Tutorial: Beginner friendly back-to-school totes

Sew4Home shares a tutorial for making beginner friendly back-to-school tote, with 2 strap variations.  One has short handles to carry in the hand.  The other has a longer, adjustable straps.  The construction is simple, but they keep details like boxed corners, lining, and a pocket that give it a nice finish.  They show them as back-to-school totes, but I don’t think you need to heading back to school to carry these totes.  I’d totally carry either of these around town just because.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
