Tutorial: Jumbo storage tote

This jumbo storage tote by Sew4Home can be used to organize just about any room in your house. At 17″ high x 16″ in diameter, it’s big enough to hold toys or rolled up bath towels, or a throw blanket by the couch. You can make one using their tutorial. The sides stand up and hold the round shape, thanks to the heavy fabric on the outside and a heavy interfacing between the outer and the lining. But with flexible sides and rope handles, you can also pick this up and carry it like a tote.
