Tutorial: Leather lattice tote

Erin from Francois et Moi shows how you can make this leather lattice tote.  The style is sleek and modern.  The simple lines make this an easy bag to make.  Slits cut in the leather give it texture and shaping.  If you’re thinking your belongings will spill out through those slits, she says they’re cut small enough that that won’t happen.  I wouldn’t suggest putting tiny items in there, though, but I probably won’t put tiny items in the bottom of a large tote anyway.

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.
