Tutorial: Zippered tote bag for kids

Jill from Snugglebug University shares a tutorial at Make It and Love It showing how you can sew a zippered tote bag.  She gave it her daughter to use as a dance bag, but it’ll work for any extra curricular activity, or a library tote, or even as an overnight bag for sleepovers.  The zipper across the top keeps your things from falling out, and the pocket on the front is a good spot to hold a water bottle or other small item.

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.
