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.
