Everyday Tote Bag

The Everyday Tote Bag is the bag you need in your life! The perfect size and shape for wearing with everything; big enough for a laptop to slide in but small enough to not overwhelm the rest of your outfit. It has a spacious main bag section and a zipped internal pocket, big enough for your phone, for added security. Simple to sew but with a few satisfying construction techniques for a sleek finish, this project is suitable for confident beginners. Make the Everyday Tote Bag in anything with some structure and no stretch. Denims, heavy cottons and even leather work really well.
