Mini Tote - Free Sewing Pattern PDF

FREE

This mini tote bag measures 6 inches wide x 7 inches tall x 2 inches deep. It's the perfect size for packing your lunch, carrying a few books, or toting some toys. I embroidered one of my favorite birds from this Bird Sampler pattern onto a solid fabric before sewing it up, but you could simply use a fabulous print. Choose a fun coordinating color for the lining and you're ready to sew!

What you get:
  • complete pattern with steps by step instructions and lots of photos
Materials you'll need:
  • 1 fat quarter of fabric for the bag and handles
  • 1 fat quarter (or less) for the lining
  • materials for embellishing (optional)
  • sewing machine and thread
Skills you'll need: (links will take you to video tutorials)
Time you'll need:
  • an hour or so
FREE
Happy stitching!

Best,
Wendi

    Wendi, you're a genius! This was really easy and it turned out so cute! The straps are awesome and the tucks in the bottom to give the tote more width are magnificent. And best of all-no hand sewing!

    1. I'm glad you liked it! I used that same "tucks in the bottom" technique in my most recent softie pattern to give them a flat bottom without having to set in a bottom piece. :-)
