I love the structure of the bag, the strength, and the classic look. I am looking forward to sew the next one in a beautiful tapestry fabric I have had on the shelf and make it without a decorative band. The pattern allows you to choose to put the decorative band on all sides of the bag or just the sides you want to. You can also increase the length on the handles to carry on your shoulder. There are several options to customize and make it your own!

The bags shown in the photos were sewn with contrasting thread so it is easier for you to see here the stitching you will be making. However, I do like the way it looks when the thread has less contrast and matches exactly to the fabric, or to the dominant color on the edge of the print in a piece of fabric.

There are 2 sizes included in the sewing pattern. In the photographs you will see that I added some items inside each bag size to demonstrate different uses and capacity. The large has the towel inside and it is a big bag that can get you to the beach, or even a weekender bag that you can stuff with pouches and all your favorite accessories.

The smaller tote looks like it’s on its way to the office or the library. The small size can also be used as a purse. It is a reduced size that is small enough to carry to a restaurant with lots of room for your essentials.

The bag can be stored flat and can be easily packed in a suitcase. In fact, the small fits inside the large for storage!
