Market District Shopping Tote

Description

ABOUT THE MARKET DISTRICT TOTE:
A highly versatile bag, the Market District Tote features interesting curved contrasts on the main exterior panel.  A durable base makes this bag ideal for carrying groceries, library books, beach towels, and much more.  Inside is an adjustable Thermos/Water Bottle keeper with Velcro closure, with two sizes to choose from.  A super easy-to-sew zippered pocket keeps your coins, coupons, and sundries secure and accessible.  Instructions are included for an optional top zipper closure.  Straps can be made from fabric and installed into the curved accents, or purchased vinyl/leather straps may be added with rivets for completely different look. Instructions are included for both strap options.

ABOUT THE PATTERN:
Photos and illustrations accompany 11 pages of detailed, tutorial-style instructions. Patterns are included for both fabric and interfacing pieces. Additionally, dimensions are provided for square and rectangle pieces in order to use a rotary cutter and cutting mat. I include fabric and interfacing pattern layouts, and labels to keep your prepared fabric pieces organized while you sew. A team of 15 testers vetted this pattern, testing varied methods and interfacings, editing, revising, and clarifying — ensuring your successful outcome.
