About Tote Bag with Closure

What we like about Tote Bag with Closure is how little it tries to be everything — it does diy bag, and that is the job we wanted filled on the Bag and Pouch Patterns shelf. Credit goes to Make it in denim School. 397 saves is a quiet kind of recommendation, and it is the only one we can read off the listing. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist.

Check whether the pattern includes the hardware sizes. Guessing a strap slider after cutting is how a bag stalls for a month. We would use it the way the listing hints — handbag diy — and that is also where we would start if you are trying it for the first time. One thing we always do and you should too: open the preview full size. A thumbnail hides exactly the detail that decides whether diy bag is really what you are getting.

Search for sewing, sewing pattern, sewing tutorial and tote bag diy and this is the file those words land on; they are all the same pattern, filed under whichever phrase you happened to type. The same shelf also answers to pouch, purse and backpack, so widen the search there before giving up on it. We track what people actually type before they land here: tote bag pattern, tote bag diy pattern, crochet tote bags free patterns, bag sewing patterns and tote bag sewing pattern. If that is roughly what you were after, this pattern is in the right family. We keep it under Bag and Pouch Patterns, which is where to look if you want the rest of the bag and pouch patterns we have gone through.

How to use this pattern

  1. Download the files from Creative Fabrica and unzip them into one folder.
  2. Print the pattern sheets at 100% — no scaling, no «fit to page» — and check the test square with a ruler before you cut anything.
  3. Tape the sheets together on the printed match marks, then cut the pieces out and keep the instruction sheet next to your machine.
  4. Sew a quick version in cheap fabric first if the shape is new to you; the second one is always the one you keep.
