About Tote Bag with Folded Sides

What we like about Tote Bag with Folded Sides is how little it tries to be everything — it does denimbag, and that is the job we wanted filled on the Bag and Pouch Patterns shelf. Plenty of people got here before us: 430 of them saved it. It comes from Make it in denim School. Buyers put it at 5.0 out of 5 over 2 reviews; worth clicking through to see what they actually said.

We keep it filed mentally under diypurse, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. Bag patterns live on the interfacing list. If the pattern does not say what gives the bag its shape, expect a soft bag whatever fabric you use. Spend the minute on the preview at full size — it is where you find out whether denimbag was the description or the aspiration.

Type jeansbag, pdftutorial, sewbag and sewingpattern into the search above and this one comes back — the same pattern under four different habits of phrasing. You will find it among the bag and pouch patterns, sorted next to everything that does roughly the same job. Nearby you will see pouch and backpack, which is where to go if this one is nearly right but not quite. 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.

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.
