<strong>Co</strong>nstruction Notes:<br />
Seam allowance is ¼˝. Press seams as you go. Be sure to follow<br />
manufacturer’s directions if you are using closures that need to be<br />
added during construction. It's helpful to label the pieces as they<br />
are cut.<br />
Join tote top, midddle and bottom sections together.<br />
Make 2.<br />
Fuse fleece to the wrong sides of the tote front and back.<br />
Wrong sides together, place each fused piece on a muslin<br />
rectangle. Quilt as desired. Trim edges evenly to 18˝ x 21˝.<br />
Outside Pocket<br />
Fuse interfacing to wrong side of one pocket piece. Trace<br />
pocket curve onto paper to use as a guide. Fold each pocket<br />
in half, align template to fold, and cut curve.<br />
Layer pocket pieces right sides together. Sew around all sides<br />
and top edge leaving curved seam open Trim corners and turn<br />
right side out; press. Baste curved edge.<br />
Bind curved edge as you would for a quilt, folding binding<br />
ends in 1/4” to finish.<br />
Center pocket on front of the tote bag, aligning bottom of<br />
pocket with seam line between tote bottom and middle<br />
sections. Sew around sides and bottom of pocket, double stitch<br />
ends for reinforcement.<br />

Sew Front and Back<br />
With right sides together, sew tote front and back together at<br />
the side and bottom edges. Press seam allowances open.<br />
To shape a flat bottom, fold the tote (with right sides<br />
together) so that the side seam meets up with the bottom.<br />
Pin the seams together. Measure 2 ½˝ from point and draw<br />
a line. Sew on the marked line. Stitch again to reinforce the<br />
seam.<br />
Trim<br />
2 ½˝<br />
Trim seam allowance to ½˝ and zig zag stitch along raw edges.<br />
Turn tote right side out.<br />
Lining<br />
Inside Pocket<br />
Fuse 6˝ x 21˝ interfacing to the wrong side one of the inside<br />
pockets. Place pocket pieces right sides together. Stitch along<br />
both long edges, leaving the sides open. Turn right side out<br />
and press. Top stitch 1/8˝ from the top edge of the pocket.<br />
Place pocket on the right side of one of the lining sides. Align<br />
the raw edges of the pocket with the side edges of the lining,<br />
approximately 3˝ down from the top. Baste pocket in place<br />
along side seams. Top stitch through all the layers along the<br />
bottom edge.<br />
6˝<br />
3”<br />
Front side of lining<br />
21˝<br />
If you like, divide the pocket into three separate pockets by<br />
stitching 6˝ in from each side. Back stitch to reinforce the<br />
seams.<br />
With right sides together, sew side and bottom edges of<br />
lining. Leave a 6˝ opening in the bottom seam for turning<br />
tote right side out. Press seams open. Stitch bottom corners<br />
in the same manner as you did for the tote. Leave lining<br />
wrong side out.<br />
Handles<br />
Press strips in half to mark center. Open and press ½˝ to<br />
the inside along both long edges of the handle strips. Open<br />
pressed edges. Place fusible interfacing on the wrong side of<br />
the handle strip between the fold lines. Fuse in place.<br />
6˝<br />
Fold in edges again, fold the handle strip in half lengthwise<br />
and press. Top stitch both long sides of the handle. Make two.<br />
Fold handle in half crosswise to find the center. Mark with a<br />
pin. Fold the handle in half lengthwise and measure 3˝ from<br />
each side of the pin. Stitch folded edges together for 6˝ to<br />
make a narrow section of the handle. It is easier to carry this<br />
way.<br />
3˝<br />
Flap<br />
Trace curve onto paper and use as a guide for the flap. Fuse<br />
interfacing to the wrong side of one flap piece. Place the two<br />
flap pieces wrong sides together. Pin or baste. Bind around<br />
curved edge as you would for a quilt. Baste raw edges of the<br />
straight edge of the flap.<br />
Measure 3˝ in from each side of the side seams and pin<br />
handles to right side of the front and back of the tote,<br />
matching raw edges. Place flap at the center of the right side<br />
of the bag back, raw edges even. Pin. Baste close to the edges.<br />
