This pattern is intended for the confident beginner sewist who is looking to build on some new bag-making skills while showcasing your favorite fabrics. You will learn how to make elegant rolled handles, create an in-panel zipper pocket, work with different fabrics, all while building your bag expertise. In the end, you’ll have a new go-to accessory to wear with pride!\u003cbr\u003e¿With two different views, this multi-purpose tote can be changed up to show off large scale prints or\u003cbr\u003eyou can add interest with a contrasting bottom and handles. The interior band was designed to help\u003cbr\u003esupport the weight of many different types of handles. There is a large zipper pocket to stowaway the essentials and two easy access slip pockets to hold a cell phone or lip balm. The key fob was designed not only to manage keys, but the open loop is left open as a hook for sunglasses. ¿¿For the Main Exterior, this pattern was written for home decor and\/or bottomweight fabrics such as cotton canvas, duck cloth, and denim with weights of ~6-8 oz\/sq yard. The Lining is based on quilt cotton and woven fabrics with similar weights of ~4 oz\/sq yard, such as linen or chambray.\u003cbr\u003eView A uses contrasting fabric for a color-block design and also allows the opportunity to use a\u003cbr\u003eheavier fabric for more base protection. This is a great time to mix and match substrates, but please\u003cbr\u003etest to see if your machine can handle the fabric bulk. The Rolled Handles, as part of these instructions, use a double-fold construction method. With the addition of interfacing, they can get thick quickly. Using vinyl\/cork\/leather, as shown, may not be suitable for all domestic machines (I use a semi-industrial machine.) However, if you would still like to use these fabrics, you can try a single-fold construction technique to reduce bulk. Alternatively, you can also use 1 1\/2” webbing. Videos are found on the YouTube channel. ¿¿Finished Dimensions: 13 1\/2”L (18 1\/2” at longest) x 12”H (23” with handles) x 7”D\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinted Paper PatternFinished Size: 13 1\/2in L (18 1\/2in at longest) x 12in H (23in with handles) x 7in DFinal Product: Bags \/ Purses \/ TotesTechnique Used: Standard Machine SewingSkill Level: Confident Beginner \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fade-out\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Love You Sew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52859582578988,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/8378\/files\/LYS-COL.avif?v=1776203181","url":"https:\/\/www.threelittlebirdssewingco.com\/products\/colleen-tote-bag-pattern-love-you-sew-patterns","provider":"Three Little Birds Sewing Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
