African Tote Bag Pattern

$AUD 11.99

You can never have enough bags!

Since my first trip to Africa 30+ years ago, I have had a love of African fabric.

I made this tote bag pattern using fat quarters of African fabric paired with a black on black base fabric. This design also works well with bright batiks or Kaffe Fassett fabric.

The tote bag has 2 large pockets inside to place all those essentials and a large central space where you can stash quilt projects, knitting, library books, whatever you need to carry.

Make a creative statement with this African inspired tote bag.

Description

The bag I made uses seven fat quarters which provides a good variety of colour and pattern. The patterns on the fabrics I used were quite large. The beauty of this is that when cut, the fabric looks different each time. Don’t be afraid to pick large bold patterns!

Create yourself a colourful all-purpose tote bag. Suitable for carrying those items and projects that don’t fit in your purse.

Skill Level: all skill levels, rotary cutting and basic sewing skills

Finished Size: 18 inches wide x 20 inches tall x 4 inches deep, plus 2 large inside pockets
