Ready to sew a tote that’s stylish and functional? This DIY tote bag from Helen’s Closet Patterns is a fantastic sewing project for beginners. With a clean, modern look and a fully reversible design, it’s perfect for everyday use – think groceries, books, errands, or beach trips. The free pattern includes two versions. View A features a cool asymmetrical outer pocket that’s divided into four sections – super handy for organizing your stuff. View B is a simple classic tote with clean lines and a roomy interior. Both options are fully lined for extra structure and durability.
Use medium to heavy-weight woven fabric for the outer layer (canvas or denim works great), and a lighter cotton for the lining. With clear instructions and a practical design, this is a fun weekend project that’ll leave you with a super useful and good-looking bag!
