The Fiesta Tote Bag

The Fiesta Tote Bag


I recently made a super cute tote bag!   I was testing a new  pattern,  called  the "Fiesta Tote",  by  Samantha , of  Sewing Patterns by Mrs H.

The Fiesta Tote Bag
You can buy it HERE

I really love it!!   It has some fun features:    rivets,  and  webbing  for both short handles and a removable strap.   There's an outside zipper pocket, and  inside slip pocket to keep you organized!

Here are the details:

See the back outer  zippered pocket?  I love it!!

The Soft and Stable interfacing gives just the right of stiffness to the tote.

The body strap.   It's removable, too!

There are lots of pockets inside!!

I added a zippered pocket, too.   Because you can never have too many pockets!!

There's a magnetic snap closure , too.

I love the size of this tote.... it can hold a lot , and yet look stylish as a purse.

Amanda's directions are clear and well written. This is a good bag for a beginner sewer.

I had a lot of fun making this bag!  Since I gave it as a gift, I want to make one for myself this summer!
