Firefly Tote Pattern

The Firefly Tote Pattern by Noodlehead is a versatile and practical bag design that works beautifully as both a stylish everyday tote and a handy project bag.
Designed with functionality in mind, this pattern includes two sizes - a larger tote for day trips or work and a smaller project size ideal for knitting, crochet, or even a lunch bag.
Both versions feature a clever drawstring closure to keep contents secure, an interior slip pocket for organisation, and a standout front pocket with an additional zippered pocket - perfect for showing off a favourite fabric while adding extra storage.
A simplified construction option is also included for an even quicker sew, making this a satisfying project whether you want a detailed bag or a fast finish.
With its combination of practicality and modern design, the Firefly Tote is perfect for fabric lovers who want a functional bag that still looks beautiful.
