Tuesday's Totes Pattern

The Tuesday's Totes Pattern by Suzanne's Art House Patterns is a versatile sewing pattern that gives you four tote bag styles to create, ranging from simple to more advanced.
With a finished size of 11.5" x 15.5" x 33⁄4", these totes are perfectly sized for everyday use, sewing projects, or as a custom quilted handbag.
The easiest option uses just two fabrics for the front and back panels, while three additional versions feature different pieced exteriors - from a straightforward block to more detailed mini blocks - so you can choose your skill level and fabric play.
Inside, each tote includes a zippered pocket, a slip pocket, and a magnetic snap closure, with all seams fully enclosed for a professional, polished finish.
The pattern also provides two handle size options, letting you customise your tote for shoulder carry or hand carry.
With 5 pages of clear instructions and illustrations, this pattern is accessible for confident beginners while still offering creative challenges for experienced sewists.
