kzstevens Side Handle Gusset Tote Pattern

$9.00

This little bag is so simple, yet so perfect! We taught this little project as a class and it was so much fun. It was originally published as the Japanese Style Linen Tote in Making Magazine No. 6 (Black and White) which is no longer available, so we we are so happy to have it but in stock and look forward to teaching the class again soon.

Clean lines and minimalist hand-stitched details make this the perfect tote to carry around your latest embroidery or knitting project, or for a quick trip to the farmers market. The deep gusset makes it super roomy and the side mounted handles cleverly close up the top while you are toting it around. There is an added side pocket to stash your essentials. Dig through your stash, gather your most treasured scraps and have some fun!
