Introducing The City Tote!

The City Tote is an intermediate-level sewing pattern to create a practical and stylish tote bag. With a lovely large internal space, as well as a good-sized centre zipped pocket, this chic tote is perfect for the office or for school, to take to the gym, or even as a baby bag!

As with all the projects in the Masterclass, the instructions guide you through how to use the techniques sections to construct your bag, but you can, of course, customise The City Tote to suit your style!

The City Tote is one of the intermediate-level projects in The Complete Bag Making Masterclass. If you’d like to make the project a little easier, you could consider leaving out the centre zipped divider pocket. However you sew your City Tote, please don’t be afraid to ask for help in our Facebook group if you get stuck along the way.

FAQ:

Will The City Tote be released as a separate sewing pattern?

No. The City Tote will not be released as a standalone pattern. The projects section of The Complete Bag Making Masterclass refers back to the techniques sections of the book, so you will need a copy of the book in order to sew this pattern. If you’d like to sew your own City Tote, grab a copy of The Complete Bag Making Masterclass from your local sewing supplies store, from Amazon, or direct from us here at: The Complete Bag Making Masterclass

Is there a video for this project?

There’s a video for one of the techniques! Junyuan gave a live demonstration in our Facebook group of how to sew a centre zipped pocket, which is now available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGVCzOCw3GA
