Description
Introducing a stylish and functional tote that can be customised to suit your needs! This quick tote comes with a few optional add-ons, but it's just as beautiful and useful in its simplicity without them. The tote features a handy front pocket that you can customize with your own details or showcase a favourite fabric. The divided interior pocket keeps your belongings organized and easy to access.
You also have the option of choosing a magnetic snap top closure or a recessed zipper closure to keep your items secure. And, if you're feeling creative, you can even opt for a snap closure for the front pocket, or get adventurous with a turn lock or a Loxx closure, as shown on the tan sample. With so many possibilities, this tote is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a functional and stylish bag.
Recommended Fabrics
Canvas or waxed canvas (7-10 oz.) for the exterior fabric, and quilting cotton for the lining.
If you are using waxed canvas (8-10 oz.), reduce the fusible woven interfacing to 1 ¼ yd and do not interface the exterior fabric pieces. If you are using non-directional exterior fabric reduce to 2/3 yd (61 cm).
