This tote bag with flat bottom is a great Sewing for Beginners project
If you are looking for a cute but simple bag to make to hold your things, make for a gift or sew and sell – this tote bag with a front pocket is just what you need!
I was getting ready to head to a quilt show and decided I should have a bag using one of my most recent fabric collections. The finished size of the bag is 16″ wide x 13″ high x 5″ deep – perfect for carrying my iPad and anything I purchase along the way!

This tote is made from my Golf Days fabric designed for Riley Blake Designs. I decided to keep it pretty neutral using an argyle for the main print. I added some scraps of selvage to the top of the pocket for added interest.
Depending on how intricate you do your quilting, these bags can be whipped up in a few hours and are a great sewing for beginners project.

For more projects and sewing fun, I would love to have you follow me on Instagram or Facebook. Happy Sewing!
