Golf Days – How to Sew a Tote Bag with a Front Pocket

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!

Golf Tote Bag made from Golf Days fabric by Tara Reed for Riley Blake Designs

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.
