An easy to follow sewing pattern to create your very own Roll With It Tote. This beautifully curved tote bag has been designed to show off your favourite fabric, while remaining practical and eye-catching at the same time.
With piping, shiny o-rings, a recessed zipper closure, and two outer slip pockets, the Roll With It Tote really packs a punch (but is a relatively easy sew!) and comes in two sizes, small and large.
It is suitable for an advanced beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn. Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and diagrams to make adding the zipper/s an easy and stress-free experience.
