Baseline Tote Bag (PDF Download)

This beginner-friendly pattern was designed for quilters who have never made a bag before but it's also a quick and easy make for more experienced sewists. It's great for a weekend project or sewing retreat. 

This bag can be made with 5"x5" precut squares or yardage. The construction is simple, with no lining, zippers, or hardware required. And it's big enough to hold your snacks, books, and other necessities, or to use on a shopping run. 

Included in the PDF pattern are four pages of step-by-step instructions, color diagrams, and a coloring page to design your very own bag.
