Meet the Stevie Bag Tote Sewing Pattern

Stevie Bag PDF tote sewing pattern overview

The Stevie Bag PDF Sewing Pattern is a roomy, structured tote with a relaxed, bohemian feel.

It finishes at 12½"W × 15"H × 5"D and features:

  • Magnetic snap closure
  • Four interior slip-in pockets
  • Decorative strap accents
  • Gusseted base
  • Plenty of room for everyday essentials
  • Lots of opportunities to customize

And here's the fun part: the Stevie doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

Change your materials. Mix your fabrics. Make your own straps. Switch up the pockets. Add a decorative label plate.

The pattern gives you the starting point. You get to decide where it goes.
