Make a Tote Bag

All right, you've got me started. A comment about sewing shopping bags to make Christmas presents (great idea, Marybelle!) set me to looking for ideas and patterns for shopping bags or totes.

If those are not enough, here's a list (with images) of links to 45 free tote bag patterns, including some made from dish cloths, pillow cases and tank tops). Although this list is several years old, most if not all of the links still work. Happy sewing!

  1. A tote or shopping bag is very easy to sew. You can personalize it too.

  2. Since the push to use fewer plastic bags began, I've started to accumulate a collection of bags, but none of them are as nice as something made by hand.
