The New Tote on the Block is a sewing pattern for a color block tote bag in two sizes. This pattern is simple to put together and comes with several color blocking variations. There are two closure options. This pattern is best for confident beginners and up. Diagrams and a photo tutorial are included.
There are also instructions for seven different types of pockets so that you can get just the right pocket configuration inside and out.
Because of all the pattern choices, there are many pages in the pattern piece documents--it is NOT necessary to print all of the pages. The pattern gives instructions on exactly which pages you need so that you can save paper.
