A Two Charm Pack Tote For Summer Or Any Time Of Year

Bring Color Into Your Shopping With A Tumblers Tote.

Bags and totes to make are getting more and more fun, with easy designs that even beginners find easy. This colorful tote is made with tumbler blocks and two Creekside charm packs that guarantees you’ll have a good time while shopping. Cheery Creekside fabrics are totally summer, although you can detect a little Autumn there too.

The Aubri tote has invisible sewn in magnetic snaps to keep it closed. Easy to do and makes the bag so neat and professional. A delightful tote bag pieced with tumbler shapes, this charm pack friendly bag pattern finishes up really nice. The pattern includes template for tumblers, and instructions with illustrations to make a beautifully finished tote. 2 charm packs or scraps are perfect for the pieced tumbler section of the bag.

‘Soft and Stable’ batting provides a more sturdy finish and the bag is straight line quilted for extra support. Use light/midweight fusible interfacing, however the pattern suggests using Shape Flex Interfacing, an all purpose woven, fusible interfacing that is usually used to provide crisp support for collars and cuffs and such. It’s a great idea for a neat crisp look to your tote. Use a set of magnetic strips for the magnetic snaps.

There is an interior divider pocket providing an easy reach for keys, glasses wallet and shopping essentials. The pattern is the latest, hottest tote released for 2017 from ‘A Quilting Life’, to make with the new 2017 Creekside fabric line.  The colors are bright and lush. The finished tote measures 12 1/2” tall x 16 1/2” wide x 3 1/2” deep.
