strawberry weekender tote

I realized that my luggage collection is bimodal when packing for a short trip this weekend. There are the smaller totes that can fit a change of clothes for the gym or contra dancing and the large osprey backpack, duffel bag, and zippered Bean tote that I can fit a week's worth of clothes into. The obvious solution to me? Make a new bag!


Pattern: modified reversible tote planned for a 17"x13.5"x4" finished bag (just under 3x the volume of my small gym totes)
Fabric: Grandma's stash, both the strawberries on navy and the inner cornflower blue flowers scattered on a pale pink background.
Special features: magnetic snap, inside wallet, phone and pen pockets
