Boxed Craft Tote Bag | Sewing Pattern With Video Tutorial

Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps

If you've been in the swing of getting your home organized these last few months, here's the perfect caddy to store all your crafting essentials!

This handy boxed-based bag has a choice of two flaps – one to cover the whole of the top of the bag, and one that leaves the sides open so you can carry longer items such as rulers and seam gauges. If you like either option, and have a nice pile of fabrics just waiting to be used, why not make both?

Edited (02/07/2020): Unfortunately, the downloadable pattern template for this project on its release date had an error in it. We are very sorry about this. Please know it has since been corrected, and the pattern template available for downloading now is the amended version.
