Noodlehead Sewing Pattern - Firefly Tote Bag

The Firefly Tote bag sewing pattern by indie pattern brand Noodlehead.

An easy to use tote and project bag! The tote size is perfect for a day trip or a work bag, and the project size is great for knitting or crochet projects, or as a lunch bag! Both sizes feature a fun drawstring closure and an interior slip pocket. A handy front pocket with an additional zippered pocket makes this tote super functional!

Features:

Two sizes to sew! "Project" size is the smaller of the two, "Tote" size is the larger.

Front slip & zip pockets (great for featuring a favorite fabric and oh so useful!)

Drawstring top closure to keep everything secure

Interior pocket

Simplified option for an even quicker sew!

So many possibilities!
