Noodlehead Pattern by Anna Graham - Firefly Tote
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!
- made entirely of rectangles, no need to cut out templates (see below at "Pattern Information" for details)
