Why Makers Love This Project

  • Roomy and ready for anything – from grocery runs to weekends away, this bag pulls its weight.
  • Built for real life – an easy-access front pocket for grab-quick essentials, plus an interior slip pocket. Pretty and practical.
  • Secure and sturdy – the zipper top keeps everything contained on the move, and the reinforced base holds its shape even when loaded.
  • Hands-free or handheld – comes with a removable crossbody strap, or carry it by the handles. Finished dimensions: 15"W × 5"D × 12"H (38.1 × 12.7 × 30.5 cm).
  • Coordinated so you don't have to be – every fabric and hardware piece was curated to look like you planned it for months.

Resources to Get You Started

  • Oxbow Tote Printed Paper Pattern (sold separately)
  • Follow along with Noodlehead's free video sew-along – she walks you through every step.

You'll also need: polyester thread, water-soluble pen or tailor's chalk, cutting mat, ruler, rotary cutter, size 14 or 16 denim or Microtex needle, and double-sided basting tape.

Michael ★★★★★

The pre-cut leather handles saved me so much time, and the canvas is sturdy enough to hold my laptop and lunch without sagging. I finished it in one weekend and already get compliments when I use it at the farmer's market.

Benjamin H. ★★★★★

The instructions for cutting and assembly are incredibly clear—I had the main body sewn together in one afternoon. The pre-cut hardware and zipper are a nice touch that saved me a trip to the craft store.

Riley ★★★★★

I was a little intimidated by a zip-top tote, but the pre-cut pieces and clear instructions made it surprisingly smooth. The coordinating fabrics in this kit are gorgeous and the bag is already getting compliments. It's roomy enough for my laptop and a water bottle, which is exactly what I needed.
