Category: 47-Bag Patterns

A simple, generous everyday tote that comes together quickly and gets used constantly.

The Pepin is the kind of bag you reach for without thinking – roomy enough for a notebook, lunch, and the extras that never fit in your purse, but clean enough in shape to feel intentional.

It's beautiful in its simplicity, but there's also room to play. Add a magnetic snap or recessed zipper for a more secure closure, dress up the front pocket with a turn lock or fancy snap, or let a favourite fabric do all the talking. And because the whole pattern is made of rectangles, there's nothing to print, trace, or tape together – you cut straight from the fabric and start sewing.

✨ Here's why you'll love it:

  • Generous everyday size that fits a notebook, a water bottle, and your everything-else
  • Front pocket that's perfect for featuring a special print or fussy-cut detail
  • Divided interior pocket for keys, phone, and lip balm
  • So many ways to customize: magnetic snap top, recessed zipper, decorative snap on the front pocket, a turn lock, a Loxx closure… make it yours
  • No templates to print or tape – all rectangles, cut straight from the fabric
  • Free video sew-along walks you through every step

    Good to know:

    • Skill level: Beginner
    • Finished dimensions: 13.5" wide x 12" tall x 4" deep (34.3 x 30.5 x 10.2 cm)

    Christopher ★★★★★

    I love how roomy this tote is—it easily fits my laptop and a water bottle without feeling bulky. The pattern was straightforward, and I had it finished in a single afternoon.

    Grace N. ★★★★★

    The instructions were so clear that I sewed the whole thing in one weekend, and the finished tote holds my laptop, a water bottle, and a scarf without looking bulky. I love that the pattern uses simple straight seams, so even a beginner like me got a professional-looking result.

    Mia ★★★★★

    The finished bag is surprisingly spacious—my tablet fits right in next to a water bottle with room to spare. The instructions were clear enough that I didn't have to re-read any steps.
