Tote Bag With Compartments – Free Sewing Tutorial
This tote bag features an internal compartment. Its size accommodates a long wallet and water bottles, preventing items from getting lost inside and can keep things neatly organized. The fabric used for this bag is echino’s new [piece] pattern. This colorful, eye-catching fabric introduces a patchwork-like mix of various designs. Made from cotton-linen canvas, it’s an ideal material for bag-making.
