The Poolside Tote is ready for all your summer sewing adventures!
Special features:
- it’s roomy! I can fit 4 beach towels and more in mine!
- two pocket options, zippered closure or a slip pocket (or you could do both – one on each side)
- fun accents to show off your favorite quilting cotton prints
- key loop
Notes on interfacing: I give several options for interfacing choices depending on what fabrics you’re using and what type of bag you like. Heavy weight fabrics with interfacing, Soft & Stable, or batting/cotton canvas are a few of the combinations you can choose from. There is more information and details on selection included in the pattern. *
