Uptown Girl Tote Bag Pattern

Like this? Share it!

Uptown Girl is a City Chic Tote

Strike a pose with this city chic bag, perfect for a romantic stroll or serious shopping. Make this tote bag with a collection of fat eighths, use regular yardage to create a minimalist one-fabric look on the front and back, or use fussy cut fabric as shown here on the sample bag (Robert Kaufman’s Explore America).

For Canadians, Homeward Bound is a sister pattern that uses panels.

The tote is softly structured with decorative rings, a relaxed side silhouette, protective bag feet and one large external and internal slip pockets. The design is finished with a secure zipped top closure.

Bag Measures: 12″H x 17″W x 5″D
