ABOUT

The Treasure Tote is a small open-top tote that sews simply and adorns distinctly. The straps are embellished with grommets for a unique, stylish look.  This tote is the perfect size to transport your treasures or use as an impressive gift bag. No need to reuse those unsightly plastic grocery bags, when instead you can grab'n go with this one in style!

FINISHED SIZE
11" tall x 9" wide x 4" deep

LEVEL
Advanced beginner/Intermediate.

EFFORT - FAST AND EASY TO MAKE
The Treasure Tote can be completed in a day. 
The pattern has minimal pieces and uses a simple wrap-around gusset. The tote can be made soft for casual use or as a gift bag, or given a more structured and boxy-look look depending on the interfacing you use as indicated in the pattern. 

The pattern can be sewn on a domestic or an industrial machine. (The piece for an optional stiffer interfacing is left out of the seams. And the unique strap construction method minimizes bulk.)

WHATS INCLUDED

  • Two different strap layout diagrams are provided as a creative option
  • Two grommet templates simplify placement and help you size your holes
  • A grommet look-up table with sizes for the most popular grommet brands, makes selecting the right type and size a breeze.
  • A complete grommet tutorial in the appendix makes installing grommets fool proof — "Grommets Made Easy"

Grommets Made Easy:  This appendix simplifies everything you need to know. (See image of contents page.) With this tutorial installing grommets is fool-proof. You'll be surprised how easy they are with this tutorial. One tester said:

"Who knew grommets could be so easy. This tutorial does everything but install them for you!"
