The I'd Rather Be Sewing Grocery Tote by ChrisW Designs

The I’d Rather Be Sewing Grocery Tote is super fast and easy to make. It can be whipped up in an evening. With a simple technique to add some piping for definition and style, the tote is unlined to make it light and able to fold nice and flat for easy storage. Made from Home Decorator Fabrics, your tote will be durable and neatly finished with French Seams. Personalise your tote with some cool embroidery or you can purchase our FUN design which can either be embroidered or printed. The I’d Rather Be Sewing Tote requires minimal supplies so why not whip up a pile for you and your friends or make them to sell!

Finished size:
Small: Approx. 30cm (12”) W X 32cm (12 ½”) H X 18cm (7”) D.
Large: Approx. 33cm (13”) W X 34cm (13 ½”) H X 18cm (7”) D.
