From Sewing Patterns by Mrs H:

The Window Shopper Tote pattern was the February 2016 pattern for the Bag of the Month Club. A beautifully big tote bag, perfect for taking to the shops!

Summary

  • Finished dimensions of 15" x 16" x 2.5" (38cm x 40cm x 6cm)
  • Detachable, adjustable strap
  • Eye-catching metal grommet handles
  • 4 inside pockets - one zipped pocket, one slip pocket and two half-width pockets
  • 2 outside pockets, 1 full width back pocket, 1 front pleated pocket
  • Zipped top

Dimensions

With finished dimensions of 15" (38cm) wide, 16" (40cm) tall, and 2.5" (6cm) deep, this beautifully big bag is perfect for shopping and days out, running errands, or even apparently a quick trip to the gym (so I've been told....), with plenty of room for everything you need for a fantastic day out!

Bag Features

The Window Shopper Tote has 6 pockets - 4 inside and 2 outside - plenty of room for everything you need! The oval metal grommet handles really make this bag stand out, with a detachable cross body shoulder strap for heavier loads - carrying 7kgs of rock samples isn't recommended!  There is also a zipped top to keep everything safe inside. The bag can be stabilised with a foam stabiliser and medium weight interfacing such as SF101, G700 or F220.

One of my testers, Amy, has written a great tutorial on how to add a flap to the front pocket, which you can read here.
