Classic design meetsmodern twist. This cooltote with boxed bottomcan carry anything youthrow at (or in) it. Theleather strap simplifi es
the design and accentu-ates your style.
Clean, classic lines meanits easy to construct, soyou go from zero to tote-and-go in less t ime. Itwont be long before this

The bag top is split into three pieces; cut them out and tape
them together before cutting out your fabric pieces!

step four
Press the seam allowances towards the bottom of the bag.
step three
Stitch the bottom
to the top for each
side of the bag using
-wide seam
allowances.
step two
Iron your fabric, then cut
out the bag tops (2) and
bag bottoms (2).
Topstitch the edge of the base seam on each side. I used
decorative stitch #401 on my BERNINA 580 E, with a width
of 7.1 mm and length of 5.1 mm. Experiment with decorative
stitches, or keep it simple with just a straight stitch.

Cut the squares from the corners of the bag base.
step seven
Using a clear quilters ruler, measure in 1 at the corners
of the base of the bag as shown; mark with a fabric pen.
step six
With right sides together, stitch the side and bottom edges of
the bag using a -wide seam allowance.
Press the seam allowances open.
With the bag still inside out, pinch the cut-out edges together
as shown, making sure the previously sewn seams are
pressed open. Pin in place.

step twelve
Sew the binding to the bag, stitching close to the edge of the
binding (a scant) as shown.
step eleven
step ten
Sew the corner edges
together with -wide
seam allowances.
This will create nice
boxed corners on the
base of your bag.
On one side of the top edge of your bag, pin the bias binding
in place.
For the second half of the binding, start by opening the
binding at its main crease and folding the corners in slightly
as shown.
Then fold the end under ; press.

step sixteen
To attach the handle to the bag, pin it to the points of the
bag as the desired length.
Stitch-in-the-ditch beside the binding and across the
bottom of the handle, creating a triangle shape as shown.
To make sure those handles are nice and secure, go over
your stitching again about three times.
step fourteen
Pin the binding in place, then repeat the above folding
technique once you reach the other edge on the point of the
bag, overlapping the ends.
Stitch the binding in place as you did in step eleven.
step fif teen
For the handle, fold the leather strip in half lengthwise;
press (check a scrap first to make sure it wont melt).
Fold under each outer edge ; press.Finally, fold press
the center crease again with all edges turned under.
Stitch the open edges of the strap together close to the
edge (a scant), making sure you catch both sides of the
strap in your stitches.
