tote with many pockets free sewing pattern

Free bag patterns with pockets are the best for keeping everything handy. The Tote with Many Pockets is one of those. Cutting and fusing interfacing take up most of your time here. Use a home décor weight fabric so you can skip the interfacing!

The Basket Tote free sewing pattern is a classic purse. Skip the quilting and use fusible fleece instead for a fast sew! You could also skip the piping, but I don’t recommend that – it’s such a pretty touch.

My Speedy Patchwork Totes use gridded interfacing for quick piecing. Make them as large or small as you want!

The Picnic Tote makes a beautiful purse with pockets inside – and it’s really a lot simpler to make than it looks!

The Pom Pom Tote. Although the quilting makes this bag really cute, you could quilt a lot less than I did. 🙂

This Japanese Style Tote bag pattern is even faster to sew if you skip the patchwork on the lining.

No handles to sew plus a simple design make the Rope Handled Tote a breeze! This is a free pattern that you’ll sew again and again because it’s so fast and easy.

The Flying Geese Tote is fast to make and really big so you can take everything with you.

If you skip the quilting on the Sweet Quilted Tote it will sew up in no time. Or spend 20 fun minutes quilting – I would!

This Little Book Bag with a pocket on front uses canvas so there’s no lining!

The 1 Yard Magic Hobo Bag. Seriously, 1 yard, 1 hour, and you’ll be done. I promise!
