Welcome to the first edition of the Schoolhouse Patterns Free Pattern Friday. Now, as I said previously, this will most likely not be a weekly occurrence. Not because I don’t have a tank full of patterns to share with you, but because of lots of other reasons. Family. Dishes. Homeschooling. Laundry. Dates with my husband. Enough of the chit chat. Brass Tax.
Today’s free pattern is this adorable little tote bag. When finished, it measure 9″x9″, perfect for a little one to carry around or for me to carry around a bag of chocolate kisses. Either way, it’s just the right size.
You have 6 days to prepare for Valentine’s Day. That’s plenty of time to do some Valentine’s sewing for some sweet ones in your life.
But wait, there’s more. I’m also including the letters and hearts in a PDF for helping with your love letter on a tote bag. New to applique? This post will tell you what to do. You’ll do great! How exciting!!
This is a quick sew with minimal materials required. You probably already have everything you need.
Well loves, you can find The Mini Tote pattern here and the Valentine’s PDF here. There are enough letters to make all of the tote bags you see here.
I would love to see the bags you make. Feel free to post pics on my Facebook page. Click, like, post.
With love, Cindy
