Are you going to sew your own bag, but want an even easier pattern? Here is another easy tote bag tutorial, this one is simple enough for even the most beginning sewer!
Something to remember when sewing a tote bag you want to choose a high-quality durable fabric. You want a fabric that resists tearing or shredding at the seams when filled. Also, you can be creative and add side pockets or slip pockets to add more storage space.
To make this gift extra special you can slip an apple for the teacher into the bag.
