Great to take this one with you on vacation to France! This bread tote bag free pattern is quite simple, yet its boxy bottom makes it unique. It’s a bag shape that you’ll love. Easy to make and utterly useful, this tote bag fits 2 big baguettes breads.
However, if you prefer to stalk around town with it, it is equally great to store your knitting project (yes!), with room for your water bottle and a snack, being so tall and slender. Great for a lunch break in the park. And, handy as an extra bag to have when shopping.
Tall Tote Bag
I like this tote bag’s shape, don’t you? It has a lovely square bottom and long handles, whose drop just fits over your shoulder without the overall bag length becoming too long.

It will be a fast project, suitable for a beginning seamstress.

Tote Bag Fabrics
Secret to success for this one is to choose a pretty fabric which pattern supports the bag’s shape, like these meandering tropical flowers here. Or how about this happy bubbles fabric (below) with a striped lining?
Tip: Buy some extra for some fun garden pillows, and some trim around your bath towels and perhaps a little table cloth for your kitchen table.

I LOVE this tall tote! I don’t have anything like this in my tote-stash – I’ll have to give this pattern a try. Thanks for sharing! :)
how much of each fabric does it require? is it reversable when completed?
