Pattern Description:

The Parisian Street Tote Version Two pattern now includes two sizes!

The traditional small size is still the popular size and style as it has always been making it the perfect every day tote with pockets a plenty for organizing all of your necessities. It carries like a purse with a pretty profile.

 

The new larger size is created to be the perfect size tote for commuting to the office, on a business trip, or a day out and about shopping. It offers more room than the original small size but not too big so that still carries comfortably on the shoulder.

 

A dropped yoke and double shoulder straps for comfort in carrying. Features two wrap around side pockets; perfect for keeping the essentials at hand.

 

A front slip and zip pocket to keep phone, small tablet, keys and other essentials convenient and secure.

 

The lined interior features a large back slip pocket along with a newly added zipper pocket for even more places to organize your daily items.  The Magnetic snap closure keeps everything neatly inside.

 

Best off all the Parisian Street Tote is an easy and quick sew that don’t require a lot of materials and no hardware other than a magnetic snap. A great pattern for beginners or those that enjoy a quick sew, or items to sew and sell. Great beginner pattern too!
