Bobbi’s “Just Right” bag pattern, by Sweet Season Quilts, really is just the right size.  At 11″ x 10″ x 2″, it’s not too big and it’s not too small.   And it has pockets galore:  five interior pockets, a pouch pocket on the outside, and a convenient front pocket that zippers so you can keep your license and keys handy but safe.  Finish the top your way… with a zipper or a snap.

The Hampton Tote is big enough (14″ x 13″ x 6″) for your all day outings.  A little flair at the sides of the top, plus a few buttons add some personality.  This is a great place to use those novelty buttons you’ve been saving.  The pink is perfect for spring.   For a summer tote you could use lots of bright colors. 

Cami’s Tote is another generous sized bag.  It’s bigger than it looks – those sides open up!   It’s easy to make with lots of options to add, or not, you choose.  Choices include an easy-to-apply back zipper pocket, a roomy front pocket, and/or tons of interior compartments.  Finished size is 16″ x 13″ x 4.5″.

One more big one… the Village Bag will really show off that large scale print you haven’t wanted to cut into.  You knew you were saving it for just the right project, didn’t you?!   This one finishes at 13.5″ x 30″ – just right for tossing in a few file folders if you need to bring work home, or that stack of papers that you need to grade, or maybe your handwork project-to-go.

With all this toting, you are going to want to include a lunch bag. Ciara’s Munch bag can hold a few snacks or an entire lunch.  You can make it insulated or not.   And the best part is that is folds up small when you are finished…. just toss it in your tote bag. 

Well, that’s the latest we have to offer.  Start sewing now because spring is nearly here and you know you’re going to want to get out and roam…. and you’ll need a bag for all your essentials.  If none of these work for you there are plenty of other purse and bag patterns – lots of old favorites.
