Introducing the Classic Market Tote by Andrie Designs! This is the third pattern in the Andrie Designs Classic Collection – an ongoing collection of patterns designed to be simple and quick to construct, yet effective and classic in design. They are patterns designed for all types of makers, whether you make to sell or simply sew for pleasure.
~ The Classic Market Tote was first featured in Issue #92 of the Australian magazine ‘Quilters Companion’ (click here) ~
The Classic Market Tote comes in two sizes and has been created to give you a practical market tote, perfect for not only trips to the market but almost anything else you need a tote bag for as well, all the while still having that ‘wow’ factor.
This simple yet eye-catching tote bag features two outer slip pockets, a generously sized main compartment complete with a key hook, and an inner zipper pocket. It also includes a simple magnetic snap closure, gorgeous O-rings, and straightforward construction techniques.
~ This design is also available as a comprehensive video class!

This pattern comes with two files – the pattern instructions/pieced pattern pages, and a large print pattern pieces file suitable for printing at your local print shop on the correct sized paper. It has 10 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn.
Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and diagrams to make adding the zipper an easy and stress-free experience.

I purchased this pattern because I wanted a larger base than some of the tote patterns I owned. I cannot tell you how much I LOOOOVE this pattern. It went together super easy with the great detailed instructions and even though I did a mock-up first with some leftover material that didn’t exactly match, my mock-up tote turned out fabulous! I won’t hesitate to take this one out and about at all.

This is a gorgeous pattern, really super easy to sew and the video is so well done it leaves no doubt about mistakes which is impossible with this video. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Every woman needs this tote in her collection of bags, it is a must.

I love the design. Think the outside pockets should be a bit longer.

I love this pattern. A really useful style with pockets on the outside as well as zippered on the inside. The tutorial is very clear and easy to follow

I am so happy with this pattern as it is my first tote bag pattern and one that turns out beautifully. My skills are at an intermediate level but even beginners will do great. I used foam interfacing which gives the bag body. I decided I like decorative top stitching so on my second bag am using that instead of the plain top stitch. Thanks so much for a great pattern and also for the helpful tutorial on the magnetic snap (my first time using them).

I love this tote! I made one for my sister with an added recessed zipper and she rally loves it! The size is great for a quick trip, and has a unique design. I used a cat theme and the outside pockets have cats peeking out! Thank you!

This is a fantastic pattern for showing off your favorite fabrics! I was able to print the pattern on my home printer, matched the markings on the printout for the larger pieces, and when I was sewing the pattern pieces together they fit perfectly. I am super happy with the finished product and highly recommend this pattern. I also purchased the video instructions for the Classic Market Tote which was very well done!

I love this tote! Very well written pattern. I had my eye on this pattern for a long time. I made this my sister and now I need to make one for me. So glad I got this pattern. The foam gives it a great look and feel.
