Pattern Inspiration

S & S Tote

Posted on by Aimee

S & S Tote - Andrie Designs

Hi all and welcome to another pattern release, this time for the S & S Tote! This design evolved out of the desire to make a super slouchy, casual-looking bag that was quick and easy to sew, yet looked professional and could be dressed up at the same time (and as you will see below, some of my testers really went to town on their totes!).

With two different styles to choose from, and two different sizes within each style, there really is something for everyone in this versatile tote bag pattern. Plus, you can easily omit the single piece of hardware (a magnetic snap) for a fully gorgeous, yet fully hardware-free, bag! Bonus!
