Florence Market Tote - Printed Pattern

The Florence Market Tote Pattern finishes at 19" wide x 16" tall x 6" deep and includes options for creating your own using quick Half-square triangles or solid fabric for a wholecloth effect. This is a great carry all bag that can be customized to include all 4 interior pockets, along with an interior zip pocket, or you can select which to add.  Slender pockets are great for pens and lip balm, and the wide pocket helps you wrangle your phone with ease.  The generous size makes this the perfect tote for everything!

Instructions detail how to make the half-square triangle tote.  There is also an option to make a wholecloth tote, and the dimensions to do that are included in the pattern.  I have used extra English paper piecing projects to make other panels into the size needed for the wholecloth bag, but these instructions are not explicitly included in the Florence Market Tote pattern and you'll need to purchase whatever EPP pattern you prefer to complete that.

The Florence Market Tote has an inset zipper set inside the top of the tote to securely contain all of your goodies.

For a lightning fast finish, pick a bold fabric to show off a wholecloth design.  Or pick two great solids to create a modern tote.
