DIY Sturdy Storage Totes FREE Sewing Pattern
Sew a quilted storage bag to keep your quilts, winter clothes, and your best fabrics organized all year long. You could also keep pillows, coats, and stuffed animals inside!

- one handbag zipper (YKK size 4.5) that is at least 41’’ long and has 2 slides.*
- 1/4 yd 12 gauge vinyl
