Fabric and Vinyl Tote Free Sewing Tutorial
You can sew a see though bag with this easy and free sewing pattern. It’s a great way to use beautiful cotton fabric plus easy to find clear vinyl and make a one of a kind (and super useful) tote!
This bag is approximately 10’’ tall and 16’’ wide. It features a roomy zippered interior plus 2 exterior pockets (approximately 5’’ x 6’’) that are also see through so you will be able to find anything you need quickly.

- 1/4 yard cotton fabric for the bag bottom exterior
- 1/4 yard cotton fabric for the bag bottom lining
- 1/4 yard cotton fabric for the straps*
- 1/4 yard cotton fabric for the binding pieces (or use scraps leftover from the other fat quarters as I did)
