Tiny Tote

August 20, 2024 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

Unveil the magic of organization with our latest creation, the Tiny Tote! This charming zippered pouch is your new go-to for keeping those little essentials in check, be it pencils for the budding artist, makeup for the on-the-go beauty enthusiast, or the precious sewing bits and bobs that you just can’t do without. Lovingly stitched together from a selection of contrasting fabrics and finished with handy handles, the Tiny Tote isn’t just a bag—it’s a statement of style and practicality. 

Do you have children or grandchildren heading back to school? The Tiny Tote makes a fun pencil pouch and can be customised to suit your child. You can use a strip of novelty fabric in the middle of the tote to suit your child’s interests.

These little Tiny Tote zippered pouches are so much fun to make. You simply need 3 coordinating fabrics, fusible wadding, and an 8-inch zipper. I used predominantly brightly coloured fabrics from Ruby Star Society for this trio. So colourful and fun!

The Tiny Tote makes an ideal makeup bag to stash in your work bag or car so you always have the essentials close to hand.

Tiny Tote makes a fun pencil pouch – perfect for journalling or for students.

Use the Tiny Tote to get your sewing essentials close to hand when you attend a class or retreat. Perfect for storing a few essential tools and supplies.

The Tiny Tote Sewing Pattern is available in our Pattern Store and Etsy Shop for immediate download. Be warned, it is hard to stop at one!
