Tote Bag Patterns

Tote Bag Patterns

Listen, we totes get it. It’s definitely easier to just buy a premade tote. But you know what? It isn’t nearly as satisfying as it is to choose your own tote bag pattern and stitch it up with your favorite colors and prints! Missouri Star has bag patterns in a variety of styles and sizes so you can make a bag that will fit your individual needs and tastes.

But how do you decide which bag is right for you? Start with what you know you need. Do you need something small for everyday use, or do you need something big and spacious? Do you need a lot of pockets? Do you prefer a zipper closure or a snap closure, or perhaps no closure at all? What kind of straps do you prefer? You should consider all of these questions when browsing our tote bag sewing patterns. The filters can help you narrow it down, then just scroll until you find a design that intrigues you.

And if you’re already a bag maker, you might know exactly what you’re looking for. Our regular bag making customers are quite fond of the Sallie Tomato patterns. Sallie Tomato is a stylish brand where makers can experiment with sewing with leather, cork, and a variety of bag hardware. Just take a look at our Sallie Tomato bags! We’ve worked closely with designer Jessica Barrera to bring our customers insightful sew-alongs and exclusive bag patterns.

So whether you’re a novice bag maker or an expert, we have something we know you’ll love!
