Tote Essentials in Style with This Versatile Bag
| April 17, 2026 | Quilted Bags
It’s Great for Showing Off Beautiful Prints!
This versatile bag is both attractive and functional. Use it as a handbag or add straps to the back for a backpack. Instructions are also available to turn it into a crossbody bag.
Choose a beautiful combination of prints and add sashiko-style hand-stitching to the flap for a wonderful finishing touch. Or omit that stitching and let the fabric shine.
While the bag is on the small side, it still holds a lot. It is fully lined with both an open pocket and a zippered one inside.
Designer Diana from Banjoflannel provides instructions for the 9″ x 7.5″ x 4″ bag.
