Create a Striking Bag for Everyday Use

It Will Shine In Your Favorite Colors!
A classic Sawtooth Star block shines on this eye-catching tote bag. The bag is sturdy, practical, and satisfying to make.
Solid colors create a strong graphic design, although the bag will be charming when given a softer look with prints. A high-contrast palette creates the most impact.
The bag is simple to make and perfect for confident beginners. Excellent instructions walk you through every step.
Designer Kim Exshaw’s completed bag measures 16″ W × 13½″ H × 2½″ D.
