The painters tote is the ultimate carry-all for on the move. With eight pockets, it’s built for storage, perfect for organising supplies, or whatever else you need to get through the day. The layered construction makes it ideal for playing with colour, pattern, and contrast fabrics. It’s fully lined, with straps to sit comfortably over the shoulder, and comes together as a simple, satisfying sew. Try it in canvas, denim, or cotton twill for a tote that’s ready for everyday use.

This was the first time I bought and printed a pattern from online. Printing, cutting out and taping together the 23 pieces was a bit of a challange. Once done, the process of sewing the bag was much smoother. I’m pleased with the final product and would happily make another.
Absolutely love it, have not made it up yet but will be perfect for what I need.
I love this bag! It's a great size with loads of handy pockets. A great scrap buster too. I'll definitely make more.
This was a great make, and pretty easy to sew together and its a big bag! I liked the layer technique for the pockets and that you can use up different fabric. Need to make more!
I absolutely loved making this tote bag! The pattern was incredibly well-written, with clear instructions and helpful illustrations that made it easy to follow. I appreciated the thoughtful construction details and the practical design. The finished bag turned out beautifully—sturdy, roomy, and stylish! Highly recommend this pattern to anyone looking for a fun and functional sewing project.
