Evelina Tote PDF Sewing Pattern
This is a project suitable for intermediate or enthusiastic beginner bag makers. Evelina is a tote approximately 12” (30.5cm) in height, 14” (35.5cm)) in width, with a depth of approximately 2” (5cm). Evelina has options for an exterior slip or slip&zip pocket and interior zip pocket, and a magnetic snap closure. Hardware requirements include zippers/pulls for the exterior and interior pockets, plus the magnetic snap closure and rivets, all of which are optional.
Evelina can be made in a variety of fabric bases, including woven cotton, canvas and vinyl depending on the capabilities of your machine.
I recommend interfacing all woven and canvas exterior pieces in full using a lightweight woven interfacing. I also recommend using a fusible foam or fleece on exteriors made in these bases for additional structure. Evelina can also be made with a clear vinyl exterior slip pocket, and instructions for this are also included.
