Tote Bag
T O T E B A G
@shirleyannlp T O T E B A G This tote bag was started and half way through being done several years ago. I came across it this week when doing a bit of housekeeping. It was a bag I put down because of disappointing stitches, the fabric is an artificial leather which requires a heavy duty machine to make better stitches. I tried the best that I could with what I had. This part of the bag is the lining of the pattern, the actual bag portion I think might have been thrown away because it became very sticky with melted velcro on it. So, today I worked with what was left and turned the lining of the inside to be the outer and cut up a old curtain and used it as a plain lining. The original pattern is Kwik Sew Pattern 3249 Bags and Cases Hoping to attempt this bag again soon, but probably not with this type of fabric, unless I have a Heavy Duty Sewing Machine. Although it has stitches looking blundered the pattern is very nice pattern, but because it is designed for Woven Fabrics as Cotton, Cotton types, decorator fabrics, duck cloth, denim, twill. Maybe the artificial leather was too much for the pattern. However, its turned out not too bad and the decorative stitches did not turn out too bad either. All in all there is plenty of room to improve on. You are welcome to join my Fan Club with the Hearts Me. When on Live, I most graciously thank you to receiving the coins too.

Cut four pieces of fabric at 14 1/2 inches by 10 inches.

Take the other two pieces and stitch also around the circumference of the two pieces with right sides together. Leaving the top open as well, but at the bottom leave a gap for pulling through the bag inside out.
Take both and serge all seams, but remember the gap to leave open.
Press, and trim the corners for points.

Perfect! 🌸 The photos you shared are wonderful for a blog post tutorial or showcase on making fabric laptop and tablet sleeves. Since your readers enjoy cozy, handmade sewing content, I can help you draft a blog post in your “Sewing and Quilting” style. Here’s a suggested outline and cozy write-up you could use (you can tweak it to your voice):
Sewing & Quilting: Handmade Laptop & Tablet Bags
There’s something extra special about creating your own fabric accessories – not only do they protect your devices, but they also let you carry a little piece of handmade cheer wherever you go. ✂️💜
Recently, I stitched up these padded laptop and tablet bags using a bright and fun Easter egg print fabric. The cheerful design makes them perfect for springtime, and the quilted padding keeps the devices safe and snug.
What You’ll Need
-
Cotton fabric (your choice of print – seasonal, floral, or even plain for a classic look)
-
Batting or fusible fleece for padding
-
Lining fabric
-
Sewing machine, thread, scissors, and pins
-
Measuring tape
Step-by-Step
-
Measure your device – laptop or tablet – then add about 1 inch on each side for seam allowance and padding.
-
Cut your pieces – outer fabric, lining, and batting.
-
Quilt the outer fabric and batting together for sturdiness.
-
Sew the bag panels right sides together, leaving the top open.
-
Add the lining – stitch around and turn inside out.
-
Finish the top edge neatly by folding over and topstitching.
And just like that, you’ve got a custom, quilted laptop or tablet bag! 🎉
Variations
-
Add a button or Velcro closure for extra security.
-
Sew in a pocket for cords or pens.
-
Choose different fabrics for the seasons (florals for summer, cozy plaids for winter).
Here are the two I made – one for a tablet, one for a laptop:
(Insert your photos here – the two standing in front of the sewing machine look especially nice!)

Patchwork Quilted Tote Bag
Scraps of fabric cut up in pieces of approximately 3 inches by 3 inches of fabric and 3 inches by 2 inches of fabric. Making in total about 56 squares of fabric. This particular bag has approximately 40 3 inches by 3 inches and 16 3 inches by 2 inches.
The squares are then stitched together at a 1/4 inch seam allowances matching accordingly. Rolls made up of approximately 4 and 5 in a strip and the strips then stitched together.
Once sewed you should have 2 pieces of fabric of approximately 14 1/2 inches by 10 inches. Cut out 2 pieces of batting to be attached to each piece of fabric. Pin in place and quilt to your desired design.
Prepare lining of 14 1/2 inches by 10 inches. Sew each side at 1/2 inch seam allowance, be sure to sure a little opening on one side for pulling the bag out. Stitch bottom as well as 1/2 inch seam allowance.
Prepare the 2 fabric pieces too with stitching each side at 1/2 seam allowance and the bottom at 1/2 inch seam allowance.
With a ruler on the Fabric Pieces and the lining draw a 2 inch square in each corner and cut out. This will help form the boxing of the bag. Box corners by bringing together and stitch.
Take lining and bag with the rights sides together, arrange straps in place and stitch the top 1/2 inch around the top.
Insert your hand inside the bag to locate the side with the hole left open and not sewed up. Pull the bag through the hole accordingly and form the bag. Press and top stitch.
Position velcro strips and snaps.
Options to finishing seams:
Serge
Overlock
Zigzag
Pinking Shears

Quick Blog Summary: Handmade Patchwork Tote
I spent an evening at my sewing machine turning colorful scraps into a cheerful patchwork tote. Using my Singer machine and a mix of floral, gingham, and solid cottons, I pieced small squares into a bright front panel, quilted the layers, and added sturdy white webbing straps. The result is a practical, handmade bag full of personality—perfect for errands, craft supplies, or gifting to someone who appreciates upcycled, lovingly sewn items.
- Project: Small patchwork tote bag
- Tools: Singer sewing machine, quilting ruler/mat, basic sewing supplies
- Materials: Assorted cotton scraps (florals, checks, solids), batting, lining fabric, white webbing straps, thread
- Techniques used: Piecing patchwork squares, quilting layers, topstitching, attaching straps
- Highlights: Bright, scrappy color palette; sturdy construction; great scrap-busting project
- Perfect for: Beginners wanting a quick quilting project, eco-friendly gift ideas, craft fair inventory
Want a short how-to or pattern details to include in the post (measurements, step-by-step, or printable pattern)?
