Embrace cozy fall style with the Plaid Flannel Fall Tote Bag, a free sewing tutorial from Orange Bettie. Crafted from plaid flannel and accented with faux leather rouleaux handles, this generous 22″ × 13.5″ tote is roomy enough for a laptop, market haul, or daily essentials.
The side pockets are bias-cut for a subtle design contrast and wrap slightly toward the front, making them both stylish and functional. Inside, there’s a row of patch pockets – also deep and generous sized – that are the perfect size for holding a phone, keys, even a power cord or mouse for a laptop. It's a spacious bag, measuring 22 inches in width and 13.5 inches in height, with a flat boxed bottom to accommodate plenty of items. The free sewing tutorial also includes step-by-step instructions for making the unique corded handles from vinyl and cotton cording—no store-bought straps required!
Designed to be sewn in just a couple of afternoons, this project blends rustic texture with polished details for a warm, sophisticated fall accessory.
