Sew the Spirit Tote Bag – Free Sewing Tutorial

Whether you’re a quilting newbie or a crafty pro, Teresa Down Under’s Spirit Tote Bag tutorial from offers a color‑filled sewing adventure using charm‑pack squares. A beginner-friendly sewing project made using 16 charm squares (5" x 5") and basic quilting techniques.


Spirit Tote Bag features:


  • A patchwork front and back made from charm squares

  • A gathered ruffle strip for decorative flair

  • A contrasting fabric base

  • Lined interior with a pocket and a key holder ribbon

  • Fabric handles with optional petal-style ends

  • A fabric loop and button closure for a finished look


The bag is quilted for structure, fully lined, and includes boxed corners for depth. It's a fun and quick project ideal for using up fabric scraps or showcasing your favorite charm pack. I love the way the handles are attached to this Spirit Tote Bag.
