Expanding Nautical Tote Bag Pattern
By: Mayra Cecilia from So Sew Easy
Expanding Nautical Tote Bag Pattern
"Want to keep everything ship-shape as you go to the beach or the pool? This handy tote bag has lots of great features and optional extras to keep your organised. It also has a handy expanding feature to keep the bag trim when you don’t carry much, and expand it out when you have enough ‘stuff' for the kids too. With the use of really cool hardware and handles, this bag looks anything but home-made. Use a nautical fabric in red, white, and blue and big rope handles to be on-trend, or mix it up with cool prints of your choice for an everyday tote that is sure to bring admiring comments from all your friends."
