I have been waiting to share this one with you.
These panel tote bags are one of those projects that look impressive but are genuinely simple to put together. Everything you need, the front, the back, the straps, even a pocket, comes printed right on the panel. You cut, you sew, you carry it out the door.
In this tutorial, we walk through both versions step by step:
- The FIFA World Cup 26 tote, perfect for game days, errands, or just showing your excitement for the tournament coming to North America this summer
- The America 250 tote, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with a design that feels both patriotic and timeless
- Both a lined and unlined version, so you can choose the finish that works best for how you plan to use the bag
The panels are printed on canvas, which has a beautiful weight to it but does fray easily. We cover how to handle that, how to get clean edges, and a few tricks that will make the whole process smoother.
Whether you are making one for yourself, as a gift, or as a quick project between bigger quilts, this is a satisfying afternoon at the machine.
