Truffle Tote ~ PDF Pattern
$10.99
This ADVANCED BEGINNER TO INTERMEDIATE bag is the perfect tote to take on travel or carry for business. At 16″ wide, Truffle will fit magazines, most laptops and file folders. The ingenious center divider is anchored on all 3 sides so nothing will go sliding where it doesn’t belong.
Truffle boasts 7 separate locations to store everything you need. With a hidden zipper pocket, front snap pocket and slip pockets, organization is a snap! The detachable crossbody strap has the added detail of snaps for the connectors to keep them secure when the strap is not in use. The connectors then become a handy source for your keys or a babies binky.

A favorite feature of this bag is the size and space to feature a large scale print, embroidery, paper piecing or patchwork. So much room to really make a splash.
