This medium-size tote has lots of room for storage thanks to the depth of the boxed corners. The addition of pockets makes this bag very functional for students, professionals, light travel, or everyday use. The Beginner Tote has been designed with similar steps as the Quilted Pouches so you become more comfortable with the process. With this project, build skills in fabric preparation, creating a front zipper pocket, attaching handles, easily installing a zipper, assembling the bag, and adding optional embellishments.

Stella H. ★★★★★

The deep boxed corners on this tote are perfect—I can fit my laptop, lunch, and a book without it feeling cramped. The inner pockets keep my keys and phone from getting lost at the bottom. This kit made my first bag-building project feel genuinely rewarding.

William ★★★★★

The inner pockets are plenty deep for my laptop and water bottle, and the boxed corners make it stand up on its own while I dig around. I’ve already used it for three commutes and a weekend trip, and everything stays organized without feeling bulky.

Samuel ★★★★☆

I was a little intimidated by the boxed corners at first, but the instructions made them surprisingly easy to finish. The finished tote is roomier than I expected and the pockets are a huge help for keeping small things organized.
