The Modern Sewing Co - Day Tote Pattern
The Day Tote is the perfect sized bag for all of your needs whether it’s for groceries, the beach, the gym or work. We were inspired by the ‘everyday tote - the workhorse of the bag department. We wanted to elevate this concept and create something more beautiful and functional than the standard tote.
The design features of the Day Tote include a roomy interior with side panels, a base panel, a total of four handy pockets including a laptop pocket for devices or books. Decorative piping not only adds a pop of colour but helps the bag retain its structure and the dual handles look stylish as well as making the bag comfortable and user friendly.

Fabric Suggestions:
The design options for The Day Tote are endless - you can choose different fabrics for different seasons and create a completely unique look each time.
Main Fabric:
We recommend choosing a sturdy fabric for your main fabric. Suitable fabrics include cotton canvas or waxed cotton with a weight of around 9-13OZ / 300-450GSM.
Lining:
We recommend choosing a relatively sturdy lining to help give the bag shape - cotton canvas is a good option with a weight of around 7-10OZ / 250-350GSM. Your lining will be very visible when using the bag so choose a colour that compliments the main fabric.
Piping:
A mid/light weight cotton or linen is recommended for the piping to help reduce the bulky seam allowances. You can also think about introducing a pop of colour through your piping choice!
