This is a handy tote bag pattern, with boxed corners to give it some extra width. It is intentionally simple, without zips or buttonhole fastenings, however you can add these to your project if you wish. You can simplify it further by omitting the boxed corners. The bag has been designed to fit A4 folders, laptops and is also perfect for popping out to the shops.
