I made this for my friend Nell for her birthday, I love, LOVE this fabric, from a range at Ikea, it’s a really good weight cotton, perfect for a tote. So as you have probably guessed this did not take 20 minutes, partly because I didn’t buy the webbing and made handles from the fabric and partly because things like this never take 20 minutes.

Anyway it’s really easy to make, you don’t need a pattern to be honest but if you like here it is: http://www.purlbee.com/the-twenty-minute-tote/, I’ve made the straps twice as long for an across the body look and I would make it bigger next time.

They are addictive though, must go to Ikea and buy reams of fabric and make more and more and more.
