Want to take everything you need – everywhere you go? Well, this DIY project is for you: make your own tote bag! We’ve found you more than 30 terrific projects we know you’ll want to try.

Not all of these DIY projects are ideal for the brand-new beginner, but most of them are beginner friendly. If you are 110% new to sewing – try one of the totes that does not have lots of pockets or a zipper, before doing one that does have these features. One of the great things about sewing (or any DIY that you start), is once you get curious about how to make something, you start to pick up quickly how to do it. So have confidence that you’ll soon develop the skills to create any of the tote bags you see here.

You likely know that not every tote is ideal for every project you want to take somewhere. We have totes for the farmer’s market or your yoga class or even to bring your lunch with you and pop it into the freezer. Totes in every shape and size, so you can easily “grab and go” wherever you need to be.

DIY tote bags are not only fun to make but also super practical. This is a DIY gift that you will make and family and friends will use and enjoy often. So as you look through the projects, we are sure some of them will pop out as ideal for those you love who do yoga or belong to a book club.

So, let’s get started. Happy DIY-ing!
