Jo takes through step-by-step the process of making this handy craft tote.


This project tote was designed by Amy Hutton of BedHogShop. This tote makes the perfect project bag for crafts. The pattern includes two exterior designs to choose from and there's loads of pockets for your crochet or knitting tools. A yarn feeder and ring loop are also included. Of course, you can easily adjust the pockets to your needs and use it as a general tote bag, or it also makes a pretty good beach bag! We recommend this as a beginner pattern.
Two long interior slip pockets that are divided into smaller pockets for your crochet hooks and other craft supplies. The size of these pockets can easily be adjusted to your needs.
Cotton is our favourite fabric for making this bag. Sturdier fabrics such as leather, flexible vinyl and cork are good for the bottom section of the horizontal style, or the centre of the vertical style, but aren’t recommended for the entire top section of the bag as you want it to easily fold down when using the bag for crafts.
12″ tall x 12-17″ wide x 6″ deep (30cm x 30-43cm x 15cm). The width is narrower at the bottom and wider at the top
  • Interior pockets designed for crafts such as crochet and knitting
  • Zip closure to keep the contents secure
  • Two exterior design choices included
  • Folds down for easy access when in use
  • Perfect for a project bag
