The Cora Tote is a sewing pattern for a practical everyday tote with a secure zipper closure that's easy and enjoyable to sew. Clean panel lines, a roomy interior, and thoughtful details come together to create a tote that's both beautiful and functional.
The zipper keeps your belongings secure, while the front pocket keeps small essentials within easy reach. Customize it with an optional INNER POCKET for extra organization, or add the optional STRAP ACCENT to create a coordinated look with your favorite fabrics. Prefer something simpler?
