A tote that actually looks polished.
The Fira Tote is a structured bag pattern in three sizes, and it’s the kind of tote people will ask you about. The clean panel seam. The box bottom that helps it stand upright beautifully. The polished shape that makes even simple fabrics look elevated.
It’s not a basic floppy tote. But it’s still fun to sew.
Built with a simple panel construction, the Fira gives you that clean, put-together look without complicated techniques. Use canvas for a sturdy everyday bag, water-resistant fabric for travel, or your favorite cotton print with interfacing for something more personal. Mix fabrics, piece together your stash, make the straps match or contrast — this pattern is your canvas.
Sew one for errands. Make another as a gift. Keep a third by your sewing table. You’ll want to make it in every fabric you own.
