Footloose Tote in Doctor Who Fabric

The Footloose Tote came out as a video course earlier this year, but it now is also being offered as a pdf pattern on ChrisW Designs site. So if you want to make this tote and don't need video instructions you can buy the pdf only. And if you are a subscriber to ChrisW Designs newsletter you can get 20% off new releases for a limited time; so sign up to get Christine's newsletter and be alerted to the new releases and get a discount code.

I just finished testing this tote yesterday and following the pdf was just as easy for me as the video course (I tested the Footloose video course too). This time I chose a Dr. Who fabric. (The other two totes I made was in a sailboat fabric and a Southwest fabric). 

I really love this style tote and it is perfect for showcasing a nice fabric. I opted not to add the add on adjustable strap, but if you want to add it, the instructions tell you how. The front features a vertical zipper pocket that you can add to the right or left side of the tote, which is a handy place for a phone or keys. Inside is a zippered pocket and a divided slip pocket. The bottom has purse feet to keep the bottom clean. You need minimum hardware to make this bag. I added strap ends and rivets to my strap, but you can also just sew the straps as per the instructions.

This bag measures 15” W X 13” H X 5” D

Dr. Who fabric with the swirling Tardis kind of looks like Van Gogh's Starry Night painting, doesn't it?

A divided slip pocket inside.

A zippered pocket and a special label.

I did add a magnetic snap, which is optional. As Dr. Who fans would say, "It's bigger on the inside".

Front zipper pocket.

Photographing it on different backgrounds for fun. Do you have a favorite background?

Bottom has purse feet (hard to see because they are antique brass. Also stabilizer is on the bottom and stitched. (You can stitch the bottom any way you desire. My first Footloose totes I stitched in wavy lines).

The Footloose Tote in Southwest Fabric Print

After I tested the first Footloose Tote for ChrisW Designs, I wanted to make a second tote, but add some extras to this tote and only add the carry handles and not the removeable shoulder strap. 

This fabric is a beautiful Southwest print and really is the perfect bag for someone who lives in the Southwest USA or just loves the Southwest. 

The bag features a vertical zipper pocket on the front of the bag for easy access to phone or keys, a divided slip pocket inside and a zipper pocket inside, (I added a magnetic snap closure to this bag), plus purse feet on the bottom to help keep it clean. I did add some rivets to the straps for a bit more bling for this bag too.

Just a pop of turquoise for the zipper adds a nice touch.

Back side of the bag.

Purse feet to help keep the bottom cleaner.

Nice and roomy inside.

The Footloose Tote in Sailboat Fabric

I tested this Footloose Tote bag for ChrisW Designs last year, but she wasn't ready to release the video course until now. So here is my Footloose Tote bag. I really love this bag! In fact, so much so that I made 2 of them (I'll share the second one with you in a day).

This bag has a nice shape to it and features a front vertical zipper pocket for easy access to phone or keys, carry handles and a removeable shoulder strap, plus on the inside of the bag is a divided slip pocket as well as a zippered pocket, and the bottom has purse feet. This is a great bag for a beginner and uses minimal hardware, but you can add or subtract hardware to your personal preference.

The bag measures 15" wide 13" high x  5"deep.

Inside features a divided slip pocket and a zippered pocket and lots of room.

The bottom has purse feet to help keep the bottom clean.

Side view with the shoulder strap removed.

Divided slip pocket inside bag.
