The Road Tripster Tote (RTT) is the perfect tote to take on your travels! It was designed with road tripping in mind: large enough to hold everything you need, yet sized so that it easily fits by your feet and out of the way. It's great for in your car or as a carry on. This tote has it all! There are internal and external slip pockets, zipper pockets (including a full-panel size zip pocket), a water bottle pocket (which can also hold sunscreen!), a padded tablet sleeve, and clips to hold your keys or wallet (perfect for clipping an Essential Wallet Clutch to).
This pattern is suitable for a domestic machine and is beginner-friendly. This PDF pattern download comes with written instructions for each step along with coordinating photos. Full-size pattern template pieces are also included, however it's not necessary to print them as all measurements are included in the cutting chart. You can use cotton, canvas, cork, or vinyl. The options are only limited to your imagination (and you're machine's ability) :)
