In today’s tutorial, I will show you how to make this adorable Erica’s Quilty Mini-Weekend Tote Bag! It’s super cute, and is the perfect companion to the Full-Size Weekend Tote Bag too!
This bag finishes at 13″ x 11″ x 5″ and is the perfect size for a purse, carry-on, or project bag!
It also features a cute ribbon closure, an inside pocket, and four outside pockets to store extra goodies. And of course, we added some fun decorative ribbon, cross-hatch quilting, and colorful binding to give it a little extra pop of color.


So, if you’re looking for a great weekend tote, this one is perfect! Grab some fun fabric, the PDF Pattern, and let’s get started sewing shall we?
