Project Tote Tutorial This is a tutorial for how to make a large tote with short webbing handles. the project tote measures 20″ wide x 16″ tall x 8″ deep and holds a lot. the pattern uses 4″ finished squares (cut at 4.5″) and can easily be adapted for other size squares. with just a little math to reduce or enlarge the lining pieces for the new size squares. Cut 2 of your inner fabric using that template. sew around the outside place right sides together for your inner fabric (what you just cut) and sew the two inner pieces together around both sides and the bottom, leaving the top open. (about a 1 2 inch seam is perfect here.)next, do the same with your outer pieces.
