Looking for a basic tote bag pattern

[SoylentClean]

Looking to make something a bit like this but would like a free pattern if possible. www.etsy.com/listing/66575818/childs-tote-bag-pattern-pdf-sewing

I have found this one emmigraceandme.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/simple-and-quick-tote-bag-a-free-sewing-pdf-pattern/ but I don't quite understand her instructions

If anyone can point me in the direction of a foolproof pattern (the fool being me!) I'd be very grateful. Thanks

My first ever tote I made I followed this tutorial. It's reversible but ever so easy!

Pattern looks to me like two oblong pieces made into a bag, then with the bag inside out, line up the seam at the bottom of the bag with the one at the side of the bag, so you are lookin at a pointed shape, point towards the top. sew accross this corner, so that it removes roughly an equal triangle shape when you cut off the spare fabric. This gives the bag more shape, eg it will probably stand up with stuff in it. I don't know if this is any more understandable than what she has said in her instructions. PM me if I can confuse help you further if you like....

I've not used this particular tutorial but the ones listed on sewmamasew are normally easy to follow

Thanks all, I think I'll go for the reversible one prettypirate linked to. Hope it turns out ok!!

If it helps I did a tutorial earlier in the year... would be great to see your bag when you are finished :)
