Marg Tote PDF Sewing Pattern

The Marg Tote PDF sewing pattern is a large, structured tote bag perfect as a knitting project bag, crochet project bag, or roomy craft bag for makers who want a beautiful, functional carryall.  It’s named after my Grandma Margaret—who taught me to crochet, loved her family fiercely, and always had something to keep her busy.

Marg is timeless, practical, and holds more than just your supplies—she carries memories. A soft tribute to the woman who did it all, this tote is here for the modern maker who wears a lot of hats.  Whether you’re heading to a sewing class, packing a knitting project, or tossing in snacks for the park, Marg’s got you.  Ideal for sewing your own large tote bag, knitting tote, crochet project bag, or spacious handmade craft bag.
