Introducing the Feature Me Everyday Tote by Andrie Designs (formerly two pretty poppets)! This gorgeous tote bag pattern is perfect for showing off that special feature fabric you’ve had stashed away since forever. This tote bag has both a pieced and non-pieced option for the outer panels, giving you lots of flexibility in how you design YOUR Feature Me tote.

The Feature Me Everyday Tote comes in two sizes – Coffee Date (small tote bag) and Shopaholic (large tote bag). Despite the piecing, it’s a relatively quick sew; you’ll be out featuring your favourite feature fabric in no time!

A simple magnetic snap is all that is needed to keep this tote bag closed, making it a perfect choice for those who are yet to attempt zippers or are just looking for a nice easy sew with minimal hardware. It has a single shoulder strap and large inner zipper pocket as well
