The Colleen Tote is a classic semi-structured bag with clean lines perfect for everyday use. With two different views this multi-purpose tote can be changed up to show off large scale prints or you can add interest with a contrasting bottom and handles. You will learn how to make rolled handles, create an in-panel zipper pocket, work with different fabrics, all while building your confidence. In the end, you’ll have a new go-to accessory to wear with pride!
Features: The interior band was designed to help support many different types of handles, including leather. There is a large zipper pocket to stowaway the essentials and two easy access slip pockets to hold a cell phone or chapstick. The key fob was designed not only to manage keys, but the open loop is left open as a hook for sunglasses.

Are the vinyls, jelly and TPU domestic machine friendly?
On each listing we provide how thick these vinyls approximately will be. They can work on most domestic machines, with the correct feet we recommend a teflon or walking foot on your sewing machine. You may need to adjust your tension on the machine. We also recommend using a bulky seam aid / hump jumper which we sell here
Canvas Cotton-Linen Fabrics
Fabrics which are woven from natural fibres have characteristics and other irregularities in the yarns which are features and not therefore treated as weaving faults.
Custom Printed Bases:
We use a combination of stock images from manufacturers and our own photographs. We have tried our best to represent the colours as accurately as possible. However, we can't guarantee an exact match to the fabrics shown as colours vary on different screens and devices. Therefore fabrics may look different upon arrival. When ordering custom printed fabric, please understand it could vary slightly on different fabric bases vs digital images.
Packaging
We try to use eco friendly mail bags and cardboard boxes. The packaging we use to post your orders is mostly fully recyclable or compostable and we encourage you reuse the packaging your Little Stitcher Sews order arrives in.
