Nest Egg Tote Pattern

For hands-free hauling—and a bit of flair.

The Nest Egg Tote is your just-right sidekick: compact, cleverly organized, and ready to go wherever your making spirit takes you. Designed as a cross-body bag, it's equally perfect as a purse or a portable sewing case—so much so that you'll probably want to make more than one.
