The Irene tote bag is a large size tote bag, with lovely patchwork design, and several internal and external pockets.
This is a great bag for your a day trip, road trip, market day, or casual daily errands. The patchwork itself is made out of half square triangles that were extracted from charm packs (5" squares). I have put together the pattern for the front exterior shell on pdf format that you may download below : DOWNLOAD THE FRONT EXTERIOR PATCHWORK DIAGRAM :
