Got some Jelly Roll Strips left over from your quilting project? How about making this charming slouch tote that is so much fun and pretty simple to make.
The finished measurement of this bag when lays flat is about 16" (widest point)x 11" although when you wear it, the center is going to collapse, hence gives you that attractive slouchy look. I used cotton batting for this bag, although other type of interfacing such as fusible fleece, thermolam, or felt fabric will work great as well.
This bag comes with 4 interior pockets (3 slip pockets and 1 zipper pocket), adjustable strap, and magnetic snap closure.
For this project I use these lovely Jelly Roll Strips by French General from Moda Fabrics.
From each Jelly Roll fabric, you will need to cut 10" x 2.5" (2x) strips and 5" x 2.5 (4x) strips
Below is the lay out of the front and back exterior shells
You can watch the full tutorial on my Youtube channel for the detailed patchwork piecing and the construction of the bag.
