Firefly Tote

This is a more advanced bag pattern (but also one of the simpler Noodlehead patterns) so it is a good starting point for trying a bag pattern.

Level – Advanced beginner to Intermediate
Time: 6-8 sessions

Supplies:

Firefly Tote Pattern available at Firecracker Fabrics

You may choose to make either size.  Featured in our pic is the Tote (which is the larger) size.  Please check the supply list listed on Firecrackers website when you view the back of the envelope and choose your supplies based on the size you choose.  Any questions let me know!

Firecracker has so many amazing canvas fabric choices, you will find it hard to decide which to use!

**We suggest choosing a canvas fabric for the exterior and a quilting cotton in print or solid for the interior.  However, if you are okay with a softer and less structured bag you can use quilting cotton for exterior as well.

Please bring the required yardage based on the size you choose for interior, exterior, accent, interfacings (SF101 and med weight interfacing), cotton webbing and drawstring cord.

SF101 is a more expensive but very high quality interfacing.  Or for a less expensive option go with Heat n bond medium weight non-woven fusible interfacing.

You will also need a spool of all purpose polyester thread

No Rivets necessary

Zipper must be the correct size if choosing metal.  If plastic it can be longer.  And for a metal look that isn’t really metal choose zipper by the yard!  Then you can make lots of bags!
