About the pattern
Everyday is a straightforward lined tote: two outer panels, two lining panels, an inside pocket and two strong straps that sit comfortably on the shoulder. All the raw edges are hidden inside the lining, so it looks tidy inside and out.
The finished bag is 40 × 42 cm with a 27 cm handle drop, large enough for a laptop sleeve, shopping or a day out.
