Today’s feature is from Weekend Designer with a tutorial for this tote–The Weekender:

Weekender Tote Project By wkdesigner.wordpress.com

So this weekend will have you jetting off to the coast for sun & surf? For a weekend excursion you need a quick trip bag. Forget the luggage (too bulky); you need a versatile tote made specifically to carry all your belongings from wallet to swimtrunks for a quick weekend getaway.

Here is a fun choice in a cotton waxcloth outer with leatherette base and trim, perfect for the do-it-yourselfer, similar to the Lex Trip Bag from PROPERTY OF.

Made with upholstery weight fabric and some leatherette trim, this bag looks impressive yet is simple enough in design that even beginner sewers can manage to whip one up (it’s basically all straight lines). The bag dimensions are approximately 18″ x 8″ x 17″ [45cm x 20.5cm x 43cm], should be ok to use as a carryon for most airlines.

Please visit the site above for all the project details, nice job!
