The Sidekick Tote
Michelle Burke
I am very excited about the release of my next pattern tomorrow! In my last blog post I revealed some of the details of the Megan Travel Tote, the larger of the two tote bags that can be made from my next pattern. The Sidekick Tote is the smaller version of the Megan Travel Tote. Paula Faes, one of my pattern testers, made her Sidekick tote from ticking, giving it a very classic feel.
I love the navy webbing that Paula used for the straps of her Sidekick Tote.
The Sidekick Tote boasts all the same great features that the Megan Travel Tote has - 12 pockets, a top zipper closure, a reinforced bag bottom, and strap pads. I love how Paula added some fancy stitching and other accents to the interior pockets of her tote.
Paula added a beautiful line of accent stitching to her padded tablet pocket. You can also see a little bit of the expandable slip pockets on the sides of the inside of the tote in this picture.
While the Megan Travel Tote is perfect for a weekend getaway, the Sidekick Tote is perfect for everyday use. Although the Sidekick Tote travels too (I use it to bring my work with me when I travel), it also works well as an everyday shoulder tote, a work tote, or a craft/hobby tote.
The three interior slip pockets are easy to see with the accents that Paula added to her Sidekick Tote.
File folders fit well in the Sidekick Tote and all the pockets help keep everything nicely organized, whether it is work related, kid related, or your own items, everything will have its place in this tote.
This tote is stylish and ready for a day of adventure!
The Sidekick Tote got its name because it is the perfect tote to help any "Super Woman" stay organized with style everyday!
