The No Waste Tote does what it says on the tin! Using 1/2m of outer and 3/4m of lining fabric there is little to no waste at the end as we use every inch to make this bag.
The clever pattern pieces make up each part to create a front zipper pocket, an inside slip pocket, a smaller slip pocket and 3 pen slots, a water bottle holder and hidden small pocket and even the handles!
The outer side pockets are great for water bottles or an umbrella. Please note that due to how this is cut out you will want to use non-directional fabric – definitely for the lining. However for the outer fabric, you can flip the side pockets and have the lining on the outside which stops this issue.
