The Fairhaven Tote Pattern

The Fairhaven Tote is a classy bag that features an attractive exterior front weave pattern, two interior slip pockets, one interior zipper pocket, and an interior key fob. It has an approximate 16 in handle drop. The pattern is written for non-fraying textiles such as faux leather, genuine leather, vinyl, or cork. Waterproof canvas, cotton, linen, or other similar materials can be used for the interior lining. If using cotton or linen for the lining, the pieces will need to be backed with woven interfacing like Classic Fuse, Wovenfuse, or other similar weight interfacing. In addition, a stabilizer is needed to give the bag firmness. Decovil Light or other similar weight stabilizer should be used to stabilize the exterior of the bag. Decovil Heavy, Peltex, or other similar weight stabilizer can be used to stabilize the base of the bag. Finished Size - 11 in W (base) / 15 in W (top) x 12.75 in H x 4 in D.
