And not just one — we give you enough supplies to make two tote bags for all your errands and storage needs. This is a fantastic beginner sewing project. So if you’re new to sewing, or if you want a fun, easy project to work on, consider practicing and honing your sewing skills with this kit. You can never have too many tote bags, right?

At Sailrite^®, we use only the best materials for our kits. That’s why this tote bag kit includes top-quality Sunbrella Marine Grade fabric. Sunbrella is well-known for being a leader in the marine textile industry. Their solution-dyed acrylic fabric is long-lasting and won’t fade in the sun. It’s UV, water and mildew resistant, as well as breathable and easy to clean. And with dozens of standard Sunbrella colors to choose from in the kit, you can sew a tote bag in your favorite color.

Along with Sunbrella Marine Grade fabric, the kits include Tex 70 UV polyester thread, webbing for the straps, basting tape to keep layers together while sewing, and binding to finish raw edges for a great-looking tote bag that people will think came from a store! Lastly, we include two forms of instructions to accommodate everyone’s preferred learning style. The kit includes written instructions in detailed, easy-to-understand steps with helpful photos. For those who are visual learners, we’ve made a free video tutorial for you to watch and follow along with as you sew your tote bags.
