The Barcelona Tote Bag and Purse is the trend setting tote. It’s a great size to wear over your shoulder and comes with a detachable purse to carry all your important goodies. Make it in any stable fabric, or why not jump on-board the current neoprene craze and use sailing rope for the handles. The Barcelona Tote can be fully lined, but if you’re using neoprene, lining is not required.

I love the Barcelona Tote bag, I had looked at friends who had bought ready made and when I saw this pattern, mine looks just as good and was very quick. I used neoprene and this was challenging to sew, once I used the walking foot it made all the difference
