The Stargazer Tote - PDF Sewing pattern

The Stargazer is a larger tote (15” W x 10.5” H x 4.5” D) with 2 carrying handles and a removable cross body strap. The pattern's hardware kit comes with 2 handle attachment options: using diamond strap anchors or vinyl connectors. The bag pictured above shows the vinyl connectors.

The Stargazer has a cut out style slip pocket on both sides of the exterior, perfect for your phone and keys. 

It has gusseted sides and some lovely pleats along the bottom to give it some personality! The cut out pockets and side seams are accented with piping. 

For the bag's interior, the pattern includes instructions for a zippered main closure, 2 slip pockets and 1 zippered pocket. 

Tester Michelle Tripp from Barabooboo Designs also wrote a tutorial to turn the Stargazer into a grommet handle clutch!

If you haven't purchased your hardware kit yet, you can order one from a hardware supplier in your country.
