My Explorer Tote


Yet another Noodlehead pattern for the win!

Did I need this bag? 

Not really. But it was great fun to make and I know I will put it to good use. I joined a couple of friends one afternoon to make our Explorer Totes and we had a blast.


Adding a zipper was optional - you could also go with a magnetic snap. The pattern instructions for adding a zipper were really good and I will likely refer to them when adding a zipper to a different pattern.


The back of the bag has two nice large pockets.

The fabric print is from a Zen Chic line Bluish. I used Soft & Stable and this turn lock. The lining was some scraps from (I think) an Art Gallery fabric.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  1. You can never go wrong with big pockets! That's really good to know that these zipper instructions were so helpful. I'll bookmark your post so I can go buy the pattern should I ever need to tackle one. Thanks for linking up with Favorite Finish.
