Sew a side pocket basket — a structured, fully lined tote with practical side pockets and a shape that holds itself beautifully.
The basket silhouette gives this bag its character: upright, roomy, and surprisingly easy to make. The side pockets are perfect for a water bottle, sunglasses, or anything you need to grab on the go. Fully lined, in two generous sizes. A beginner-friendly make that looks anything but basic.

• Full step-by-step photo sewing tutorial
• YouTube video tutorial: youtu.be/PGvhg9WyD-E
• Fabric suggestions, cutting layout, and sizing notes

Finished sizes:
• Small: 27 × 35 cm (10.6" × 13.8")
• Large: 36 × 46 cm (14.2" × 18.1")
