Wool + Wax Tote PDF Pattern - Noodlehead

I’m excited to share today that my Wool + Wax Tote that was included in the second issue of Making magazine is now available as a stand alone PDF pattern. It was almost a year ago that I made a version of the tote for my mom and I’m so happy that I get to share the pattern finally.

I tend to talk about making useful things a lot around here. This tote is definitely at the top of that list. You can’t really beat a classic tote with handy pockets. These of course are great for gifting and perfect for customizing to your needs. I can’t wait to see what you make.

Of course don’t let the name trick you, I give several other suggestions for materials that will work great for this classic tote. My rule of thumb for making bags is that if you want a sturdy and durable tote, start with sturdy and durable fabrics. Cork would also be a great fabric to try for the contrast bottom! I’ve got my first cork purchase just waiting for me to give it a try.

Included in the pattern are all my tips for working with waxed canvas (which is what I recommend for the contrast bottom), just like the Explorer Tote, it makes for such a great bag! The waxed canvas is so durable and beautiful, I think you’ll love it! If you haven’t tried some already you should!

    Oh man! I just bought some wool felt and faux leather that I’ve been wanting to make into a tote! This is happening!!!! (atho probably after Lent)

    Hey Anna, What length straps do you suggest for this bag?

  6. Jill Wilhelm says:

    Hi Anna! I want to purchase the Wax and Wool pattern. Is it only in a PDF? Thank you! Jill

      Hi Jill, I do have it in print form. It’s part of three patterns included in my booklet, Everyday Essentials: https://noodle-head.com/collections/books/products/everydayessentials. Also, there aren’t any pattern pieces/templates for the Wool + Wax since it’s made up of all rectangles, not sure if that might help answer your question as well. Let me know if you have further questions. 🙂
