Away Tote

Modern Sewing Co.

The Away Tote is a generously sized weekend bag inspired by the smaller Day Tote, with extra capacity for heavier loads. Its roomy interior narrows slightly toward the top and is sized with cabin luggage in mind.

Two handle lengths, spacious internal pockets and an optional zip-up lid make it practical for travel, swimming, sewing supplies or everyday hauling. Despite its size, the construction is approachable and suitable for beginners.

Recommended fabric
We recommend choosing a sturdy and durable fabric for your main shell with a weight of around 13-18OZ / 450-600GSM. A sturdy lining will also help to give the bag shape so try to choose something with a good weight and structure with a weight of around 10-15OZ / 350-500GSM. And a mid/light weight cotton or linen is recommended for the piping to help reduce the bulky seam allowances.
