Pattern - Anna Graham Caravan Tote + Pouch

Beautiful patterns from Anna Graham of Noodlehead. This is a paper pattern for the Caravan Tote, a really versatile bag with lots of organizing features, always good - and this one comes with an bonus zippered pouch. I can't tell you how many of Anna's pouches I've made - her tutorial changed forever the way I sew zippers. This is a great project bag for a knitter or anyone who carries a craft project where they are going.
