Designed with air travel in mind, the Remote Tote is the perfect sized everyday carry-all. From commuting to work to weekend adventures, this versatile bag adapts to whatever your day holds. If a bag can make navigating an airport easier, it can simplify everyday life too.

The bag features multiple pockets inside and out, strategically placed for maximum efficiency. There’s a dedicated sleeve for your water bottle and a luggage handle strap that allows the bag to slide with little effort onto your rolling suitcase, freeing your hands and shoulders during those long terminal walks. The zipper closure allows all of your contents to stay inside, even after sliding it under the seat in front of you.

Fabric suggestions: For a durable and long-lasting tote bag, choose medium to heavyweight fabrics that can stand up to daily wear and tear (10 oz. or more) ie. canvas, denim, duck cotton twill, etc…

The finished bag dimensions are 18” wide X 13” tall and the straps are 24 1/2” long.

Your Bag, Your Way

The design of the Remote Tote allows for adaptability during the sewing process. Throughout the pattern, you'll find opportunities to customize the design to your personal taste, ensuring each bag is uniquely yours. Not all of the bag features are necessary to its function and can be excluded if found to be unneeded. The quilted straps can be made with self fabric or instead with a 1 1/2" twill tape or grosgrain. This bag is also an opportune time for color blocking and using up pieces in your scrap bin.
