Hey everyone, Katie from Punk Projects here! Today I’m sharing the first post of three in a Sew-Along I am doing with you guys!

I think a lot of kids I know would enjoy this foxy tote for their books, toys, hobbies, etc. I don’t think I’d make one for myself, but it’s a cute idea and great tutorial!
He is just too cute!
I agree with Kathy, it’s really cute for a kid. I prefer something less conspicuous for myself.
This is just the cutest foxy bag!
Love the pattern but I think I’m going to use it for decorating a sweatshirt for the grandkids vs a tote.
Ha! got me with the fox tail! I thought the front was pretty cute, but wasn’t expecting the back. I just might have to go get the supplies for this and make it.
I love this Foxy Tote! It is adorable. Thanks!
Your Fox Tote is too cute! Impulse buyers could not deny themselves the pleasure of owning it.
I think it’s very cute!
I Like It! I’ve already gathered the materials from my stash. Gonna print and go cut it out now. Thanks SEW much!
Just adorable!
That is so cute.
This would be an excellent bag to make up for a couple Fox Protection Rescues I work with. Thank you!
I think it would be a great gift for a friend whose last name is Fox.
I think the Foxy Tote is really cute- it will make a nice Christmas present!
I think my grand babies would love this tote!
Love this idea for my sewing class to make for the elementary kids at our school.
I think the Foxy Tote is super cute and that that the tail on the back of the tote is a very nice touch. Thanks for sharing this pattern!
Cute little bag! Love the tail on the back!
This Foxy Tote is super cute!
Totes cute! Some folks may think woodland animalsand birds are overdone but we are animal lovers and cutesy animals will never be out for us.
I KNOW A YOUNG LADY WHO LIKES FOXES, I MAY GAVE TO MAKE HER ONE!
So cute! my granddaughter will love it!
This is soo cute. The detail on both sides is awesome.
My grandchildren would love this. Great library bag.
This is adorable! I may be late finding it but will be sewing this very soon.
Adorable!
Very cute, especially that curly tail on the back.
I love the “back shows the back” concept. My first one was a Mickey Mouse dress (now a tunic, lol) with MM in a pith helmet, peering through tall grass & on the back is MM’s backside as he’s bent over. I may need to build 3D fox ears, so the reverse doesn’t show the stitching.
I LOVE this bag! Personally, I’d use it….though I am certain i would have to make a couple for my daughter’s and nieces once they saw it :). Thanks for sharing such a cute pattern
Looks adorable for a child to take trick or treating!
What a cute tote bag!
I love the foxy tote. Thanks for the tutorial.

The fox tote is real cute for kids!

I think the Foxy tote is adorable! Would be a fun project for children’s bags.
Very creative! I would never have thought to make this without your inspiration and instructions.
