The Best DIY Tote Bag Patterns for Fall

Fall to me has always meant going on adventures, whether they be weekend road trips or just a jaunt in the park down the street. Things on my autumn to-do list usually include apple picking, pumpkin patch-ing, corn maze-ing, and finding a fun hayride—I know: They’re all cliches, but they’re classics for a reason! The problem with adventures is that things sometimes go awry. Knees are scraped, weather changes, and any number of little emergencies tend to pop up when I’m away from home. That’s why I like carrying tote bags if I’m making a day of it—they can fit all of my essentials without looking bulky!

I’ve gathered up 12 of our best DIY tote bag patterns for fall. If you’re looking to start in on some easy sewing projects or just wanting to whip something up in a hurry, you’re sure to find a tote you love on this list!
