Grommeted Bucket Tote Sewing Pattern PDF

You asked for sewing patterns, and I finally came through! What started as a way to share patterns for bags that just aren't overly efficient and economical to "mass" produce for you has turned into this: Chestnut Circle Co.

It's still a wee babe at the moment, but I have dreams and plans for it! CCCo is all about  staying creative and finding nuggets of peace and satisfaction through crafting a little each day. No matter what's going on at home or in the world, taking a few minutes for yourself to just create... that sh!t's priceless and what we all need right now. 

So, I give you your first CCCo sewing pattern! It's currently in Beta form at a discounted price, so grab it before the price goes up!
