Learn How to make a Halloween Trick or Treat Bag with this FREE pattern and easy to follow tutorial. Make a bag that will last several Halloweens! #halloweensewingprojects #halloweensewing #halloweensewingcrafting #halloweentrickortreatbags #halloweentrickortreatbagsforkidsThis pumpkin tote is a fun addition to your Halloween collection that you can use year after year to collect candy or decorate your home!

The Halloween Tote Bag is a free pattern and tutorial and comes in two difference sizes. The small size (9″ X 9″ X 4″) is perfect for trick or treaters or for children to carry treats for their friends at school. The large size (14.5″ X 16″ X 7″) is designed for adults or those trick or treaters that like to visit their entire neighborhood! It is large enough to fit a standard binder, and would make a perfect teacher gift.

The bag features a simple pumpkin face applique. If you’ve never done applique before, don’t worry! It is very simple with fleece because you don’t have to worry about the raw edges.

The bag also features a hard bottom for an improved shape and stability.

Materials:

orange fleece – 2/3 yard for large size, 1/2 yard for small size

small scraps of black fleece for pumpkin applique

nylon webbing – 2 yards for large size, 1 yard for small size (I often salvage this from broken backpacks or purses)

small piece of stiff cardboard, chloroplast, or plastic canvas for stiffening the bottom of the tote

hot glue

glue stick

Sewing Essentials (pins, scissors, etc.)
