Couture Totes


Cool Totes and Bags is a series of collections of tote bags and related items, based on themes. Couture Totes released in Feb. 2003) features a collection of 12 totes/bags based on clothing styles. Other collections are in development.

You can purchase Cool Totes in one of two ways:
1. As a stand-alone program, which means you don't need Garment Designer to run the software.
2. As a plug-in to Garment Designer, which means you can edit the tote styles, save files, etc.

Using the Stand-alone is simple. Choose a Tote style, choose a size (small, medium or large), add seam allowances, scale to actual size and print.

Using the Plug-in is essentially the same as using a Style Set. Once installed, you will see a new Category (Totes), and you will then see the appropriate style and size menus for totes.

A PDF manual is included with each collection. This contains the 'how-to's on using the program, and sewing instructions plus knitting and crochet how-to's.
