This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, not a physical product.
The painters tote is the ultimate carry-all for on the move. With eight pockets, it’s built for storage, perfect for organizing supplies, or whatever else you need to get through the day. The layered construction makes it ideal for playing with color, pattern, and contrast fabrics. It’s fully lined, with straps to sit comfortably over the shoulder, and comes together as a simple, satisfying sew. Try it in canvas, denim, or cotton twill for a tote that’s ready for everyday use.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
sewlukeivo is the creative studio of Luke-Matthew Iveson, a designer and sewist based in Manchester. The studio was founded on a simple idea: that making your own clothes should feel accessible, expressive, and completely your own.
Drawing on a mix of influences—from utility and costume to everyday wear—the work reflects an appreciation for detail, character, and a bit of drama.
After winning Season 10 of The Great British Sewing Bee, sewlukeivo became a space to share that approach. Through sewing patterns, workshops, and limited drops.
