From Sew Mama Sew:
This reversible, bucket-style tote has asymmetrical integrated straps that loop through each other to close the bag. Its reversibility is the natural result of having a full lining, so that the bag can be used with either side out. In the Make A Bag series, its structure was briefly discussed without any templates or sewing instructions; its point was simply the deconstruction of its looped straps. Today I am happy to share the full tutorial on Sew Mama Sew.
The two layers (outer and lining) of this bag are identical in structure and construction, so the instructions that follow are for ONE layer, with the reminder to repeat the entire process to make the second layer. The piping around the base is optional but it does add to both the aesthetics and support of the bag’s structure. For a simpler version of the Cloverleaf Bag, simply omit the piping in one or both layers.
