Fika Tote- Noodlehead

Fika is a Swedish word, meaning ‘to have coffee’. The classic clean lines of this mid-sized tote give a nod to Anna's Scandinavian heritage. The Fika Tote has plenty of features you’ll love, like front pockets, a back lapped zipper pocket, recessed zipper closure and padded pockets. Take this tote on your next visit with friends!

Special features:

• two front pockets for things you need to keep close at hand
• back lapped zippered pocket
• optional recessed zipper (it's optional, but you'll love it!)
• makes a great work or student bag, padded interior pockets can accommodate most laptop sizes

Skill Level: Intermediate (this is a fairly straightforward sew, but due to the number of pieces and size of the tote this pattern is classified as intermediate) an adventurous advanced beginner could also tackle this project - it just takes a bit of organization!
