What's a Jitney anyway?  "Jitney" is an antique word from around 1908. A "jitney" was slang for a nickel which was the fare for a bus or car on a regular route. The bus or car became known as a "Jitney". Jump on the Jitney and travel from the past into today.

The Jitney Tote Bag
The "Jitney Tote Bag" was featured on HGTV's (Home and Garden Television) Sew Much More Show!

We want the Jitney Tote Bag to be YOUR tote bag of choice for YOUR regular route, whether it's to work, school or leisure.

*It is the perfect size for a woman's frame.

*It is engineered to be surprisingly lean in line, yet mysteriously roomy.

*It can be carried comfortably on the shoulder, where you can easily control the bag and navigate gracefully through stores or crowds; or at the elbow, where the dual rolled leather handles distribute the weight; or by the hand, without the bag dragging on the ground, aka "dragosis"!

*Customize the pattern to fit your lifestyle by selecting the fabric and pockets that meet your needs. Choose from: organizer with places for business cards, pen/pencil, notes, other small items, a hidden pocket; cell phone pocket; sunglasses pocket; drink sleeve; and waterproof umbrella sleeve. A large outside pocket keeps items at your finger tips.

*The lined bag features a zip top to secure contents as well as sturdy hidden interior construction to carry the heaviest load.

*Create an expensive looking bag by purchasing the Designer Rolled Leather handles custom made for the Jitney Tote Bag. (A webbing alternative is also optional).

*Fabric measurements enable you to choose a small amount of a more expensive fabric so you can economize yet give the bag a rich coordinated look.

*The Jitney Tote Bag is easy to make with clear, understandable instructions and simplified sewing methods.
