WoW! SEW cute! Great instructions and video! 👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!!! 💛🤓
Great
Very good I really appreciate it and gonna watch again for im kinda slow at direction s but great job 👍
Thank you for not having music in the background. I am hard of hearing & I cannot understand the instructions with music playing. Have made the pillowcase, now will need to try the tote bag.
I learned early on after my first few videos not to use music lol. Or at least not to use it while people are trying to learn ✅ have fun making this bag👍🏼💛
Oh my goodness I was going to say the same :)😊
😊
@@deborahdouville3926 yes indeed. I am so grateful for that.
@deborahdouville3926 totally agree and my hearing is good. I just hate distraction when watching tutorials
This is the same as the method for a pillowcase! Love it!
Thank you for a great tutorial without background music.
x1 - 29.5" x 12.5" Bottom body
x1 - 30.5" x 7" Body top
x2 - 27" x 1.5" Straps
thank you
This is how we made 100's of pillow cases.
Nice to give it a try for a purse!!
Thank you!!
❤😊 Awesome find!!
I've been sewing for almost 70 years and never thought of this. I love it for the totes I'm making especially for double quilted fabric(2 right sides). Thanks so much.
You’re welcome ✅ I bet I could learn a lot from you💛 sounds like you are still sewing strong after 70 years!🎉🎊
Diana- I also have a magic drawstring bag video too✅
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made one in under an hour and added a front pocket.
By far the simplest and cutest bag I've done! again Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I have made grocery bags with left over material, but I have to say this is beyong clever, beautiful & easy.. can't wait to try this new method. Thank you.
This is a great tutorial. I just finished making my first bag using this method and have some tips. I didn't have the pre-quilted cotton on hand so used 2 layers of cotton + Warm & Natural quilt batting. It sews together very well; however, when topstitching the upper piece over the handles, it's really thick. Use a heavy-duty/leather needle. Wish I thought of this before I broke a needle!
When topstitching, I sewed across the handle, turned the entire unit and sewed the handle to the top piece. When I got back to where the seams meet, I sewed over the handle piece a second time. Seemed easier to me than starting and stopping to attach the 4 handle areas plus reinforces the strap by the seam.
Lastly, overall this is an easy, fun and functional bag and can be adjusted to any size you'd like. My handles were 21" long and I could have made them longer, as some of it is taken up when you sew them to the upper piece. Because I used batting, it was very thick to pull through the upper piece. I actually put on my gripper glove to help it along. For a more lightweight bag, this could be made easily without the batting. Glad I found this channel and tutorial!
Thanks for all of the awesome tips that you just gave all of us!✅ The batting fabric on my bag in the video was actually very very thin… So it was pretty easy to make with this bag. I’m so happy that you found my channel! Thanks for watching💛
@@TheSewingChannel I bet fleece or even fusible fleece would be lighter than the batting. I didn't have enough fusible fleece on hand to try it this time...maybe next time!
Good thoughts✅
I know it has been a year. I hope it was not a leather needle. I hope you tried again with fleece or thinner bating. I was thinking I would do the same or maybe just two pieces without the batting. I looking for a easy bag to use up some of may fabric.
I was thinking of using jean material with the fusible interface...I'm a new sewer and I bought way too much for another project and I doubt have the prequilted fabric
I. LOVE THIS IDEA, I COULD NOT SLEEP LAST NIGHT. I WATCH THIS TUTORIAL LAST NIGHT,
TWO TIMES MADE THESE TWO TOTS ONE FOR MY SISTER AN ONE FOR MY MOM.IUSED AOLD QUILT I HAD STUFF AWAY AN I
PUT SOME VALENTIME MATERIAL FOR TRIM.
AN NOW I HAVE TWO PERFECT
VALENTINE GIFT.
💃💃💖👍👍👍👍👍
That is so awesome! I love this technique too! I have a magic drawstring bag video too-I have it linked in the comments somewhere and if you click on my channel page you should be able to find it. ✅🤓
You have pretty hands as well as great sewing ideas. Well explained method. Thank you😊
THE TUBE WAY! This is exactly how I make my pillowcases SO AWESOME!!
Just made this today. It was fun, easy and adorable. I quilted the main piece with canvas on outside and cotton lining and self adhesive batting and canvas on top but I made it 8 inches.
Burrito style tote bag instead of pillowcase, brilliant!
It was so fun listening to you talking & giggling. Then you said stop talking ALREADY. What joy I felt as I could hear my precious Mom say that phrase. She passed away 1996. She was a fabulous seamstress. I learned so many things from her that helped me become a very good sewer.
I’m nearly 80 & love sewing still. Continue teaching & modeling for people who don’t know how to sew using a pattern.
*_Thank you so much for the kind feedback Judith💛That is so wonderful that your mother taught you how to sew 💜_*
I sew duffles and totes out of old racing sails and cannot wait to try this and see just how much thickness my Sailrite machine can really handle. Thank you
Love your tutorial. I taught sewing classes for 8 years in our homeschool co-op. This would have been good project for that. It reminds me of the sausage roll pillowcase. I would change one thing in your tutorial. I would baste the straps down about 3” vertically in order to keep them in place while pinning and rolling.
I agree with your change Anita❤️
*_💥Watch my Magic Drawstring Bag video here:💥 _**_ua-cam.com/video/a5Dt4xDMw68_/v-deo.html*
Thank you for explaining things step by step. This will be my first time sewing anything together. Wish me luck.😊
I have made a couple of pillowcases with the French Seam. I never thought of making a tote bag the same way. Thanks for the tutorial. Have a blessed day.
You’re welcome 💛
This is great! I’ve made pillowcases using this method, but never would have thought to make a tote like this. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!👍let me know how it turns out for you✅
That’s what I thought when I started watching this. Genius sewist.
You know these are good tutorials when I want to go make this NOW - right NOW lol :-) I even have this quilted fabric!!! Thank you!
*_LOL Linda!!!!!!😂😂😂I am the same way-when I see something I like!!!✅_*
Clever! Magic pillowcase morphed.
Yes! You’re right!✅
Love it. My tip would be to machine baste the straps in the seam allowance & again a couple of inches down to help keep straps properly straight.
Used this method on a "magic pillowcase", but never tried making a bag, what a great idea!!! Thanks! I'm new to your channel.
Welcome to The Sewing Channel💛
Thank you! I enjoyed and understood your video! No music ! Excellent!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!❣️
French seams are so neat looking . Great idea for a quick tote bag.
Thanks Mary💛
I will definitely have to look at this a few times. The rolling of the fabric is 'intriguing'
*_It really is! But you can do it Yolande!😉_*
Tote bags have always scared me, but with your version I can do it! Thank you
Awesome!👍⭐️
I've watched so many "burrito method" videos and finally, I understand how it works. Thank you so much! I think not having that extra layer of a lining fabric really helped me to grasp the trick, i.e, the magic! I'm really grateful. Subscribed!
Glad it was helpful!🎉
Like the burrito pillowcase. Seams 2 easy,
very easy✅
I literally stopped and unpicked the tote bag from a different channel. This is so cool!!
Glad this one works for you!✅
Thank you for this video! I like how u explain it , and the easy , clear, instructions!
Light colored straps on that dark colored bag would be much easier for those viewing to see !
Its made JUST LIKE THE
"BURRITO" PILLOWCASE...
WOW !!
*_Thank you for the feedback...you are absolutely right on the color choice✅YES-just like the burrito pillow case✅👍🏻_*
@@TheSewingChannel woohoo...ive made hundreds of those pillowcases...😁😀🤗👍
Ove this ...pillowcase style! Brilliant...I would use some light weight iron on interfacing on the top section...also before rolling ...machine baste straps in place...I have to try this one
Great job. Beautiful combination of colors. Everyone should have one of these to cut down in the use of plastic. Thank you for sharing.
*_And they are so easy to make too 🤓✅_*
So brilliant to make a tote bag with this method. I had used it for pillowcases but had never thought of tote bags. Thanks for sharing with great, clear and simple instructions.
You’re welcome! ❤️
Thank you a million!! I have made bags before but you have made the process even easier and more fun. Thank you for the great and in-depth explanations at each step. Glad I found you 😊
This is the magic pillow case pattern, except it has straps. Very good idea 🙂
Thank you for the great instructions.
That was so cool - it looks like the same process to make a speedy pillowcase too. Going to have to try it making an easy tote bag to give and/or sell.
I wish you could hear me squeal ! THIS IS JUST LIKE THE MAGIC PILLOW !! I LOVE IT !! I have made so many pillow cases and taught my grand daughters 9,8,6 to make there own pillow case ! Now I can teach them to make there own tote bag this is great !! Thanks ❤😁
Wonderful!
I loved "In not going to do that today simply because I'm not going to..."
*_LOL 😬😂_*
Very good
I have no idea how I missed this last year! Great tutorial, Tracy! Thanks :)
I made my first bag. I boxed the bottom and embroidered on it. Wish I could show you a picture but I don’t know how to put one on here. Glad I saw this video, thanks for the pattern.
Sounds great! Email me a picture to thesewingchannel33@gmail.com ✅
This is like a burrito pillowcase. How cool!
*_Yes...just like the burrito roll up pillowcase✅_*
Love it I make the tube pillow cases love those too these are great gift bags that can be reused
Thanks. 2 Bags made for my Grandchildren. Appreciate your very clear instructions
*_That's awesome...Thanks for the great feedback on these bags Rose💛_*
Nice and quick
Thank you for watching Karen🌸
@@TheSewingChannel I see that you did a 2 color 2 stitch tote.👍🏽
Made 3 of these. different sizes. turned out great. watched video several times to make the first one. rest real easy.
*_Great job!🥳_*
I just made this tote bag in a Frozen themed for my granddaughter and it turned out so nice. My grandbaby loved it.You were right It was so easy. I really enjoyed making this! Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
*_Wonderful Lola...💛Thank you so much for coming back on to let us all know it worked✅_*
Your video is such a great find for me ...because I embroider and making these simple, quick bags would allow me to easily embroider the fabric first then assemble the bag! Thank you so much for such an enjoyable tutorial.
What a great idea with the embroidery!!✅
I like this easy way to finish a tote bag in very quick time...
*_It really is easy .....It takes longer for me to explain it LOL😂_*
Thank you for these instructions 😀 I have made several of the burrito pillowcases, so am excited to know there is also a burrito tote bag. I’m making it for a friend’s birthday ❤️
Awesome!✅💛
This bag is great. I don't know much about sewing, but your instructions are very detailed and thought out correctly so as not to make any mistakes. I just bought a pattern and I couldn't follow it, because I'm very visual. Thank you, thank you for this tutorial.
You’re welcome Olga!💛 I’m very visual too✅
@@TheSewingChannel 🥰
You are an excellent teacher🙌👏 Love this bag and the simplicity of it.
You are very kind! Let me know how it turns out if you end up making it✅💛
Wow, what a super way to make a tote bag! You could embellish the bottom with applique or embroidery. The possibilities are endless! Truly magic! Your instructions are superb!
Those are great 💡 ideas! Endless possibilities for sure!🤓👍✅
Really sweet!
Oh, I've made a lot of pillowcases using the same "magic". Never though doing a bag. Thank you for this! 🥰👍❣
You are absolutely welcome!💛let me know how it turns out if you make it. 🤓✅
Yes me too!! So much fun to do too.
Susan you took the words right out of my mouth.
Same here. Love to try this.
exactly what I thought too as soon as she started rolling it up!
I'm new to sewing. I'm so glad I came across you. You're videos are so helpful you got me hooked ❤
Thank you for sharing this great technique....I have one tiny suggestion - for those that have a walking foot it would make sewing these layers easier. You are a great teacher.
Great idea Maddie✅
Great video, great tote! This is the method I've used making pillow cases. So simple!
Thank you Sandy💛 Super simple for sure✅
Reminds me of the burrito pillowcase! I can't wait to make these. Thank you.
The burrito pillow case is what inspired me to come up with this✅✅✅✅ let me know how it turns out for you👍🤓
Thank u so much u ar so clear it's very easy to catch up step by step
This is the same method for bodices on dresses. I never thought to use it for bags. May try it for lots of other things too now that Ihave seen this. Thank-you so much from an avid sewer from Cheshire, England.
Wow I didn’t know that. Thanks for info! I also have a backpack & drawstring gift bag in my magic series 💛

Now you know how! Let me know how it turns out if you end up making it…👍✅🤓

I’ve got ideas for draw string, velcro net bottoms etc. ✔️
