For this project you will need to precut the following pieces of fabric:

Bottom exterior accent panel: 7" x 18", twill, duck, home dec, cut 2
Exterior pockets: 8" x 8", cotton, cut 2

Plus:
two pieces of quilt batting that measure 18" x 18" for the exterior body panels
92" of one inch cotton webbing for the handles

I love your creative bags, the easy construction and beautiful fabrics are so appealing.
It’s generous of you to include the measurements for each project, thanks so much.
Made the bag this evening with faux leather and cotton. Really pleased with how it looked. Although my bosel interfacing was a nightmare when trying to apply to the vinyl, so I’d just add to the cotton before joining the pieces together next time. Need to look at other decent interfacings. Also you need 4 8x8 for the two pockets. Another one of your tutorials for another bag tomorrow….can you tell the schools are almost finishing up so it’s gifts time! 😊 Thanks Andrea
Love that bag, so purity.❤️🌹❤️🌹
You are so right it is such a beautiful bag and the fabric is to die for! 💕💕👍🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love this bag and came together so quickly. Thank you :) Donna, Perth Australia

Another awesome bag! I love it. Nice how the pockets are secured by the handles. Love the fabrics you used. It’s so pretty.
I really love how you have decorated your ladder. Everything looks so neat and organized and easily accessible to customers. I would like to shop from the ladder!!! That would be perfect for craft fairs. Hard to miss a beautifully decorated 8 foot ladder with all those goodies attached!
Happy Week 🌻🐿🌻🤗🤗🤗

Thank you Pam! When it is my turn to fill the museum in 2019 I am only going to have ladders as my displays. It will be so fun! XO, Andrea
Sewspire Yes that will be so much fun. How long do you get to leave up your displays? What an awesome way to showcase your many talents and lots of goodies! Can’t wait to see a video of it all put together.

Thank you so for the tutorial...lovetge bag... ladder...ur display and the usage of the shower hook...this will be definitely useful for we beginners. I will do a bag n share the pic
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this! I modified this a little, but it was a great base for the bag I wanted to make to attach to my carryon (I replaced one outside pocket to be a strap) and added a zipper.
Sounds fabulous! It's so fun to make a bag that suits your needs exactly.
Thank you. Very nice and clear.
Thank you!
Superb bag tutorial mam
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure! Thank you!
I just made this! So cute!
Do you have the finished dimensions of this bag? Thanks
Linda bolsa! Parabéns e obrigada pelo tutorial. 👏😍
Thank you!
I Love bag, thanks😘😘😘
So glad you like it Ana!
Thanks for your suggestions.Will surely let you know how my bag turns out.
Awesome!
Hi Andrea made this bag.It has turned out to be very pretty and I have used a zipper since my clients prefer to have one.
You are the best ,your explications WOW. All the Time with you i have fun to sewing 🍓🍓
Thank you! You are so kind to say so!
Oh..jst love it ..m sure going to make it n will make interior pockets n zipper also for my bag ...thnks mam👍
Great idea!
Andrea, Absolutely love you. Thanks so much for sharing your projects with us. Love everything you make. BTW, will you be sharing little Christmas gift projects again this year?
Thank you Lisa! I am sure we will do something fun for Christmas!
Hi Andrea love this tutorial and also the fabric.Going to give a try . I love sewing but most of the material is not available in India,but I still keep on trying to improve on my work.
This a generously sized bag. If you choose a heavier material you can omit the interfacing / batting and craft your handles from fabric. Please let me know how it turns out.
Wow Amazing bag! I want to make this beautiful bag and i've just purchased some foam interfacing. Would it be possible to simply replace the fleece interfacing for foam to give it a bit more structure? Also can I make my own handles from contrasting fabric or does it have to be webbing to make it sit nice? This is just the best tutorial on youtube... thank you!!
Can you please share the dimensions of the finished tote bag? Thanks. Great tutorial.
Is that ever gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE your videos. Just one question...can I sew with 1/4” seams? I’m not good with 5/8. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge.
You sure can!
Thanks for sharing your video. Can I ask which pen do you use for fabric?
I use a black sharpie marker.
Hello Sewspire! I wanted to know if I could use regular fabric for my handles
Yes you can!
thank you for such easy instructions. is there a way to get the written instructions without having to write it all down, just curious. but thank you
I do have PDF print outs for some of the tutorials; but, not all of them. So sorry I don't have written instructions for this design.
Beautiful!
I miss seeing your daughter as well!
Me too!
Making the bag now ..Thanks! You’re a great teacher!😘
My pleasure! And, thank you!
Andrea, hi🖐🏾🖐🏾...can I box my corners b4 I sew everything together instead of after
For sure! The boxed corners are perfect!
Hi Andrea what a beautifully bag just love all your videos. Could I ask you how much do you sell your bags for, I keep making different bag but never know how much to sell them for. People who have brought them said I am not asking enough for them and should charge more. You and I know the time work and effort goes into making bags, but I have no business sense so I am struggling with it. I'm in the UK. Could you give me some advise. Thankyou so much for all your videos kind regards Jo 😊
Hello Jo and thank you for your kind words! When pricing your bags you will add the cost of materials and supplies + your personal fee for sewing (this could be an hourly rate or just a flat fee) to determine your sales or asking price. If you will be selling online you will add in any payment processing and listing fees to that total and charge the customer for shipping. Hope that helps you. Best of luck! Andrea
Thankyou for helping 😊
Could you please give the finished measurements for this bag. Thank you.
Hello! It measures 12" across the base, 13.5" tall and 4.5" deep.
I have a question what material is the bottom of the bag made of.
A basic canvas.
Hi Andrea, if I purchase your camera bag pattern, is the camera strap included or is that a separate purchase? I couldn’t find the pattern for the strap on your web site. Thank you!
Hello Karen, I don't have a tutorial for the strap covers. So sorry.
They look amazing and I have a few photographers that I would like to make a camera bag and camera strap for Christmas
Do you have the camera strap pattern for sale without the tutorial?
I made this tote bag and wanted to post a picture, but I can't figure out how...lol
Did you try posting and tagging her on Instagram?
