    Very good and clear instructions! I'm teaching a couple of teens, age 17 to sew. I was trying to find a basic non lined bag then saw this. I came to your site searching on easy rag quilts and found that no block making one! Ive started doing french seams if I dont line my tote bags mainly because of using denim. Or you can double sew the seam and leave in reverse to have a raggy edge. I also most often box my corners. Im lazy too. Although that small seam gage has been my sewing life for over 60 years I just cut my straps a bit wider and iron in quarter folds. Especially if using a bit thinner material it makes the second edge thicker for topstitching. Subscribed and checking out more videos. And link this one to the teens! Thanks so much.

    If you invert the corners in the shape of a triangle (about 1.5 inches deep from top to top) and sew across it at the top of the triangle, then snip off the excess fabric, it gives the bottom of the bag a bit of width so you can carry wide items in this bag.

      Aw! Knowing and getting used to your machine is 80% of it. Then just learning each step of sewing. A project is just steps put together. All you are lucky. I had my mother show me how to use her treadle in 1960, age 5. Just to make stamps then a few small things like doll pillow. I was on her electric by age 10 and quickly was buying patterns. It didnt take me long by my teens to know more then my mother. Then I took adult ed classes and picked my teachers brains. But the internet is so great. Any issue or process can be googled. I never made bags at all until my retirement. But I have always remade thrift clothing. Still wear remade thrift. I love anything goes these days.

    For those who have problem with straps, can use wide gross grain ribbon instead.

      Thank you so much! My grandmother really had the crafting gene for sure! Congratulations on the news of a grandbaby, and as long as your grandbaby is a creative they would love to learn to sew :) Even my boys had fun learning in their early days. Enjoy holding that special little one when they arrive!!!!

    Thanks for talking us through the process instead of just assuming we know; or have an idea; or can learn by watching. The other videos with just background music and no instruction are awful.
    So, again, thank you.

    Can I use cotton instead of canvas? What the difference?

    • @TamarasJoyDIY
      @TamarasJoyDIY  Місяць тому

      Yes you can! The difference will be that the bag will not be as stiff/sturdy. But I have a foldable tote bag tutorial that uses just cotton and I use that bag all the time! It’s great!

  • @demigough2040
    @demigough2040 7 місяців тому

    Great tutorial, unfortunately not happy as the canvas fabric you have listed in your description is obviously NOT the one you used and I ordered 2 metres of it from a stockist in the uk under the impression that that is the one you used as its is under the needed items. such a pity as your fabric is gorgeous

    • @TamarasJoyDIY
      @TamarasJoyDIY  7 місяців тому +3

      Demi, I am so sorry that happened! I always try to recommend fabric that is the right type for the project. (canvas vs. Cotton or fleece). I suppose I need to make it clearer that it is not the exact fabric. The fabric in the video is no longer available for purchase as far as I know. Again, I am so sorry for the confusion. I hope you still enjoy sewing up the project. It is a great beginners project.
