This is a canvas tool bag with leather tags and tether grommets. I installed a rope in the hem to make the bag opening more user friendly. It is made with 15 oz. cotton canvas.
I sew this bag predominately on a Juki 1508 unison feed Industrial Sewing Machine. amzn.to/2svzs0K
• I Make a Cool Canvas T... Here is where I mark lines on the handle halves. It takes two halves to make one handle.
• I Make a Cool Canvas T... This is how I iron the hem lines into the handle half prior to assembly.
• I Make a Cool Canvas T... Now just put two of the ironed handle halves together each hiding the raw edges of the other and sew them together.
Here is a cut list that you can download.

Loved this video!!! Wife wants an industrial machine, now I think there is a reason to get it for her.......keep up the great work.
My favorite sewing video on UA-cam. Excellent.
My favorite comment. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. Just finished making one, though I only used ~10 oz cotton duck and a non-industrial machine (Pfaff 130). Still turned out great, the rope in the hem makes a big difference.
That is great, I love hearing that! I have made bags with 10 oz canvas too, it works great for that and lasts too. My backdrop is made from 10 oz canvas, its good. Glad you like the rope, it definitely steps it up a notch. Thanks
haha you make it look so easy. plain material + no fuss design + WORKMANSHIP = stunning piece!
Thanks Dani, I should have a new bag video out soon.
Great, I'll look forward to it!
I really enjoy your tutorials. Also all the sewing machines you have. Looking forward to your next project. Have a good week
AMAZING. What skills. I love that there are still folks that have these amazing craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Alexander, Great video thanks for posting it. I made a couple of the tool bags in military grade heavy duty canvas manufactured here in Australia. The tool bags turned out 10 inches wide by 16 inches long. The height was 12 inches reducing to 10.5 after I added the bolt rope at the top. I shortened the outside strap by 3 inches to allow for the bolt rope. Using a 5/8 inch seam allowance the tops of the pockets on the end lined up with the the pocket tops on the side. The end pockets in the video banner image are lower than the side pockets, I guess this was a prototype version of the bag.
I was pretty much forced to sew the bottom corners using a triple feed 2 inch cylinder arm machine to achieve good tight seams on the bottom corners of the bag. The rest of the bag was done easily on a flatbed triple feed machine, like your Juki 1508. Not sure how one would go making this bag on a plain drop feed machine with thick canvas. I agree that everyone should have a Juki 1508 triple feed.
Thanks Again Myles
That is a very informative comment. I gave it a thumbs up. Your project sounds great, you have made a great tool bag and who knows, you may have it for the rest of your life. Those bottom corners are definitely tricky. Again, I really appreciate you taking the time. Oh and prototype, yes, most of the things I make are. \HaHa/
cool bag and I loved your video. No annoying music or talking just practical demo :) I've been sewing for a living for 45 yrs and I learnt several new ways of doing things.
Thanks. New ways of doing things huh? That is what happens when a carpenter gets a sewing machine. Ha Ha 😋 But seriously I appreciate your comments.
This is mesmerizing to watch. I want to sew like you do!! Until I do, I at least can use some of your techniques in my own work. Wow!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, THIS BAG
THANK, THANK, THANK, YOU
I just finished this bag. I used 2 or so yards of 36” wide duck with some left over. I added inside pockets using the method in the video with the larger bag with leather handles. It went together fairly easy. I did make one modification to both end panel pockets(at least from what I saw in the video) by moving the pockets panel up higher with just enough of the bottom seam allowance to be sewn under the end sacrifice panel . I did slightly off set the tops of the end pockets with side pockets. You end up with quite a few layers to go through during the final assembly! Regarding the cut list provided: I would cut the inside straps an extra 6 inches longer or so to be sure the doubled up section of the handles can be sewn to the bag. I ended up having shorten the outside handles a bit from the ends to get them to attach properly. It carries well enough with the handles a few inches shorter.
Awesome project. Great videos.
I am absolutely floored and speechless. This is BEAUTIFULLY made!!! The craftsmanship is impeccable!!!
Thank you, you are too kind.
I absolutely love how you just chuck your cut pieces right next to your machine, like you're saying there all done no sweat peanuts 😂. I'm seriously thinking about investing in a Juki myself.
Excellent project. love the clean design and the straightforward demonstration ... kudos!!
I appreciate that Dominic Del Principe.
The Juki 1508...the favorite in my arsenal of machines...I have 2 1508s one for a back-up....nice bag...
The Juki 1508 is a great machine. I also have a 1541 which look very similar. I am planning on doing a video soon about the differences between the two. Stay tuned and thanks for your comments.
I'm glad you showed how to work those rivets!! Great bag!!
This was so cool to watch! I also love your overlock machine
I especially adore and appreciate the crap out of this video! Thank you so very much! And this machine you using is officially my dream machine. The juki you did all the sewing on. Im in awe.
This is definitely a work horse of a machine. Machines come and go in my shop but this one stays, I love it.
I have never seen anyone sew like you. You have many unique techniques. Very good bags and videos. 👍
That is probably because I am self taught. Taught with the help of UA-cam. It is a great time to be alive.
I made this for myself and my friends.... Everybody loves them. Thank you!
Love the old serger used in the video.
I'd love to make a bag like this but with the pockets inside and with some sort of closure for security reasons. Thanks for showing me how it could be done
really nice craftsmanship! I started doing leather work this year, but it is very expensive. Looking into canvas with leather like a Klein bag. You just broadened my horizon with this.
Awesome work!
What a nice thing to say. I like the Klein bucket bags too.
When I get my juki I’m gonna try this bag. I love it! I think I’ll make it for all of my mums knitting tools and wool.
Excellent, please share.
I want to make one for my dad! He definitely need this kind of tool bag! Great video Sir Alexander! Very useful tutorial! Thumbs up!!
Thanks! 😀
wow!!!!! what a great bag! I need a bag like that for my final year in uni for a sewing equipment!!!! thanks xx
sweet!!! I would love to see it.
Alexander Dyer I will let you know if I make one!
Wow, lots of work!
You have great instructions, i slowed it down and was able to get the instructions and sewed together 5 of those canvas tool bags, they are easy once you do the first one but you need a industrial sewing machine to sew it together, thanks for the nice video and it was a great project.
Damn it!
Just as I was engrossed in this video, my wife came through the door unexpectedly.
I had to insist that I had been trying to find a video of naked women, and that I had not actually searched for a sewing video.
She thought it was hilarious.
(Hope the joke doesn't offend anyone - that's what I really said to her).
Thanks for a great video.
I have recently been searching local tool shops for strong canvas tool bags.
Have only found innovative but cheaply made alternatives so far.
But if I leaned how to fix my wife's sewing machine...
I'm not offended, I think it is hilarious.
Well...I've watched this video a couple of times and every time I try - in my head to make it more feminine but it's never the same as this one Alex makes. Awesome tote.
Great job. Love the bag.
Jimmy Diresta with a sewing machine and a Seiko Shogun. Great video, loved it.
Wow, you have got an eye for watches, Nice! Oh and comparing my video to a Jimmy Diresta is probably the most generous compliment you could give me, not that I deserve it. 😌 Thank you.
thank you . I love your work .
Your sewinmachine Is wonderfull, and this bag is fabolous, great job men...
I like this sewing machine too. Thank you.
thanks for your kindness and generousity in sharing the how to to make the bag. also a very entertaining bag making effort.
Your Welcome, Thank You.
Amazing job, beautiful craftsmanship :)
Thank you for the nice words :)
For the experienced sewer only... follow this video. Watch it several times and and you will be able to put the different panels together.. It's amazing!
Great tip!
my goodness.... you are such a wonderful artist sir!!! great creation. thank you.
Just a man with his sewing machines. Humbly... Thank you.
I like the rope used for piping to strengthen the top ridge of your sack. I’ll have to do that next time.
It really adds a lot of constitution to the bag. Makes it stand open nicely.
Good gosh, Alex, your machine, being that it's an industrial piece of machinery is phenomenal. For it to be able to get over the bulky areas as it does is awesome! I have a Husqvarna Viking and, although I've tried getting over some bulk areas when I sew, if I don't go slow, which I would normally do, sometimes the motor can't even handle it and it causes my needle to break. Nevertheless, this was a great showing of how you put this bag together and I loved especially the pockets technique. I'm going to try my hand at incorporating that particular feature into a tote bag made with 100% cotton. Thank you so much for sharing.
Yes the machine is cool. These industrial machine allow me to sew things in unorthodox ways. I enjoy that I can dream up something and then be able to do it, it's fun.
THAT SURELY AINT NO HARBOR FREIGHT......Nice work.
Love it. I almost felt hypnotized
Thank you.
Se ve que ama su trabajo. Exelente! Felicidades!!
Gracias.
Wow Your bags are nice. Your Awesome Alex! Your one of my mentors now!😉😀 Thank You Soooo Much 🤗
I am glad you found me and I really appreciate all your wonderful comments and support.
Wow! Wonderful to see it done
🙌
Wow!!! I really enjoyed watching this video! You did a great job!
That’s beautifully orchestrated, thank you
Very nice craftsmanship and filming & editing skills, as well!
Thank you for the nice comment.
You did those rounded corner seams so effortlessly/flawlessly haha :D
Millions are spent making movies less interesting and entertaining than this. Thanks!
What a generous comment, I am glad you liked it, thanks a million!
True.
Great Sir. I have also started learning how to make bags. Searching for a good industrial sewing machine. Let's see and all the best for your work
Did you see this one? ua-cam.com/video/sBavkfataiM/v-deo.html
Really nice!
Using a durable womens purse is much easier. Only thing I would suggest is spray painting the whole thing, and could put your name on it if your worried about tools coming up missing
He Has his name on it ..and what do you mean by spraypaint and womens purse?? this is clearly a toolbag!
Thank you for sharing this video it’s very nice and easy to make. The speedy fast fwd version is super.
Super Thanks!
I almost finished a bag like this today. Just have to prowl out in my garage and see if I have any rope. I had a painting drop cloth that I cut up for this. Thanks for posting this a couple of years ago.
Bravo
You are a PRO!
This is an amazing work man.
Hi nice job, i see you went straight for the serger to tame that canvas, sure does get unruly quickly doesn't it. Surprised your serger table is just short of meeting up with the outfield table to be flush.
I hear ya about people not wanting to pay the price. SEWING takes FOREVER and an 8oz spool of goretex is damn near $120 ! People don't realize that its not just thread. Let alone some material can be $20-30/yard.
I make custom LED lights to specifically fit under the harp. Id be happy to send one along.
I have one on my Juki 5550 and another on the Tacsew.
I used the overlock on the quilted pieces of my back pack. You can see that overlock machine sits @ 6" above the table. I have found it to be very handy to use. It can be seen in my backpack video if your interested.
toobglued i tried looking at your bio to see where I can go to buy those LD’s.. but had no luck .. do u have a internet ship somewhere??!! Etsy? Insta? Help! LOL
Yeah that would go good with soup and was my favorite part of this video.
😉
Awsome, wow--- now that's a bag
Such a great video and I hope I can follow after multiple times of learning and scrutinising (hope I use correct word). Thank you so much and hope to learn more. I am from Malaysia.
Also watch the video linked at the end, I think it will help. Good luck.
I want to ask how much a fat square (not solid) cost? Actually I am 62 yrs a pensioner and like quilting always learning from yr tutorials. ridzwan latiff is my son and I use his account. Last night I just finished my "Crossing Path" quilt and I' m so excited to sew more. Thank you for yr reply.
TRAVAIL DE PRO ! J'aime très bien ❤
Very nice bag. Unlikely that my home machine will go through all those layers.
Thank you and you are correct. I love these machines, they allow me to make the things I dream up. Very rewarding.
OUTSTANDING !
THANK YOU!
Awesome! Well done , Sir!
CarpenterBea says Hi from Germany🤓
🖐
Me encanta. Muy practica y bonita a la vez.
Love the video, insane talent. The bag looks great and just keep it up.
Thank you very much, I will.
Very Nice!!!!
I like your style 👍🏻
☄️
That was so awesome!
beautiful camera angles! Very nice!
How nice of you to notice, Thank you.
This is the ultimate "man" tutorial. I love it 😂
Great video! I’m picking up a Jimmy Diresta vibe, and I mean that as a compliment. Subbed!
The guy is awesome. Thank you and glad to have you.
I plan on doing this to my old sea bag
That sounds like a good project.
Two thumbs up for that great job thanks for sharing the video keep up the good work
Thank you.
Excellent, would consider another bottom material, as the bright canvas will look ugly fast, especially on grass. Probably use a leather or a better waterproof pvc or nylon groundsheet, like for heavy tents.
That is one theory and some great ideas but I take issue with your opinion that it will look "ugly". I find the visual appearance and patterns of use to be interesting and often beautiful. Often things are desirable because they are rusty or have a patina. Have you noticed that most brand new jeans have replicated wear patterns? Try this video out of another bag I made with "dirt" as a feature. ua-cam.com/video/2qHdHUqWGK0/v-deo.html
Alexander Dyer Ney, you cannot compare wear marks on jeans or leather with grass and dirt stains on pure white canvas. Check out the Totepack Nr. 2 from Fjällräven. Nice leather bottom. However, of course this remains taste and that is often hard to agree one. Otherwise really nice bag.
I like leather bottoms too.
Awesome stuff man, love the bag also love your minimalist logo. Subbed :)
Thanks for all the kindness.
Can I do this on an old Kenmore with a 1.2 Amp motor; maybe with a walking foot?
I'm going to watch this several times to get the cut list then the order of construction. I need something super duty to carry my commercial diver's helmet and hoses, gauges, tools and spare parts. I want a ridged bottom with partial rigid sides to protect the helmet window.
... and; the option to carry it back pack style or tote I'll be threading a stainless steel cable through the top for anti theft measures. It's the little stuff that gets stolen and a big hard case won't get it when in cramped areas.
This will be getting wet from time to time so it needs to resist environmental weather elements.
The ability to keep a shape is very important however; I want to be able to remove the sides and bottom but it still needs to be kept with the bag.
The bag should also clear the floor or deck by 3/4" to 1" with feet of some design.
A really nice bag, I like it, but could I make it after watching the video, even 10x, unlikely. Without ongoing commentary I have little to no clue why you were doing, what you were doing nor the reason for doing it the sequence presented. Really nice sewing and a good looking useful bag; you'll probably get many years of use from such a quality product. I think I'm envious.
This may help. ua-cam.com/video/lz-dL1OKAfs/v-deo.html
Wow!! Very nice bag!!
Hey! Thanks!
Great tote thanks
This is awesome! Great work.
🙂
Отличная работа.Браво!!!
Preciosa 😍👍🏻👏🏻 Me gustaría para mí!
I am glad that you like it. Have a good day.
Simple and easy job
That's wonderful work you done
Thank you Jeannie Houghton.
I appreciate you not talking thank you very much. I just need to watch this video 100 more times and then I can do it. Whats the soup that was made to go with the fried polenta 😋
Here is one that I talk. ua-cam.com/video/lz-dL1OKAfs/v-deo.html Vegatable.
Alexander by chance do you do custom work for people?? if so I would like to get in touch with you about that. Great work...
Oh sure, I do custom work, but nobody has been willing to pay my high fees. ;) email me if you want. Just click the "About" tab on my channel for my address. Thanks a million.
it would be sick if you made a parachute bag.
fantastic!!!
Looks like a Jimmy Diresta fan. 😀
If it looks straight, it is straight.
Adorei!!! Parabéns muito bonita! 😘
obrigado
I really like this bag. However I feel that people that post videos to youtube are doing it to HELP others that don't know what/how to do it. It would have very helpful to me if you would have slowed down and gave instruction as to which piece you were sewing together. I can see you are very talented and I am very impressed with your bag, I just wish you would have given some oral instruction.( step by step) I had been searching forever to find video on how to make a small canvas gardening bag for my grandson with no luck. Your bags is exactly what I want only a smaller version. My husband did the math to help me with that! But being a beginner I just need more instructions. Anyhoo Thanks I hope I can figure it out after watching your video over and over.
Thanks for your comment. Maybe this video will help a little more. ua-cam.com/video/lz-dL1OKAfs/v-deo.html
Thanks, yes it helped!
Nice bag
Thanks
Nice craftsmanship!
So good! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, your welcome. 😀
That is a really nice bag.
Thanks,it is amazing, how long was the real time of sewing this tool bag?
Wow really great job
It's such a good design. The dimensions are perfectly practical for a tool bag. Bigger than a lineman's bag, but smaller than a regular tool bag (or so it seems)... I keep watching this video. Where is your shop located in US? M
interesujące ! Podoba mi się :)
