In this tutorial I teach you how to make a tote bag using Pellon Flex Foam, Cotton fabric and boxed corners. This bag is my all time favorite bag to make. Not only is it easy, it also looks fantastic! It makes a perfect bag for gifting or just for yourself.

[@diannegreene2867]

would be cute with a pocket in front and use the binding across the front.

[@LatoyaAlexander]

Love the video!! I made a bag but the handles got stuck in the inside once I pulled out..... ugh...😥

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Sorry to hear that. It happens to the best of us. I've done it many times!

[@user-ip4yv3gk2p]

What size needle do you sew with for the faux leather? for the fusible foam? Is it a 14/90 or 12/80?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

I use a 14/90. 😊

[@lindadenton7431]

could you use a drop in lining for this bag?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Linda- Yes you could.

[@MsRitay]

Where did you get your labels from

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Rita- The shop is called Lillotta and it’s on Etsy.

[@pattybierman4433]

Where do you get your faux leather from?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Patty- I get it from Hobby Lobby and Amazon.

[@catherinemills8295]

This was great, but I suggest to use lighter coloured fabrics as it is very difficult to see what you are doing with those dark fabrics.
