Thrift stores are a real bonanza for old curtains. Sheets (in good shape) make great linings too! Great tutorial. Boxing the corners would turn this into a nice grocery bag.
I absolutely wanted to box the corners, but CeNedra was adamant that she wanted a basic tote bag. I also wanted to add a contrasting fabric panel at the top or the bottom, but she didn't want that either. 😊
Can you make a tutorial that shows how to iron a boxed bottom tote bag. I am finding it hard to iron one, especially the ones that are made out of canvas which wrinkles easily. Thanks.
Great instructions! The fabric you used was so pretty! I often make totes as gift bags that can be used to hold the gift and to tote anything later! Groceries, books, snacks, sleepover pjs. etc.
Thank you Judy 😊. CeNedra just loved the fabric and she is happy with her bag. You are so right, these tote bags are so handy for carrying just about anything.
Such a fun idea! And a wonderful tutorial! You instructions & visual process were so easy to understand & follow. I feel you could teach any project with your excellent teaching technique. Thank you so very much. Looking forward to seeing you again.✂️🪡🧵🫶

Thank you so much Alanda, I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and unique bag. The video is fantastic and your methods are brilliant too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊. This is a Juki 2010Q. A lot of home machines will manage to handle this. I have previously made tote bags on a Janome and a Singer. But I do have a Brother Dream Machine that really balks at bulk.
Sorry it too quick Jennifer, I'm working on it 😊. Here is a link to the step-by-step written instructions that may be helpful www.alandacraft.com/2023/11/09/quick-and-easy-tote-bag-tutorial/

I have some of my grandmother's old curtains. This is going to be oh so awesome ❤❤❤
That's a lovely idea using your grandmothers curtains Cindy😊. And she will be with you whenever you use your bag.

You can slow it down by taping on settings then playback speed.
