- How to sew a lined tote bag for beginners - easy tutorial!
Making a tote bag is easier than you think! All you need for this project is:
-2 pieces of fabric for the outside
-2 pieces of fabric for the inside
I used 4 pieces that all measured 16.5" by 18", but you can use different dimensions too! Just make sure they are all the same size.
-2 24" straps which you can make from 48 inches (finished length) of 4" strips of fabric. I got this by joining 2 long strips of 4" fabric together.

Wonderful tutorial, thank you. This is the first actual thing I have ever made on the sewing machine I have had for 20 years and I am so pleased with it! It looks great and you can't even tell that I can not sew a straight line to save my life LOL!
Thank you for a great, quick and easy (to understand) tutorial! I appreciate simple camera angles and clear instructions 🤗. Can't wait to sit at my machine and be a busy bee!
Glad it was helpful!
Just what I was looking for. Thank you! It is a fun tradition you have to make your children a bag every year.
Thank you!
Made a tote bag last night! Thanks for the step by step. Great tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Love the easy to follow video and soothing music in the background! Can’t wait to get back into sewing with your help.
yay! glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to make this tote bag as my give away for my 70th birthday. Simple and easy to follow.😍😍, have subscribed and liked
aw thanks so much!
Made the tote bag today. Easy to follow your instructions. Added an inside pocket and some decoration on the outside. Turned out great. Thanks!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for letting me know!
I made custom dimensions and decided to add interfacing to the outside layer, but otherwise used your instructions for my tote bag and I’m so happy with the results. Thank you for this tutorial!
How do you add interfacing what does that help with?
@@jailynallen9891 you just cut it to the same size as your outside layer and iron it onto the wrong side of the fabric. It's not neccesary, but just a personal preference to help give the bag a little stiffness and body.
Gives cotton more body for a bag vs stiffer upholstery fabric.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you I have just made my first ever bag with your helpful tutorial. Love it
yay! that's awesome!
Thankyou so much for clear simple concise instructions.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I just saw this video about a month ago and have made about 7-8. Sew easy, I love it

Your video was clear and concise! I made the straps a bit longer as the bag is a gift for a taller friend. It turned out perfectly!
Wonderful! Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful demo of a Lovely bag!!

This will be my first sewing project and this was so thorough for my ADHD brain, who has a hard time with instructions! Thank you!

I needed a quick "gift wrap" and had some fabric that was perfect for the giftee. Thank you for a quick and easy lesson in my first bag. The seams are's pretty, but I think it'll do! Happy Holidays to you!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m helping a 9 year old neighbor her first ever sewing project. She did a scrappy patchwork for the outer layer. Out of all the available tutorials this was best. Halfway through she decided to enter it in the Colorado State Fair. So we’ll see! 🤞🏼
Excellent tutorial
thank you so much!
Thank you so much Liz! I successfully followed this tutorial (as well as your how to put a zip in lining) to make a beautiful bag I am proud of. It’s a present for my sister and I think she’ll love it. Xxx

Thank you for your easy tutorial where did you get your iron? Thank you ❤
Just made one now! Impulsively did it at midnight and finished at 4am haha. I wanted to make one for my partner 🥰
I finished mine in 1 hour.
Great job!
Wow! That's awesome :).
It's such an easy pattern I stitched two today. Not sure how to share the pictures with you.
Yay! Good job! If you're on Instagram - tag me! @no_trace_shop or join the facebook group - link is in the description!
Thank you for this video! What is the one called that you show how to put in a pocket?
I show you how to add a simple pocket in this video: ua-cam.com/video/1PpeH5SQp7k/v-deo.htmlsi=AIg6rFkKoxdOCKnS :)
cool bag,i was wondering what kind of fabric are you using to line this tote bag with?please let me know because i want to make a tote bag my daughter?
Very helpful tutorial. Can I please know the name of the board with inch squares, which you placed the material and machine on. Can I also know where I can order it. Thank you
It's a self-healing quilting mat. I have some by Olfa, Fiskars, and U.S. Art Supply. You should be able to order them online on Amazon or other sites :).
Quick question if you do not have a iron what else can someone use to iron? We just moved into our house not to long ago and do not have a iron yet lol
Hi - you can also press with your fingers or a finger pressing tool :)!
How many yards of fabric would you recommend for each piece ? 1 yard for each 2 squares ?
You could cut all 4 panels out of 1 yard or 2 1/2 yards :)
Maybe a dumb question, but doesn’t cutting the squares from the corners then leave you with loose thread that doesn’t have a backstitch?
Never a dumb question! Yes it does but when you sew the corners again you will sew over those original seams so that they are locked in place again. Hope that helps!
The first one I made came out great. Then I made one with pockets. I kept the right sides together….the pockets, but then they ended up being on the wrong side of the lining 😖. Time for the seam ripper…
Ah sorry! Seam ripper time... :)
That would be great to learn how to do a zipper on the bag!
great idea!
What is the finished size of this tote?
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
What if you're using just one long strap?
That might work - maybe sew it in the center? Or on the side seams? Good luck!
Could you do this without putting two layers one inside the other couldn't you just put two layers of material and sew them and cut them all together and then turn the whole thing right side out
Dilinizi bilmediğim için, sizi anlamadım, keşke yazarak tarif etseydiniz...mesela ölçüleri nedir?
Ölçüler cm olarak verilse daha anlaşılır olur.
Use the clips- not pins- otherwise it’s ok-Thanks
It is easy to follow you. However, it would be much better if you could remove the music. 😊
I'd leave the opening on the side. Music is very annoying!
Why wouldn’t you just cut 2 x 24 inches pieces for the handles instead of mucking around with all that extra fabric and having an unnecessary join. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Helloooooo I’m new to your channel and I just joined and I hear the music while you are talking 😢 to which I going to ask nicely unless someone has already asked to STOP the annoying music 😊 thank you very very much
I agree
Grow up 😂
I don’t know why such you tubers put a background music when they are explaining something ? This is just nonsense and distracting.
Wash fabric first
Why is there music playing in the background? It's very annoying. I won't subscribe.
