DIY Reversible Tote Bag | Sew-It-Yourself

[@janhaga5297]

I followed your instructions as I was teaching my 11 year old granddaughter how to make a tote for her to take to school. It turned it so cute. Thank you for such great instructions.

[@joantardiff8419]

I have made several tote bags following various KZbin videos. I must say that yours is the best and I will use your tutorial from now on. Your instructions are easy to follow, you keep your words to a minimum, no annoying background music, and your annunciation is clear and easy to follow. It was a pleasure to work along with you. Wish I could send you photos of my success! Thank you!

[@nancyalmasaood2955]

I’ve watched 100’s of these and you were the easiest to follow thanks so much. You also have a very calming voice.

[@kendalton653]

I make tote bags to hold Prayer Shawls that we give to people in their time of need. This bag turned out beautifully. I am glad I took up sewing when I could no longer crochet. I will continue to use your site because it is so helpful.

[@mmim7476]

Many thanks for excellent tutorial which also helps people with directional dyslexia. Demonstrating with your hands, the length and width makes things clearer and is often overlooked which is very frustrating. Most people may take this for granted but some, like me, have problems with this skill. Great that you've addressed it. Highly commended. Takes me a long time to learn and this helped enormously.

[@hhspore]

Really clever methodology. still so relevant after so many years. Thank you for sharing this genius approach. Love it ! God bless !

[@memo182]

Thank you! It was easy to follow, I dont have sewing machine so I did it all by hand. It took me like 3 hours. I did it for my mom for New Years Eve gift. She loved it. Regards from Mexico City.

[@janeveinotte9850]

there is a no sew stitch witchery kinda like iron glue u can use if you have on machine might help some but um sure it was a wonderful bag made with love that the good kind of bag to have and cherish forever lucky mom

[@RehanaF13]

I did a few by hand myself...even a couple small ones I can keep my phone and wallet in. Like a small phone purse. I added a long strap to both sides too. Can be worn as a crossbody purse, or held by the two side handles. I didn’t make the strap or handles. They were bought from Joann’s. Saves a lot of time and easier 🙂

[@shaash5236]

Oh darling….. your mum must have been so happy! Well done

[@dorad.711]

Finally a normal, easy video tutorial!!! Thank you!!!!

[@kathykaura7219]

I just finished a bag like this one by following your example, except it's huge; duffle size. I used a thin upholstery clothe that is to die for and it turned out perfect. Thank you for the video. You are helping people everywhere to be successful. Bravo.

[@barbra429]

Just a tip that I found really helpful is to fuse your interfacing to the fabric before cutting the piece out. That way when you cut it you don't have to trim around the edges it is perfectly fused and even.

[@marytringale3314]

❤

[@marsbeads]

you can cut your fusible fleece a little smaller than your fabric, so that you don't have any of the fleece in the seams. Cuts down on the bulk in the seams.

[@leslieschmidt1508]

I just made four of these bags, making two at a time. The first two took 5 hours because I had to stop and watch the video and do each step. Lots of sewing and pinning, but worth the effort. The second two I made 3 inch squares and I like the bag better as it is wider and only 1 inch shorter. Love the fusible fleece inside. Wish the lining were heavier or attached more but it's awesome. Great Christmas gifts for the family.

[@cheryltarkington7839]

Thanks so very much for the written instructions to go along with the video. I often do that for myself. I also appreciate the tips.

[@peace102]

Off all the totes I've done this is one of my absolute favorite! I love your technique with pulling it through. That was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@rachaeldelvaille3886]

This video is still my go-to when I want to make a tote bag-love this teacher's style!

[@shonlee5584]

I like how detailed and patient you are to take everyone through this tutorial. You are by far the best coach i've watched. Hoping that you will do a video on how to sew a wrap dress soon. I will be looking out. Thanks Beverly.

[@mother2bach]

I’m so glad I found your excellent tutorial. I’d never made a bag before, but I’ve made a bunch of these bags now, for myself and for gifts. I’ve had loads of fun experimenting with different pockets, more pockets… outside pockets… and I’ve made a bigger tote for the beach. Thank you for your perfectly clear instructions :)

[@darlenedealy217]

Great tutorial, loved the fact that you PRESSED as you went along, so many videos and hardly anyone presses, it makes a difference in the finished project

[@marybailey6533]

I made one only made it larger! I needed one to carry all my 90 yr old moms stuff when going to out! Was perfect!! Thank you very much

[@lindashaffer8808]

Love Your Video !!! You're such a great teacher and show every step in great detail... Not a lot of nonsense talk... After watching I feel I can make this. I've always wanted to know how to make a Lined Tote Bag and now I can Thanks to your generosity and Skills.....

[@rscott9639]

Awesome tuturial. I watched the video several times and finally made myself a bag. Since then I've gotten several requests to make and sell them($35 each) I will eventually try to add a zipper. I use upholstery fabric on one side and normal fabric on the other. Thank you so much!

[@susankitchens2516]

I made a bag for my four sisters and they loved them. So quick, easy and professional looking, or so they said🤣🤣

[@quailhollow7955]

This is one of the best tutorials ever. You are an excellent teacher.

[@ClaireSophia]

that bag is so cool and I totally love the fact that it is reversible! adorable fabrics too

[@firegirl1970]

I've made several of these totes and sold them after watching your tutorial. It was very easy to follow. Thank you.

[@spaintown100]

i'm looking for someone to make sample tote bags. if you are you game - [e-mail]....thx

[@almaingraham7863]

Beverly you are the greatest teacher, I can understand you very well.

[@karenbensdon4643]

Love the sewing tips and amount of body the bag has (just enough but not too stiff).

[@RehanaF13]

Lovely and easy bag. No pattern which is great! I’ve made a few of these already and given a few as gifts. Thanks for the great tutorial. You’re a super teacher. Just an idea, you can skip making the handles by scratch. You can also purchase the straps to use as handles in your local arts/ crafts or sewing store like Joann’s. They have them on a roll where you can have them cut it for you by the yard. That’s usually what I do. Saves me a lot of time and looks like store bought 🙂

[@rachelhkaplan]

Thank you SO much!!! I just bought my first sewing machine this week... and now I can't believe I already have an amazing tote bag!!! Great video.

[@betsyhaines8623]

Welcome to the world of sewing I have been sewing for 60 years and love it every day.

[@celticknot226]

Cute bag! Like how the corners are done. Less bulk. Like how you added the fusible fleece over the whole panel. I did one where they only had it on the bottom.

[@Mrs.T13]

Thanks for this tutorial. I followed every step (except the fleece part) and it came out amazing!!!!!

[@JackieOdonnel]

I love the fabric you used for this tutorial (both the outer fabric and the lining) and your instructions were perfectly clear! Thank you.

[@praveensamvel4145]

Thank you so much my mom has been following your tutorial, and stitched 3 bags wit it's help

[@janeveinotte9850]

[@debracotter2143]

I just finished making one of these bags for my dog (yes, even dogs need tote bags!!) and it came out perfect. Thank you for this tutorial, it was easy to follow and easy to make.

[@huebinhtrinh4830]

Love your bag and especially love how you talk us through the making process. It is extremely helpful learning it this way. I will definitely pick this design to try. Thanks very much.
