Fabric Mesh Tote Bag

Mesh bags can stand on their own, just think how handy that can be :) And it is really easy to sew too!

Thank you for showing how to bind the seams. Great bag.

[@graciewhite9325]

Thank you, Laura, for your easy-to-understand instructions on making this mesh bag. I made one for our son using black mesh and Star Wars fabric with yellow trim. It turned out beautiful! I wish I could post a picture to show you!

[@catty2chatty]

I've had a very similar pattern for almost a year now, but didn't understand it. The roll of the mesh the woman sold me, doesn't match the measurements in the pattern instructions. I also do better with following along in a video than just with reading a pattern. I will just change the pattern measurements to match this one, so thank you so much Laura! You make it 'sew very easy', with your clear and concise demonstrations.

[@sheilawarner6277]

I made several of these for my family and continue to get requests it's such a great bag

[@pamhutchinson6120]

Laura… I did it! Thank you so much. I have made these bags with a different pattern and they didn’t turn out half as nice. Thank you for these videos and I will definitely be stopping by ThatSewing Place!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Thank you so much for giving us all the details and what’s the best way to sew the bag I really love how The end results came out awesome job thanks for sharing❣️🪡✂️🧵💖💗❤️💕💓

[@veevee111]

Some mesh fabric is kinda stretchy, unfortunately, that's what I currently have in my stash. I'll have to purchase some in person so I can feel the sturdiness of it. You are an amazing instructor, Laura. Your demonstration, clear explanation, and attention to detail gives me the encouragement I need to give this tote bag a try. Thanks for sharing 💜

[@susanwestbrook5415]

Virginia Valentin Hello Virginia. The mesh she is using here is vinyl mesh. A similar product is pet screen. The stretchy kind of mesh is generally used for pockets in handbags like those found in designs ByAnnie.

Great bag pattern . I might make one as a produce bag for groceries. Easy to wash and dry after use, if needed. Good beach bag, especially for toys and other sandy items.

If you put the mesh at the bottom it would be great for kids' beach toys. Give it a shake and all of the sand stays at the beach!

[@michellebozievich2693]

I love making these bags; however, I have a hard time sewing the 3.25 strip straight on the mesh ends. not sure what I am doing wrong! Maybe I need more pinning?

[@carolynnscoffield440]

Is there a printable instruction sheet like you’ve shown in the video available anywhere? For free or for purchase?

[@cherylp4997]

What is the weight of the mesh you used? I see there are different weights (light/medium) on the website. Thanks again for sharing this fun project tutorial!

[@brendarolfe5563]

Where do I buy bag mesh? Please. I love this I will have to find more of their patterns

[@abitofsewing3750]

I asked the same question, that mesh is different from the mesh I have, my mesh is slouchy😂

[@ChuckandTeena]

Can you still get that pattern? I couldn't find it listed on their website.

[@debbiebanner717]

I can't find the written instructions. The link only shows pictures of bag.

[@latinaintexas2872]

2:17 Hello, are you sewing a 1/4 seam on the tube you made? Thank you.

[@abitofsewing3750]

Love that bag, you could pack a lot into it, where did you purchase the mesh?

[@sewcrazybaker]

I found the mesh at my favorite quilt shop. I have several pieces in different colors. Just call around to different quilt shops to see if they carry it.

[@lenaeschneider9596]

Instead of binding the inner seams, would it work to serge them?

[@khadijehkadkhodaie8344]

Very good

[@karenmowers2294]

What size seams? I am a quilter and always go to 1/4 inch but I am guessing this needs a little more. thanks

[@latinaintexas2872]

Hello, I'm thinking of making your Beach Tote with a T shirt, Would that be okay?

[@michellebozievich2693]

Would a French seam work for the sides?

[@sallyschilling1559]

At my local Joann's in Massachusetts they sell something called pet screening material... might this work? Unfortunately, it comes only in black.

[@19sman74]

Don't see why it wouldn't. Would be nice to have a different color though.

[@jackierand4045]

I use that all the time - have gotten mine at Walmart. Black is the only option there as well however with so many different fabrics to choose from I haven’t found the black to be an issue 😊

Hi Laura. Has anyone mentioned they aren't getting your video notifications? I am a subscriber & always got them except for the last month or so. I unsubscribed, subscribed again & clicked the bell for all notifications. Still not getting them.

[@nancydebiasio5273]

Laura can you tell me where you got your cutting mats? I noticed they have almost a puzzle piece to connect them. I purchased one with a clear top and the grids underneath and I don't like it. I wanted larger but its difficult to see the numbers underneath. I like that idea your using much better.

[@mbcalderwood]

will you link where you ordered your Vinyl Mesh from?

[@michellebozievich2693]

Do the pockets need any flex foam or soft and stable?

[@richafig]

I've made over 30 bags and only use cotton fabric. No need for interfacing. You could add it, but I think it would make sewing the straps down a bit difficult.
