How to sew a reversible bag by Debbie Shore

An easy to sew reversible bag, perfect for holidays as you have two bags in one! This one doesn’t have a fastener as then it wouldn’t be reversible, but if you don’t want to reverse it you could add a magnetic snap or a flap to fasten.

Materials:
38” x 14” 97cm x 36cm] patterned fabric [Batik Style Cotton]
38” x 18” plain fabric [Wine Purple cotton poplin]

Debbie, I follow a few different tutors and you are far and away the best I have found. Such clear instructions and you demonstrate every step in real time, thank you, Ax

[@pamelawalker5644]

Imagine that, I just sat down today and made the pattern for your other reversible handbag much like this one. I showed my neighbor my finished bag and now she wants one. I'll be making 7 more, Christmas is coming! I love your tutorials. :)

[@maureenpitman6078]

I’ve made lots of these bags. Friends have asked me to make them one. I also made them child sized as party bags for my granddaughters party guests and they loved them.

[@valthompson2848]

Fantastic! Had a lovely time making this for my sister. Can't wait for her to see it. I'm a complete beginner and had no trouble following the instructions. Everything turned out great.

Thank you for the quick and easy, BEAUTIFUL pattern. I love it.

[@cheshkat6321]

Nice and easy to watch and listen to as well as uncomplicated to sew. This was a confidence building project for me following your tutorial a few years ago. I think I want to make this again with a matching wallet to gift for Christmas.

[@angelacarberry6055]

[@salomeferreira9664]

I love this bag! I already made 2 of them (following your previous video), one for me and one for my sister, about 2 years ago. And last week she asked me to made another with autumn colours.

[@Renbacktome]

First! Thanks for this tutorial. I love this design and colors

[@carolrichards1441]

Hi Ms Debbie. This is perfect! It is independence month here (27th October and hubby's birthday). I will make this bag in our national flag colours - blue, yellow and green. Thank you.

[@alisonwilliams5355]

I also made two of these for Christmas presents last year, from one of your books. Such an easy sew, & loved that they are reversible. Mine were for keeping knitting needles & wool in. Great video.

[@olivegobin1584]

Love love your bag. Thank you again for another wonderful bag.😘

[@lorrainemanton7481]

Remember making this my very first project a few years ago and loved making it as you always make it so easy to follow. Thank you Debbie

[@EileenR11]

[@patriciamoller3060]

[@annroberts3635]

Love this bag . Thank for sharing. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

[@janebrettell1737]

Thank you I absolutely love the bag and will be making at least one of these….🥰🥰🥰

[@debbiec9680]

I have just the fabric for this project, dragonflies for one side and the dragonfly wings for the other side.

[@christinenewell2679]

This bag was the first thing I made by watching a YTube video on my new fangled IPad😁….. some hrs ago now. I have it hanging in my bathroom with cotton wool balls and some lovely smelly things. I must make some more for Christmas gifts😘. Loved the choice of fabrics used for this bag.

[@debbieshore]

Glad you liked it!

[@christinebryant9143]

Lovely autumnal colours.

[@kerrycroom7459]

Definitely making this cute bag. Probably with some Christmas fabric

[@bethglenmaddie]

Oooh I am going to make this today if I can! It's so cute! I think I will still follow the reversible instructions but machine sew the side, I hate hand sewing. What a great bag!!

[@janmcdermid8386]

Absolutely lovely

[@jacquesslabbert1092]

love this one

[@doreenb3411]

Just finished this bag in one quick and easy evening. I like smaller bags so reduced the 19” to 17” and the 13” x 4” to 11” x 3”. I also widened the strap to 6” which gave me 1 1/2” wide finished strap. I’m not alway lucky when I make changes but this still came out perfect. May try this again with a more rectangular shape. Your videos are just that good. Thanks for fun projects😊

[@michaelag9642]

I made a longer version and love it x

[@sheilanichols3647]

Great bag! Thanks!

[@arleneoakley6812]

I love this I'll definitely be making it 😌☺

[@angelafirkins4768]

Morning Debbie xx

[@sheliacarter3150]

Love this bag

[@michaelag9642]

I prefer your older video for this at, as it’s nicer without interfacing in the main body of the bag x

[@lindamaillis8905]

Beautiful

[@angelafirkins4768]

How cute are those ducks?

[@grannyby4309]

Thank you told you I was a beginner

[@alisoncatling479]

Where are the measurements? love your tutorials Debbie. They are timeless, easy and like the other lady said make you feel so clever once you've finished.

[@michaelag9642]

There is a better older video for the same bag, it has all the measurements on it. Hope that’s helpful, I have made loads of the other bag x

[@lynetterene]

I.love.this.bag😊

[@barbararoinson4684]

hello , i just love that bag looks nice . is their a free pattern on how to cut out ?

[@billswifejo]

Hi Debbie, I’ve just made this bag and I love it, but think it would be nice with dividing section with a zip at the top. Do you have video showing how to do this please?

[@debbieshore]

I’m afraid I don’t…

[@grannyby4309]

Enjoyed your tutorial and as a beginner can’t wait to get started but no measurements

[@debbieshore]

They are all in the description box under the video

[@vaibhaviprajapati3590]

Your explanation is so good, please write a measurement

Hello Debbie, I like very much your reversible bag and would like to make it for my daughter Jane whose favourite colours they are but, I cannot find the floral batik fabric. Can you help. Please

[@lilyreyes9656]

Love all of your videos! What iron do you use?

[@martineslusarski9243]

Anyone know the measurements of this lovely bag.

[@debbieshore]

[@teresahabbe7636]

What are the dimensions of the fabric you are using?

[@debbieshore]

[@teresahabbe7636]

Sorry, can’t find the description box?

[@debbieshore]

Right unde the video...

[@MovieTube4Me]

Teresa if you are relatively new to KZbin then you probably are not aware that part of the page below video is hidden from view. Many of us new to the site don't read description part but when we do we find the words SHOW MORE highlighted or Click here for more to let us know there is further information. Presenters sometimes add this to end of their video after numerous comments stating description, materials required, instructions/pattern cannot be found below video Sometimes even when you click on show more link there is a fault in page and the presenter does indeed need to be advised so they remedy situation. Hope you found it okay

[@vaibhaviprajapati3590]

Just darling! I might make me a new bag for fall!
