How To Sew A Simple Knot Strap Bag: No-Pattern Sewing For Beginners!

Everyone loves a bag, and a sturdy tote that needs no pattern is a bonus for beginner stitchers. Made in practically any size you like, all you need is a strip of fabric that is about three times longer than it is wide. Hem the sides, knot the centre, and simply stitch into a bag shape. Make a little one to hold your phone on a night out, a tiny one for stowing dog treats and poo bags, a mid sized version for holding your knitting yarn on the go, or size up for the weekly grocery shop. This will be your new best bag!

[@prosonjit2]

I love this simple bag 🛍️

[@janaaranda9042]

This is for those of us who, like quick satisfaction or gratification when we want to make something cute and usable.

Appreciation for this informative video on no-pattern sewing. i have liked the video in that as you did i was making a follow up practically. Educational and i liked it.

[@ramnarine50]

Thank you for clarifying the measurements ❤

[@kuttfam0191]

I love this simple bag! I have three young granddaughters that would love this bag as a purse.

[@laurelb8372]

Ingenious, love this, perfect for walking the dog 🫶

[@berniecelee5062]

Thanks Corrine! I could make some of these from leftover fabric …I am into ECO bags! Thanks for the tip that length = 3 x width of fabric ..that is KEY info for making this bag. French seams and boxing the corners - very good 👍 tricks to making this more fray resistant and neater in carrying stuff with structural form. This is great for shopping the fabric bins with end pieces , at very economical prices. Hmmm … I think that’s what I will do and give some bags to neighbours for Easter. The world could do with more kindness and neighbourly love . Happy Easter Corrine ! God Bless you ❤

I love this bag!! I would like to try to make some.

[@debbiedobbins6785]

This is soooo cute. I have 6 grands coming over tomorrow and I think this is the perfect little project to have them make. I think I’ll try one on the serger for the side seams. Thanks for taking the time to show us something new yet simple. 😊

Great project for teaching kids to sew! I love your tutorials! Thank you very much.🤩

Yes, shouldn't be too difficult to do and the knot is an added interesting bit, c x

[@tggamingupdate5854]

this is a nice video❤

[@charityrochford2175]

I also love that I can use larger pieces of fabric and make bigger bags. I bought a dozen bolts of cotton fabrics because a shop near me was closing and I’m always looking for ideas on how to use them.

[@TheCraftsChannel]

There's nothing worse than a fabric shop sale is there? 😆c x

[@charityrochford2175]

I just made one! What do you have in the small bag to keep it standing up? Mine flops!

[@TheCraftsChannel]

I think I'd put a load of cotton reels in there which spread the base out to keep the handle upright, c x

[@snf1772]

Where have you gone. Love the bag

It's been a long time I know... I'm finally back to answer queries but not sure when we'll get back to filming. I'm much greyer now 🤣 c x

Hi

[@debbiehall4155]

So cute! Did you measure 1” to make the boxed corner? How do you know how big to make the box corner? Is there any kind of ratio?

[@TheCraftsChannel]

You can make the box bottom to any measurement you like depending on whether you want a long, rectangular base or a squatter, squarer one. I usually just line the point up with the right side of my bobbin cover rather than measure it! c x
