Love this tote. It's a good size for me. I'm not very big and sometimes totes can be a bit overpowering on me. This one looks like it would be just right. Thank you Andrea.

[@Sewspire]

Thanks Sue! This is sized just right for personal use and I agree the bigger totes have the potential to overwhelm the body.

[@karenprim5295]

Thank you Andrea for your time and wonderful patterns and tutorials

[@Sewspire]

Thank you Karen! I appreciate your continued interest and wish you a great day too!

[@tinageorge8759]

Great tutorial as always, I sure need to get some duck canvas and give this a try, just really smart looking! 💚

[@Sewspire]

Thank you Tina! I am happy you like the bag!

[@anoif737x]

Have you written any sewing instruction books about your baga ? If so I will surely purchase.I will check Amazon.

[@Sewspire]

I do not have any written instruction books on Amazon; but, thank you for the suggestion!

[@abi2270]

Do you wash the canvas before sewing. What do you do to prevent fraying when you wash it?

[@Sewspire]

I do not prewash the material I use for bags. If you want to prewash you will need to serge the raw edges.

[@galememeeof6688]

Nice easy and versatile bag, economical too. I was just wondering if doing the gussets on the outside was just a design feature? Is it possible to do them on the inside like you usually do with the duck canvas? I love the ease of this cute bag. Looks like a perfect library book tote bag among many other things.

[@sherig.7098]

Yes, you can do the gussets on the outside of the bag, it looks neater.

[@fabulousmarilyn3.088]

I don’t have an duck fabric at the time, I do have some outdoor fabric..what you think. What would be the difference?

[@Sewspire]

Any outdoor, home decor, twill or denim material would work well Marilyn.

[@bobbidonley5158]

Love the design!

[@carolg.6838]

Thanks Andrea! I was happy to see another video posted. As always, I appreciate your designs and absolutely clear instructions and pattern measurements.

[@Sewspire]

Thank you Carol!

[@mandyjordan1096]

What a great project! I love the accent pattern on the inside. Do you recall what needle you used in your machine to sew the duckcloth?

[@shayeharris4036]

Beautiful - functional bag! What would you sell this bag for?

[@Sewspire]

$28 to $35 plus shipping and sales fees

[@shayeharris4036]

Sewspire You are my absolutely most very favorite sewing channel. Hands-down. Thank you for your reply.

[@jackiecaygle3878]

Could you use droop cloth to make this tote?

[@Sewspire]

I think so.

[@sherig.7098]

That is what I used, the drop cloth frays a lot and the true measurements aren't correct then. Would recommend using a little more yardage for it. Make sense?

[@k1533]

I can't find the PDF for this tote. Can someone direct me. I looked in Etsy shop!

[@eggpassion]

great tutorial! what sewing machine do you use?

[@Sewspire]

I have several. The Janome's are my favorites!

[@dorisosborne9981]

Did you cut the corners on the wrong side before you turned the corners up 4 inches?

[@Sewspire]

Not for the exterior. Just the interior.

[@Historical_Seamstress]

Love this Andrea! Quick question...did you pre-wash the fabric for this project? Do you ever pre-wash fabrics for projects?

[@Sewspire]

Great question! I did not prewash these fabrics and would be nervous about washing that deep red as it may bleed.

[@mary-lynnmcconnell5656]

Stupid question...why do you use 3/8” seam allowance? I use 1/4” for everything 🤔

[@iraizdiaz2579]

I don't know if I missed it but, where did you get the fabric from?

[@Sewspire]

Thanks for asking! I shopped all of the supplies for this project at Walmart.

[@madhumantibhattacharjee7685]

What can you please tell me the GSM or oz of the canvas

[@Sewspire]

10oz canvas is my preference; hope that helps you.
