I use blue tape to hold down the straps to make sure I don't tangle them up in sewing. Works or me. Thanks

I wish some other videos would have told me that the selvage edge was the straight one and to measure from that one ! I thank you and I always learn something.!!!! I should have remembered that from my 4-H days.

Hi from South Australia Tracy! 😃 Well you've done it again!! A very easy Tote Bag, with lining too! Great job!! SEW fabulous!! Thank you for all your hard work, taking 10 hours to get it all finished and uploaded to KZbin. Great job!! I will certainly be sharing your channel with the Craft Group ladies who are still going to the Group that I started at my Church. I used to teach Beginner's Quilting there, but my health unfortunately made me have to stop running it, and teaching. I loved teaching other people how to start quilting. Seeing their joy when they finished a project was so great. Thank you again for being a fun, great teacher!! I love watching your tutorials. Love from the land of Oz. Sue xx

[@jayamilapersson4030]

I would have a lining fabric and a bigger then a FQ to get a bigger bag and just make that french seam the whole side and underseam. Using about 1/2 yard of fabric for front and the same for lining(because I like different lining then my top fabric and you can actually turn it inside out depending on mood and if you have double amount of straps you can sew it to a circle then fold it over and under the raw edge you get the same look when doing so and when turned you sew the lining strap and the top strap together so instead of 4 straps you get 2 inforsed ones.) as this looks like a small tote in the end. With the contrasting fabric it would be 1yard(90-95 cm²)+ 1/4to 1/2 of a yard( at least 20-30X100cm).

You have shown us how to sash them together with the lovely floral contrast and it looks fabulous. My question is, have you a video of it completed? Is so, where can I find it please. I can't not mention your stunning rose quilt too. Love, love, love it.

I made this with my granddaughter. She picked out her fabric and handles and was so proud of her finished product. We did have to adapt it a little. I think the fabric handles should have been 24 inches long instead of the 12 inches in the script. But overall a very nice tutorial! Wish we could send a picture.

[@carolynl4249]

This is such a clever design. I made one, and I love it! You say we need two 12-inch nylon straps, but I think you meant two 24-inch straps. The top strip of fabric is 4 inches when folded over, so when we sew both sides of the strap to it, that is 4 inches on each end, and they are 6 inches apart.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Someone else mentioned that too🤷🏻‍♀️ Mine is a tiny tote.....so I think that is where the confusion is....mine are shorter than norm I think. Sorry if it messed things up for you.💛

[@carolynl4249]

@@TheSewingChannel I used exactly the measurements you gave: 22x8, 22x17.5 and two 12" straps. Using those measurements for the top and bottom pieces, a 12" strap is not long enough. The first 4" and the last 4" of the strap are sewn onto the trim piece. That leaves just 4" in the middle of the strap remaining but you measured 3" left and right from the center, and that equals 6" between. The strap wouldn't even reach flat much less allow extra for a handle to grip.

[@DebbyRoad]

I could tell right away that the making of must have taken a lot of time because it’s such a great video with really good edits! …so I guessed right on your question how long this making of took you to make. (I’ve watched all the commercials as a thank you Tracy😅) Btw, I love the quilt in the back!

[@petmomful2260]

That is very clever.

[@theREmissionary]

I put my marks on the outside of my straps because it works better for me. Other than that, I don't think I'd do anything else differently from you. Kinda reminds me of making a shirt with a yoke. 🙂 This can be boxed to make it have a bottom, like your other one that wasn't lined, right?

[@patriciaberne613]

Tracy: I have made several bags and was just looking at how to place the straps on correctly before sewing. Do you have a tutorial that shows the correct placement of handles so that they are “not twisted.” Thanks a million! Pat

[@heatherviars1526]

Started making this, got to the part with handles and realized you gave the wrong measurement. You said the handles are supposed to be 12" each but that makes them so short they don't reach over the top band. Think you meant 24". Otherwise this has been really easy and I love the concept. Maybe you could put the size measurements for everything in the note?

[@PCOH051610]

So, is the correction 24 inches for each strap or 12?

[@heatherviars1526]

@PCOH051610 24" each otherwise they are just tiny hand straps instead of a regular carry length. Try laying out the strap on the bag piece before you cut it to size to see how long you want the handle to be when it's done. 24" for each one looked good to me but you might like a shorter or longer length

[@ccw2160]

Awesome! Your bags are beautiful! What are the measurements for the one bigger bag on your left side? I’m wanting to make a bag for my granddaughters sleepovers. Thank you for your tutorial! I’m a beginner and I’m learning and loving to sew. You do a good job. 🤗

Instead of centering the straps on the mark, move the mark in to the center of each side by 1/2" so the inside of each one will be 2 1/2" from the center. (5" apart)

Thank you Tracey, for your reply and excellent tutorial. I was puzzled about straps, as I had made them 12” long and on viewing this, your handles fall below end of bag when tacking. But mine were just below top. So I guess it must be12”when 24” folded. Beautiful bag. Have a good day Tracey, Edel

Once it's folded 1 time and then you bring folded edge over...leave 1/2" of the raw edge out compared to folded part. Mark middle and draw line leaving that half inch out...then measure it out from there...sounds more confusing than it is ...sorry.
