The Process of Making My Tote Bag inspired by Marc Jacobs "The Tote Bag"

[@cynthiaallen6523]

I like this pattern. However, I think the measurements of the totes the "D" is for the depth; which would be how wide (the base) the bag would be. I love the fabric. Keep these videos coming.

You are correct. It’s the depth measurement. I believe I kept saying “diameter”. 🙄 Lol! Thank you so much for watching!

[@LaraSchiffbauer]

loved the video and cant wait to see the finished bag! thanks for sharing your process!

[@martikajmakes]

Absolutely! I can't wait either...LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@Nannypie2]

Good video! I enjoyed seeing the process for making your bag. Now I’m going to peruse my pattern and fabric stashes!

[@martikajmakes]

Yes! It's amazing what we find in our own stashes! Thanks for watching!

I have this pattern sitting in my stash. I. Purchased some leather about seven years ago ( wanted to get into wallet making) I'm going to bite the bullet and make me a bag. Thank you, for the inspiration. Martika.❤

[@martikajmakes]

DO IT!!! You’re going to love this pattern! You are welcome and thank you!

[@MicheleStorkson]

I can’t wait to see your bag after you make it! I have never made a bag before, maybe you’ll inspire me! I’d love to see how yours turns out😊

[@martikajmakes]

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished results myself, LOL! You should definitely try a bag. They're different and they're a lot of fun to make. Thanks for watching!

I’ve been 💤😴🛌sleeping on the “big 5” patterns for totes and purses. I just might have to pick this one up! Side note: This information may be in the directions - cut interfacing without the seam allowance (this keeps the bulk down and makes the item easier to sew).

[@martikajmakes]

Oh my! Definitely pick you up some bag patterns. It's a great switch up when you want to sew but don't want to sew a wearable. I'm not sure if that side note is in the directions, but it's definitely helpful. Thank you and thanks for watching!
