5 minutes CAN be done but not on the first bag. The first bag you are finding and prepping fabric, watching instructions over and over to get measurements, and watching how it is sewn. Also ripping off handles after I sewed to wrong side of fabric. Grrrrrr. 2nd time, After you have fabric ready to go, you can whip up this baby in 5 minutes easy!! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@AePooiM]

Wow, that's great, you can make it in 5 minutes. 👍👍 😘 🥰

[@user-ud1fo8ik2q]

Спасибо.Доступно, понятно и легко.

[@claragarcia4253]

Está muy bonita y práctica para hacer gracias gracias gracias por compartir 😘

[@ead9726]

That sounds like me 😳sewing the handles on back to front, when it was face mask wearing during the pandemic, I did that 🤦‍♀️errrrr a couple of times when making them 🤔🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I watch these tutorials a few times to get the hang (hopefully) of the instructions, then have a go. 👍Also I like the fact it is straight on with the instructions and not a long chat at the beginning, I usually give up on those, but this tutorial is 👍✔️

[@Thatsinteresting363]

A) The video that shows you how to make it is 3.5 mins, which is a 1.5 minute bonus. B) you learn it’s lined in the video (and why you should watch it to see if you like it) C) it says “small tote” in the title. D) I hate dumb comments left by equally agitating people.

[@dmbmeister0]

This tote pattern is a winner. I thought mine was easy and fast. This one is much better. Plus, anyone who sews can think of different ways to make it different sizes and purses. Making it small without straps, a button and a loop can be put on top to make it a purse. Making is quite small, it can be a gift bag for jewelry, etc. The variety is endless. Thanks so much.

[@tlsnana9539]

I don’t know what I appreciate most. . . That your finished products always look perfect and I can make it, that you show both inches and centimeters, that you have pleasant music accompaniment, or that you can fit such a brilliant project into 3-1/2 minutes. Thank you for your generosity.

[@AePooiM]

You're welcome! ❤️ So happy to hear that.

[@ummik8336]

Im new to sewing and just finished this project. Im soo happy with it! For straps I used selfmade straps from the lining so the lining and the straps match 🤗. For the outer fabric I used canvas and the lining im not sure, some army green nonstretch fabric. Thank you so much for the videos, they are very very straight forward and clear in instruction. I basicly tapped pause inbetween all the steps. I dont like the "talking trough all the steps" videos anyways. Love from The Netherlands 😘

[@mrsducky3428]

May I ask, how long did it take to assemble? Thank you!

[@lreyn2130]

I appreciate a tutorial thats easy to follow that does not require sound. And, a great process for this bag! Thank you!

I made this bag today in a spring fabric. I absolutely love it!!

[@Dashzap]

Very cute. Took me two hours as a beginner: picking materials, making straps from fabric, adding interfacing. I love the result.

[@AePooiM]

I'm so happy to hear you tried this project and that you love it! Also, congratulations on making your own bag! Enjoy using it! ♥️

[@isabellahodge4162]

I'm a sewer of 50+ years of practice, not pro but dedicated amateur. I've made way more complicated bags than this. I still think it would take me about 20 minutes to make this though, not including cutting the fabric out accurately. Also, so much of getting any bah to look nice is to press as you go, which is not shown here at all. Looks fun though, I might make a few from scrap fabric as gift bags. Also a nice project for beginners.

[@gravedigger447]

It's a very cute bag! Cutting out the fabric and lining and straps took 20 minutes 😂. Maybe I'm just very slow, but I think you're saying that it takes only 5 minutes to boost confidence in your viewers. That's very kind of you, but from my perspective this is not necessary. I don't mind working an hour on one of your lovely projects. Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@denasullivan4134]

It only took me about 5 minutes to sew! As with any job, the prep work is what takes the time. In this case, the measuring and cutting is the prep work….
