Let's Create a Tote Bag in Any Size - Step-by-Step Sewing Tutorial

[@terrydunham5292]

I have literally watched hundreds of You Tube videos on how to sew a tote/shopping bag; and, I haven’t seen any that are as concise and detailed as yours! You have helped me immeasurably. I have promised two of my granddaughters that I would make them totes for birthday/graduation and didn’t know how to create my own size and you have showed me how to do it effectively. Thank you so very much! I will gladly use your worksheets to customize the bags.

Thank You !! Thank You !! I found this measurement sheet to calculate and make covers for some boxes that I turned upside down to cover my sewing machines when I am not using them vs. using the fabric covers that came with the machines ( they look so much neater). But, after a few failed attempts at making the covers I scoured the internet to find the perfect measurements and came across your video. After seeing how you calculate it I can honestly say I am a little disappointed in myself because you have simplified something that I just could not wrap my head around. So, you have saved my day !! I have made two of them and they both turned out perfect !!

Rosie, I've been sewing totes for YEARS and never really got the desired measurements right. Your tute is a real eyeopener for me!!! I'm gobsmacked! No one ever mentions accomodation the seam allowances to the overall cut. Its so easy to confuse me as I get on in my years but this is a video that have have marked in several places AND I have downloaded the pdf worksheet! I can't thank you enough for sharing your time and talent with us. You inspire me to be a better sewist.

Thank you for the helpful worksheet; it was exactly what I needed to figure out how to make a tote for my Featherweight case. I really appreciate your video, too.

Hello. Now, I'm no longer afraid to do the French seams. TYSM for sharing this informative video with us. Love your channel.

Thank you, Rosie! This is such a helpful tutorial! The worksheet will definitely save me a lot of time and headaches! 😊❤

[@Jckay2003]

Hi Rosie. Thank you for the worksheet. I’ve used it and it is a great tool. Maybe in the future you can teach us how to modify the worksheet to add a zippered closure or recessed zipper.😁

[@nanettejernigan7338]

That would be wonderful! My first thought as well, after flying Frontier with one bag for a quick, cheap trip to Vegas

[@rollingbnb2146]

Very clear explanations! I wondered about making the French seam on the boxed bottom, but now I understand how it can be done. Thanks.

Excellent tutorial and thank you for the worksheet ..I am beginner in sewing and this worksheet will help me a lot ..just wanted to know what is the size of needle used ? Thank you ...Greetings from India

[@beckyolencki4830]

Thanks for the tutorial and worksheet! I have never sewn on waxed canvas. What size needle do you use and do you use a special thread?

[@BeckyInCa]

Thank you. Where can I find the chalk wheel you use. A link would be wonderful.

[@RosiesArtStudio]

It is made by Clover and you can find it anywhere. Try Amazon or a local quilting shop.

[@BeckyInCa]

@@RosiesArtStudio - - Thank you 😊

[@derrillcleary7682]

How do I print your work sheet pattern

[@arianafranco2199]

does it have to be in inches can i still do 10cm divided by two

[@dankelley4703]

Thanks Rosie. Where do you find waxed canvas? What weight is used for totes and bags?

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I like to buy it from Big Duck Canvas and it is 10 ounce. There is more info in the description below the video.

[@dankelley4703]

@@RosiesArtStudio I found your link (didn’t see it before!) and used that. I think they are out of stock at the moment but I’ll use your link when they have some. Thanks.
