How to sew a Market Tote Bag with Zipper Closure and Double Drop Handles - Step by Step Tutorial

[@ginacalvello6403]

You are the Best Andrea. I just bought some Canvas and matching fabric for a lining and have been watching Your tutorials Over and Over trying to Decide which One to Make..❤❤❤

[@Sewspire]

So fun!!! I like the zipper top one the best. 👌

I have been watching so many of Andrea’s tutorials and i feel the same…i dont know which one to make first! I’m fairly new at sewing and my sister asked me to make her a case for her laptop…i havent watched this video yet but it looks like (with enough padding) it would make a nice case. ❤️

Very lovely bag. I’m waiting for some fabric to arrive and this will be the bag design for it. Very well demonstrated too. Thank you.

[@Sewspire]

I am so glad you like this bag! It's one of my top ten favorites!

[@dianeroberson249]

I made one already as a gift, making another tonight! Love it.

[@Sewspire]

That’s awesome! This bag is my go to tote!

[@lynetterene]

Now I think I'm ready to make this bag. I wasn't unsure about the design, I just had to get my head together and print the information and choose the proper fabric. 😊

Yahoo! Have fun! ❤️

@@Sewspire I sure will. I'm going to take my time and I promise to post on FB too

Love this bag. You explain everything clearly. TY

[@Sewspire]

Thank you 🙏

[@lynetterene]

She most certainly does explain everything clearly. This is what we need

[@bn1189]

Andrea I just love your tutorials.Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. You explain things very clearly making it easy to follow along. My question is can zipper tabs be added on this tote so the corners are cleaner or will there be to much bulk? My first attempt seems to have left the zipper edges sunk in.

[@Sewspire]

Thank you so much! Yes, you can add tabs to the ends!

[@amber5332]

Hi! I was wondering if you can attach inner fabric when you do the initial sewing on of the zipper?

[@colleendarkow4949]

Very nice pattern. Thank you.

[@Sewspire]

My pleasure! Glad you like it!

I love tote bags!

[@Sewspire]

Me too!

[@boonchilla]

Is it possible to do the straps with a d ring attachment instead of sewing the handles between the two fabrics? If so how would you modify this to do that instead?

[@Sewspire]

You can! Create tabs and insert those between the panels.

[@eileenmeyers6080]

I love this style. Wondering....could we cut the corners out before sewing like you did on other bags to box the corners?

[@Sewspire]

Yes, absolutely! I did that with my second one and it worked very well. Glad you like the bag! I really love it!

Cute

[@Sewspire]

Thanks!

[@SparkyOne549]

Love it! I’m going to make this. I’m in the process of designing an extra large bag, like a duffel, with a smaller but large matching bag. Because I’m going away for 2 weeks and luggage is more expensive now.

[@Sewspire]

Oh wow! Thank you for pointing that out. I bet there’s a good market for handmade travel bags. 🤔I hope you have an awesome trip!

@@Sewspire Thanks, in October I’m traveling to my sister in laws place for 2 weeks. So I do need an extra large sized bag.
