SOME NEW FABRICS! | Sewing & Lining A Tote Bag On A Sewing Machine

So for today's sewing machine project, I decided to hopefully go back to basics and attempt sewing and lining a tote bag on my sewing machine! And as soon as I started this sewing project with my cut patterns of fabric, I was very sceptical I was actually going to end up lining this tote bag, if I even managed to sew a tote bag in the first place! But weirdly enough the tote bag started to come along and I felt like I could start to envisage what this tote bag was going to look like. I definitely think I challenged myself with some fabrics that weren't the best when it came to my sewing machine, but I finally got the hang of it and successfully managed to sew and line a reversible tote bag, with handles from scratch! I was very please with myself! So now I need to know what my next sewing machine project will be!? Feel free to leave your sewing ideas in the comments below!

Can't believe I accidently made more than I was supposed to! 😅🤩

[@Stitchfix234]

You made exactly what you planned to and it went fabulously! I was sat at the edge of my seat the entire time thinking omg don't let it go wrong! Only suggestion is maybe you need to lengthen your stich length a bit if you're having to pull the fabric so hard. Or invest in a walking foot

[@AnthonyCrammen]

@Stitchfix234 Ah thank you, oh I'll have to look into that! 😁

[@coletteduran457]

For sure a walking foot would make the process that much easier. I am so happy for your success!! Nice job! More than nice job, outstanding!

[@angelaspurway1423]

I think its great. Absolutely love the multi coloured material. Xx 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Now you have a beach bag you need to a make a swimming costume to put in it. Though you could start with a towel, then work on the beach body.

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Oh can you imagine! 🤣🤣

​@@AnthonyCrammen With a photo reference and some imagination. Yes

That turned out great! Love that colorful fabric. And loved even more how pleased you were with it! You should do sewing tutorials...they would be so much fun and definitely not boring at all!!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks! 😁😁

So proud of you with your accidental reversible apple-hobo-beach bag! Bravo!! It's so fun to shock yourself with an over the top success 😊. Glad your nose has been taken care of too.

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! 😊😊

[@heidiphillips6866]

Great job! I’m so excited for you to use it! I think it’s confidence boosting to watch someone else make something. You’re amazing Anthony❤ ❤ 😊

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! 😊😊

[@ritawilbur6128]

It looks fabulous! I love the little trim matching the handles. I'm so impressed with how you're figuring out all the mechanics as you go, rather than using a pattern. I can't wait to see what you make next! Now if you want to take it to the next level, if you have identical pieces to cut out, rather than cut them all out individually, you can layer or stack the fabric and cut them all out at the same time! But beware: if it's a piece that has a shape that isn't symmetrical, you will need to worry about right side and wrong side of the fabric. But once you figure that out, it will make the cutting part a lot faster!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! 😊😊 Oh I'll try and remember that next time! 😁😁

[@EmmaCarinaG]

What a brilliant bag 😍 proud of you! It's definitely giving beach vibes 🏖️

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks Emma! 😊😊

[@Stitchfix234]

Omg look at you! I'm so proud of you... That looks flipping fantastic... See patterns make things so much better!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks!! 😁😁

[@sherijohnson8247]

I love everything about this!!!! 😍💖 AND it's reversible and maybe waterproof because of the fabric choice? GENIUS!😊

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks! 😊😊

Fantastic job, very colourful material.

I love how the Thumbnail says "Tote!?" In German this is as if there would be written "Dead people!?" 😂 I'm happy you had such a huge success! The bag looks great!😊💕

[@jenjenv.t.7602]

Amazing job Ant! You have every right to feel passionate about your bag, go on and revel in your glorious success! 😊 it's been really cool seeing your sewing skills progess and I really like the fabrics you chose too! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you!! 🥰🥰 Hope you have a lovely weekend too! 😊😊

[@bobherbert4365]

I am just done. You capital "Worker", really got the job done. I need a vest.

[@kristajones815]

That came out awesome! I learned how to sew by sewing barbie clothes 😂 my mom was a saint and had way more patience than i gave her credit for!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Haha 😆😆

[@QuarterClaws]

If you're feeling confident with your sewing, the ultimate challenge would be a long furby 😂

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Oh I've seen them! 🤣🤣

[@areie2051]

Ant i have been watching your videos since your marble mugs video I think like 5-6 years ago. Might have been a short maybe? I am so amazed at how far you have come. Watching you grow as a youtuber has been so much fun. You should be so proud of yourself! I know Im proud of you (dont know if I have a right to be but I am LOL). Your videos always brighten my day and I thank you so much for that. Sending ya lots of love!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Oh wow that was a lonnnnnnnnnnng time ago!! 🤣🤣 Thanks for tuning in for all these years, you deserve a medal! 😆😆 Ah and thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Coyo-Tea]

Ant that is bloody brilliant for a person who hasn’t sewing lessons. I had lessons and it’s better than I could make my lovely. Seeing you so proud of it is wonderful and rightly so that you should be so chuffed with yourself. You have done yourself proud. ❤ How is your nose now ? All healed I hope and what were the lab results nothing horrible I hope ? I can’t wait to see what you make next sweetie ❤❤ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you!! 😊😊 All healed now thanks! And I haven't recieved a follow up yet so I'm assuming it's going to be nothing lol

[@sandyshue8913]

I LOVE how excited you are about making this bag! Great job! I love that bag it’s beautiful!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! 😊😊

[@alicedowntherabbithole4226]

I'm so excited that you are so excited! It looks great!!🎉 I think you should make a mini quilt!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! 😊😊 Oh a quilt would be fun! 😁😁

Fantastic job, Ant! You’ve come a long way. Congratulations…I’m so happy for you. 😊

[@lynneewer1500]

I am so sooooo SOOOOO proud of you right now. Well done Ant! So good to see you excelling at something you have wanted to do for so very long. I love watching you put your learning together as you go. Thank you for taking on all that your fans have been telling you. When you mentioned seam allowance, I smiled. That is one beautiful reversible lined bag and I would use it for apples for sure! Can’t wait to see what’s next. Big love from my house to yours.❤ 19:17

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks Lynne! 😊😊

[@amandafulton6895]

Great job!!!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Thank you! 😊

[@Lsurah]

I love it! it came out so good Ant! you did right making the more rigid/waterproof fabric the liner. you want it to do the work of keeping things from leaking and keeping any messes that could potentially happen out of sight. and the outer shell stays pretty and shows no sign of the chaos inside. Kinda like us anxious people! lol! My first ever unsupervised sewing project was a set of puffy valance curtains back in the day lol. Great job Ant!! Oh! ETA: for your patterns, use large tracing paper, it's thinner and more flexible and easier to work with.

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! Oh I'll have to invest in some, using parcel paper at the mo to save me buying any 😆😆

[@sarahmallonee]

Awesome job Anthony you slayed it! You might consider doing the seam ripper to take the handles off and then reapply them the correct direction so that your bag will be completely perfect and you'll love it even more but it's really awesome as is and you need so it's up to you really. It would be so cool to see you make like a bag for your art supplies or like a rolling pencil case or something to store some of your art supplies or your sketches or something in lol that would be cool for your next project. Have a good one sweetie and I can't wait to see your next sewing adventure💙💚💜

[@alexiscraftyourlifeaway9587]

I can't laugh without it. Hurting it was so funny watching your face. Try to figure out inside out for the lining. It looks good.

[@cblaney3931]

Oh good, I thought, he's got the sewing machine out again. Sorry, typo, I meant 'Oh God!!' 😜 I think you'd need a special 'foot' for your sewing machine, called a walking foot, for that type of material (oil cloth I think it is from your description). Great thinking and working out stuff out, and doing the prep. You did an AMAZING job Ant. Agree re the handles, but who cares! You made that bag yourself, and it's FAB. Off to Tesco you go for some posh apples lol

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Haha ah thanks! 😁😁

[@deathbearbrown]

this is so impressive! amazing job! ❤❤❤

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you!! 🥰🥰

[@vincentb5391]

So so proud of you! You're really learning so much! Also agreed that stuff you make yourself is always better and more special than anything you can buy Great work remembering to add hemlines to the pattern, and to start cutting at the edges of the fabric! You did a great job connecting the lining and awesome work remembering the double fold hem on the lip of the bag! I'd say putting the more waterproof layer on the inside was the right choice. Just makes more sense usually for the handles, you can always do a top stitch along each side of them to sew them flat, if that makes sense. Normally you could iron them too but not sure if this fabric would melt or not Pins are tough, I never got the hang of them so I use clips too. Even my friend who is good at pinning prefers the clips for a lot of things We have a needle cheat sheet for what needles to use with what fabric. I could always send that to you on Instagram if you like! Also congrats on your nose thing being removed! I hope it never comes back

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thanks Vincent! 😊😊

[@kingmerry10]

Hey Ant, congratulations on your amazing bag success! 🥳🥳 You definitely need to parade it along the beach to get lots of envious looks! I hope you're all fully recovered from your surgery - sounds a bit of an ordeal!

[@AnthonyCrammen]

Ah thank you! 😁😁 Oh it wasn't too bad, fully recovered now. I'd take that over going under general any day of the week! 😅😅

[@kingmerry10]

@@AnthonyCrammen Ah, glad to hear you're all recovered - and I agree about not wanting general! Hope you're having a great weekend so far - perhaps another sewing machine adventure?

If you feel like trying something faster than pinning you can outline the pattern with chalk or washable marker.

You little treasure you Ant, you made a fully reversible fabric bag! Well done hun! You should be so, so proud of yourself! I really like the fabrics that you used, they are such bold colours and designs. Now that you've made your first tote, you can make a smaller tote bag for shopping with and you will know exactly how to do it. You are getting so skilled at using not only your sewing machine, but also at using patterns. Considering this was your first tote, it came out really nicely. Well done Ant. Seriously, well done!
