I love this. It would make an awesome grocery bag. This will be added to the Christmas projects list. Thanks for sharing.

I have been looking at tutorials for this origami tote bag, and this video has been the best explained. Besides that, the camera focus from above helps to visualize the demonstration. Thanks for sharing❤

Glad it was helpful!

Grocery bags that look nice

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

Thank you Heather! 😊

[@giselaa6111]

wonderful and easy tutorial! personally I like the regular tote best : )

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

Thank you Gisela. Yes! I agree. I need to make a good basic tote tutorial.

I would love to make this as a gift

[@TheOlgamora]

Thank you for this tutorial. It is great bag and easy to do. I made an improvement. It's perfect for me, with 4' 11", but I have a friend who is 5' 10" and she found the handles short. In the middle I made an extension and reinforced it. If you have another tip, pls let me know. Thanks again!

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

That's awesome! I am so glad you could adjust it for someone taller, since I am 5'4" It didn't cross my mind that it would need to be adjusted for a taller person. So glad you did that! Happy sewing :)

@TamarasJoyDIY Thank you. There is always a solution! I'm happy with this bag.!

What fabric is best canvas or cotton fabrics

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

For this project a quilters cotton works great. A canvas may get too bulky.

I am new to.sewing and was needing suggestions. What is the best washable fabric marker/pen/pencil/chalk to use when marking fabric for cutting? Thanks everyone!

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

Hello Paul, I have my favourites linked in the description of the video. But the frixion pens can have their lines reappear in extreme cold. The pencils and markers can wash away nicely and the chalk is good if using on a cutting line but I don't like to use it for quilting lines. Hope that helps.

@@TamarasJoyDIY Thank’s for the info, I’ll check out the links!

Can you do a smaller version of this bag? I’m going to make this tote, but I would also love to have a purse size of this. I just found your channel and I am loving your videos‼️🥰

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

That is a GREAT suggestion! I will think how to do that. If I do it would need longer straps…..🧐 but I think I would use a small version too!

You went WAY WAY too fast !!!! Could you please redo your video and go much slower 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

KZbin lets you slow down the videos, so I suggest trying that out. I have changed my editing style a bit now so I’m not as fast anymore 😉 but redoing it is prob not happening anytime soon. Maybe one day! ☺️🫣
