How To Box Out The Corners Of The Magic 2 Seam Tote Bag

[@cheriwilliams7001]

I have never heard anyone explain and demonstrate straight of grain and selvage so perfectly! I’m making a tote bag!

[@carolyncullen7772]

Iiij no

[@theREmissionary]

I learned some things I hadn't really taken note of before...like the "pinch, pull, pin" idea with the straps, and the button-up bottom box (yah, I know...alliteration all around LOL). I usually make bags for gifts instead of using wrapping paper, which just gets thrown away. I think these are my favorites so far, other than the lined ones I make for grocery shopping.

[@annolsen8276]

Getting ready to make my daughter a bag for a gift I got her. Knew exactly who to go to for a refresher. Thanks Tracy, love your tutorials.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wonderful! Have fun Ann❤️

[@maurenecoe9356]

What a great teacher!!! Clear and concise, and very pleasant!!🪡♥✂🛍

[@patriciaguevara8793]

My grandson just got a puppy - this will be great for him in a dog print to carry treats, leash and toys wherever they go! Fabulous!

[@TheSewingChannel]

What a great idea Patricia!✅💛🤓

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

Not sure how old your grandson is but if he's really interested in doing sports with the dog, they usually have lots of scholarships for junior handlers. Check out Susan Garrett who just had 2 people join in the agility instruction who both started winning in agility in their teens - hope that helps. I'm doing Rodeo Dog (just barrels and tunnels) at the moment with my one dog - bit easier on the joints and my memory. Hope that helps.

[@Sandrab769]

I would put a little snip for the straps. I learned this from working at a garment factory (made dresses).

[@angesews8110]

Love the project I will make one. Thanks for sharing

[@debraholmes6290]

Thanks Tracy. Love this bag technique! Always use this way to make pillowcases.....never thought about using it to make a bag! Thanks again!!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You are so welcome!💛

[@cindyhappel7376]

Love this little bag!!

[@pamstrong8709]

I never thought of using the burrito method for a bag. I will definitely try this. I box my corners in a similar way, but I never cut the points off until after I have sewn the seam across..just a personal preference. Great job Tracy!

[@kimclyburn4543]

My first time seeing the burrito method thank you so much for sharing ❤️ I also appreciate the very detailed instructions 🥰

[@TheSewingChannel]

Awesome!!!🎊

[@retroredo9850]

Adding if you want to press outside edge seams with a nice edge first press the seam flat, then fold and press. Just roll the bag or whatever back a bit to press flat. Not sure where I learned that but I too kept doing that little rolly rolly thing with fingers to try to get the seam pulled al the way out to edge.

[@Tadi3a]

Love these. Super cute. Would love to make one with pockets inside and out.

[@georgettesledge6079]

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes❣️ Here's the link to that tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpqtfWWmnrafbpY

[@jodiquade358]

Great tutorial! My only questions is what would you recommend for fabric and strap dimensions to make a larger bag that could be used for groceries?

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Jodi- I would measure a bag that I wanted to copy(one you might have on hand) so that way you get exactly what you like.✅_*

[@DH-qz2so]

You could also purchase/use soft fabric strapping... a bit more costly, but is softer on the hands, when using as a grocery bag...

[@lindajacobs1487]

To place the straps, measure 2" from each side of the creases and put the inside edge of the strap there. That way, there's no guessing.

[@rosaredondo1598]

Fantastic instructional video !! Thank you beginner here 🤗

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Glad it was helpful!✅_*

[@DH-qz2so]

Very well done and instructed...clear and concise! Q: Could one use the heavier cotton canvas fabric, to construct these bags for more durability/carrying heavier items? Or would the fabric be too thick for the burrito rollup method/not being able to inside out the burrito?

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Thanks DH. Yes you can totally use canvas✅_*

[@trudyward9113]

Hi Tracy, your tutorial is awesome! When you sew the straps down, do you change out your sewing machine needle or do you use the same one for whole bag?

[@TheSewingChannel]

Same for whole bag✅

[@bjsmith1575]

Love the tutorial.. step by step… one question … fat quarters are often thin.. lining? Canvas? What do you suggest?

[@TheSewingChannel]

You can try canvas or duck cloth✅

[@pattivallett5830]

It would be great if you could show how to line the bag

[@susanmei9980]

Just double layer the bottom piece, Wong sides together and make the bag the same way.

[@juliechao3638]

When you make bag bigger do we just keep the top pic the same as the width. Or do we make the top pic bigger

Make both the same amount bigger...✅

What is a French seam?

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_A French seam encloses the seam allowance on the inside of a sewn item, so no raw edge is visible. This eliminates the need for another form of seam finish. ✅_*

[@barbararaisbeck8821]

If you baste your straps before you start rolling it will be easier to keep the straps where they belong

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Great Tip Barbara!✅ Thank you!_*
