This project is straightforward and ideal for gifting, perhaps to your grandchildren or children, as a charming accessory.
Start by aligning the strap with right sides facing each other and pressing it firmly with an iron. Then fold one end down to meet the middle of the initial fold created with the iron.
After ironing, proceed to close the hems by sewing them. Secure the fabric with pins along the edges of the hems, then sew them together
Place the main pieces evenly and pin them down on both sides. While experienced sewers may not require pins, beginners are advised to use them for accuracy.
Ensure the longer side is brought up and pinned to measure 12 inches across. Sew along the edges, maintaining a half-inch seam allowance throughout.
Utilize a sewing machine to stitch the fabric, starting approximately half an inch down. Avoid sewing over silver pins to prevent damage to the fabric.
Iron one side of the tote bag, flip it over, and position the strap accordingly. Secure the strap in place with pins along one side of the bag.
Repeat the process for the other side of the tote bag, ensuring the opposite side. Secure the fabric firmly and proceed downwards.
Fold the fabric as required, ensuring the strap is positioned correctly within the bag. Secure all components in place before proceeding.
Confirm that the seam allowance is uniform, then open the side seams and align them carefully. Secure them with pins and proceed with the stitching.
Leave a designated opening, typically on the side, and mark it with pins. Stitch along the designated path, removing pins as you progress.
Carefully tuck and secure the fabric as you work your way around the tote bag, paying attention to details and ensuring a neat finish.
Once the bag is turned inside out, iron it to smooth out any wrinkles and neatly fold and secure the top edge. Follow these steps, and you'll have a charming fabric tote bag crafted by your own hands.
