This is one of my favourite video's. I have practised it with a cushion cover I had (non of the shops that sell crafting supplies are open due to Covid ). I'm not keen on the unfinished inner seems so I trimmed the waste away and covered with binding, It worked well. I had some very large buttons which I painted and attached to the outside for a bit of whimsy. Very good bag and tutorial. Thank You.

@@SewCutebyKatietv loved the idea of using the placemats. When you put the straps on, you should singe the edges(my preference)or use fray check to keep them from fraying. But really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.

I just got finished watching your video on how to make the matching pouch for this pretty bag. This video answers my question and fulfills my request. By the way, for a bag this large, a chip wood or hard plastic board placed inside the bottom would be a nice way to reinforce it and maintain the shape. Covering the board with fabric or vinyl will add a finishing touch. Your projects are amazing! I’m a new subscriber. Thanks again for sharing!🙏

You don't have to line the bag if you want to hide the seams... what you can do, is simply sew some binding on the seams as you sew the seams themselves - two birds, one stone.

@velindanoyb6913 жыл бұрын
Hello just a couple of hints I found it very difficult to see where you had sewn on the bottom of the bag. For the sake of tutorial only you might want to use a contrasting thread so it is easier for us viewers to see it. And I would reinforce those straps a lot better by sewing a square on the strap and the bag itself and then sew an X across the middle of the box, I hope I explained that correctly. But I never thought of using placemats to make a tote bag and I like the idea of using the webbing for the straps much easier thanks for sharing
