Step 1If there are any creases of wrinkles in your fabric it's a good idea to iron it out before you start. Draw out the outline of your tote bag on your fabric. This should be a rectangle around 15" by 10". Cut this out.
-
Step 2Fold over about an inch at each of the smaller ends of the rectangle and pin this down.
-
Step 3Sew along the edges using a sewing machine removing the pins as you go.
-
Step 4Lay the material on the floor and fold it in half. Pin along the long edges of the rectangle catching both sides.
-
Step 5Sew along these edges with a sewing machine.
-
Step 6Fold the bag inside out.
-
Step 7Draw out two more rectangles this time about 30" by 4". These will be the straps and cut them out.
-
Step 8Fold them in half and pin along the edges.
-
Step 9Sew along the straps and fold them inside out.
-
Step 10Pin the straps on to the bag. Sew them in place using a needle and thread and you're done. See <a href="/projects/fabric_printing/">Fabric Printing</a> for instructions on printing.
