Step-by-Step Tutorial
- Cut the Fabric: Start by cutting two rectangles of fabric to your desired tote bag size. Don't forget to add extra for the seams.
- Prepare the Straps: Cut two long strips of fabric for the handles. Fold them in half lengthwise, then sew along the edge, turning them inside out after sewing.
- Sew the Main Pieces: Place the two fabric pieces together, right sides facing, and sew along the edges, leaving the top open for the bag opening.
- Attach the Straps: Pin the straps to the top of the bag, then sew them in place, reinforcing with extra stitches to ensure strength.
- Finish the Edges: Optionally, you can use a zigzag stitch or serger to finish the raw edges inside the bag for a cleaner look.
