Last week I posted some
reusable shopping bags I made, and we've had a few requests for a tutorial, so, here it is!
 |
1. Cut out the pieces.
Main body: 33" x 15"
Bottom: 7" x 11"
Handles: 3" x 17" (cut 2) |
 |
| 2. Stitch and serge the side seam of the main body piece. (1/2" seam allowance). |
 |
| 3. Prepare the handles. Press the long raw edges in and top-stitch down the length of both sides, |
 |
| 4. Stitch the main body to the bottom, clipping and pivoting at the corners. |
 |
| 5. Serge the bottom. |
 |
| 6. Stitch a 2" hem around the top of the bag. |
 |
| 7. Attach handles. |
 |
| I like to stitch an X on the handle to ensure security. |
DONE!
thanks for sharing the tutorial! I've got a post on Craft Gossip scheduled for this evening that links to your how-to:
