Simple Tote Bag Tutorial

Simple Sewn Tote. Free Sewing Tutorial. This simple tote was made entirely using remnant fabric. I used vinyl for the lining so that I could use this tote for groceries if needed.

I thought I would once again try to make some produce bags out of something I had at home. The two things I played with were tulle and doilies. I liked the idea of something somewhat see-thru so that a grocery store clerk could read the code if you were at a supermarket. Since tulle is not my friend I leaned more towards the vintage doilies. After a few tries and takes and takes and tries, here is what I have come up with. I'm not sure if I got pics of every step but here ya go.. Have fun!

DIY Travel Jewellery Case Sewing Tutorial. It's a nice easy project and doesn't require too much fabric - just 3 contrasting fat quarters.

With the state of the economy and everyone trying to be more environmentally conscious, I have noticed fabric snack sacks popping up all over the place. Something that's incredibly cute and Eco-friendly? I love this idea!

This tutorial is for when you want a bag with a fabric pattern that needs to face up...like the cupcakes on both sides. Super easy, and the seam is tucked inside the lining, versus Take 1's tutorial with the seam being seen just inside the bag.

This tutorial is just the basics for making a bag with no bottom seam. It would have worked much better with another pattern because now my cupcakes are upside-down on the reverse side. But the pouch is just to hold my markers so I don't mind.
