Vacation Tote!!
Fabric Requirements: Main Fabric: Two 10"x10" Squares Two 10"x7" Rectangles One 3"xWOF Strip Two 3"xWOF Strips Lining Fabric Two 10"x10" Squares Two 10"x7" Rectangles One 3"xWOF Strip Interfacing/Batting as desired. (I like to interface the lining and use batting on the two big sides of the outer purse.) Step 10: Turn the purse right side out. Iron this new seam. Stitch again all the way around the top, being careful to close that gap that you turned the purse through. (Again, I like to use a decorative stitch here.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]90686[/ATTACH] ALL DONE!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]90688[/ATTACH] Step 1: Sew the two 3"xWOF strips together, right sides together, along both edges. [ATTACH=CONFIG]90712[/ATTACH] Step 2: Turn right side out. Press. Stitch again along both edges. (I like to use a decorative stitch here.) Set aside. [ATTACH=CONFIG]90713[/ATTACH] Step 3: Make the pockets. Sew the matching 10"x7" Rectangles together along the top edge with right sides together. Turn right side out and press this new seam. You do not need to sew the other three sides, they will be sewn in construction seams. [ATTACH=CONFIG]90714[/ATTACH] Step 4: Attach pockets to purse sides. (Notice I switched fabrics -- I'm working on the inside pocket here.) I will JUST pin my pocket to the purse side. (For me, it's pocket, purse piece, batting piece) For the inside pocket I will PIN the pocket to the purse, but I like to add a stitch line so that my cell phone has it's own pocket. [ATTACH=CONFIG]90715[/ATTACH] Step 5 - Add the sides/bottom. I like to take the middle of my 3"xWOF strip, and center it in the middle of the bottom of the bag. Pin here, then sew. Then pin the strip along one side, and sew. Repeat on the other side. The corners just get kinda folded on top of the bottom piece. Should look like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]90716[/ATTACH] Step 6: Attach other side. Use the same process as step 5. I've turned this one right side out: [ATTACH=CONFIG]90717[/ATTACH] Step 7: Repeat steps 4, 5 & 6 to make the outer shell. Literally repeat. (Execpt I don't divide the pocket on the outside, though you totally could.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]90718[/ATTACH] Step 8: Pin the handle to the Outside of the purse. Be careful not to twist it!! This is where you adjust the length of the handle to suit your needs. Stitch handles to purse at desired length. [ATTACH=CONFIG]90719[/ATTACH] Step 9: Turn lining inside out. Place Outside of the bag (which is right side out) INSIDE the lining of the bag (which is inside out). Stitch all the way around the top, leaving a gap for you to turn it.

WOF = width of fabric. :-) I am still learning all the little shortcuts too.
|
Thank you for the great tute :D:D:D
|
Very cute. Thanks for sharing.

I love your embroidery -- did you do that on your machine? Did you get particular software to do it with? I'm looking for good lettering software but am totally overwhelmed and not really sure what or how to look.
Your tote is very cute -- I will be making one for my granddaughter to use at daycare for bottles, change of clothes. That's where the lettering would come in handy. |
Thank you for sharing with us this tutorial. I love it so much I bookmark it.

Great tut! I love the embrodiery.
thank for sharing. |
LOVED IT !!
|
I got that font from fivestarfonts.com -- I don't have any software, so I placed each letter individually.
---------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much for that link -- it is exactly what I've been looking for!!!! |

(Cute tute??) LOL! |
Wow. Thanks everyone for the nice comments!! I'm glad this is helping folks out!! :)

Here is the easiest tote every. I make them for gift bags, shopping bags, give away bags, any size.
http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/blog/?p=913 I had trouble understanding folding the fabric inside itself! My mind would not see that at all. I was almost crying about it when DH picked it up and said like this? He pulled apart the fabric and tucked one end into the other end. ! I felt so silly for not getting that part. LOL |
love this tut.
thanx |
Great tute! I love the embroidery!!! :)
