Free Directions to Sew a Simple Tote BagGather and Prepare the MaterialsYou will need:
- Fabric to the size shown in the chart for the bag size you want to create. Nylon fabric is my favorite as it folds compactly and is resistant to water.
- 2 - 20" pieces of 1" wide webbing. The length of the straps may be varied to meet your needs or desires. Carefully use a lighter or candle to gently melt and fuse the raw edges of nylon webbing to prevent it from unraveling. If you are using cotton webbing, zig zag or turn under the edges of the webbing when you are attaching it to the bag.
- Thread to match your fabric. (The samples shown in these directions uses contrasting thread for visibility.)
