    Best sewing tip I learned in high school, take a piece of tape of marker and make a line from the edge of your foot all the way outward to the front of your sewing machine. That way you have a guide for the fabric for easier straight lines.

      Amanda McCarthy i dont get it because it wasn’t worded very well what do you mean take a piece of tape of marker that doesn’t make sense at all

      @heidiwyler2757 5 лет назад +13

      I think she meant to type "tape or marker." In the case of the tape, you just lay a piece down near your needle to help you visually guide your fabric in a straight line while sewing, that way your top-stitching looks neater. If I'm still not making sense LOL just google "tape seam allowance guide" and there should be some examples in the pictures.

    I love how DIY is seen as an art these days. I remember when I was in junior high I made a tote bag in sewing class and got made fun of. Lovely bag I am definitely going to try this!!!

  • @louisegray3923
    @louisegray3923 7 лет назад +3

    Great tutorial. It's important to note for novice sewers like myself that when using lighter fabrics, use an interfacing to make it sturdy, when stitching the top/handles to stitch around so the top is still open. And when putting the outer bag into the lining, make sure to flip it the right way before inserting it. Thanks so much I'm really happy with how mine turned out!

  • @ceceescobar

  • @thisylvain
    @thisylvain 4 года назад +1

    Thank you so much ! I just finished it and it is magnificent ! It's a bit harder that expected, it is necessary to be really thorough if you want to align properly all the seams on the side (no discontinuity).
    I've adapted the measurements so that it now is my new lunch bag for work :) Also, I left the opening between the two "linkages" of one handle. That way, I simply made a seam all around the opening, and it's the only seam visible on the bag overall (I took extra care not to mess this one !).
    Thank you again, I can't wait to see the face of my co-workers tomorrow !

  • @86TruenoSprinter
    @86TruenoSprinter 8 лет назад +13

    I gotta say when I first saw this video I was confused lol the putting the outer fabric inside the inner was like mind blowing for me. The first bag I made I accidentally sewed the handles with them outside, not inside and I came out with no handles LOL but handles were in between the fabrics. The second time I made it, it came out perfect! I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL

Thanks for the tutorial I keep it somewhere for when I found a great fabric to do it ! Oh and a little advice from beginner to beginner it really helps to iron your fabric at the beginning and before adding new pieces of fabrics 😊
