37 people have no respect. I can't believe they thumbed this down. the amount of creativity and time it took to make this video is amazing. thank you for sharing!!!
I said the same thing.... I'm like yal haters there is absolutely nothing wrong with this video she literally gave you every step and every peice of material she used...
Your tutorial was excellent! Your directions were clear and to the point. I’ve been sewing for 65 years, but someone who is new to sewing would have no problem following your tutorial. Great job!!!
I bought a tote bag pattern off of Etsy and immediately was lost when I got the directions. So, I came to RUclips to look for answers when I stumbled across this in-depth tutorial. As someone who only knows basic sewing skills, I was thrilled to find an easy video that catered to someone wanting to make a tote bag that wasn’t flimsy! I literally had this tutorial playing from start to finish and created a beautiful bag in 5 hours! Although it seems like a lot of time to some, I’m thoroughly impressed with myself 😂 I’m already starting my second one of the day. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! I started sewing a similar bag from Pinterest but couldn't figure out the directions or the photos with it. Finally finished it tonight as a present for a friend thanks to your video.😄 The only difference is that I made my own handles from the extra fabric I already had.
This tutorial couldn't be more perfect unless you were physically sitting in my home teaching me! Your calming voice and detailed directions made me a new subscriber! I hope you have more tutorials like this one! Thank you for sharing your sewing 🧵 expertise! Be safe and healthy 😷Take Care! Happy Holidays!
This looks easy for me. It’s be a long while. I want to try first with canvas and faux leather. Before I use real leather. You make it look easy I would like to see how to make a small zip makeup bag or a small bag for medical device.
I made this bag this afternoon, and I’m pretty inexperienced ( I’ve been sewing 7 months) and it took me about 3 hours. It turned out fabulous! Love this tutorial! Thank you, btw... this is an excellent size to use as an everyday purse!
This lady is amazing. I’ve been sewing for many, many years and still learn something new each time I watch her videos. She is fabulous explaining everything. Thank you so much. I enjoy your video and love the bags you make. So professional!!
I have been watching videos for a while on tote bags, and finally chose this one. My project came out so well using your great step by step instructions. I have already made 2 more and look forward to using other patterns of yours! Thank you! 😊
Love your step by step guide ❤ Love the way you explain ❤ Love your voice and the clarity ❤ Love the bag ❤ Thank you very much indeed for sharing your expertise and creation 🙏🙏🤗
You are a fantastic teacher...clear, step by step instructions with clear visuals. My sewing group recommended your tutorials and I see why. Definitely making this. You’ve got another new subscriber! Thank you! 💕
I love you for sharing such a nice and easy video. With your help I was able sew my first handmade cloth bag using old saree to gift my sister. She’s liked it and gave blessings to you. Stay blessed 🙏
This is the Best tutorial for making a Tote bag! I was a beginner and this is so easy to follow! I have made 5 or 6 totes now using this tutorial. The lady is so sweet and very easy to follow. Thank you so very much!
I'll be making this one this weekend, actually 2 one for a dear friend, and 1 for myself! Can't wait for the next video! Thanks so very much, ANOTHER awesome tutorial!
I just found your site today. Your the first seamstress that I could follow and understand your instructions from start to finish. I hope I get a new machine soon and I will be making these bags. By the way. I love your accent, it's very nice.
Love the detail in your tutorial Svetlana! One small tip, before you close up the lining seam in the bottom, if you sew a couple stitches on the wrong sides with the corner seams matched it anchors the corners in place so they don't shift inside. This helps if you make them washable or if you make them reversible.
Such a great step by step tutorial. I’m thinking of making my own bags to take to the grocery store, which would save from using so much plastic bags. Thank you!
I just finished my first bag thanks to this video. The only real difference with mine was I added a window in the outside panel for a dye sublimation print of my friend and her husband and then put on the interfacing to give it stability. She loved it. Thanks so much Svetlana!
I know this video is a few years old, but I just really wanted to say thank you! These bags are super cute and your tutorial was very easy to follow. I love how beginner friendly it is, and you did an excellent job explaining the process, unlike a lot of other videos I’ve watched. I’m making a few of these as Christmas gifts and was about to give up on the idea when I cam across your video. Thank you again so much for being so wonderful!
Thank you so much!! I just made my mother in law this in a jacquard and quilting cotton lining for her birthday (Just After Christmas ) thank you for giving me the confidence that I can make it- and yes! Everything matched up beautifully!!
Thank you for such a well explained tutorial. I love your attention to detail, and explaining every single step! You don't assume we know something, you show us each step. I for one, really appreciate that! Thank you! Plus, I love your sweet voice, and could listen to you for days. Thanks again
I'm glad RUclips recommended this channel to me. Your instructions are simple and easy to follow and your editing is great. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content. =)
Amazing as always. I personally like leaving the opening on a side seam as opposed to the bottom seam because I like my lining to sit as flat as possible on the bottom.
I just bought your pattern and am so excited to make this this coming weekend. This tutorial removed a lot of the fear I had about making this. Thank you so much! I love your blog too! xoxox
I’ve seen tons of tote bag videos and I found yours to be the easiest. I believe it’s because of the way you explained so clearly. Thank you so much. Not everyone is gifted with teaching, YOU, definitely are!!! Thanks again.
You are amazing! I am a new sewer and this project was easy to follow because of your explanations and the demonstration of each step. My family will enjoy their Christmas presents this year! Thank you.
I am a long time seamstress/quilter. This tutorial was absolutely excellent. Well explained. Had fun following you along. These make great girlfriend Christmas gifts.
Thank you so much! My future MIL asked me to make her a big tote bag just like this! ⚘And of all the instructors/teachers I've come across in my 46 years of off and on sewing (mostly quilting), you are the absolute best!👏 You are very clear, you speak gently, stay focused and you're organized! I really appreciate you! So I subscribed to all your videos! 👍
thank you. my grandparents were tailors. thank you for sharing your talent. it reminds me of my childhood memories surrounded with fabric, rulers, scissors, patterns and manual sewing machines. i feel excited watching you create bag! I am inspired and want to learn more from you😊
I’ve just made my first tote bag ever using your wonderful tutorial. I used a lovely linen/cotton fabric with blue anchors and a navy duck canvas lining with navy leather handles. It’s turned out gorgeous! I’m thrilled. Definately the first of many and I now know what my “secret Santa” contribution will be at Christmas!! Thankyou so much for your patience and excellent teaching xx.
Omg....i could listen to you for days hon.... Sooo pleasing voice and an EXCELLENT tutorial in general!! I have TONS of ideas. Thank you - thank you :)
This is possibly the easiest tote, perfect size and perfect way of explaining everything. I beg of you to teach this exact tote with a recessed zipper. PLEASEEEEE!
Just finished making a bag following your tutorial, and it has come out amazingly! Thank you so much for such an easy understanding and well instructed video!
Utmost congratulations Madam! Excellent tutorial, so easy to understand and follow. No loud music like most of the time that cut your enthusiasm, thus stop looking at the video before half-way... Bravoooo.........

Agreed. It’s a great tutorial. Forget the haters.
Very good video. You explained everything so well. Thank you, I can’t wait to make one!
@@ushalax77I'm with you! I'm making a 2nd one by request from the person I made my 1st one for!
Your tutorial was excellent! Your directions were clear and to the point. I’ve been sewing for 65 years, but someone who is new to sewing would have no problem following your tutorial. Great job!!!
If you sew the bottom invisibly, it can be reversable. Thank you.
You explain everything so perfectly and succinctly!
I wish "YOU" could do all the tutorials that I need for all the different sewing projects I want to do. Thank you for such a Great tutorial!!!!

Love this video, thank you. It looks fairly easy and very nice looking. Can’t wait to start sewing it up.
Have fun!

Hi Donna
I'm glad RUclips recommended this channel to me. Your instructions are simple and easy to follow and your editing is great. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content. =)
Thank you so much 😊
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
Thankyou so much for a great tutorial. The best I've ever come across. Please keep doing what you are doing. A natural teacher.🌹🌹🌹🌹
Amazing as always. I personally like leaving the opening on a side seam as opposed to the bottom seam because I like my lining to sit as flat as possible on the bottom.
yes, that's definitely a good option.
Sometimes I'll hand stitch it closed with a ladder stitch to keep it neat. I don't like the machine stitch at the bottom either. 😊
I always cover a strong cardboard base board and slip it inside, it stops the lining from moving up and makes a nice ridged base.
Thank you for your easy to understand tote bag. You are very calm and don’t over talk. 😊 I enjoy watching your videos
Wow, thank you!
You did such a great job with the instructions, I believe even I could sew this bag!! Thank you!
I just bought your pattern and am so excited to make this this coming weekend. This tutorial removed a lot of the fear I had about making this. Thank you so much! I love your blog too! xoxox
