How to Sew a Zipped Tote Bag by Debbie Shore

- This tutorial is mainly about fitting a zip inside a tote bag, and showing how I add a tab to the end of a zip. There are many different ways of doing this, but this is the way I think you’ll find easiest.
The fabric I’ve used is one of my Eden panels, the panel measures 150cm x 48cm and is available when in stock from www.debbieshore....
Materials for the tote bag:
Two 14” [36cm] squares of outer fabric, two of lining and two of Bosal single sided fusible foam, cut a 2” [5cm] square from the bottom corner of each piece.
For the zip panel. Four pieces of outer fabric each measuring 10” x 2.5” [25cm x 6cm]
For the zip tab, one piece of outer fabric measuring 1.5” x 3” [4cm x 8cm]
For the handles, two pieces of outer fabric each measuring 26” x 4” [66cm x 10cm], fusible fleece or interfacing to the same size.

Debbie Shore, you are amazing! As busy as you are you give your club members what they as for. So impressed with your commitment. Half Yard Sewing Club is great
Thanks!
Debbie Shore, thank you so much. With your help you are making my retirement fantastic. I made this bag and couldn’t be happier. God bless you.
Sew glad I found this tutorial. The way you did the zipper was exactly how I wanted mine to be but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Thank you for saving my project.
Thank you, Debbie! I really like your tree fabric and the foam makes for a really nice, sturdy look. 💗
This is the prettiest bag and I love the fabric!
Hi Debbie, I’m making a large version of this to be a lap top bag, and I’ve put a double zipper in. I now realise that I should have put a tab on each end as by folding the zip down ( and it looks lovely) the zip can come apart. So I’m sewing a “patch on that end to hide it.
You work so hard Debbie! I didn't expect this video until next week! Thanks so much. As usual, this bag has turned out so beautiful. Can't wait to get my panels. Have fun at ABBA today. ✨
Loving this. I just watched as a reminder and it’s very easy to follow.
A Master lesson from You Debbie, thanks a Lot, always learning and improving the knowledge, 💐💐💐
I have watch it several times .excellent tutorial.Thank you
As usual you have made a great bag and keeps things safe inside❤🥰
Oh I love that little iron that you're using so handy!
Such a beautiful bag with your beautiful fabric!
You made this so easy, I've been making my bags for several years and now I'm going to try your way for my way seems much more complicated.
You are an amazing talent! Thanks for posting!!
beautiful bag!! I love it. I would lovely to make grocery bags this way... the only exception is I would prefer longer straps so I can use it as a crossbody bag if need be!
Thanks finished mine today :) couldn’t have done it without your video x
Thank you for the video unless I’m crazy I believe you sewed your zip to your lining 1 1/2 inch on one side and 2 inch on the other but when you were finished you couldn’t even tell great job.
I love everything you do, also any chance in making another sewing machine mat that you have under your machine. The same with different pattern and also bigger please.
Hi Debbie. Firstly big big thank you for all your videos. Fairly new to sewing and made a few of your bags. I want to now make a tote with. Zipped top to take away and use to travel. Thought the zip would make it a little more secure. I want to make it just a little bit bigger so am I right in thinking the top panels will always be 4” smaller i. e. if bag panel is 15” the top panel would be cut to 11”? I have some fairly expensive material and don’t want to waste any! Again, thank you so much. I just love your videos 😊😊
The zipper panels were cut at 10” to match the length of the bottom of the bag. How is the width of these panels established? Would 2 1/2” be standard even for a larger bag?
Great tutorial …❤. Quick question may I fuse the bosal with canvas fabric ? Thanks
Great project. Thanks for sharing.
I always wondered how you did this, I would like to purchase a disc if you do one please
Thank you so much 😊
Loved this tutorial
Thank you
Hi Debbie. I really love your quilted tote bag, but would like to make it a little larger. Could you please suggest what size the cut-out square corners should be if I use 16" square fabric?
It depends on how wide of a base you want for your bag. Really, it’s up to you.
😊❤love your teaching
Beautiful bag!
Hello Debbie! Thank you for your great tutorials. I have a JUKI DX 5 and love it! I am learning to make bags and want to try this one. Do you have a pattern for sale or download? I want to make a tote bag, using single sided fusible stabilizer!
Love your video
Very nice. Thank you. How do you like the new Juki?
Hi Debbie, beautiful video. Your so fun to watch! May I ask what style of juki are you using? Thanks
Love this bag where did you buy the Bosal fusible foam from please?
