There is nothing better than the sound and end results of and from a GOOD SEWING MACHINE! Nice bag tutorial!
Well done video. I just finished making 4 of these bags. I add a patch pocket inside and a loop with a carabiner sewn to the top hem.
I like this pleat method because it doesn’t make the bag narrower at the bottom. The box corner method does make the bottom narrower.
Best video I have ever seen . Love the simplicity with which it has been explained .
I had excess upholstery fabric and decided to make bags. This tutorial was quick and easy. I will give them away for Christmas gifts.
Excellent! Good job.
Thank you very much for this clear tutorial. The beautiful fabric from curtains no longer needed has provided a wonderful recycled resource and I love 'saving the planet' - small token.
I am glad you liked the video. Repurposing fabric is an excellent choice, good job.
EASY to follow video instructions.Smaller bag than I had thought it would be.
My finished bag measured 9½" W x 9½"D x11"H. Next time I will make it 14"x14"x15"
Update 2:
Suprise! I'm back again, lol. Just made another one of these fabulous bags. This time I made a bag for my manager as a boss's day gift! I chose a thick cotton fabric. Fabric ended up being shorter in width than traditional canvas, but the pattern was super easy to scale down. If you couldn't tell, I'm kind of obsessed with your pattern Sailrite.
Update:
Made two of these bags over 3 years ago and they have held up ever since! I recently lost my beloved bags in a move and came back to the same pattern to make two more. I guess that speaks to the quality and longevity of the pattern!
Original Post:
I made two of these bags from some home dec remnants and they're amazing! I lengthened the straps to 49" just to be able to hold it on my shoulder and it definitely feels very sturdy. Holds ALOT of stuff. The size is decieving from the video; it looks small but when you start stuffing it, it just keeps going. Thanks so much for the tutorial! I plan on making bunch for other people too.

Thanks for the tip on the bag straps. Just made one and I added 6” to the strap length.
Loved it - great tutorial.. Made one for my wife - best thing I've made so far! Going to go again with different fabric today. Thank you.
Good job. Thanks!
thank you for this! I make bags frequently, but I love the pleat that makes this more square! In the right fabric, these would make wonderful storage items for the house!
Glad you liked it!
I have made 2 of these. The video is great, instructions are simple.
Thank you very much Sailrite .I made 6 bags for my friends.your instruction is very clear and constrctive.
Way to go!!! Good job.
I just made one of these. I recommend creasing and top stitching around the bottom to make it hold its shape and also up the corners.
Great suggestion. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Didn't find it as straightforward as most but taught me a lot about construction via mistakes. Am adapting it to make reusable Christmas gift bags to raise money for an animal charity - and encourage people to avoid using wrapping paper. So me, the animals and the planet all thank you.
Keep sewing - practice make almost perfect.
Thank you Sailrite. Just made mine but a little bit larger and deeper.
The tutorial was crisp and clear and easy to follow. Loved your bag , so made one of my own. not so perfect as yours , this is my first project.
Thank's Sailrite I love this bag. I have just made one BUT::::: The handles are too short to carry goods easily. If stuff is heavy sometimes we need to be able to put our arms through to assist with the weight. I will adjust the next one however the quality is top notch because of your meticulous measuring and pattern matching. All your demo's are great.

My comment is similar to City Curves. I so appreciate your attention to every detail in "building" this tote. Thanks a million!
Thanks for your positive comments.
you have the best video on making a tote bag...when women teach they rumble too much..you get right to the chase. Please make more sewing videos...please
Perfect commentary - clear instructions and at a good speed. and....you're a man...great!!
Thanks!!!
I just wanted to say thanks to the folks at Sailrite!
I ordered a yard of this fabric and serged off each rough cut edge. I trimmed of about 1/8th of an inch as I serged the width of each end. I just measured it and the shortest length in the uneven cut edges and I have a minimal of 37 inches. I can't tell you how many times I've done the same with other fabrics and ended up with a couple of inches less than I ordered. So let the cutters know how important this is to the job.

Excellent! Thanks for the information.
This video -and the result, is amazing. It's a much more effective technique than what I do. And it looks great. I'm definitely trying this next time!
This tutorial reminds of the owners I have watched on wood projects neat, clear, and to the point. I love it! Specially because its something i can do inside.
Glad you liked it.
Great idea. 😅 Gonna find nice fabric and DiY, thx you , you've done again , great clear instructions and so relax to watch . 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the instructions clear and relaxing to watch. Good luck with your DIY project and I hope you find the perfect fabric!
I made this tote and it was easy to make, but instead of making the pleats on the outside I made them on the inside which made the bag more attractive. Today I will make it with a vinyl in the inside.
The next time I make this bag I will also put the pleat on the inside.
Sounds great! Can you post a photo on our Facebook page? facebook.com/sailrite
This is a suburb bag tutorial ever. Very neatly done clean lines and so simple. I will make one one or two for myself. Thanks for your time and showing us here how to make a beautiful boxy bag for shopping and even a nice beach bag. Super...LOVE IT!! Your sewing machine is an oldie but a goody...love the heavy-duty look of it!
Thanks for your kind comments! Enjoy the new bag.
Thnku ...4 this tutorial... I made bag & project is completed successfully.. Obliged Sir.
Glad you liked it!
thank you for showing me how to make a tote bag! im going to make this bag for my class because in the markets there are not allowing plastic bags in the stores this december.
I am glad we could help!

Nice to see a man sewing! Well done!! The leftover fabric can be used to make pockets on the inside, outside or both!
Thanks! You are correct, left over fabric can be used for many things including pockets.
Thanks for the tutorial, I will probably make one next week for myself !
Maybe a tip, to hold the fabric when too much bulky, instead of a pin, probably would be more easier using a clip , used for quilting , like the Wonder Clips , they have as well a jumbo version
Sandra Douma - Santos da Cruz true. That's what Im thinking oof using while watching this
Just made one. I marked the measurements with chalk and used some binder clips and it held just fine.
Thank you for making such a clear and informative video. I sure covet that heavy duty sewing machine! California has gone to reusable shopping bags so I hope you get a lot of renewed interest in your videos and products. Your bag looks nice and sturdy, groceries can get very heavy so quality is a must. Now I'm going to your site to check out your machines!
Great! Let us know if you have any questions about our products or sewing machines.
I love this tutorial! Very precise and lots of extra information! Can't wait to try
Glad you like it! Let us know if you have questions.
I love that this sounds like a Ken Burns documentary 😅 Very fun to watch
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and got that Ken Burns documentary vibe. It was a lot of fun to create!
Great informative video. Never thought of using the double sided tape for hems....great idea! Thank you.
Thanks for your positive comments! Yes, I use double sided tape for almost all my sewing, love it!
My tube l9 MP bag's of+=
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Have some leftover heavy fabric and we're in need of some sturdy grocery bags. Need to clean off a table and start sewing!
Great! Glad we could help.
great tutorial, super easy to follow..... all the dimensions are clear. I am sewing 2 of those right now. Those step by step instructions are invaluable. Thanks.
Your welcome!
i love the way everything is lined up and he follows pattern of fabric...since i am OCD😊
Awesome tut. You know I really hate when ppl are so negative and critical about something that is free. Shut up and enjoy the vid's. Keep your negative comments to yourself. Do u know it takes time to record these tut's and it is not hurting anyone if the man says something the wrong way or show's something a different way that you don't like. Don't come off on him. Did your mother never teach you if u can't say ne thing nice don't say ne thing at all. If not let me be the first.

I am Indian . I like your details work
Thanks for the video. I'll save it with others I've been saving to make for Christmas presents.
I watched your video and was totally surprised just how easy you made it look. I made one that was double thick as per my wife's order and it just looks so bulky and messy.. Thank you for your tutorial.

+John P. Shannon Sr. I am glad we could help.
This is a great video of a simple project. I really don't need another shopping tote bag (I have three already), but I'm going to make this project just to get some experience with the machine.
Great tutorial on a good sized bag! I have some upholstery fabric that needs to be transformed into this beaut.
its a wonderful and very clear description of a video that i ever see.
thankyou so much.
Excellent! Glad you liked it!
I loved this idea. I think I'm going to use to to make some fabric laundry bags. Thank you!
What a great video. Close ups, narrative, and instructions are perfect. Good job videographer !
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
thank you. This was a well done video. I am going to make several of these as we now have a bag ban in my state.
Hi Joyce, I hope your bag making process goes very well!!!
I love the material pattern & that was the best tote bag video Iv cn.
This video is amazing. Precise instructions in simple steps, to the point clarification, I loved the bag,I have subscribed & I am definitely going to stich it. All my best wishes for your upcoming videos 👍
Perfection! Thank you so much. I love everything about this design. I am making it ASAP.
Not sure if you do this or not, but I have a tip for anyone watching. When you are part way through stitching and need to stop and re adjust, I find it better to leave the needle in the downward position (through the fabric) so your not pulling the material or moving it so you keep the same spot where you stopped at. Nice video btw.
Excellent suggestion, thanks!!!
I love this bag and the method to make it...when I think about making a tote my mind seems to sabatoge my idea...cyou have shown an easier way of making one... thank you for your video..
You are welcome! Thanks!!!!
best instructions on you tube!
thank you for this video. easy to follow. instructions quite clear
MaryDee Thanks! We are glad you liked it.
Very good clear instructions and I love the idea of the tape. I have now subscribed to see more of your good skills and excellent teaching. Thank you for the subtitles too.
Love this video! Can't wait to make my own bags!!
Excellent tutorial and the pleated bottom is great, thx
Thanks!
I just love how manly that sewing machine is.

nice instructions and great tutorial........cayooo from Indonesia,West Java
This bag is beautifully made and the perfect allignment shows the professional sewing. I'm not sure about the triangles being outside the bag, although they look nice, I suspect they will catch and get dirty first. Well done though.
Vera Wroe agreed. very nice of him make vidoe but that outside corners looks all wrong
the triangles are from making the pleat, and I'm sure would look much neater when they were pressed.
Awesome! I love your clear explanations 👍🏾
Thanks!
Great video. Good directions
Very very useful
Thank u so much I learn something important in this video.
Great bag project! Saltire always provides such clear directions. Sewing the bottom corner angles inside the finished bag and using clips over pins worked much better overall. Excellent video!
Very nice tutorial
Awesome and very professional!
Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions.
I enjoyed your instructions. They were very detailed and concise. Thank you. :-)

Awesome video
+Hilliary Tacy I am glad you liked it!
Nice bag and explain well. Hard to see because of the pattern though. Should have used a plain fabric and different color thread.
Very nice design... Soin
Great instructions. Instead of using pins to hold the fabric, use heavy duty paper clips. They hold great.
Excellent idea!!!
Thank you sharing. Knowing me I would probably buy it already make.
Thanks for a great video. That's the kind of shopping bag I've purchased but could never find an exact pattern for.
Thank you so much for the detailing instruction..
