tote tutorial. totally.

Okay, I know it took forever, but here you go:

{This is when you'd sew on your ruffles around the outside of your bag,

if you were to ruffle.}

Don't turn your interior right side out.

Fit it inside the exterior with wrong sides together.

Now follow this tutorial for your straps, except don't press the sides in

and cut your strap pieces 24" x 4", and without velcro.

Backstitch over the straps.

Done. You have a tote.

These totes below are just one layer of exterior upholstery fabric. I pressed the tops over twice to hide the raw edge of the fabric, and sewed the straps onto the outside of the bag.

Let me know how it goes!

I mean, if I totally confuse you, I'd appreciate a request for clarification.
