Hey y'all and welcome to the 8th video in the Sewspire Handmade Holiday Series which will run from October 1 to December 3, 2019. Each week I will feature a new handmade gift that you can create for friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and strangers alike. Today I am here to show you how to sew a large basic tote bag which I am calling the "Journey Tote".
As discussed in the video, you are encouraged to incorporate features into the design that your recipient will appreciate such as custom pockets, personalization of some sort or a unique fabric combination.
For this project you will need 4 body cuts which measure 20″ wide by 18″ tall, two straps which measure 6″ wide x 21″ long, a third strap which measures 6″ x 40″ and a short tab which measures 5″ x 6″ + a tri-glide slide and a large o-ring.
The finished measurements on this bag are 11" across the base, 18" across the top, 6″ deep and 13.5″ tall.
I will be back next week with another inspired gift idea. Until then, please know the creative genius in me will be celebrating the creative genius in you!
