Other day when I was coming back
from grocery store, the man behind the billing counter gave me a dirty look
after looking at my overused bag, which made me realize that it is high time to
change my bag. Tote bags come in handy for a lot of reasons. From bringing in
the groceries, carrying notebooks, extra stuff, can be used as a diaper bags
also, sometimes, if you are a new mother, you will know the importance of
totes. The can help us in a lot of creative ways to de-clutter our lives.
But as we all know that it is
just not practically possible to buy a new bag every week, making one from DIY
hacks is achievable. So why not try and learn some new snazzy ways to make ones
yourself?
1. You can begin by choosing a
fabric which could be cotton, canvas, upholstery fabrics or any other thick
fabric which is of good quality.
2. You can cut the fabric about
the length and breadth of how large or small you would like your tote to be. Now
prep your pocket. Cut a piece after measuring and deciding on how big you want
your compartment or what exactly would you like to keep there.
3. Now pin the pocket either
inside or outside the bag according to your choice. Sew the edges that are on
the outside of the pocket.
4. Sew down both the sides of the
bag or if you have cut two separate rectangles, from the bottom sew down one
side and back up the other one. Iron the top edge and hem the top of the tote,
then sew it in place.
5. Final stage is to add straps.
You can use twill tape or cotton webbing as it is convenient and looks cute and
sew them on to bag, and you are done. If you follow the abode written
instructions carefully, you will get an adorable bag that will earn you
admiring sighs and not disdain looks.
