| Canvas Tote Bag |
Ever been in a situation where you had to balance shopping carts and plastic bags due to an unexpected plastic bag ban? Designer Kymona Tracey found herself in that very situation when she walked out of a supermarket with a paper bag without a handle, and straight to the sewing machine. The result? A fantastic tutorial for making a Canvas Market Bag on the WeAllSew blog.
In this project you will learn how to make just one yard of fabric into a super durable, eco friendly, and reusable tote that you will use every time you head to the grocery store.
This tutorial includes the following features:
- Since the bag is made with heavy cotton canvas (Kymona used a beautiful Fleet and Flourish canvas), it is already sturdy and eliminates the need to sew on a lining.
- Smart Construction: Design has a clever folded bottom that is wide enough to carry heavy produce and reinforced handles.
- Easy Care: It is washable in the machine; spills on your groceries won't be an issue.
- Easy to do: This fits the needs of beginners – it can be completed in a single night with simple materials such as Wonder Tape, clips and standard sewing machine.
Creating your own reusable totes is not only an excellent method for saving the environment and lessening the quantity of plastic entering the oceans, but it's also a fun and utilitarian method for utilizing your favorite fabrics! With your rotary cutter in hand, go over to WeAllSew and create your daily bag of your dreams!
