How to sew a tote bag made from bandannas or handkerchiefs.
4 bandannas or handkerchiefs
1 ½ yards of 1 inch wide webbing for handles
Place right sides together of two bandannas. It may be hard to tell
which is the right side on some bandannas so use what you think looks
best as the right side. Sew along three sides leaving one side open.
Sew the other two handkerchiefs together following the same directions.
One piece will be the inside of the bag the other will be the outside.
Turn one bandanna right side out. Place one bag inside the other. Wrong
sides will be together. Smooth out corners and sides.
The right sides
should be seen on the inside and outside. Turn the top edge of the
handkerchiefs over 1 inch for a hem. Cut two 28 inch webbing and pin
each handle on each side. Sew handles in place.
You can use these directions for sewing a bag with a lining
using any
type of material. Use a bandanna as your
pattern to measure the length and width of your material.
