Sew Tote Bag Instructions

Sew tote bag instructions for an easy kids sewing project.
You will need the following for making a tote bag:
1 yard material cut into the following sizes:
2 pieces 13 x 17 inch
2 pieces 3 x 26 inch for straps

Place 13 x 17 inch rectangles right sides together. Sew the two pieces together around the three sides leaving the top open. Turn the top edge over 1 inch and hem in place. Set aside. To make straps, place each piece of 3 x 26 inch material in half with right sides together. Stitch along sides.

Turn right sides out. Pin straps to each piece of 13 x 17 inch material 4 inches from the edge.

Stitch over straps backstitching to secure.

You can sew your own tote bag in various sizes. Experiment if you would like a different size.

A smaller size bag makes a great goodie bag for a party.
