Hello...How are you friends, I hope you are having an incredible day, today I thought of making a reusable bag or (Tote bag) at home, these bags are very useful when we go to the supermarket and we can't find where to put our things or food and mainly we want the bag we carry to have enough space to put them but it turns out that we are surprised that it doesn't and then we are there handling many bags that they give us at the market, but that's over, you see these bags are reusable and they help a lot in those moments to store and carry whatever we want anywhere, the incredible thing is that they are easy to make and well I am glad to know that I have learned to make it, because I think it is a good business to sell these bags and thus contribute to conserving the environment 🌿.

I really like sewing and I feel that making these bags makes me think that I can contribute my grain of sand to conserve the environment. Due to the increasing level of plastic pollution on the planet, it is important that we become aware now and do what is in our hands, such as saving water, keeping the place where we live clean, and of course, recycling.

Tote bags are designed to make your life easier and simpler, they are very easy to make and here I show you how you can make one with any piece of fabric you have at home, you can even make your own patterns and thus be able to guide you, in this case I used a measuring tape to measure the desired length of my bag, another thing is that you can opt for slightly more resistant fabrics that will make your market bag last much longer and you can put a lot of things in it if you are one of those who carries a lot of things wherever you go.

Pasos a seguir://Steps to follow:

Paso 01

Step 01

Here, as you can see, I started by cutting the main pieces for the confection. In this case, we will cut a square of the size we want. We will also cut pieces for the handles and pieces to reinforce the handles or grips. Then, we will cut a complete bias 7 cm wide to make the ruffle that goes around the bag as a detail. These are the pieces that we will use to make my tote bag.

Paso 02

Step 02

I started sewing the bias first, joining it in each part where I had to join it because I didn't have enough and since it's a long strip, I joined it in each part, then I sewed it along the edge and left it like that. I sewed the edge of the corners of the bias with a straight seam, with a small hem.

Paso 03

Step 03

I proceed to sew the bias along one of the square pieces that will form the flap on the sides of the bag. In this case, I made small planks. Of course, I joined it to the piece first with a few pins so that it wouldn't come loose and I could sew well. Then I sewed the other square piece on top and sewed the edge.

Paso 04

Step 04

I finished by sewing the inside piece that will reinforce the straps where I will sew them. I added some pelon or thick shirt collar fabric to these pieces to reinforce them. I joined them together, then sewed the straps and turned them inside out. I then placed them in the tote bag where I wanted them to go. Then I tucked this fabric inside and was able to reinforce this part by sewing it with a straight seam over the top, and we're done.

Resultado:// Result:

Here up to this point I show you what our finished tote bag looks like. The truth is that it is very simple, very pretty and ready to use. Although the fabric I had and with which I made it was a little soft, it won't hold so many heavy things, but I know that it will be very useful to put the necessary things in.
