How to make a Simple Tote Bag -DIY Easy Sew to Sell

This is a quick method to make a simple tote bag with French seams and reinforced straps for a very neat and strong finish.

Easy to make and only takes about ¾ yd of fabric. (0.7 meters)
Great item to sew and sell or to give as a gift.

Cut 2 x bag pieces 17.5” (44.5cm)wide x 19” (48.26cm) long
Cut 2 x straps 4” (10cm) wide x 26” (66cm) long
Finished bag measures approx 16” x 16” (40.6cm x 40.6cm)

In this video, I used cotton canvas. It's a bit thicker than quilting cotton so will be nice and sturdy as a grocery bag.
