How To Sew A Simple Knot Strap Bag: No-Pattern Sewing For Beginners!
Everyone loves a bag, and a sturdy tote that needs no pattern is a bonus for beginner stitchers. Made in practically any size you like, all you need is a strip of fabric that is about three times longer than it is wide. Hem the sides, knot the centre, and simply stitch into a bag shape. Make a little one to hold your phone on a night out, a tiny one for stowing dog treats and poo bags, a mid sized version for holding your knitting yarn on the go, or size up for the weekly grocery shop. This will be your new best bag!

    Based on the accent, I am presuming that the Treble in US terms would be a US Double Crochet? Is that a correct assumption? It always helps given the accessibility of these videos to have a statement whether instructions are UK or US terminology. The hands are moving to fast without real close-up to be able to determine based on noting the number of Yarn Overs being used in each stitch. I do like the idea to work over a larger elastic rings that it might be a fidget item on someone's arm.

    • @TheCraftsChannel

I turned to You Tube and found your video. I know that you are the same lady from whom I received the pattern. The video explained the process so well. I was pleased to see it. It just made it so simple for me to sew it. The problem that I could not figure out from the directions was how to sew the dress & turn it right side out. The video was really informative......not so the written directions that came with the templates. Thank you for the video. 🙂
