Rob shows us how to make a cool tote bag out of 2.5 inch strips of precut fabric (jelly rolls). Rob used Road Trip Rolie Polie by Kelly Panacci for Riley Blake. Learn how to sew boxed corners and attach a handle.

Rob to give you a tip about you triangle bottom pieces. Since your not cutting them, attach a button at the tip of the triangle on both sides of the bag. Now you have a reversible bag.
Awesome bag Rob.
Great idea, Cheryl! Thank you for sharing!
that really is a great idea. Thanks
Cheryl Matthews what an amazingly great idea.
Thanks Beth
Thanks Susan
Fabulous bag for almost $40. Will try it first with scraps, of which I have many. I'm sure I can come up with a reasonable facsimile Love the use of the zig-zag for strength.
Great idea, Susan! I'd love to see a picture of your finished project!
I made a small throw with 2 pillows for my son's camper. The family loved the 3 pieces, and it goes perfectly with their camper. I must say, the material was perfect
That sounds like an awesome project, Jean!
I found that my strips were less wavy when I switched to a walking foot and also sewed the next strip on the opposite end. Thank you Rob! Keep making your videos!!!
Hi Rob I used this technique on a smaller scale to make a make up bag. It turned out lovely. Thank you
Going to try this with old jeans,i loooove your bag of many colours, fabulous.cool t shirt.
Love that it's made out of a Jelly Roll! No cutting...some ironing and ready to sew!
Added a topstitched extra strip as a tie closure and made a zipper pouch to clip onto the twill tape loop suggested by another viewer. This was a FANTASTIC project. Thanks, Rob!
Watched again so I had all the steps written down. I saw the color strata quilt hanging in the background. Found your tutorial on it and that's my next project.
Fantastic, Patricia! I hope you have tons of fun working on your Color Strata quilt!
Love this! I had bought a roll of 2-12 inch strips a while back and was not sure what I wanted to make with it, but now I do. After watching your video, I found my strips and started ironing them and tomorrow I hope to make the bag. TFS!
Awesome, Marieville55! I hope you have a great time making this bag! Feel free to share a picture of your project on my Man Sewing Facebook page!
Ok,I'm impressed. I thought of trying this many years ago,however I waited. Waited for someone to show me their system. Thank You.
I love this method of sewing and the options are endless, it would make some lovely place mats using scraps! thank you for sharing Rob , I always look forward to your videos.
Rob- Your tutorials are great!!! I really appreciate how I (a beginner) can follow them and create something special! Thank you!
Thank you for tuning into the Man Sewing tutorials!
I like how patient you are during the video and how creative your designs are keep up the good work.
Rob, I am going "camping" in my trailer this weekend. I am going to make this bag. Thank you sew much for this incredible video. Love you inspirations.
Awesome, Karen! I hope you had fun creating your Folded Strips Bag! Thanks for watching Man Sewing!
Love this bag. Also want to thank you for showing us how to use the rulers to make the boxed corners. My corners are some much better now.
Awesome! I am so happy you enjoyed the tutorial, Donna!
I just finished mine with a couple of tweaks (because I never follow directions exactly). I sewed my strips in pairs first with open sides facing then in pairs again and again until it was all sewn together. I also did my handles differently, more like a fabric grocery sack. Thanks for getting me inspired.
i just finished this. It looks great. I strongly advise sewing the pieces as he shows, unless you like waves (ask me how I know?) The bag looks amazing. I took a viewers advice and added buttons to the flaps and added a closure flap with the left over strips, I had two, and made it look like the handle. I then made a small opening between two pieces to act as a button hole and placed a button on both sides to keep it reversible. It is a gift for someone who follows on Facebook so I can't send a picture.....yet. Thanks for this wonderful idea.
I'm so glad you made the folded strips bag, Beth! If you would like, feel free to share a picture of it with me on my Man Sewing Facebook page!

I loved this bag. Thought haha I’d make 2 for my adult daughters. I’m almost finished sewing the strips and are they EVER WAVY 😳😡
Since you did too and said it looked fine....how did you finish it
OR
Do you not notice after completing??
Love the bag! This technique would also work for making placemats..
I have made two already, and it is awesome!! Love it a lot! The ironing not so much, it is kind of time consuming, but it is the only wayto do it. You make things different than the rest, I also made the quilt behind you!
That's awesome, Mildred! I'm happy to hear you are making lots of Folded Strips Bags, and the Color Strata Quilt! Have fun sewing!
I am thinking Christmas presents. Who wouldn't want a bag like that? Thinking a bit out of the box, I could take the one side (no longer being reversible)and put laminate (the do it yourself is soooo much cheaper then purchasing fabric already laminated) over the fabric and I could use it as a great beach bag. Ideas are stirring. I truly enjoy your tutorials and look forward to them every week.
Fantastic idea, Susan! Thank you so much for tuning in! I can't wait to see what you create!
I am cheating and will use a bias tape maker (I plan on making lots of bags). I have been looking in my mail box every day waiting for it to come. I will use a 2" one and most of the stores don't carry it and neither does MSQC (the first place I looked). I will post a picture when I finish my bag. I fluff up like a proud peacock when I make something and can't wait to show it off especially to people who appreciate the time and effort.
You know what would be great for this? A bias strip tool that uses 2 1/2 strips.
What a fun bag, and you make it look so easy Rob. Thanks.
Thank you for watching, Kim! I hope you have fun making a fabric strip bag!
Great bag, great tutorial, thank you so much Rob. Thank you as well to Cheryl for the nice idea.
Loved it, and liked the suggestion about the buttons to make it completely reversible, good idea!!
The possibilities are endless ! Thankyou Rob
Hi Rob, great bag and great method! I encase a dollar store cutting mat (plastic) in fabric to match - cut to the size of bottom of the bag to give more stability to the bottom!
That's a great idea, Becky!
that is so neat.. I can not wait to try it. I have a male friend who has never quilted before, and he is wanting to learn how to. I sent him this video to watch. I told him it would be so easy for him to do, plus w/ the help of your video and any help I can give him I believe he will be fine. Love your videos :)
Well, this is a fun technique! I have so many jellyrolls that I've never used. I will give this a go, thanks.
You'll have to share a pic when you do!
So wonderful. it can be useful for day excursion, shopping & spending a day at the club. It also looks durable. Thanks.
Hope you have fun creating this bag, Wafaa!
Great looking bag, love the colour combination, thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh.. awesome tutorial!!!! You rock Rob.
this bag would also look great if using solids and a nice variegated thread. thanks.
Great idea, Myra!
I have been trying to think of gift ideas for family members. This bag is terrific!
This is a great project to work on while my sewing machine is in the shop.
Hope you have fun creating your Folded Strips Bag, Martha! I also hope your sewing machine is back in action, soon! :)
If you left off the strap and shortened the bag height it would be a great sewing machine cover! Like the bag too!
Great idea!
A unique bag. I like your teaching methods. Keep the videos coming.
Love love love the way you explain everything! Thank you so much 😊
You always do a great job of explaining things. I love you flaming scissors shirt.
Thanks for tuning in, Nancy!
Genius idea for a very sturdy bag!!! Love it. Thanks for sharing. Will have to make this one.
I hope you have fun making this bag, Pam! Thanks for tuning in!
Man Sewing hi
Rob! You’re killing me! I have to finish my 6 other projects before I can start this one! Great bag! I love it!!!
This bag is fabulous. I was going to do a different jelly roll bag, but now it will be this one for sure! Thanks for all the great videos. p.s. My nephew who is in the military is a fabulous sewer as well, and I love sharing your videos with him too
I'm so glad you like this bag, Beatrice! Thank you for tuning into the Man Sewing tutorials, and please send my thanks to your nephew for his service! Hope you are both working on some fun projects!
I love your videos. OK, so I'm a girl sewer, but hey you're great. You've inspired me to think out of the box. recently I made my man a tool roll and a cover for his ladders (they're very long) out of doubled over commercial grade weed control matting (hey it's fabric!) so that they get some weather protection and don't stick out. Thank you.
Hi Bev! That sounds like a clever way to create some useful covers! Thanks for tuning in!
Your videos are so interesting and awesome, I LOVE watching them!! I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you!!!
Thanks for tuning in, Edie! I hope you are having fun sewing!

Thank you, so much Rob, for this wonderful video. I really like the way you did this bag.
Brilliant Rob , makes good sense !
15:30 through 15:40
I go one step further and wrap the top piece of the selvage end underneath the tail end, it makes it look more finished rather than one binding just sitting on top of the other.
Hi Rob. Great bag! Love your creativity! Keep them coming. You have inspired me to buy my first jelly rolls, along with a cutting board and rotary cutter! I will work on an overlocker next, then maybe a quilter! So love my sewing.
And my ruler is just the best!😀
That's fantastic, Kylie! Thank you so much for tuning in! I am so excited that you are sewing! I hope you have fun making the Folded Strips Bag! :)
So strong and sturdy! Thx! You have inspired not only me, but my 13 yr old son. He just entered his second quilt in the county fair, and got 6th place!! Congrats on your 5 yrs as well. We are all works in progress!! Keep up the great work! Also, what are the final dimensions of the bag ? (I think I missed that. )
wow. congrats to your son!!! that is amazing....well done sir!!!!
Love your tutorials. Full of great tips and good energy
Thanks Monica! Hope you are working on some fun projects!
This is a novel idea for me. Your presentation is perfect. I try this bag. Thank You.
Such an Amazing demonstration and you always make things look so easy thank you Rob (smiles n hugss)
Great video and am totally impressed with your sewing skills.
Hi from New Zealand Rob. Another great tutorial with a technique I can't wait to try. I reckon that method would make a darn good & strong quilters bag with lots of pockets inside. Thank you
Love this idea. This might be my next project. Thanks for the fun tutorials that you do.

Absolutely adore this.
omg!!! you are really reading my mind!!! i love this video!!! you really helped with an idea for a project I'm working on!!! i cut and ironed my fabric and my next
step is to zig zag the strips ... I plan on making a hat but this was sooo helpful!!! thanks for reading my mind showing a way to finish the edge and the zig zag technique!!!
Glad you enjoyed the Folded Strips Bag tutorial, MariaRChiJones! I hope you have fun zig-zag stitching up your project!
yes i did enjoy it ... i didn't see that technique before and i wanted to do something different... how can i show u my finished product
Great to hear! You can share it with me on my Man Sewing Facebook page, or email it to me at hello@mansewing.com
Great tutorial. Love this bag!!
Wow! Love this bag, going to have to make one. Thanks Rob!
love it! my next project.
Wow thank you Rob for Free download (smiles n huggs)
Oh, fun bag for me to try!!!
Another great idea, project, tutorial! Love all you do!
Almost forgot this hint I learned about binding, make sure bottom side is a 2 mm bigger, that way you never miss it when you sew on top
Tina Wemyss is
or visa versa, top 2mm bigger than bottom, which ever you prefer, learned it at a workshop and almost forgot, hahaha
A lot of sewing machines have an overcast setting - use that for the side of the bag rather than a zig zag. Or if you have an overlocker a rolled hem might look nice in very tight satin stitch.
There is a tool called the sasher. You can pick it up in multi sizes. Fold first inch then put through tool, pin to ironing board and run and sasher down the length of fabric. Comes from Australia.
You should use a edge joining foot to keep the strips lined. When you use it you don't have to worry so much when sewing them together the just feed up in the join it perfect.
This is fabulous. So handy. Thanks for sharing.
Love It! Your ideas are super! Can't wait to try this one with a little change it brought as an idea I want to try. I keep watching and look forward to your next video.
Thank you for tuning in, Patricia!
