Finished Size: The bottom finished at 11" by 4.5" and the bag finished at 15" wide on the top (measuring the top flat) by 12.5" high (with the finished boxed bottom).
Love the bag. What length were your straps?
This is Gail sewing from Central PA. Love your tutorials, especially for sewing pillow covers and baby items as well as tote bags. Thanks Tamara!
The best tote bag tutorial yet. The French seams really simplify it!!!
After 2 very busy sewing days, I get to watch you work with my heating pad on my shoulders and back. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you for your talent, inspiration and posting this video!
Waukesha, Wisconsin... Great tutorial. Just what I was looking for.
California. Thank you for your video. Short and to the point. Not dragging out like so many.
I’m from AZ, but living in Utah… I have made several of your one piece rag quilts! Now, I can’t wait to sew some tote bags for Christmas.
Thanks for this tutorial. I was looking for one that didn't had a seam across the bottom. Great video
Awesome tutorial!! Easy to follow.
This is my newest favorite bag pattern. I love my first one and intend to make many more. I had directional fabric so had to cut main and sew together at opposite ends.
So glad to hear that! Happy sewing 🧵
I have watched your tutorials many times. Your style of teaching is easy to follow. I have been away from sewing for years and now that I am retired I have relearned so many sewing tips and short cuts for making pillows, hand bags, bindings etc. I am from Mt. Laurel, NJ and so glad you have these on line videos.
Thanks for watching my tutorials and for leaving such a lovely comment! It's awesome to hear that my teaching style is easy to follow and that you've been able to relearn sewing tips. Happy sewing!
Can't wait to make this. Perfect size. Like the longer straps. From PA USA.
Glad to hear it Sharon. I really enjoyed making this one and those straps were a real stickler for me lol! I have never been to Pennsylvania. But one day I hope to make it that way. I have visited the great lakes (lake Erie) but from the north end (Ontario) and loved it!
Indiana, thanks for your tutorial looking forward to making this tote!
You are so welcome Dominique, Happy Sewing!
Tamara: GREAT tutorial!! I added a zipper pocket to one side of the tote and embroidered the initial of the gift recipient to the other side. After working for 40 years in Alaska, now retired and watching from Sioux Falls, South Dakota
That is wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed making this tote bag your own. What a change in locations after so long! I hope you are enjoying being in South Dakota now :)
Thank You, watching from Puerto Rico.
Sewing from Texas! ☺Easy tutorial - thank you for posting!
And thank you for watching it Roxanne 💜 I have been to Texas one time and LOVED it!
You are wonderful teacher - this is my second video and bag successful. I used a heavier interfacing which made it harder to sew but stands up and very sturdy. I am in Arizona.
Thank you for your enthusiastic and great teaching!
I am so glad to hear that Charlotte! I have been in my sewing room most of today. It’s so nice to hear that others enjoy sewing too. And your compliment makes me so happy!!!! It is my goal to teach people in the simplest way without wasting their time. Happy sewing!!
Made one tonight and absolutely love it! Thank you!
That’s awesome Heather! I am so glad to hear it 🥳
Love this bag!!!

Beautiful tote bag.
Watching from Kalamazoo Michigan
Texas---lovely bag and great instructions
Katherine, I love Texas! I have only been once and of course I hit up the Magnolia Silos, but for the rest I saw mainly Austin. It was such a wonderful place.
Watching from the UK. Love watching your tutorials, always so easy to follow and very informative x
Welcome Jo! Thank you for your kind words, they really encourage me to keep on making these tutorials. One day I hope to visit the UK. It looks so picturesque! My Grandparents immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands and I have been back to see where they grew up. But I never got as far as the UK on that trip. It's on my bucket list!
Great Tutorial! Clear and Easy Instructions and I love the longer Straps. Watching from Atlanta, Georgia
Thanks for watching :) Atlanta! I have been there to visit friends, a gorgeous place indeed!!!
The French seems really make this bag shine. Watching this tutorial from cold Michigan.
Thank you Maryann! I too am in the cold at the moment. But I am hoping a warm spring reaches alberta soon!
Love your tutorial. I am a beginner and I want to sew as many totes that I can because I am 93 years old and won't be around much longer and I do love to sew. Thank you Tamara.
💝💝
How wonderful you’re adventurous! I would like you for a neighbor to sew with. Don’t worry about your age; you’re probably too young to be that old. Stay well
and Gods blessings to you.
I am impressed that you are sewing at 93 Gladys!!!! That's amazing!!! My grandmother had your similar spunk, she had arthritis in her hands and kept on doing her card making. She just said it took her a bit longer than it used to. But why stop!?!
Watching from West Green, Georgia. I was looking for a tote bag to make for a Christmas present. This looks super simple so I'll try this, putting a Dresden plate on each side, with the girl's name on the inside circle of the Dresden to personalize the tote. I've never heard of French seams, but they make it so much easier. Thanks for doing this video.
Wow Shirrell! That sounds like a great idea!!!!
Hi Tamara. I keep forgetting how todo this so this tutorial will be going on my Home Screen. I’m from Narberth Pems Wales. Thank you for this I will now have it to look at for as long as I sew. Hugs xxx
FABULOUS VIDEO TAMARA DAHLING! I HAD TO LOOK AT IT TWICE TO REALLY GET THE CONCEPT OF PUTTING THIS BEAUTIFUL BAG TOGETHER (ANOTHER REVEAL TO LET ME KNOW THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO CREATE A TOTE BAG!) AND I LOVE IT! (ESPECIALLY THE FRENCH SEAMS!) I AM FROM ATLANTA GA! I WILL BE DOING THIS BAG. I AM A CREATIVE DESIGNER OF CANVAS TOTE BAGS AND ACESSORIES (CHASSIEDOT CREATIONS, LLC. )
I've made 2 of these now and they really are FUN! Thanks for the tutorial!
Glad you like them!
Watching from Northeast Florida 🌴🌴🌴
This is such a simple, beautiful and easy bag to make, and I love that your instructions are “sew” simple, and measurements are in inches…a big bonus for me and others, I’m sure. Clever girl and lovely, too. I’m in RI, smallest state in USA.
Thank you so much Jill! RI looks like a wonderful state, one day I hope to see it in person :)
Lovely tote bag! Great idea to use a French seam on the side seams. (Re: your question: I'm watching from BC Canada).
