Ok kids, this one is for you out there.
You know I love my fruits and vegetables.
But I love to buy them local at the farmer's market.
So today's tutorial is this awesome tote bag using just a half yard of fabric.
Let's get started.
That's right, all you need for today's tutorial is a half yard.
This is one of the wonderful Fresh Squeezed by Maria Kalonowski, I hope I said that right,
from Canvas Fabrics.
All kinds of great fruit and veggie prints out there.
And also you need from the link down below is the free printable that will show you all
the dimensions you need for your half yard market bag.
So check this out.
You can see here that we've got them so easily printed but even better for you I've
got a version in here that I've already created on my piece of fabric.
And this is what I would like you to do also, right?
Take your half yard.
True up the edges, square up those edges and then you're basically just making a perimeter
in here that's going to be about 12 inches across, seven inches and save both of those
pieces.
They will be used for your pockets on the outside of the bag.
So I'm going to quickly cut this and I'm using a rotary cutter and ruler.
But one of the tricks that I like to do is down at this corner I'm going to come just
maybe a quarter inch, a little bit past that line down there.
And I'm going to use that as a method for turning those corners as I'm stitching all
of the edge down.
So if you go a little bit past your line.
I do like to draw it in first to make sure I have the measurements correctly.
And I'm just going to roll just a little bit past there.
And just a little bit past there again, just a little bit.
You can see there's a little gap in there and that will help us a little bit.
And like I said, we now have two perfect pocket pieces as well.
And that's where our sewing starts today.
Now it's super simple and I've kind of made some of these pieces for us as we get
started.
So here is the beginning of a pocket.
And what I want you to do is I want you to start on your side seams.
And you're going to double fold this over.
So once and twice.
And then we're just going to run this over to the sewing machine real quick.
Run a stitch down that.
These are real, real simple exterior pockets.
They don't have to match anything.
So I want you to do these just quick.
So you'll do both side seams first.
And those are double folded.
And then the, excuse me the top we're going to use where the selvedge, where that printed
line was.
Now that's a little extra finishing they do on there.
Not to get too technical with you today.
But if I turn this underneath I'm not going to get a raw edge but I don't have to double
fold it either.
So I"m going to keep that selvedge as part of my construction today.
And I'm going to slide that under the machine.
And I'm basically using polyester thread because I want it to be nice and strong.
I eat a lot of broccoli and that broccoli weighs a lot.
So I need good strong seams in this bag.Ok and now our pocket is prepped.
We do this for both pockets.
I already have one of the pockets on the sample bag where I'm going to walk you through.
Double folded on the sides, single folded on the top.
No stitching at all on the bottom because what I want you to now do is bring your bag
blank back onto the table.
And I would like you to open it up so that it is now showing your right sides.
Then I want you to come down to your ruler here and you're going to measure down eight
inches.
So from eight down.
And you're just going to eyeball the bag pocket right into place.
And when I say eyeball I'm kind of lining up just like yay.
And you can see that these are now right sides together.
I need a couple of straight pins.
I'm going to basically pin near the corners.
But I'm going to be doing a sewing line right across there so I don't want to pin
in the corners itself.
Let's head over to the sewing machine, drop that seam allowance right across there on
the bottom end of that pocket.
I'm going to get my chair a little more comfortable.
You know what they always say, take the ladder to the job and not the job to the ladder,
the same with your sewing chair.
Make sure you're nice and comfy.
And because it's a pocket I'm going to backstitch as I'm setting it on.
And I'm just using the pocket itself as my seam guide.
And backstitching again.
Now once the base of the pocket is stitched into place let's pull these pins out.
And then we're just going to fold this pocket back up, right?
And then from here I'm going to sew from the bottom up and the bottom up.
But I'm also going to put a third seam right in here.
And you can see that I've actually already done that on another pocket.
I don't know that you can see because it matches so nice.
But again this pocket is up.
It's been stitched here.
So I've got stitching in the middle to create two beautiful pockets like that.
And now we are ready to start trimming out the bag itself.
Let's talk about trimming out the rest of the bag.
We need to do the side seams and we also need to do the opening in the bag where the pocket
came from, right?
Start with the outside.
It's a simple double fold again.
So I'm just going to take this and roll this in my fingers.
Let's keep this as narrow as possible.
We want to maximize this.
This is the handle we're building right now so we don't want it to be too small.
And I also should point out that I'm going to start about two inches below the opening
from the center of the bag.
So let's go ahead and talk about double folding this from down here and up.
And that gives us a nice extra amount of space to slide our hands in on our bag.
Put lots and lots of watermelons and stuff in here, big things.
Ok, I'm just double folding and rolling this is easy.
And you'll do this to both sides.
And as I'm finishing this one I will confess that I've already done the other to help
speed things up.
We also need to do that area I keep referring to as the gap.
But it's basically the area where the pocket came from.
This will also be double folded.
And what I want to do is I want to kind of start on the outside of my bag because it's
going to make it easier to do this transition through that squared corner.
And that's where those little extra cuts I mentioned when we were cutting with the
ruler came in handy.
So I'm going to topstitch again or backstitch I should say.
And then as I'm going to down towards the bottom of this corner.
What I'm going to do, let me get this seam guide out of the way because I'm not even
using it right now.
Let's just move that so you can all see.
I'm actually, this is the corner right here.
And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to pull this corner straight and again double
folding it straight.
I know, it seems kind of odd.
And then I'm going to come through and I'm looking really, really close at my needle.
Once my needle gets about three stitches or two stitches into the area where the corner
started, then I lift and turn, keeping a good grip on that double fold.
Get about a quarter turn in there.
Get a couple more stitches, lift and turn again.
And now I've secured that.
And I come right through.
And it's really easy to do.
If you cut that gap a little too big, don't panic.
You might get a couple of loose threads over time.
You could put a little drop of fray check or glue something in there.
This is just to prevent the bags from becoming wearing out too quick.
You've probably already made six of these in the amount of time it's taken me to describe
it in this one video today.
These are so fast.
And again I'm pulling it straight, coming a couple stitches in and then rotating through,
about a quarter turn, catching a couple more stitches.
And then the final here to get all those little guys.
And keep my double fold double folded.
Just like that.
There we go.
Super easy.
And the last little bit.
Ok, now we can trim off our loose threads if we need up here.
But I do want me selvedges in place also.
We left those intentionally as well not just for the pocket, but for the top.
Your next step, maybe I should take it and slow down and point out what we've just
done.
We started on this outside trim a couple of inches down below the opening for the pocket,
ok?
And I did both sides you just saw me do one of them.
Then I did this opening.
And of course I had already done the opening on the other sides of the bag on the other
side as well.
So from this point on we're going to go right sides together.
I'm going to bring this up.
And our next step is we're going to lay these handles just like this.
Right sides together.
And I'm going to stitch once across right where the selvedges meet and a second time
to topstitch.
Your handles may not be exactly the same width because of the random double fold and twist.
It doesn't matter.
It's just a little handle.
But I am going to make sure I'm backstitching at the beginning and the end.
Ok, so I just did the right sides together.
Now I'm simply just going to pull this out like this.
So now I'm going to come right back in to the machine and I'm going to sew the finished
edge right down on top of that seam allowance . And that makes that seam at the top of your
handle nice and strong and keeps it from flapping around.
So let's make sure I don't have any twists.
I'm going to do this one again really quick for us.
And then we are done basically with our project once we get our side seams on.
And those are super easy.
Ok, we're going to topstitch that down.
Doesn't even matter if it's in the same direction as the other handle.
Just get her done.
Ok, so now basically we're going to go ahead and go down here.
And I'm just lining up my bag.
Making sure I didn't get any twists.
I had a quick little panic there for a second.
I thought for sure I had a twist in the bag.
So let's line this up.
And here if you wanted to hit this with your iron to press it, you could.
Now what we're going to do is we're going to go where those side seams match up where
the folding is already been finished and we're just going to stitch all the way down to the
bottom corner with that.
And always on this project we are backstitching at the beginning of our stitching.
Just come on down real easy.
I'm going to do the same to the other side of the bag and I'll be right back to show
you how to finish with your box corners.
At this point your bag should be completely constructed.
You have your side seams on.
You have your handles built, your pockets are in.
Now it's time for the box corner.
Now the box corner if you don't know that term already is done by creating a seam across
the bottom that actually is running perpendicular or in the opposite direction as the side seam.
The trick all comes from making the fold and making the stitch.
And I'm going to try to show you an easy way to do that here in a second.
But this is where we're going for.
We have folded, drawn and stitched across this line.
And it will be two inches from this tip back to our sewn line.
But like I said, the key is getting the fold just right.
So what you want to do is you want to come to the bottom where you were working already.
And I'm actually just going to focus on one corner at a time.
And I want my seam on the up side.
The seam from the sides of the bag on the up side like this, ok?
And then what you can do is you can find your 45 degree mark on your ruler, right?
That's 45 degrees there.
And then I said I wanted it two inches, right?
One, two, from the tip.
So now this 45 is on the sides and this is running right along the center of that seam.
Now I can come in here and I can just draw that line just like that.
Now I want you to do one box corner, go to your sewing machine like I'm going to do
and stitch it so that nothing moves.
You'll have your seam guide out of the way now if you haven't already taken it out
of the way.
Let's go ahead and backstitch at the beginning and the end.
Another thing I want to point out, make sure you don't have a lot of the bulk of the
bag underneath so you didn't just make a lot of box gaps versus one box corner.
I think you know what I'm referring to.
And I don't want you to cut this off ever.
If just adds strength to the bottom corner of the bag, right?
But I also want to make sure that I got it just right before I do the other side.
So I'm going to open it up.
I'm going to stick my hand in there.
I'm going to look for it.
I love the way it looks.
Now the second side is even easier because we already have created that fold in the bottom.
So I'm just going to pinch it again.
Lay it down here flat.
I'll walk you through the steps just so you see the second time.
So I've got my 45 , I'm going to come up two inches to that tip.
It doesn't have to be exact but close is really good.
I'm going to draw that line.
And then once that line is drawn, let's just finish it.
I want to show you the finished project.
I've got to do it.
But what I want to do right now while I'm sewing this through, let's get ready to
wrap up today's video.
We know we love all your comments out there.
We love hearing back from you.
So recently my brother and sister-in-law turned me onto a new vegetable called romanesco.
So in the comments below let me know, have you tried romanesco before and what do you
think it is a hybrid of and other than that, I want to hear what your favorite vegetables
are while I'm finishing up the rest of this bag.
And having a blast getting ready to hit the farmer's market with all of you right here
at Man Sewing.
