Sewing tutorial: my tote bag in 5 steps

sewing tutorial beginner tote bag bag accessory charlotte auzou

The tote bag has become an essential accessory in recent years. A gift from many brands, the ultimate "zero waste" accessory to always have with you, it can also be a perfect sewing project for beginners who want a simple project to discover sewing or get to grips with their new sewing machine.

I offer you a 5-step tutorial to sew your tote bag. As for the fabric, choose more or less thick cottons with a little hold and avoid fluid fabrics, especially if you are a beginner. And even better, enhance your fabric scraps! Then don't forget to personalize your tote bag with embroidery, appliqués, textile paint or iron-on glitter transfer :)

And if you add a small interior pocket, you can fold your tote bag and always have it neatly stored in your handbag.

Bonjour Charlotte,

Je m’apprête à réaliser ce tote bag.
Merci pour le partage et les explications.
Quelles sont les mesures des différents tissus ?
Pour confectionner la pochette de rangement, serait-il possible d’avoir les explications ?
Les mesures et le pas à pas ?
D’avance merci.
