Tutorial HandBag Handmade

Bags are necessities more than wants. Whether it is a handmade tote bag, handmade diaper bag or handmade wallet, we all need bags for our day to day activities. Making your own handmade tote bag is easy especially if you are crafty, creative and resourceful. A little cutting here and a little sewing there, you will have your handmade wallet in no time. To make your handmade tote, follow the simple instructions below.

First, gather all your materials needed. For this project, we will make a handmade wallet that is 6" in width, 7" in length and 9" in height. Hence, we will use a fabric that is 14" in width and 26" in length for the handmade wallet. For the strap of the handmade purse, you will need an 80-inch cotton webbing strap. For the pocket, you will need a 14" x 9" fabric, although this is optional. You will also need thread that matches the color of the fabric, needle, scissors and sewing machine.

Step 1: Position the wide fabric right side up and the fabric for the pocket right side up. Position the raw edge of the fabric for the pocket 2.5" under and parallel to the top margin of the fabric for the bag. Tack the raw edges of the pocket fabric with different thread to serve as the guide as you place the handmade wallet's strap.
