I just wanted to let everyone know that we have published a video tutorial on Sewing the Small Canvas Tote Bag on our YouTube channel.
In this tote bag video tutorial, we take you through all the steps involved in sewing this fun project. We look at the materials required as well as each of the steps involved in assembling and sewing this cute little accessory.
I didn't do a lot of narration in this sewing tutorial, preferring just to show you the steps along with clear and concise labels of the process involved in the project. Feel free to pause the video at any time if you need more time to complete the step.
This is a fun and relatively easy sewing project for the advanced beginner to intermediate sewists. Please enjoy and don't forget to Like and Subscribe over on YouTube. We really appreciate it.

Hi Mayra, Thank you for the free tote bag pattern. A couple of years ago, I asked you if you could design a pattern for a diaper bag and that I would buy it. I never heard from you again. To date, I haven’t been able to find the appropriate pattern and tutorial on how to make this diaper bag. Thank you, saludos y muchas bendiciones! Rosa Pérez desde Connecticut. XOXO
Hello Rosa, Life has taken a topsy turvy kind of way, my plate is full at the moment. I have experience loss and painful challenges, but I getting back on my feet. i hope you can understand.
Hi, have you produced the double pocket pouch VIDEO yet?. I read the tutorial, but need to SEE how it is sewn to the bottom of the bag. Thanks!
Hi Denise, I have not edited the video yet. Soon I hope…
This video is awesome! I appreciate that it is quick to watch, and I can always watch it again if needed. The bag is so cute. Thank you for the pattern.
Thank you Debra, it is really an easy bag to make.
I loved the pattern and made one last night for my daughter. Do you have a little pattern and directions for those zip pockets?
Hi Maureen, the tutorial for the extra pockets was published yesterday. Here you go: https://so-sew-easy.com/add-extra-pockets-tote-bag/
I noticed there is a pattern piece for a handle, but no instructions using it. Would the ends of the handles be sewn to the top at the seam lines?
Hi Bev, yes that is exactly right I will be loading a video about this and also how to turn the whole thing a cross body bag and add a double pocket pouch at the bottom.
Thank you so much for all these patterns and tutorials. Watching this one today was somehow like watching a sewing ballet or something, sort of graceful and definitely inspiring. 🙂
Thank you Jane, you are very kind 🙂
