I decided I needed some help. If you haven’t noticed, I have a little thing for the Vintage Modern fabric line and for boxyish bags. I like to use charm packs any way I can. Because, now you’re going to take a ruler and cut each of the rows you just sewed together in half. Line up your rows and sew them together with a 1/4 inch seam. Now you have your exterior scrappy fabric panel. Now, take the exterior panel and fold it in half with the right sides facing each other. Box those corners! I only put this step in here, because I was so distracted when I did this last week, that I actually cut right on the line, because you know that’s what lines are for, right?

See, magic! You need a lining. Time for the magic! Now it’s time to make a handle. Turn it! Finished! Make A Bag Chapter 8: Darted Tote. With the 2-D flat totes behind us, we venture now into 3-D bag territory!

Then the bag is folded along its midline (red arrow), with its RS together, and the side seams sewn up (black arrows). I'm Back and celebrating with a Fabric Bucket TUTORIAL!!!

Do you ever hear your phone ringing while you’re out and about, and say to yourself, “Ah, what’s the point, I’ll never find it in time anyway.” … Me too. I think this little DIY experiment might be made for you… So here are the contents of my bag regularly tossed around, and difficult to locate: A cereal box will come to the rescue as the support for my new organizer.
