The funny thing about putting together a tutorial is that you often do not realize what pictures were necessary until after you are done sewing the project! So I will say up front that some of the pictures do not seem to match the step. My hope is that my words will make things clear!
This bag is a perfect project for a beginning sew-er or for a mother teaching a daughter to sew. Ages 10 and up will be able to handle this with some patient guidance.
The bag measures 13" X10" and it has a 29" strap making it a perfect library totebag for a girl, aged 4 or older. Tips for making the bag bigger are given in the last step of the tutorial.
Many people tell me that they would love to sew, but they just don't know where to start. My advice is to pick a simple project and go for it. I have sewn for many years and lots of my projects have ended up in the trash, but I count those as learning experiences! As with anything in life, you have to start somewhere!
You will find the tutorial here and also in my sidebar.
Happy sewing!
