Instructor Kristin Link of "Sew Mama, Sew!" introduces herself and shares an overview of the two gorgeous bags you'll make.
Make the outside pieces of this versatile bag, sew them together, box the bottom and make and attach the handles.
Follow along with Kristin as you make and attach a pocket to the lining, sew the lining and join the lining and exterior. Want the pocket on the outside? Just turn the bag inside-out! It's fully reversible.
Create an adorable zippered pouch that can hold makeup, sewing notions, school supplies and more. Your bag comes to life as you assemble your pieces, then sew the front with a zipper. Kristin's easy zipper technique will make you smile!
Complete your new zipper pouch as you sew a little strap, attach it and assemble the rest of the bag. You'll have a custom accessory for yourself or to give as a gift. Don't be surprised when all your friends ask you to make them bags, too!

    Just at the end of the tote bag instructions, when you are pinning both bags together, it was hard to see if the handles were tucked in (for sewing) or left out. I re-wound the video several times and finally concluded they are tucked in. It was the only unclear part of your instructions. Love the bag!
