How to Sew a Carryall Bag

A carryall bag is a large, versatile bag that can be used for just about everything. It can be a purse, a shopping tote, a beach bag or even a knitting bag and can be a variety of colors, fabrics and prints. You can change the look and function of the bag just by changing the fabric. You can make a trendy purse with a fashion-forward print or a simple shopping tote with a plain canvas. Carryall bags are so easy to sew that you can make one for every occasion.

Instructions

    1

    Cut the bag fabric with the scissors into a rectangle that measures 21 inches wide and 30 inches long. Cut the lining fabric into a rectangle of the same dimensions. Cut two strips of bag fabric, each 4 inches wide and 22 inches long, for the straps.

    2

    Fold each of the long edges on both straps in 1 inch and iron. Fold both straps in half lengthwise and iron. Sew on the sewing machine along each long edge on both straps, 1/8 inch from the edges.

    3

    Fold the bag fabric in half width wise, with right sides facing each other. Sew the sides together 1/2 inch from the edge, starting at the fold and ending at the raw edges. Repeat to the lining fabric.

    4

    Fold the bag so a bottom corner forms a triangle with the side seam centered on top. Measure with the measuring tape along the seam, 2 1/2 inches from the tip of the triangle. Draw a line with the pencil across the corner, perpendicular to the seam.

    5

    Sew along the line you drew. Trim above the sew line to 1/4 inch. Repeat to the other corner of the bag and both corners of the lining.

    6

    Fold the top edges of the bag down 1/2 inch, with the wrong sides facing each other, and iron. Repeat with the lining. Turn the bag right side out. Place the lining inside the bag, matching up the side seams.

    7

    Place the end of one of the straps 1 inch in between the bag and the lining, 4 1/2 inches from the side seams, and pin in place. Place the other end of the strap 1 inch in between the bag and the lining, 4 1/2 inches from the other side seams, and pin in place. Repeat with the other strap.

    8

    Sew around the top of the bag 1/8 inches from the edge. Sew though the bag, lining and straps. Sew around the top of the bag again 1/2 inch from the edge.
