This is truly the best reversible shopping bag pattern available. The method that Jess presents is genius for several reasons: the clever way of adding the lining, enclosing the seams, and attaching the woven straps are simple to sew yet makes the bag very sturdy. I make more than a hundred each summer to donate to a local breast cancer clinic to give the patients, so I verify what a huge time savings Jess's method makes. It was an 'ah ha!' moment for me- I instantly sewed a bag Jess's way and was thrilled to be able to complete the bag in less than 15 minutes. Game changer!! For those that are new to sewing, don't worry if it takes you much longer to complete, that's normal. Even as a veteran sewer, the first time I use a new clothing pattern, it takes me a couple of days because I really have to think about the sequence etc. What is revolutionary about Jess's sequence is sewing the straps as the same time as the finished edge- previously I would finish the edge and then sew the straps on top of that. In addition, I sewed 2 separate bags and attached them together for lining- big time waster. Lastly, using the French/flat seam method for the raw edges is so quick and very durable. Previously I was serging the raw edges of both lining and outer bag before combining, so yeah, it was a day's work to complete one lined shopping bag. I am so excited because I now sew lined shopping bags the Jess way, I whipped up my hundred bags in 6 days! Thank you, thank you Jess for sharing this!

You don't know what a comfort it was for me to 'hear' that even veteran sewers take time to adjust to making a new project. I thought there was something wrong with me because my project is a messenger bag and it was taking me forever to figure it out. I've never made a bag before and I would say I am a mid-experienced sewer. And of course, everything looks easier on online tutorials. :) This bag will be my next project!

As a beginner at sewing, I love, love to create this bag! I have made like 20 of them now, giving to all my family and friends. Thank you and Purl for helping me.

I always get my husband to cut my fabric, he does it so accurately, he's my angel.❤ Beautiful bag, so easy to follow thank you

The bag is beautiful, and you're adorable! Who knew sewing an ordinary item could be so much fun! Yay! 😊 🎉

When you need to press 1/2” in for example, here is an easier way to measure for the fold: instead of marking at 1/2” and trying to fold on that line, make a mark at DOUBLE what you want (1” here) and fold the raw edge to your marked line.

My bag turned out well - though it took me much longer to make. The material I bought was directional, so I needed to create a bottom seam. I also added a recessed zipper to it (tucked it under the top seams with the handles) and d rings in case I want to use a crossbody strap to it while I walk home from the grocery store. I even put in a chicago screw rivet for the d ring strap. :D I think next time I do this bag with a recessed zipper, it might be easier to make it as a drop-in lining or topstitch the lining last? The bag is not perfect and took way longer than I thought it should, but I still had the same satisfaction you had: Wow, I made this beautiful bag!

I love, love, love this bag, and my husband does too because he does the grocery shopping. I am definitely going to make more, and when I show them to my sisters I know that they will want one or several of them. Thank you for your great tutorials. Keep up the great videos.

I really loved your tutorial. The way you explain everything made it super easy to understand. Thank you so much. I have made 6 bags in the last 2 days and have material cut for 6 more. For a slightly bigger bag with no wasted material I bought 2 - 7' lengths of material which will make 4 bags when done. I first cut them lengthwise along the fold they had on the bolt. Then I folded each in half and cut along that line. This made each piece of material approximately 22" wide x 42" long. After placing one of each piece of material together (bad sides together) I marked, folded and ironed each side so I would have two inches of the inner lining fabric to decorate the top edge of the bag where the handles would go. *** For those who prefer the look of a 4" band along the top (which I found that I prefer) buy 2 - 7' 8" lengths of material. After cutting each piece of fabric into 4 pieces, they should be approximately 22" w x 46" long. *** I followed your directions on everything else except when boxing the bottom of the bag. I preferred a bigger boxed area so I made my initial mark as 5" on each side. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!

I could be using these at the hardware store, the pet store, Walmart (I hate going there, but whatcha gonna do??), at my FAVORITE: thrift stores, at...well, you get the picture. LOL

I love this! I always heat bonded my lining to my canvas because I’m lazy, but I’m gonna give your lining a try! Your boxed corners are easier, too. I get cheap plastic cutting mats and cut them with my scissors to fit the bottoms to give a nice flat surface for my groceries. When I need to wash the bag I just pop them out and wipe them off.

@@dianehanson2678 Easy peasy! Measure the width and length of the bottom of the bag and cut your plastic mat accordingly. For your width you’ll measure 4” - remember, that is the width of the boxed corner. For the length, just measure the inside length of the finished bag. Cut the plastic mat to those measurements, and slip the cut piece of plastic mat into the bag. Push it down until it wedges into place giving your bag a flat surface on the bottom. Note, I like to very slightly round the corners of the plastic mat when cutting it so I don’t end up with sharp edges that could possibly poke through my bag in the future! Enjoy!

I love your energy!!! Let's make a toddler sheet set

This is the easiest and best bag I have ever made. So cool when they are done. I have made 10 so far. I am giving them as gifts. Your directions are very easy to follow too. Thank you so much.

Cool video!! I would sew a square and an X where the webbing attaches to the bag to ensure they'll never break away from the bag. Optional but considering it's canvas and webbing then may as well

I notice when I have a darker or busy lining, it's much harder to see what's inside. So I would vote for the light color inside, the busy stuff outside. It wouldn't' show the dirt as much. Maybe keeping it cheap, you could use denim outside and lighter cotton inside. And may I suggest, if the hubs goes shopping you gotta step back from the florals lol! I find your lining method great!, easiest I have seen! Thank you!

Hahaha thank you so much for the tips! Yes, I've been trying to offer a little less floral on his grocery bags! Poor guy is such a good sport. Denim would be SUCH a fun bag. I have to try that!

Hi, Jess love love this bag so easy to make, was wondering if you’ve ever made bags from jeans, With longing and zipper I have made one, my problem it never comes out right, I love to see you make one. Love your tutorials. Thank you Mary Austin

Can’t wait to make this!! So cute and can give to lots of people. Thank you for the tutorial

This is by far - the easiest, sturdiest and fastest tote pattern ever! Amazing. Thank you!
