To start off the tote bag making process, my project liaison was able to find a simple tote bag print for me to practice sewing on. The supplies are pretty simple, requiring large pieces of scrap fabric, thread, pins, rulers, scissors, marking stencils, and, of course, a sewing machine.
Whole practicing over the print I realized that I messed up the stitching of the lining pieces, and was running out of scrap fabric to use. However, I was still able to practice sewing the lining of the straps and turnings on the opening of the tote bag. Hopefully, I can get more practice in the future after I obtain more recyclable fabrics to work with.
