Illustrated Craft Tutorial - How to Sew a Beach Bag... or Shopping Tote - Part 3 - Sewing the Floor of the Bag

This is the third of four pages that will show you how to make your own bag. Here you will be sewing the bag in a way so that it has a floor. At a later point, you can then reinforce the floor with a chipboard rectangle to help support it even more. More on the next page.

A seam allowance of 7 millimeters is included in the measurements. Sew with a 7 millimeter seam allowance unless otherwise indicated.

	At the bottom of the bag are now two open corner pieces. Pull a corner open so that the seam of the side and the seam of the bottom are facing each other.
	Match these seams exactly together.
	And pin in place.
	Then sew a line across the seam. Zig-zag the edge to reincorce the seam. Repeat on the other bottom corner of the bag.
	Now you can turn your bag to the right side. You can see how a floor has been created on the bottom of the bag.

Craft Project for the Summer - Sew a Fabric Beach Bag or Shopping Tote
You can never have enough bags. And the best is when you have one that no other person has. This particular one is very sturdy and durable and can be used for holiday on the beach or pool or as a shopping tote. The fabric used is from Ikea and is a heavy and strong fabric that can hold a lot of weight. The bag is complete in one afternoon. Using nylon webbing for the handles also saves time in the creation of the bag.
