I spent some time on Sunday playing around with making a bag I saw on Instagram. Kotobukisewing showed how to make a Mini One Handle Tote in a reel <insert eye roll here. and something about it appealed to me.
I succeeded! I had to plow through all the bits that IG glosses over, but despite those things, the bag came out very well. This is a relatively simple bag, but my experience with bag making helped a lot.
I had to watch the video about 355 times, because I don’t know how to stop and start IG videos. I was able to make this bag and it looks similar to the one shown on the video. I had to translate the metric measurements into Imperial/American inches and I am pleased to say the bag still looks balanced. One thing I learned is that there is a metric ruler printed on my new machine’s sewing table. Super helpful!
Yes, I did look at their shop, but didn’t see a pattern. They have a lot of other cute patterns.
