Basic Tote Bag Drafting Guide

Описание: Drafting and Constructing a Spacious A4-Sized Basic Tote Bag

Hello! In this video, I’m sharing the full process of drafting a pattern and constructing a "Basic Tote Bag" that perfectly fits A4-sized documents.

Following my previous projects, I’ve designed this tote bag with a focus on practicality and a clean, basic aesthetic. I used 14-count cotton calico (Gwangmok) for the exterior and polyester taffeta for the lining to ensure durability and a professional finish.

📍 Key Highlights of this Tutorial:

Precise drafting steps using an L-square.

Calculating handle and pocket placements for perfect symmetry.

Tips on using fusible silk interfacing as a substitute for non-woven interfacing.

Step-by-step guide from fabric marking to cutting.

⚠️ Important Note:
The patterns shown in this video do not include seam allowances. Please make sure to add a 1 cm seam allowance to all edges when marking your fabric.
