Tutorial: Coiled rope handle tote bag

Tutorial: Coiled rope handle tote bag

Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shows how you can make this tote bag with a coiled rope top and handles.  The process for making the top is similar to making a coiled rope basket, but without the rope bottom.  Instead, there’s a roomy tote with boxed corners.  The rope top makes a cool color block effect with the fabric bottom.

    You make this sound so easy. I’ve never seen a bag made like this only bowls. Love your sewing site. I’ve been following you for a while now in the shadows. And really enjoy it. Sending a big thank you from Idaho
