Okay, now that we have finished drafting up our patent for tobacco, now we can move on to fabric selection. What I have with me today is three fabrics that I plan on using to make my tool bag. Now whatever fabrics that you the class plan on using, it's wherever it's up to you. I tend to like to use heavier weight fabrics for projects like this, because I like to make it with good quality and that it's going to be everlasting. Not like those lightweight tool bags that you get out at like craft stores or anything like that. So right now I'm going to show you what I'm going to use for the tote bag that I'm going to be making came from my handles.

I have this duck Canvas fabric that I'm going to use that I'm also going to line with interfacing just to make it a little bit thicker. Once folded and sew it together so this is for the handles. For the outside of the bag I have this unmarked denim in its natural state. Nice deep in the gold color. So nice 35 and for the lining and the pockets I'm going to use this chambray type fabric and the weight of it is kind of like a work shirt. So it's gonna be a nice and sturdy bag.

And like I said this is going to be for lining in the pockets. Now depends On what fabrics that you want to use, like I said, you can use non pattern fabrics, you can use pattern fabrics, however you want to do to make your bag look very interesting. And I encourage every one of you to upload your progress on the projects in the class so that we can see how everybody is doing and moving along. So once you make your fabric selections, and bring them home, we can move on to cutting. Okay, so what we have here is the outer shell of the bag. I already pre cut this, so this is not going to be shown.

But the first thing that we're going to talk about actually being cut is the straps. So we're going move on over to that but as I said you can already see already have these pre cut. Now as far as in the pattern drafting, drafting, sorry, I did not mention anything about drafting out the straps. Now I technically don't do that because I think it's sometimes a waste of paper. So it was something as easy as this. You can just go off the top of your head and determine the size of how big you want to strap so the straps that I'm making are going to be 31 and a half inches long.

By three and a half. I'm sorry, four and a half inches wide, and that includes the same allowance. So that's all in this. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna cut the straps out Okay, let's get rid of this pair of fabric. And now we have our two straps. Next is the bag, lining and pockets Now here what I do, because I don't always like to use him lose weight, the whole my patterns down.

Yes, it's kind of funny. These are workout weights, but I use them for my patterns. So this is already folded so basically I am going to cut this out my fabric waste fabric boys. Whatever you need to use to lay the pattern down so that you can cut it off So just be careful, I'm pretty sure that you are all careful cutting your patterns out. Just make sure you don't touch the actual pattern. everybody out there having a good day, hoping that you haven't final marks in this video Now we have a lot of people without to learning and now we're going to play hockey.

So we're going to talk so down the middle so it'll be like two targets on one side and then one will be initially the bigger pockets There you have it So now it's time to get so
