Making the Wanderlust Tote with Country Cow Designs - Bag Tutorial Video

In this video I'll take you through making a Wanderlust Tote. Please read the safety information at the bottom before beginning.

The Wanderlust pattern is available to purchase from my website: countrycowdesigns.com/product/wanderlust-tote-p…

The tutorial also includes:
A comparison of the slouchy & fleece versions of the pattern
Explanations of design features of the bag
When to add rivets if you want to use them on your handles
How to make 2-sided straps
Options to sew the lining in

This is a rough and ready bag tutorial without all the trimmings but with all the information you need to make your own Wanderlust tote. You can sew along with me, or just watch for fun! To reduce the size of the video I've cut out and sped up any areas I can, but feel free to skip ahead if you don't want to watch me sew!
