    Super Easy Square Bottom Bag Tut!

    Scarlet figured this out and we just had to share!

    Think easy gift bags, lunch bags, grocery bags, any bags!
    All with perfect squared off bottoms and 2 seams!

    Take a piece of rectangular fabric. Mine is a random scrap. Size will depend on how tall and wide you want the finished bag + the size of the bottom and sides.

    SBT1
    Press fabric.


    SBT2
    Fold Wrong Sides together and Press


    SBT3
    Fold one side past the fold leaving 1/2 the width you want for the bottom.


    SBT4
    Flip and fold 2nd side back to match the 1st.


    SBT5 & 6
    Sew up the sides.
    ]

    SBT7
    Now you have a little bag.
    Turn it right side out.


    SB8 & 9
    Fiddle with the bottom just a bit and you get ...



    Now hem and add handles/closures of your choice.

    Enjoy.

    Thanks Jenn, looks great! I'm making mine now! I cut out a double width (ok by accident) and am cutting it in half after ironing the fold.

    I took a bag class once and we learned to sew the bottom of the bag that way. It came out looking quite neat, but was easy to do, lol.

    oh that is easy!!

    I'm planning to make ds and dd new library bags for the summer reading program and I like this style better than what I had in mind.

    I'll have to make some extras for their bestest friends too.

    thanks for sharing girls

    Wonderful! Definitely tucking this away for a quick pick-me-up project after the move.
