Supplies needed for a camouflage tote bag (Camo tote bag making materials)
For the outer fabric of the camouflage tote bag, prepare two pieces measuring 27cm × 36cm (seam allowance included). Apply fusible interfacing to the back of each piece.
Applying fusible interfacing adds firmness to the fabric, helping the tote bag maintain its shape and preventing it from sagging.

The reinforcement fabric for the bottom of the camouflage tote bag is one piece measuring 16cm × 36cm (seam allowance included).
For the tote bag handles, prepare two pieces of webbing (Cotton webbing, Nylon webbing, Acrylic webbing, etc…), each measuring 2.5cm × 65cm.
Make the outer fabric of the camouflage tote bag (Make the outer bag of the camouflage tote bag)
1. Sew the bottom of the tote bag’s outer fabric with right sides facing each other, then press the seam allowances open.
2. Sew the two tote bag handles onto the outer fabric.
3. The patch fabric attached to the bottom of the tote bag is folded 1cm at the top and bottom edges, then sewn onto the outer fabric.
When folding the fabric before sewing it on, it is good to use an hot hemmer (hot hem ruler) to create the crease. You can fold it precisely according to the measurements, and the finished tote bag will look neat.
4. Fold the outer fabric of the camouflage tote bag in half with the right sides together, then sew the sides. (Leave 4cm from the bottom unsewn, as it will be used later to create the gusset of the tote bag.)

Place the lining pieces together with the right sides facing each other, and sew the sides and bottom. (Do not sew the corners, as they will later be used to make the gussets of the tote bag.)
