We interviewed Yui about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
The denim-like nuanced blue color is stylish. Depending on the material to be matched, it can turn the item look elegantly cool or refreshing. Inspired by outdoor activities this time, I came up with a casual style easy-to-make one-handle tote bag.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
It is an unusual design with the exposed shoulder straps on the side. You will find this bag convenient with the right length of the strap and an inner pocket.
KF: What are some tips for making this bag?
Temporary glue is useful for attaching tags and for areas where fabric tends to misalign easily.
KF: How should we incorporate this bag into one’s styling?
The use of the strap that goes all the way to the bottom and the canvas lining make this bag durable, and it can also be used as a tool case. The natural color tone fits perfectly for daily use.
KF: Thank you very much, Yui! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
