In this step-by-step sewing tutorial, learn how to make a clever foldable fabric bag that is lightweight, compact and easy to carry anywhere. Keep it in your handbag, backpack or car, then unfold it whenever you need some extra space.

I recommend choosing a lightweight, fairly thin, non-stretch fabric: https://go.coutureenfant.fr/Pique-coton • 2 rectangles: 10 cm × 35 cm (3.9" × 13.8") For the bag handles. • 2 rectangles: 5 cm × 15 cm (2" × 5.9") To cover the visible seams at both ends of the bag. • 75 cm (29.5") of zipper I use zipper by the metre, which is usually more economical: https://go.coutureenfant.fr/ZIP • 30 cm (11.8") of 5 mm (0.2") wide flat elastic: https://go.coutureenfant.fr/Ballon-el... 🧵 SEWING MACHINE I made this bag using the Elna eXperience 540S sewing machine.
