Sew Easy Tote Bag from Totally Upright Pattern - Hack the Pattern #sewinghacks #totebag

Sometimes you just need a quick, relaxing sewing project 😊 In this video, I'll show you how to turn the Toteally Upright into a simple everyday tote bag. If you love the shape of the original pattern but don't feel like sewing all the pockets and extra details this time, this hack is the perfect solution. You'll still need the Toteally Upright pattern to make this version, but with just a few changes you can create a much simpler bag that's great for shopping, everyday use, or whenever you're in the mood for an easy sew. The Toteally Upright pattern is currently included in the Bagmaker tier on Patreon and will be available in my Etsy shop starting September 1st, 2026. I'd love for you to stop by and check out my patterns! I specialize in detailed bag-making patterns with plenty of fun features, pockets, and techniques for sewists who enjoy a challenge. Happy sewing! ✨ Etsy: [https://sarahmariam81.etsy.com](https://sarahmariam81.etsy.com) ✨ Patreon: [  / sarahmariam  ](  / sarahmariam  ) ✨ Sewcial Bagmakers Facebook Group: [  / 1141403713586875  ](  / 1141403713586875  )
