Learn how to sew a mini tote bag with a zipper gusset and facing in this full step-by-step tutorial! ✨ This project is perfect if you’re looking for a smaller everyday bag — just the right size for your phone, earbuds, and wallet.
In this video, I’ll show you:
✔️ How to cut and prepare your fabric pieces
✔️ Step-by-step construction of the tote
✔️ How to add a zipper gusset
✔️ How to sew a facing for a clean, professional finish
This mini tote is my go-to lately since I haven’t wanted to carry big bags around — but you can easily resize it to fit your style!
💖 And tomorrow, I’ll be doing a members-only deeper dive inside Sewphie Circle, where we’ll slow down and focus just on the facing and finishing techniques. If you’d like to join us, you’ll get access to exclusive tutorials, patterns, and behind-the-scenes sewing lessons.
💼 If you love making bags and want to turn your passion into a thriving handmade business, check out my Handmade CEO Academy, where I teach you how to sew, sell, and scale your own bag-making journey.
