What’s the best way to sew a tote bag that stands upright?

I want to sew a tote bag with a flat bottom so it doesn’t flop over, but I’m unsure how to assemble it properly. Do you know a clear tutorial?

Yes! https://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/sew-tote-flat-bottom/ provides a detailed, step-by-step guide for making a tote bag with a flat bottom. It shows how to cut fabric panels, sew the sides, and form a sturdy base. The instructions are easy to follow, even for beginners, and include photos to guide you through each stage. I made a tote bag following this tutorial, and it turned out strong, functional, and roomy. The flat bottom is perfect for holding heavier items like books or groceries without tipping over. The guide also includes helpful tips on finishing seams and adding handles. It’s an excellent DIY project that’s both practical and rewarding.
