Cartoon adaptation of the Robert Munsch children’s story.This was part of a TV series called Bunch of Munsch, produced in the early 90s.
It was recorded around Christmas 1994 from CTV, and captured recently from the VHS tape.I have more episodes of this (based on other Munsch books) and if there is interest I may post them later.

How to Make a Tote Bag

Do you need a tote bag, or know someone who’d love it as a gift? Are you bored with the selections in the stores? Or perhaps just too frugal to pay twenty bucks for something you could make yourself? Find some fabric for sale (or any abandoned fabric in your closet will work, too!) and put that sewing machine to work!

Steps

Cut two rectangles of heavy fabric the size you want your tote bag to be.â¢ 12 x 14 inches for a very small toteâ¢ 14 x 16 inches for a medium toteâ¢ Any larger size you choose (beach totes are often 24 inches by 20 inches)
Fold your rectangles in thirds lengthwise and mark the two creases in the INSIDE or “wrong” side of the material.
legs, you can use the ankle hems for the “top” hem of the tote.]]Unfold and sew the two rectangles together on the two long sides and across one short side (sides and bottom of tote).
Miter the corners to the inside to make them sit flat on a surface. Take care to make your miters even and perpendicular to the side and bottom seams.
- Note: Line up the bottom and side seams at the corner to get a perfect corner for your miter.
Hem the top edge.
Cut two 2 inch wide strips of fabric the length you want your handles to be.
- Sew the long edges of your handle strip together.
- Turn it right side out and press smooth with an iron.
- Top stitch the handles to keep them flat during use. In the example, the raw edges were folded to the middle and zig-zag stitched in place to avoid the hassle of turning and top stitching. Use whichever method you like best.
Fold the ends of your handles under and place the ends of your handles over the 1/3rd marks made in the previous step. Place the ends approximately 1.5 inches below the edge of your bag opening, and pin or baste in place.
Top stitch the handles to the bag along their edges.

Tips

You can make a tote out of any material you like, but heavier materials work best.
Using denim or similar very heavy fabrics will require a larger, thicker needle on your sewing machine. Work slowly, don’t press the pedal all the way down, and be careful.
You can recycle old jeans for use as a tote by first cutting off a the jean legs and opening the “inner” seam so that the denim lies flat along the outer seam. Cut your rectangles and proceed as with any other fabric. See How to Make a Denim Purse.
To line your tote, simply make another rectangle 1/2 inch smaller in both dimensions, sew it as above, and place it inside your tote with seams facing the seams of your tote before you sew the top opening hem. Place your two top hems even with each other and roll them together to cover raw edges before sewing.

Warnings

Needles and scissors are sharp; be careful when handling these things.

Very useful! by N. M. Nascenzi
This product was very useful and let us hang our clothes almost anywhere we were staying.

Useful, well-made, good for folks who travel a lot by K. Franklin
This is a very well-made product. I bought it for a trip to China and used it several times. The braided design makes clothespins unnecessary and the straps attach to any variety of objects in the hotel room or bathroom. My only complaint is that it is quite pricey for a clothesline. That said, if you travel a lot and do essential laundry in your room you’ll probably be very happy with this product.

Travel Clothesline by Engineer Mom
Best clothesline I have used. Sure beat packing safety pins and/or clothespins to attach clothes to line. It was very easy to attach washed clothes, especially socks, underwear, and shirts. The velcro makes it easier to attach to most things available in a hotel room.

Strong clothesline, worth the extra money by Joseph Elwell
Don’t be fooled by cheaper suction cup knockoffs. Suction cup clotheslines won’t hold a wet sock! You have to tie the ends down either way so why not have a strong line that is designed to be tied. The braided feature allows you to do without clothespins because you can pinch your clothing in between the braids… Although I always throw things over the top. This line is worth the extra dough and will help keep your luggage weight down. I suggest buying some Woolite packets as well.

was mine defective? by Carole A. Bartolini
This clothesline was terribly disappointing. No matter how hard we tried we could not stretch it past 3 feet.It was pretty much a waste of time and money. Perhaps mine was defective?
