"Hi I'm Terri Turco at Expert Village and today we are going to make a tote bag. Well I'm going to show you how to make a tote bag and you are going to be thanking me for it. Because, you are going to see how easy and simple it is. Now I justed showed a few examples just to get you excited about this little project. This is a tote bag that I'm made. My girlfriend just got married and she was Korean and I thought it would be really a lovely gesture to send her a photo album. I just didn't want to give her a photo album and wrap it up because she is a very special friend. So I thought I can wrap it and put it in this little Asian inspired print tote bag. Not only is it blue but it is also red. So it is reversible and I think it really makes a lovely way to put a gift in and give that to her. It is very reminisce of her and her culture. Now another thing you can do is we are going to be making a vintage inspired tote bag today. As you can see I got this really great fashion fabric that I found in a fabric store. It is really not vintage at all but it certainly looks it. I think you are really going to see how easy this is to put together. It is reversible, it has great handles, it would hold a lot of things and the best part you can make it in less then a hour. So make sure you come back cause I'm going to take you step by step on how to put these pieces together. So you to can have a fashionable tote bag. "

on 1/1/2009 Nice video clip series, but unfortunately there are not displayed in the correct order, but are sorted by title alphabetically, making it frustrating to view as a set. For example this first clip appears as the fourth in the series (in the horizontal frame below the clip on this page and on the portal page http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/3465_sewing-bags.htm . This could be fixed either by:
a) Having Expert City correct the sequences so they are done logically and not alphabetically, or
b) By adding number prefixes to the start of each video clip title in the series, e.g. "01/15 Getting Started on Making a Tote bag". This would move the clips when sorted alphabetically into the correct sequence.
