"Hi I'm Terri Turco with Expert Village. We are finishing the tote bag. As you see I have slip stitched that opening at the very bottom and we are completely done doing that. Then of course you know make sure you cut off any extra threads. Then this was meant to be the inside of our bag but it is reversible, it is really really cute. But you just turn inside out and we want to give it a final pressing okay. Just make sure your corners, just make sure your corners come out so great cause we cut out all that extra fabric. We do a quick press on the sides, quick press on the bottom, get any extra fabric or any extra threads just cut those off. Just give a final pressing to the top. Aren't we glad we pressed it so well in the beginning? It really makes a difference and there you have it a reversible vintage inspired tote bag made by you at Expert Village. Isn't that fabulous? Enjoy, you can really use this and it would make a lovely fashion statement. I hope you really had fun making it because I did."

on 6/12/2009 Yeah! Finally, I learned how to make a reversible tote bag. Terri Turco was very effective in her presentations. However, the videos are not in order. It was so confusing at first. Once I figured the order in which to watch the videos, the process became simple.
Thanks,
