Ok, so, the instructions I'm going to give you tonight are pretty much universal. You can take the same principles that I'm giving you, and apply it to pretty much any bag you want to make, all that really changes are the measurements.

pretty much, especially the 3 year old. The oldest one is really fun and very "kid-like" as long as little sister's not around. Then... she's satan incarnate

YAY! Bag making. I've sewn a few bags over the past couple of years, but I'm not too great at it, so I'm excited!

Here's a list (and picture) of your basic supplies. You'll have to buy some of them, but some you should already have laying around, especially if you already do any kind of sewing.
You'll need:
- A sewing machine (You could hand sew if you really wanted to, but a machine works much better)
- Sewing pins. Safety pins could work as well. Pretty much anything that will hold the fabric together
- A straight edge. The longer the better really, but you can use a simple ruler
- A long screwdriver. Or anything shaped similar to that. It'll be used to turn your straps right side out and add stuffing to them if you want stuffing.
- A pair of good scissors
- Something to mark with that will wash off easily. A good old school pencil is my preference, but you can use anything that washes off easily.
- Batting. Also known as Poly-fil Easiest to find in different blanket sizes: twin, full, etc, since they're normally used to fill homemade quilts

already I am lost. Lol I mean I never knew sewing machines had settings. But on my bucket list (my mental bucket list) I do want to own and learn how to use a sewing machine.

Thanks! I'm not entirely sure, because it's my mom's that she's very generously let me use for a good decade and a half or so. I know that each of the little push buttons you can see towards the side are each different stitches, the little scroll wheel to the left of those controls how 'tight; a stitch is, and I have no idea what the wheel at the top does, lol.
