Tote Bag Pattern Help

I'm trying to make Mcalls M6266 one size tote. The pattern layout shows selvedges and the fold. I have a piece that serves as the front and back. It shows me placing it on the fabric twice. Ok, if the fabric isn't folded, that will give me the 2 pieces called for. However, if it is folded, that gives me 4 pieces. But what about pieces like the bottom that only need 1 piece? Or the straps, where I need 2? I'm very confused...

Re: Tote Bag Pattern Help

  • I am guessing without seeing the layout, but you probably need at least two of each piece (4 if it is the same cut for both front and back) because of the lining of the bag.
    Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

  • I went ahead and cut most of it out, piece by piece instead of doing the layout they suggested. The liner is a totally different fabric, so that wasn't it.

     

    Now to figure out what Hair Canvas is...
