YouTuber Ann Le is known for her awesome DIY videos, and this tutorial is no different. She shows you how to make the bag on your own, step-by-step.

To start, you will need the following supplies:

  • Favorite patterned fabric
  • Fabric glue
  • Zipper

First, take your fabric and measure/cut it to be 15-inches wide and 10-inches tall. It’s recommended you use upholstery fabric as it’s generally thicker and stronger than other fabrics. Don’t you want a sturdy on-the-go bag?

Next, lay out the fabric and place a zipper down the middle.

Once the glue has dried, unzip the zipper. Make sure the material has glued to the zipper backing. It needs to feel secure.
