First Trial in making a Puffy Tote bag

Good morning everyone
I'm so delighted to publish a post here in this beautiful community
I just hope you all had a lovely weekend of course we're already enjoying the new week and what it holds for us
So today, I'd really love to share with you all the steps i used in making this puffy Tote bag for myself

I've always loved tote bag right from when it started entering into use but didn't get one for myself, i hesitated not on till the puffy tote bag came into existence, it was posted by different vendors in different colours and sizes and i wished to get one for myself, All these thoughts came in except the fact that i could make it myself untill last week when i came accross a tutorial showing how this puffy tote bag is done and i took it into my budget immediately.
Few days back i got to the market just so i could get the materials needed and they were:
One yard of Bridal material
One yard of Lining
One yard of cotton filling
Long zipper
Thread etc

And these are the steps i used in making it
I started with cutting out my fabric using 5 by 5 inches measurement to cut out a square shape and since i was making 3 by 3 shades of the bag, i cut out 60 pieces of the 5 by 5 inches fabric

After this , i proceeded to my machine picking two pieces of the cut of fabric to sew tight stitches on 3 edges of the fabric remaining one part so that i can insert my cotton fillings into it , joining two of the fabrics till i completed all the fabric i had cut out
Now, through the remaining space i had kept started filling my fabric with my cotton filling , i filled it to my desired size , not too big and not too small

After filling the cottons, i proceeded to sealing up the fabric and then i started joining them till i got to a total of three rows and three columns for the front,
I joined the back too resulting to same three rows and three columns and for the side i just joined 3 each for each sides making it 3 different piece of three joined together

After joining front, back, sides and the under part i then proceeded to joining them all together to become a full bag. I made sure the neat part became the front and the used my lining to turn it inside. And for the hand i just made a long rope out of the fabric and the inserted my Cotton filler inside it.
I attached my zip and that was all concerning the puffer tote bag
I did some finishing work and then rocked my bag with so many compliments

That's how i was able to achieve my lovely tote bag
Thank you so much 🥰 for sparing your time to go through my post I'm truly grateful
Byee everyone ❤️‍🩹
