    The tutorial provides instructions for making a beginner-friendly bento bag out of fabric using basic sewing techniques.

    You will hem the raw edges of the fabric, then sew all the way around the folded edge to finish it.

    You fold the fabric to form triangles and sew the seams to create the shape of the bag, turning it right side out as you go.

    Then fold it towards the wrong side again, hiding the raw edge, and then press. Do this for all sides. It will look like a
    hemmed dish towel.

    Sew all the way around close to the folded edge. Lay the wrong side of the fabric facing the floor, right side up. Then
    grab the left end of the fabric and bring it about the third way towards the right. Now bring the right side of the
    fabric over to the left.

    Overlap the fabric by folding it from the right to the left. Now you are going to sew these two layers together along
    the seam. Basically, you are putting the middle layer out of the way while you sew the top and the bottom layer.

    If you did it correctly, it should look like this when you turn it right side out. At this point, you can do a decorative
    stitch at the centre as shown.
