Dish Mats + Bandanas + Rope = PURSE??  

I’ve been sewing for 50 years and I don’t think I ever have as much fun as you. Keep the great attitude & keep teaching!

I just found your channel and love these tutorials. I always tell people that ask "why not just buy it?" .....because mine is one of a kind and no one else has it.

Pockets! Pockets! Pockets! Please! You're reinvigorating my desire to sew. 👍

Okay, let’s consider it (the walking for) like four wheel drive for the sewing machine! That is awesome and accurate! Love it

I’m 74yo and been sewing since I was 8yo. You are making crafting/sewing sew much fun!! Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻🌹 … and I love your giggle!!! Absolutely adorable bag, BTW 🌹

Hi sweet heart I am 64 years old and I absolutely love your channel and I like the way you show how to do things I love the dollar tree very much God bless you and keep up your great work

You bring a "breath of freshness" to fun sewing!! Love your smile and creative attitude! Fun to watch!

I LOVE the joy you exude during your videos. I am 62 and have sewn minimally most of my life but always by the seat of my pants. Using things that I have or upcycled is my fav. Recently, I decided to learn to sew 'correctly' and have been buying loads of stuff to help me. I am learning that things don't have to be so hard when you have the right tools, like the walking foot, for example. I hope to find my joy in this rather than frustration. Please continue with an occasional upcycle and easy peasy tutorial for those if us trying to do better. God Bless you for being able to accomplish these tasks with four kids and a house and home to take care of.

Yes, I need pockets! When did slide my phone in, one for pens and pencils, one for my cards holder, one for my sunglasses, one for my sanitizer. And stuff like that.

POCKETS?!?! Life is ALWAYS better with POCKETS!!!

I’ve also been sewing for 50 years. You’ve got some really cute first time projects and your encouragement to new sewers is terrific. I love your personality. You make me smile (and I just might make one of you bags). Keep up the great work. 😊

Your videos are fun, you are delightfully happy and you don’t take yourself too seriously and most of all you have tons of fun I really enjoy watching you.

I love it!! You are hysterical to listen to and watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤

34:35 Thank you for sharing your ideas and your great instructions with us. This was my second video and your sweet personality shines through.

Love this bag!! Love your creativity and your teaching style! Can’t wait to see more!

Cute-- the purse and your personality! Thank you!

Love your tutorials!! You can tell you love what you do!!❤ You are a complete pleasure to watch and learn from.😊

I just found you and boy am I happy. I have a large family with many grown grandkids. You have given me so many useful ideas to make for all. Thank you.❤

Really enjoy watching you sew! The dollar tree projects are awesome. Your explanation of the entire project is really helpful! Thank you!!!😊 😊

I am 71 years old and this is one of the best videos I have ever watched and subscribed to. You have a great personality and well suited for instruction. By the way I am so going to make a bunch of these bags for stocking stuffers for Christmas. Thanks for your efforts!

Thank you for your in depth instructions. This beginning sewer appreciates it!

You are so fun to watch and absolutely love your dish drying mats videos like this one! Keep up these videos! Love your attitude and explanation! ❤

Awesome! You're so cute doing the tutorial!!! I really like the materials used! Who knew!!!

You are awesome! I'm enjoying your videos so much. Thank you.

The Bag looks Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻❤️🪡🧵

Very cute! You are a riot! I had sew much fun listening to you! 😂

Thank you for making this so easy to understand. I can do things I never, ever would have thought I could. I love the Dollar Tree projects; I can make beautiful gifts for my friends and family and not have to spend a huge amount of money. You're a dream!!!!

Your energy is so wonderful!!! Thank you for what you do and who you are!!!

I just found you a few days ago. I am so geeked to see what you are going to do next! I like the way you explain the reason why you do some the steps! I love the options you give! Your attitude is great! Your ideas great! You had me at….”let’s see if this will work”! Takes all the pressure off a newbie sewer. Thanks for your videos!

I love the Americana Purse!!! Wow wow wow! Great job!! I’m headed to DT! Thanks Sewing Sister. Love your spirit!❤😊

The other MAJOR point to your fantastic tutorials is after the fact of adding up the $ amount to making these great purses you have the knowledge in your tool chest and grab scrap fabric in the future-(which is what I think your goal is ) and just go crazy !! I like using old clothing I might want go donate or find some great fabric at a yard sale that is already a shirt or dress or sheet etc and repurpose it ❤Your videos are just FANTASTIC 🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️💫✨️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I think you're just awesome that is so creative and don't let other people think that your ideas are stupid because I think they're genius I like it

That bag is gorgeous you really know how to do stuff

Didn't even know DT had fat quarters until I stumbled on your dish mat bag vid. OMG! As if my fat quarter obsession wasn't bad enough I can get them cheaper than Walmart.

Very creative bag with an amazing result. We don't have Dollar Tree over here in Australia, and even the 'cheap' suppplies cost four to five times more than yours. Thank you for sharing your skills and enthusiasm.❤ Sydney 🇦🇺

One time I made a wallet as little pouch for one of my granddaughters. The guinea pig fabric lined up. Head of guinea pig flopped over by the flap onto the body. On both pieces. I laughed and laughed.

Thank you for sharing your projects, it’s helped encourage me to want to sew again!! 😊

I’ve been sewing for 50 years Your tutorials are spot on Keep doing them Love your method of teaching, very ez to follow You have a great vibe girl) Xxx Gail in AZ

I'm so glad I found your channel. I haven't tried any of your patterns yet but I plan on doing so soon. I love your personality and I love your creative and fun ideas. Keep it up!

Brilliant. The scarves outer material turned out so good. Happy dreams 💐

This bag is so adorable and cute. Thank you for walking us through the entire making of this bag. Have a great day.

I’m impressed! Your scarf and mat were same size prior to quilting and it didn’t shift. Awesome.

Love the bag makes me want to run to dollar tree and get stuff very cute thank you for wonderful videos you are so fun to watch God bless ❤you

I love how it turned out 🥰 it doesn't look like dollar tree materials. It is nice and cute 👍 thank you for doing this tutorial 😊 I'm now a fan of yours 😊

You are so sweet and I see you have a good heart. God bless you and your family :)

So much fun. Going to do this with my mom and sister when I visit them.

Love the construction of this bag. It looks very sturdy and the quilting makes it luxirious

I love that bag. Just the right size for me. I agree with others about your laughter- you are a very awesome lady. I now look for you on utube.

Nice idea. A hump jumper would really help with that bulk. I would love to see that made with pockets and a divider inside

This bag is Gorgeous!!!! I brought the bandanas from dollar tree and was pondering over what to do with them❤

You are both fun and hilarious! Your detailed teaching approach is spot on for beginners and a cinch for more “seasoned” sewers/crafters. I agree with other viewers in regard to your personality. You are vivacious and crazy fun 😊♥️ Wish it were a RU-vid law that only kind fun-loving comments were allowed & that negative comments would self-destruct upon pushing the send button. Keep sending us fun useful projects…you’re the best! ❤

Pocket’s please!!! I went to the dollar tree and got the new dish drying mat. They didn’t have “your” fat quarters so I found one honeycomb and dug and dug and FINALLY found another! That’s on my to do list as is this bag!! Wouldn’t this American themed bag look cute with a flag pocket? Or maybe we could sew red white and blue strips together to make a piece big enough for a pocket then it would break up all the res on the inside and still be patriotic!!! I absolutely LOVE everything you do! I can’t wait to make a purse using your video!!! ❤️ thank you for fun, interesting and easy to follow tutorials! ❤️

You are amazing, I love sewing, this bag is fantastic. I have 4 daughters & 6 Granddaughters what fun it's going to be for them. Thank you sooo much for sharing and inspiring to think outside the box🤗 Rosemarie Vigil from Las Vegas NV

Just started following you. I've seen for 50+ years I love how simple your tutorials are. How you go slow and step by step

Pockets, please! Thank you, thank you! I'm 65 and have been sewing since I was 12 but hit a dry spell for the last few years your videos have made me want to sew again! ❤❤❤❤❤

I happened to be watching RU-vid videos last night and BAM……Chelsea came on. I haven’t stopped watching you since Chelsea. You are a breath of fresh air. And, I am watching you from Australia. 🇦🇺 you should come for a holiday. Thank you for your videos. ❤

Thank you for sharing its beautiful Beautiful

Very well done Chelsea fun, fast and done!

You are precious! I love this bag! I haven’t sewn in years but now you’ve inspired me! I enjoy your tutorials!! 🎉❤

I feel like you and the dollar tree dinner human need to collaborate, you’re both amazing! I live in Canada and our Dollar shops don’t sell quite as much, but you are seriously inspirational ❤️❤️

You are so much fun to watch, I Love learning new projects. Your making it so easy and fun.

Absolutely adorable! I actually watched this entire video. I am inspired to start sewing again after watching these. I finally have a room to designate as a craft/guest room so I need to put my butt in gear and grab my helpers to clear, clean, paint etc…..so I can start sewing 🧵

☺ So far, this is my 2nd video of yours and I am absolutely in love with your ADORABLE personality ! ❤ I have been making purses since I was in my 20's but not had ANY TIME to sew in 3.5 years. 😢 Now I may have a chance to put my sewing machine on my desk next month. 🙏🏻 I have not been ANYWHERE except the grocery store in 3.5 years so I am DYING to go to a Dollar tree to get some supplies to make some gifts. Hopefully they have one in Las Vegas, Nevada. 🙏🏻 Sewing has always been my passion.

Girl - you make me sooo happy. Thank you for sharing your sewing fun!!! ❤

You make sewing so easy to follow and so much fun! I'm totally becoming obsessed with your channel and this bag gives me a Vera Bradley vibe and I LOVE Vera Bradley 😂.

I have had so much fun watching your videos and learning new things.please show us how to put pockets on our purses.🌼🐝🌼🐝🌼🐝

I love those Handbags you have made. I'm going to have to make some. Great for gifts. I love what you're doing !!

Great job! Love this project and you’ve inspired me to make one. I went to dollar tree this week already to buy the stuff for the bee bag you made. Thank you. I’m glad to see young women taking up the craft of sewing. My mother taught me to sew and I’ve been sewing for over 40 plus years.

Great bag and great instructions! Thank you.

So cute! I love your channel! You are so sweet and entertaining to watch. Nthank you for all your great ideas!

I have a 5 dollar knit foot, I bought off Amazon. works like magic!! I just love this purse!!!

In July I’ll be 74 I love too sew and your channel 👍🏻👍🏻🪡🧵🤗❤️

I might would try sewing two dish drying mats together to make the bag bigger/deeper, so you can use the whole bandana! I love your tutorials! ❤❤❤

Your videos are delightful and style of sewing refreshing. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your creative talent ❤️😁🌹

Stopped by and enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you for sharing the very fun video. Have a wonderful day!

I love those moments.

I have been sewing for 50+ years and did not know the walking foot had that little hole in the back and what it is for, I never knew, you are such an asset to you tube, especially for beginners, and obviously for us veterans too, great teaching skills.

Great tutorial! Love this idea. I cannot wait to try it. Your laugh is so infectious and fun! Thank you!

LOVE your attitude and your enthusiasm!!! ❤

I am not going to lie lol when I first found your channel I thought oh my she’s too cheery! 😅 Then I thought wait or am I not cheery enough! 😂 I love hearing your laugh and I even hear birds singing in the background! You’re awesome!! I love how you get teary before the big reveals! 💕

I LOVE this! What a great idea. I would have never thought to use a drying mat. I’ve used the placemats before but this is a great idea. Gotta go to Dollar Tree now. Thank you so much. Will be following along to see all your other great ideas. Your teaching style is great, too.

Thank you for everything you do. It continues to motivate me to continue doing more projects. I remember you when I go to the dollar store😊❤
