Easy Patchwork Tote Tutorial! It’s SEW spooky!  

So beautifully done! As I was watching your channel, my 13 year old son asked me what I was watching and I showed him… I said, “ look, she’s making a really cute bag from scratch! What a talent to have, right?!” and he actually said, “that’s pretty cool!” 🥰 I told him that I had a friend, who is really gifted at quilting, and creating beautiful pieces, gift me a similar bag from scratch using fabric with music notes, since my profession was in music. That was over 15 years ago, and I still have that bag to this day, and it has held up beautifully. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for sharing your gift! 🥰🥰🥰

I love your enthusiasm so much! There’s a lady on here knocking off your videos with the dish mats, with a level of pep that is over the top and fake sounding. But you are so authentic and it shows. This project is so cute and the use of new products in a recording is brave but appreciated!

You could piece the sides of the liner with the extra/leftover cat fabric. I love how you explain different things you can do. The fact you say do what you want it's your project. No judgment about cats. I'm allergic to cats and dogs. Thank you for making me feel comfortable with doing different projects.

Chelsea - you so scored when you got the cat fabric! It makes you so happy when you discover the perfect project for it. Thanks for the great video.

You are a great teacher with amazing skills, but more than anything you are an inspiration and SO much fun! Thank you for sharing your joy, creative gift, and yourself with us!

I love that bag and your enthusiasm throughout making it and then being done.......oh my goodness!!! I was just as thrilled as you were when you were coming to the finish line. I wish you were my neighbor!!!! God bless you!!!!

Chelsea you are so amazing! Your energy, your creativeness, and your sweet encouragement make all of your tutorials so compelling. I am a huge fan of yours and love how you use the scraps. Scrappy is Happy! You are a bright spot in my day.

Love it, it’s my world and I can do what I want 🤣

Another GREAT video. I love the bag, the fabrics are perfect and I love the size of the bag. The four in boxed corners are perfect for that size bag. The pockets will be very handy, the webbing and cat fabric are perfect! Thank you for sharing your talents, you’re a great teacher!

That is so stinking cute!!! Thank you for sharing with us!

One more thing I would like to say when I see your name that you posted I get really happy. You have a fabulous way about you that draws people to you. So glad I found you. Blessings💗

I’m using this idea to make a diaper bag for my littles!! Love this!! I recently just got back into sewing and I LOVE your videos!!

Love the prints, patches, lining, pockets, straps ...love it all! So cute! ❤❤❤

4” block corner worked perfectly with the blocks!

While I'm not a quilter, one of my best friends is, so I will pass this along to her. She's in her 80s will love it. However, I'm seeing this as such a great universal tote. If you made it with general fabric, not holiday themed, it could serve so many purposes. Imagine one of your kids going on an overnight and just throwing all their stuff in the tote. Or maybe you're going to help out at the school, and you need to bring some sweaters and snacks. I mean, I could just go on and on. I'm 74 & I was a stay at home, mom, so I totally see so many opportunities here. Even for myself and my husband, now when we go places, it seems like we always grab a light jacket, & other things to tote, along with us. Also, you wouldn't have to quilt it necessarily if you're not a quilter. You could just skip to a regular piece of fabric. I'm sure you mentioned that, but I didn't hear it. I also think the magnetic closures are perfect. Anyway, great job as always, I love it. It could be a little above my skill set, but I might be willing to give it a try. Thanks so much. 🧵🪡🏖Kj in Tampa Bay 🤗

I love this bag!!! So cute! Love the fabrics!

Very cute, simple tote bag 🛍️. Thank you for the video 😊

i am always so excited to watch and learn when you post longer tutorials!! ❤

Hi Chelsea, love the bag, Maybe on a future video, you can demonstrate how to sew the magnetic closure. I truly have enjoyed all the videos, you have recently posted.

That is adorable!!!!

What could be fun and useful would be to put pockets on both sides using different colors, perhaps orange on the other side. This would give you more organization and let you know automatically which pocket side things have been assigned to. Phone, glasses, pens, tissue packets, etc. thanks for your video and craftiness. ❤❤❤

Luv, luv the finished bag! Cute 🥰

FABULOUS!!!!! ❤❤❤ Those sew in closures are GREAT. Going to check them out. Thanks for doing a 4 inch cut out, now I only have to do it.

ANOTHER ONE 😂😂😂 Another great bag!! 🍂🍁🎃

Love love love

This is so cute! Definitely made me want to get back to my quilting room. I took a break from quilting to learn amigurumi and I've been crocheting pretty much ever since. But I have probably 30 charm square packs in my stash - I'm sure i could make several of these bags!

I love this bag, I can't stop watching your videos!!!!! Thank you for helping us beginners, for staying so positive, and always reminding us not to put so much pressure on ourselves. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Chelsea, what a great bag! You did it again, awesome video. Thank you so much for all your kind words and inspiration! Hope your daughter has fun trick or treating! 😊

Love this bag! I have a couple Halloween charm packs that would be perfect for this!

Love, love! Please never stop!

Excellent, excellent , excellent. Love this bag. Thank you for the clear & easy to follow instructions. I’ll be using this pattern to make & sell!!!

That bag is so beautiful

❤❤❤❤❤i love it cant wait to start making one. Love the size. Happy i fund your channel.

Cannot wait to try making one. I think because the dish drying mats have been my jam I’ll size this to 16x16.

My mom taught me to take a picture and look at it (bag, quilt etc.) that way. You'd be surprised how much it helps to really see the whole piece! :) I'm always looking for a new tote idea and this is great! Similar to one I did one awhile back using a charm pack - 4 rows of 4 for each panel and then 4 pieces for each strap - leaving you only 2 squares of the charm pack left - super easy and fun way to use a charm pack ;) I love your channel - new subscriber here

Love your curls and the tote of course 😀

Love it that bag is gorgeous!

i’m so glad i found your channel! i’m learning thru youtube & i was able to make my first bag with a dish drying mat thanks to you!! im currently trying to make a tote & following your tutorial 🥰 i hope it comes out fine!

I so love how your bag came out!!! I want to dive in my stash and see what I can come up with. BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!!!

I'm still with you!! I love this one too!!!!

I absolutely love that bag and as a beginner I feel like I could make one. You're an amazing teacher. Thanks so much.

I love it!!! And I must say ,I can totally relate to the excitement you feel when your almost done your creation, I'm a crocheter,(learning to sew now) and the feeling is absolutely amazing. A natural high.

Chelsea!! You out did yourself in this video! I love this bag and it is so adorable! Thank you for showing alternative to closing the top with snaps I love zippers don’t get me wrong, but every bag does not need a zipper! I am hesitant with pockets. You explain how to make the so easy peasy. I have no idea why I was so afraid! I love your sweat down to earth personality and approach to sewing. My next adventure is make PJ bottoms.. 😱 Thank you ❤❤🎃🎃

Love it!

I love it!!!

So cute! I'm going to make some,but put a big zipper to close it. I'll use it as a purse.

Great tutorial, thank you. Your bag is adorable.

new to your talent! Adorable.. thank you for the inspiration

So glad I ran across your channel! I found your tutorial very easy to follow and enjoyable to watch. I am going to have to keep my eyes open for this kind of foam

You are so awesome. I would be done just exactly what you did with the cat material. It's going to be on the inside. Love it love it love it😊😊😊😊

Beautiful, I was looking for some Xmas gift ideas and this is perfect! Thanks for a great down to earth tutorial!😊

I love it! So pretty! 💖

Love your channel and love your informative content… thank you you for sharing you wonderful ideas…

Love!!

I love this bag! Eek, I think I’m going to try it!

Very good tutorial. It was very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

So beautiful, great instructions, love watching your videos ❤

Super tutorial. I’ve made similar bags many years ago and you made it look so easy and fun! I subscribed so I can enjoy more of your videos!

Luv watching you your happiness makes me happy keep sewing

Love this 😊

This is so great, I absolutely love your videos. You’re so much fun to watch. As you were sewing I thought of something, you might think about reminding everyone to double check that they’ve removed all the pins they use. I’ve had to rip seams to remove a pin I left behind. Thanks so much for all your videos, shorts, and tutorials, they’re very inspiring 30:40

Beautiful! Although I didn't use foam, I've made similar for my five grandkids. They each have their 9-patch, trick-or-treat bags. The insides are a neutral, like something with polka-dots. That way they can turn them inside out and use them any day of the year.

Love it❤❤❤

Awesome❤

I just love you so much! Great, super fun video 😊
