Embrace the imperfection and "dodginess" is what gave me the comfort and tame my anxiety 😄😄😄I made my first ever bag from one of your videos, I was so so so scared lol I bought my machine when I turned 30, only used my machine a year and a half later all because of your video.

@karleenpage5979 2 года назад

Congratulations on your first bag! Here's to many more!

I followed you because you seem like someone I could sew with. Anyone can be boring, but you aren’t.

@robynw6307 2 года назад

When doing the box corners, lay the two seams on top of each other (this makes a point of fabric where the corner is), and stitch across on a diagonal. Then cut the excess off. Saves cutting the squares out, and you can even stop measuring if you are good at eyeballing the distance from the corner. Much faster.

@margaretswann6805 2 года назад

Out of 100s of videos I’ve watched to learn how to sew I enjoyed your video the best. I absolutely love your personality and I wish we lived next to each other. Thank you

@galejohnson8086 2 года назад

Somehow for years we were able to sew most of our clothes on the kitchen table without any fancy gadgets. It all had to fit in the broom closet when put away. It doesn’t make us more virtuous, but makes me question how much I really need when downsizing in my now elder years. Glad to watch your video.

@joycehowardgreen5763 Год назад

This is not a sewing comment,but I have to say I think it’s a good idea for your child to walk some of the way to school,learning her confidence ..x I also love your bags

@ginnylawson8533 9 месяцев назад

Wow! All that running around you had to do and made this super cute video! You are awesome! I just want to make bags for the fun of it. To give as gifts or just to use for myself. Thank you for this sweet video and for sharing about your daily activities. I hope your chicken is feeling better.

@karleenpage5979 2 года назад

"EMBRACE THE WONKYNESS!" saith she, the #1 Wonky Queen of the Universe! Lady Dodgy! The funny part, at least for us assorted Americans, that your UK accent, which we associate for some reason with authority, makes it all seem kinda formal and official! LOL so you've probably done more to encourage those "across the pond" to sew that 10 other podcasters combined. So thank you, Your Royal Dodgyness! Thank you! Love and hugs from Virginia USA to my UK fam! I read a lot of the comments, and not only do we have a HIT, but looks like a lot of new subscribers too! Congrats, my girl, congrats!!!

@jennygill1594 2 года назад

I love making random bags with no patterns love the way you go about doing yours. 💕💕🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

@jillfoster6369 2 года назад

Wow, these dodgy bags are something else……..I love them - so good to show us step by step. They are going to be my next project for sure. I have all the stuff and it is my kind of thinking that they don’t have to be perfect - win, win 🤭. Thanks so much ⭐️

@LittleDropsofWonderful 2 года назад

You are so welcome! They certainly don't need to be perfect, nobody will notice anyway - like when I spend ages worrying about a cast on edge in socks - who's going to even look?! 😁Happy sewing! xx

@tatersprecious5827 2 года назад

This is so much fun to watch. I made bags a decade ago and I recently started again, so this is very good timing. The humor and the reality is just so perfect. I guess in the US we'd say they were wonky bags (dodgy isn't a word here), and I love that all over the world we can have slightly-imperfect-but-perfect-for-me handmade items. (:

@LittleDropsofWonderful 2 года назад

"slightly imperfect but perfect for me" I couldn't put it better myself! Yes! xx

@phylliselias 2 года назад

You are far more inspirational than all the 'perfectionists' who we get on RU-vid. Well done, and carry on enjoying sewing and encouraging the rest of us who are also enthusiastic sewers but never manage to get that 'perfect' finish!

@LittleDropsofWonderful 2 года назад

Thank you so much Phyllis! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I always get so nervous as I’m not a “real” sewer, so thank you 😘

@mariama-sj6io Год назад

It's beautiful, you doing great jobs

@Garoky1 2 года назад

Thanks so much for posting this! I struggle with paralysis of perfection and though I have collected a few items and have a sewing machine, I haven’t made any yet. Really great reminder to “embrace the dodgy-ness”.

@donnadailey5062 Год назад

Dear Heidi, your sharing your "paralysis of perfection" all too well describes so many of us. Your creativity and imagination will trump all else and I can't wait to see pictures of your personal accomplishments. Blessings to you and wishing you days filled with creativity and enjoyment.

@maiden4meldin69 Год назад

I love this video. I giggled all the way through it. its great. And honestly, best part was your self esteem sewing, loved it !!!!

@Kellycreator 5 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed watching this, a familiar British accent. I can assure you that you’re not the only one who sews like this, or lives in a busy house sewing on your kitchen table! 😂 It’s how I learned and copying shapes from my wardrobe. I turn things inside out to draw around them! I’ve only recently invested in a set of patchwork square rulers to help neaten everything up as I’d like to sell some of what I make. I still use my ironing board for cutting everything out, it makes it easier for ironing. Still not got a craft room with neatly organised fabric on shelves. I also recycle as much fabric as I can from old clothes and linens. Your bags all turned out amazing! My favourite is the black and white with yellow zip. I’m inspired to make something similar but add a bright pink lining. 😊

@sueblaser14 2 года назад

Those bags are absolutely adorable!!

@meatdog 2 года назад

I love making bags. It's so much fun to turn scraps into such useful and beautiful bags. Thanks for making this and having such fun with it.

They’re lovely, I’d be delighted with those! X

@EldenwoodCraft 2 года назад

This is brilliant Ali! I’ve said it before and I say it again now, your bags are far from dodgy! Embrace the individuality 😀 You’re very good at saving fabric - I love the big green leaf print particularly.

@LittleDropsofWonderful 2 года назад

Argh thanks so much Emma! You are the queen of bags 👑!!

I am definitely saving this video and your videos for bag making and the box pouch as you make it look easy and I love your instructions. :) I have never sewed anything before. :)

@keerichards7294 2 года назад

Thank you Ali, for showing me how to go about it. You are the only one who gives me the confidence to make a projectbag😊❤️

@bigfamilyaffair Год назад

I absolutely loved watching you select your fabrics and sew your lovely bags as it was very satisfying. I need to do the same but want to sew small boxy bags for my sewing clips for each of my sewing machines. Thank you!

@deborahwoodard2600 Год назад

When I was young I used to sew without patterns. I had a stroke at 29 and lost the ability to sew at all, even with a pattern. I am 51 and just learning again and this was the best video I have watched. You make it look fun and easy, like maybe it can be that way for me again. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

@donnadailey5062 Год назад

Dear Deborah, thank you for sharing about your life. So proud of you for pressing forward and would love to see pictures of your accomplishments. I believe this will be like "riding a bicycle... it all comes back" and you'll surprise yourself with greatness. God is so good to give us all second chances. How thankful I am for your sharing. Blessings to you and wishing you wonderful days filled with miracles.

@lovereigns4017 Год назад

I think top stitching makes the bags look so much better. Thank you!🥰

@Marjan-creative Год назад

On RU-vid this video appeared in my screen, probably because I was looking how to make a little notionpouche (I hope this is the right word) for in my new shoulderbag. I watched your video because you make me smile often when I watch your videos ánd because I saw your old kitchen knowing you are now having a new kitchen 😉. I love the way how you are doing your bags; not too fussy, just enjoy! Those clamps look really handy, I still use pins. Then I saw you kept your clamps in a plastic bag and it made me smile again: so many beautiful bags but not one made to keep your clamps 😂. But hey, this video is one year old, maybe you have moved them to a nicer place by now. Thank you Ali for sharing this video and making me smile! Greeting Marjan 🌷

@newcreations1064 2 года назад

@barbararoyal6139 Год назад

@nancya4179 Год назад

I thought I was the only one who made things with no pattern, not enough time and cutting, pressing and stitching as I go along! I just found your channel today, I will be watching from now on! You are so pleasant to watch, listen to and learn from. Thank you.

@maryellenabrams2075 Год назад

Love this! I’ve been making some dodgy bags for use as gift bags. I always wondered how to make a box bottom and put in a zipper. Next bags I’ll try. Thank you. I also cut on my old ironing board I’ve had forever.

@lauralea86 2 года назад

Ali, I cannot thank you enough for unpretentious bag tutorials. I have made a few using your previous video and now maybe I will give a zipper one a go before the MAL ends. For some reason I had it in my head the MAL ended at the end of May. Now I have another couple of weeks. Yay!

@bettybortell3745 2 года назад

@dailydedication2663 Год назад

Watching you make the bags was so relaxing and encouraging. I recently watched another video by Stephanie Rubletz called “How to Start wardrobe Sewing” and she suggests learning how to sew bags to build skills. That’s how I came to your video. Thanks for sharing your crafting. I especially love your levity and joy while making! Off to check out more of your videos 😉

@colettebouvier9201 2 года назад

This was so much fun to watch and has given me the courage to try my hand at it "Dodginess" is right up my alley (I gave up "perfection" many years ago. LOL! I haven't sewn in a long time but I LOVE project bags and have fat quarters to use up. You seem well organized Allie, so a big Kudos to you. ;-)

@jillbruce3624 2 года назад

@debraitaliano4831 2 года назад

Thank you Allie, loved this so much, it was fun to watch and I’m excited to see up a couple of dodgy bags. I have made some ages ago & I love them, they are lined, not sure if I used interfacing, I really can’t remember how I made them 🤷🏼‍♀️thank you so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻you made it seem very doable

@chrishutson7061 2 года назад

I am like you in that I have to use the dining room table to sew and have to put everything away when I have finished. I have made several bags or various types. Including some for my husband to use in his guitar cases and one in his motorbike top box to keep bits in one place. I hope to get all my sewing bits out in the next week or so. Love the combinations you used. I may try using ribbon to cover the zip ends I have loads of it bought in the first lockdown.
