Well, Susan, now you've gone and done it! You've inspired a return to sewing for me. I'll be looking for more of your videos. Keep 'em comin'. THANKS so much. God bless you.
Yes, I always take my coffee mug with me wherever I go. This would be a very stylish way of carrying it and keeping it clean in the car till I use it. Thanks again for the very cute bag video.
thank You So Much.What a great little Video.Nice and clear easy to understand.and such a great little bad I will make one of these to use up my huge stack of fabric.Ginger Rogers west Australia.
I just don't get how anyone could not like this video....you explain it clearly and the things you are showing are brilliant...I must make some of these as gifts. Your sewing room is great...how on earth do you keep it so tidy....mine just isn't lol. Gillywife of Mark . Norfolk UK
I love the bag to do the tutorial from the beginning- so cute ! I want to do it myself and would be a gift! The fabrics you use was terrific, too! Thank you!
I've just finished making this, and it's absolutely stunning. I took me a lot longer because I made a mistake when doing the "paper bag" effect. I sewed up the corners in the wrong direction. I added beads to the draw string ribbon and it looks adorable. Thank you so much for such clear and precise instructions. It was easy to follow you, once again, thank you so much. Cheers Yasmin
Thank you I really enjoyed watching how you made the pretty little bag. I'm like lowec315 I don't use water in my iron as I have had them spit too! I'm a beginner sewing and have always like the look of quilting and your video has inspired me to give this a try!
I love your videos...Today, I made the bag in video 014, I do not have cord. What type of cord did U use and what size? It looked thin. Your videos are the best well formed and easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to more of your videos. DJ ;o)
Hi, loved this video - the first of yours I have seen! Will definitely try making this bag, it has so many uses. Instructions appear clear and concise - thank you:)
I made the bag and it looks great.. Had a problem finding the correct size cording, I ended up with hildie & Jo from Joanna fabrics. What type of cording did you use on your bag? Thank you for a great video easy to follow. Also, thank you to the person who suggested 3" instead of 6 so the bag closes better.
Another quality lesson! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these tutorials. They are all so very professional and you are a great tutor. Jeannie
I love this little bag and your instructions are clear to me, except for one thing. When I boxed the bottom corners of my bag, was I supposed to catch the loose point in that seam? I mean the point that is on the outside surface of the bottom when it is turned right side out when finished. I couldn't see yours in the video.
Hi SusanClare, would you kindly tell me the size of the 'completed' bag, please? As Christmas is fast approaching, this is a good and easy gift to make. Thank you. I love all your tutorials - they are so clear and easy to understand and make.
I am loving all of your video tutorials, but they all seem to be older ones, do you have any recent ones as well. You are a great teacher and I feel explain how to do these projects very easily .
Origami with fabric! This is ingenious. I must try it. Do you have measurements of the fabric pieces required if you wanted to scale it up to a small handbag size?
Thanks for watching. The iron I am using behaves very well! It is a very basic iron with steam facility and so I will use it while it behaves, when that changes I will probably replace it as I use the steam feature a lot. I don't know how to fix one that isn't behaving well, sorry!
Where can I get the pattern for this tote? Also I prefer to use fabric instead of the Fat Quarters. So how many yards does it take for this bag? Thanks Laura
Brilliant. Thank you for the amazing comprehensive tutorial. I do wonder though if YOU also have a floor full of cottons at the end of a project?? Sarah x
I love your videos!! I am amazed at the beautiful construction of your bags!! How on earth did you come up with the method? It is remarkable!! You make everything look so easy!! Thank you so much! Karen in Kansas
Hi Susan I am quite new to your channel but have watched many of your videos. You are very clear with instructions and keep things very interesting. Thank you for the easy listening content.
Fascinating design! When you hand stitch the last diagonal seams, do you go through both layers? If so, could you free-arm this? I would be interested to know where to embroider the fabric (at the start), so the design is visible from the front of the finished bag; where it would show either on the pocket flaps or on the body of the bag. Thanks.
Thank you so much Susan for teaching the wonderful' pocket bag' I liked it very much,I am going to stitch the same for my mom & daughter.I think it's a wonderful gift.keep posting more of your videos.God bless you.
I absolutely LOVE this little bag! I plan to teach some little girls to sew this summer, and this may be a very good first project for them. They'll learn several beginners' techniques and have a cute little gift for their own personal sewing tools or for a gift to someone special. Thanks for the tutorial.
What an absolutely precious little bag - I love it! Thank you for sharing with such clear instructions. I'll have to give this one a try for sure. Becca
I am so thrilled to have found this tutorial. I have written instructions but they were too confusing, especially regarding the threading of the cord. After watching this however, I am now confident enough to make it. Thank you!!
Had a go at this myself and it came out really well. My only problem was that I managed to pucker the inner fabric when making the boxed corners. This only became clear when you turn the bag inside out. I did it again (twice) to get it nice and even. Many thanks for the tutorial, I will be making some more as gifts.
I am thrilled with the way this bag turned out it's really beautiful. I am going to make some more, it was so easy to follow your instructions. Thank you for sharing.
My second time watching this video. If I want to make a larger bag from this video, would I just increase to whatever size I think I would use or are the amounts of increase done in a specific manner (by one - two, or more at a time to get accurate sides)? Thank you for any help you can provide. Love to watch your videos.
Love this bag! I made your Lotus flower bag for Mother's Day to give as gifts. I love the fabric in this video, is it a Batik fabric? Thank you, Belinda from Chicago, Illinois USA
What a clever project ! My only suggestion/mild criticism is there could be more closeups. I'm thinking this bag would be spectacular in a dressier brocade for evening. I might add a few beads at the points.
I loved watching your tutorial! I enjoy listening to you as you teach. You're pleasant to listen to and you speak clearly! Thanks so much:) From Jan in Maine
I hadn't realized what KIND of pocket bag it was! Ingenious! LOVE it! I bought some bandanas and made a throw pillow cover from them. The next pair I get will be made into THIS! Thanks!
The camera kept me dizzy please keep camera close up at all times to see each step clearly. Couldn't see how you sewed the string ends at the beginning.
