This very sturdy bag was the first bag that I made with a bulk lot of upholstery fabric I received a few years ago. It's very strong, with a lovely contrast base that adds even more stability to it.
It can be made with regular fabric just as easily. Simply add your favourite stabiliser. The finished measurements are approx 15" W x 33" H.

@bindilabaraba Год назад
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Perhaps extending the zipper with tabs then sewing the side seams on the tabs (instead of the zipper) would produce a better-looking finished product. Don't mind the extra steps. I will look for your cosmetic bag tutorials. I sure love the tutorials as I sew and sell for dog rescue. Like seeing your pup!

I am loving your vids! I have an idea for a hidden pocket in a tote. Make an inside zip pocket that is set within the lining, Within that pocket, facing the outside of the purse, make a welt pocket with a large 'flange' of material covering it very well, using the same material that was used for the rest of the inside of the zippered pocket. This welted, flanged pocket would be virtually invisible to anyone that might open the zipped pocket. Just a thought. I hope it's not confusing. LOL😂😂💕💞

I just made this bag and had to unpick the lining twice 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was following on with the video and I am a newbie, only had my machine a couple of weeks. I put the video back on so that I didn’t mess it up a 3rd time I thought I’d pay close attention this time! My husband noticed that at 13:37 in the video you say ‘turn the lining inside out’ which is what I did the last 2 times when I was more listening than watching… BUT… your lining is not inside out, it is the right way round, only the outside piece of the bag is actually inside out! That’s how I kept getting it wrong 😑
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs 8 месяцев назад
Oh, I'm so sorry Sherrie. I've just rewatched that part of the video. I must have been distracted by all that thunder clapping about in the background. I was meant to say, "put the lining inside the bag". I'm glad you're husband was there to notice it for you. Once again I do apologise😊
