Thank you for a great, quick and easy (to understand) tutorial! I appreciate simple camera angles and clear instructions 🤗. Can't wait to sit at my machine and be a busy bee!
I made custom dimensions and decided to add interfacing to the outside layer, but otherwise used your instructions for my tote bag and I’m so happy with the results. Thank you for this tutorial!
@@jailynallen9891 you just cut it to the same size as your outside layer and iron it onto the wrong side of the fabric. It's not neccesary, but just a personal preference to help give the bag a little stiffness and body.
TYSM for sharing this in - depth tutorial on sewing a tote bag. Am a new subscriber, so, I haven't seen all your videos yet. Sooo, do you have a video which shows how to make a bag with a "stay - put" lining in it ? I appreciate your help, either way. Love your channel. 👍😻😍
The secion on the straps is very confusing. I have never seen anyone sew it diagonally. Also, why would you have extra fabric left. I've only made one bag but ...
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I appreciate your simple directions and visibility of the details. I wound up adding a pocket and it turned out perfectly!! I am quite the beginner and have gotten a great boost of confidence to do more projects! I will definitely subscribe to your site!
cool bag,i was wondering what kind of fabric are you using to line this tote bag with?please let me know because i want to make a tote bag my daughter?
Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to make this tote bag as my give away for my 70th birthday. Simple and easy to follow.😍😍, have subscribed and liked
Could you do this without putting two layers one inside the other couldn't you just put two layers of material and sew them and cut them all together and then turn the whole thing right side out
Very helpful tutorial. Can I please know the name of the board with inch squares, which you placed the material and machine on. Can I also know where I can order it. Thank you
It's a self-healing quilting mat. I have some by Olfa, Fiskars, and U.S. Art Supply. You should be able to order them online on Amazon or other sites :).
I needed a quick "gift wrap" and had some fabric that was perfect for the giftee. Thank you for a quick and easy lesson in my first bag. The seams are's pretty, but I think it'll do! Happy Holidays to you!
Why wouldn’t you just cut 2 x 24 inches pieces for the handles instead of mucking around with all that extra fabric and having an unnecessary join. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Hi Liz, I REALLY enjoy your videos! I have learned/re-learned how to create totes , etc. I am new to crafting, and like the way you share the who, what when and the why's. Please don't stop!!
Hello, I am new to this channel. I found this very easy to understand and very nice to follow. Absolutely love your kind sweet voice. Reminds me of my mother in law and she is one of my favorite people lol
I’m helping a 9 year old neighbor her first ever sewing project. She did a scrappy patchwork for the outer layer. Out of all the available tutorials this was best. Halfway through she decided to enter it in the Colorado State Fair. So we’ll see! 🤞🏼
Thank you so much for this tutorial well God bless you i love bags cant have enough,but the simpel way of explaining first thing for june 26 thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Liz! I successfully followed this tutorial (as well as your how to put a zip in lining) to make a beautiful bag I am proud of. It’s a present for my sister and I think she’ll love it. Xxx
Never a dumb question! Yes it does but when you sew the corners again you will sew over those original seams so that they are locked in place again. Hope that helps!
Thank you sooooooo much wish I could attach my bag this is verry beginner friendly and I will be coming back when I make my other totes ! Your straps were a bit hard for me but I love everything else my bag is awesome thank you
The first one I made came out great. Then I made one with pockets. I kept the right sides together….the pockets, but then they ended up being on the wrong side of the lining 😖. Time for the seam ripper…
Quick question if you do not have a iron what else can someone use to iron? We just moved into our house not to long ago and do not have a iron yet lol
Wonderful tutorial, thank you. This is the first actual thing I have ever made on the sewing machine I have had for 20 years and I am so pleased with it! It looks great and you can't even tell that I can not sew a straight line to save my life LOL!
Me too this was my first ever sewing project. One thing I did to help get straight lines was actually to use chalk or pencil and use a ruler to draw a straight line, so when you are sewing you know your Stiches aren’t wonky.
Helloooooo I’m new to your channel and I just joined and I hear the music while you are talking 😢 to which I going to ask nicely unless someone has already asked to STOP the annoying music 😊 thank you very very much
