Just stumbled across your video doing a search for project bag dimensions. Been making them for a while but stopped to listen to your entire video to pick up any helpful tips. I want to say you are a marvelous teacher! Definitely one of the best project bag tutorials on RU-vid!
Thank you for making this video! It’s so easy to follow and you give some really great tips!im looking forward to watching them all. Also love your fabric choices!
You are an exceptional instructor! I can tell that you are a professional educator. I have watched this tutorial several times now in preparation of constructing my own project bags. My own learning style requires much repetition of the exact skill, as well as thorough and repeated explanations of the rationale for using such techniques. Thank you so much for your willingness to share your knowledge of this obvious area of expertise!
This video was amazing! You’re clearly a talented bag-maker and an excellent teacher. This video was well organized, clearly presented and very thorough. Everything a good lesson should be. Thank you and I’m looking forward to making my first bag!
Hi lovely... I'm not going to be afraid of making a vinyl bag anymore!!!!!. I love the way you teach, patient and clear, just the way I need it. Being able to see what you're doing is really important for us guys watching you. Brilliant camera work. Thank you 😊
This is the best video I’ve seen (and believe me I’ve watched plenty). What great detailed information. You are very generous with your knowledge and techniques. I really appreciate it. ☺️
I’ve made quite a lot of project bags as well as having lots of dressmaking and quilting experience but I still learned some useful tips and know I will return to this excellent video again. Your filming and explanations are so clear and precise. Thank you
I was searching for a good bag tutorial to help some of my stitchyfriends to make project bags. I am a seasoned sewer and cross stitcher but your instructions are one of the best that I have found for the way that I like to make bags. Your visuals were easy to see and your explanations spot on. I will be recommending your video to my friends.
Oh wow! You excellent instructions are phenomenal! More importantly than the instructions is the reasoning behind everything. Thank you so very much for this instructional video.
I just love listening to you!! Great, clear instructions!! I’m so glad I found you channel! I laughed out loud at your comment, “I tend to sew fast like I drive!!” 😂😂
Your tutorial is fantastic. I have made a few project bags and your tips and tutorial is fantastic . I will be referring to it often. Thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial😊
You are an excellent teacher. Verbal instructions are very clear and with the demonstrations are extremely effective for auditory and visual learners. I appreciate the warnings for possible safety issues and how you identify and define the different elements so both beginners and more experienced sewists can be successful. For an informal evaluation, my favorite principal would leave us with 2 “glows” and a “grow” (area for some improvement). I can’t imagine that you could have anything to improve! Thanks for helping all of us learn by sharing your skills so effectively! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That was way more than a bag tutorial. It was a proper sewing lesson. I can't believe how much I learned. Thanks again. You the best!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation & tips for getting great mitered corners on a vinyl zip bag! I have made a few, and ALWAYS end up with ridiculous corners no matter how careful I'm being! I LOVE that you showed how to tuck the wobbly excess in to make a tight corner - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Wonderful tutorial! The teacher in you was shining through. You shared many great tips and I’m confident that one of these days I’ll get it right. Made several bags that are useful but not exactly as perfect as I would like them to be. Thank you, I will be returning to this video again, I’m sure.
Excellent video on bag making tips! I have been wanting to make my own bags, I can make them with ease of confidence after watching your videos. You gave an excellent tip on how pin your needles when sewing your pieces, I learned that tip from my Grandmother and it was also taught in my Home Economics class in junior high school. Thank you so much for sharing your tips with us, I have saved your video so I can refer to it in the future. ❤🤟🏾😉
Your attention to detail and wonderful close up camera work made this one of the best educational videos I have ever watched. You are an amazing educator….my style of learning means there is no such thing as too much detail 😊👍. I have “liked” and “subscribed” to see more of your creations!
Your fabric choices are spectacular! I love your use of color and of wise variety of scale, well done! and you have such a lovely voice, so calm and soothing!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I've saved this one in my resource folder, so whenever I have a question from now on I can simply call you to get the answer. I've made project bags, but with your tips it will be easier and more professional at the same time.
That was an amazing tutorial!! :) Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise so clearly with all of us!! I am looking forward to seeing your other videos! Have a wonderful day!! :)
Omg!!!! You are AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️. This is an excellent video! I saved it to my sewing playlist. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've had vinyl to make a bag with for over a year and I was too scared to use it. I am making one TODAY using this tutorial.
This is such an excellent tutorial! I’m feeling a lot more confident and ready to try making these vinyl and fabric bags now! I love the way you have explained everything and your great camera work on this! Thank you!
I'm so happy to have found your channel, Corynne! This video is next-level and I think it will definitely give my bags a professional touch. I could definitely tell that you're a teacher! I subscribed and am now binge watching all of your videos. I just love them!
Hi Cory…..just found you and your tips and advice are invaluable. Re the zipper, I recently used a By Annie zipper for a quilted bag (which I flunked). I sewed too close to the zipper making it inoperable. Obviously, I did not allow for the heavier zipper pull. Thank goodness for the seam ripper! Your additional interfacing makes so much sense…will try your suggestions. PS..I am in the north county STL area..hope to meet you at Colour and Cotton sometime! Will keep in touch. KB
Your video is very specific and helped me so much. I do wonder though, how you put such a long zipper on and did not address how to adjusted it to the bag size. I am new to your channel, so maybe you have a video on zipper sizes. I will look. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
You don't adjust it. When you trim up your bag you just cut off the excess zip being sure not to cut off the zipper pull. I always use a long zip so I have plenty of wiggle room. A too long zip is easier to insert than one that is the perfect size. Hope that helps!. I plan to do a project bag construction video soon so you can see my process from startto finish.
Fantastic video all about project bags. I've made lots of bags but I learned so much from you, especially on needles and using interfacing. Great idea to keep a list with all the project sizes. Thanks for all your tips on personalizing the size of the bag too. ❤ Charlene from Maryland
Wow what a great project bag tutorial! I could tell you were a teacher with how you explained everything in such perfect detail. I’ve made a few bags but I seem to do them in spurts so I’m always feeling like a “ newbie” ! Your explanation on interfacing was amazing ! I never knew there were so many types! I’ve done my bags via Elizabethanncanstitch videos and she has good directions. But yours was super ! Thank you so much I’ll be trying to make a few bags in the near future and will be referencing this tutorial ! Happy sewing !
Hello Cory , I have enjoyed watching your videos and have learned so much from you. Will you be so gracious and share your measurements with me I would greatly appreciate it?😊
I am watching and taking notes. I have sewn a handful of bags with zippers and I hope to use the tips here to continue to improve. I'm not sure if I missed it or not but did you share what sewing machine you have? I have a basic one a friend gave me and I might like to upgrade at sometime
The machine on this video is a Brother project runway edition. I have had it about 10 years or so. I would recommend a Brother or Janome as a good starter machine. I have been working on a Bernina that I bring home for the summer from work.
Cory when you were finger pressing in the final bag part, you said that surface on your ironing board was very helpful. What is that matt type thing you had on there please. Thanks.
