Fell in 😍 with this adorable bag after watching your tutorial. Purchased the pattern and went step by step with your tutorial. I struggled as a beginner, but after two days I was thrilled with my completed bag. Many thanks as I would have never attempted this one without a tutorial.
Ohhh, thank you!!! I've been staring at this pattern for nearly 2 years, unable to comprehend the pattern. Thank you for going slowly and step-by-step, and for including your suggested tips. I made my bag in one day (it was 12 hours long, but it's done)! Whoever was working the camera did a fantastic job too. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh my goodness! This is such a cute bag! Thank you Erica for sharing this pattern and for such a wonderful tutorial. You are such a terrific teacher. 😃
Thank you Erica. I have had this pattern for awhile but was glad to have a video tutorial. I did use a zipper by the yard for my top zipper. Discovered I needed wider binding and wider zipper tabs. If I had been smart I would not have had to rip out my stitches.
Erica, you are such a wonderful teacher. I love how organized you are. I am inspired to make my own Sew Together bag, with the pattern I bought a long time ago. ❤
I have just started sewing and am easily confused when it comes to instruction. Your explaination is very very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for making this video ❤
This is one of my favorite videos ever! I’ve had this pattern for a couple of years, but was too intimidated to try it. You are such a good teacher, and I’m ready to go pick out my fabrics!! Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. I kept my iPad beside my sewing machine through the entire process. I also chose to use foam on the exterior too, thought it might make it more difficult to manage but it didn’t. The only other task I found helpful was to baste the zipper in place before adding the binding. I’ve had the pattern and fabric for 8-9 months, glad to find your tutorial, it was a tremendous help. Thank you!
I have had this pattern for years and never made it. I’ve watched a few different tutorials, and this is the first time I understood. You made this look so easy! Thanks, Erica!
I liked your video as it gave me the step-by-step directions. I watched this prior to working with friends on making this. I wasn't able to finish my bag with my friends, so watching the last few steps several times helped me in completing my bag. I look forward to watching your other videos!
I made this Sew Together bag a few years ago for my mom and she LOVES it. I used a good RU-vid tutorial back then but now I feel inspired to make it again using your tutorial, I bet it’s even better. You are so good at explaining things clearly and thoroughly. Thank you!! 🎉
I agree with so many before me. I've had this pattern in my stash for years. I've watched other tutorials, and they made it much more complicated. Your tutorial is easy to follow and has inspired me to pull that pattern out again and give it a try. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much Erica for such a detailed tutorial. You are wonderful in sharing all the added tips to be successful. Love this bag. I added it to my to do list for next month. Thanks again! Love your channel.
I made several of these 10 years ago…one for me to use for my hand sewing items and one for my granddaughter who had just started school and used hers to keep her pencils and other school supplies! They are easy to make. Seeing this tutorial makes me want to make another one…hope I can find my pattern…😄
I bought this pattern a couple years ago and never had a chance to make it. I finally got the chance and made it a week ago! I love this little bag! Its my EPP to-go bag. ❤
Im going to get this pattern. I definitely would NOT be able to make this without a video. Im a visual learner. And your choices of fabric is so amazing. Thank you again for an awesome tutorial. ❤❤❤
Erica, Thank you for this great tutorial,I felt intimidated by this bag but bought the pattern anyway. I am so happy to have found you. I enjoyed your very informative directions. Again Thank you.
OMG!!! You were right I would have never attempted this without a video 🤯 I did purchase the pattern and with you amazing help it went together better then expected! I just love it and plan to do several more as gifts! A great way to use up scraps and those sweet little mini charms! And who doesn’t need a seasonal cosmetic bag! 😂😂😂 My 13 year old granddaughter is receiving this instead of a basket for Easter with some sweet treats tucked inside! Thank you so much for explaining and detail of this video!
Love this bag and your choice of fabric! Very cute!❤ Your tutorial with extra tips is excellent! I just purchased the pattern and can’t wait to make it. Thank you!😊
Erica thank you so much. I have started making this bag while watching your video. I feel so clever. So far so good. It’s all coming together beautifully. 🎉❤ Sending good health and happiness from the U.K. Update: I have now made two of these bags. They look so good. It’s my favourite pattern. Thanks again Erica❤ If you want to make this bag please please follow this video you will not be disappointed.
Great tutorial!! I’m going to give this one a try as soon as I finish my By Annie backpack I’m working on. I have a cruise coming up next month and this would be great for toiletries and makeup! Maybe I’ll use the iron on vinyl so it’s wipeable. So many possibilities!
What a great tutorial! Like others, I am 💯 a visual learner. I can’t imagine how many patterns I would buy if the pattern makers included a detailed video tutorial with purchase! I just tackled a detailed zip pouch after finding someone who made a very good video “how too”. I was too confused by the written instructions as a beginner to start before I found it! I thank you guys for keeping me going on this new hobby!
These bags are just so cute! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do them. Although fiddly at times, construction is way easier than what it looks to begin with 😊😊
I did it! Must have watched your video thirty times but I finished it. Should have listened and switched to the denim needle. Broke mine sewing the tabs down at the very last step. I love it. Your tutorial was perfection!
Erica, thank you for your work on this You Tube. I bought the pattern and made one by following a different tutorial. Your demonstration and explanations are excellent. I'll follow yours next time. Thanks again!
Thank you sew much! I've had this pattern for probably 4 years but the directions aren't as clear as I would like. This made it so achievable. I'm going to make 4!!
I’ve made two of these bags I decided to make another one . I used another tutorial for the first two maybe it was first tries but Erica you made it so much Moore clear and concise. Thanks again you’re a great teacher.
I would love to know more about your iron. I don’t think I saw it in your products list. This is a favorite bag to make. I’ve made several and I still watched your entire tutorial because you always have some excellent tips!

Thank you Erica for giving us a tutorial on this great bag. For years I have admired this bag, seen tutorials on it and thought, no, that's too fiddly for me but somehow your tutorial took away any thoughts that I can't do it and as a result I am going to buy the pattern. There must be some patchwork shop here in Australia that has it. I'm getting excited. Love your videos.
I just watched a couple other tutorials (before yours) and thought... "no way". This was definitely an "I can do this!" tutorial. Thanks for making this look easier than it is! Will give my new Juki 2010 a spin in the bag lane!
Excellent instruction. I'm an experienced garment sewist. Have this pattern but was a bit daunted by all the parts (not being a quilter). You demystify the assembly. Thank you!
This video is so helpful! I'm actually taking a class to make this bag tomorrow so the video was timed perfectly. I feel like now I'll have a better understanding of the pattern and instructions in class. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this video, I followed along and I'm so happy with my bag! I just discovered your channel and I've been binge watching all of your videos, I especially love your bags! Thank you again!
Thank you so much Erica, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and awesome bag. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤ lovely project.
I’m so happy to see this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it share it. I just bought this pattern last month and I’ve heard it’s a bit intimidating. You’ve made it seem doable so when I start my project I’ll have your video on to walk me through it. I love your fabric choices also.
I bought the sew together bag pattern a number of years ago, but was intimidated by the directions, it got put away somewhere. I’m going to find it and give it a try because you made it seem so doable. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m so glad it came up on my feed. I am also now subscribed. Appreciated your tutorial on project bags as well.
Thank you so much for this tutorial Erica. I bought this pattern a couple of months ago but didn’t feel confident enough to attempt to make this bag. You are a great teacher. I’m glad you shared the three bags you made, they gave me inspiration and I can’t wait to begin making one for myself.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have had this pattern for a bit now but it looked a little daunting. You have really made this look very doable. Thank you!
it's my first time here love the tutorial, it's an amazing bag.purse what ever way you use the bag.it's a versatile bag, love how you made it look so easy to follow you step by step you were great! I fell in love with this bag and need it for my birthday next month. girlfriend yes I plan to get this pattern. Happy crafting to you.I'm a late crafter .
Love this bag! You are a great teacher Erica you made this look very easy to make. I have to carry small bags anymore and I would love to make this without the top zipper attached to the outside with a cross body strap. I really like the fabrics that you chose to use. Very pretty!
I love the tips you give. I’ve made this many times and always struggle with all seam and sometimes miss them and then have to hand sew so going to try your tips..😁
Really enjoyed your video !!!! Looks like tons of work !! Really need to have your thinking cap on , while making it !!!! Always love your videos !! Thank you for sharing and caring 👏🏿👍🏿🙌🏼👊⭕️❌😎😉😍❤️🤎💝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Viewing this tutorial for the third time. Perhas it was mentioned, but do you have a tutorial/video on how to make the 1 1/2" squares cover used in this bag? I'm such a visual learner and would so appreciate seeing how you pulled together the exterior of this bag. It'll make such cute valentine gifts for my girls. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. I love your tutorials and how you get straight to the point without music background and alot of "hand jive." Lol
I’m wanting to know the same thing but seeing your comment was 7 months ago I’m not to confident I’ll get a response from my same question before I make this. 😢
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I bought the pattern and I was a little intimidated by the instructions. Your video was so helpful. I don’t think I could’ve made this bag without you tutorial
Thank you! I have had this pattern for several years but had been daunted by both the zippers and a failed attempt at a simple ByAnnie’s case. Using your video I finally made the bag and it came out beautifully! I’m now going to have to make another because I was so sure I would screw it up I used fabric I don’t like so much.
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. I have watched several and the way you put the sides together was brilliant. After watching the other tutorials that is what was keeping me from making the bag.
You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing. I just got the pattern and hope to make this bag soon. I do need some of the snow to melt here so I can go to my local fabric store.
