Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea
I was looking for a tutorial that has the gathered part and this is the best one! Thank you so much! 💕
I have sewn many cloth napkins, but have to say I love your method! So much better than other tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you for this tutorial! My first completed project at home outside of class. My bag is BEAUTIFUL!
@InnerCityVinyl
❤I Love your pattern
Watching in 2024❤
Have you ever done a live to sell your handmade items?
I have loved your work
A great video - thank you! Do you think using front and back pieces of flannel will be enough without having to use an interfacing of sorts? If so, should it be quilted to keep it's shape?
this just came up on my feed... man, do you make this look easy!! I'm definitely going to make a few of these. I'm always looking for a small tote bag to go to/from my car!! and this is just perfect 😍🤩
This is the best tutorial for mitered corners and I have used it for several years! I recently lost track of this video and so watched a number of others. None were as straight forward or easy. Thankfully I found it again! :)
I am with you on this. I crashed and burned with the many other vids I followed but this one really works for me (newbie). I did go with the the 1.5" marked corners instead of the 1" as recommended by @tracystoutbehunin9303 as it made it much easier to finish. Great vid and great recommendations. Now on to the napkin projects that have been piling up. So fun!
Ficou muito linda❤, Infelizmente nao tem a tradução na legenda, Ai me perdi nos detalhes de medidas e a caixinha de leite, Podes detalhar em centímetros? Um abraço
I love the Chicken Pattern Anyway you can add it to the post? I have tried to find the link but to no avail. HELP!!
couldn't find the blog for this project to get cutting directions.
I like him, awesome ideas for holding fabric, door stop, pin cushions. Thank you.
I am not able to find the pattern. Where can we get it.
I love this pattern :) But I was wondering how I can convert this in a 1 shoulder strap bag? Where do add in the strap? Beginner here. Thanks!
This video was great!! Thx sm for the ideas I cant wait to make some of these for friends out of old fabrics!!
Hi, I actually was looking at your baby gown pattern which I am making now. I did have some questions, though. The gowns are really sweet and thank you for them! However, as I watch the instructions online and start to put together the gown, I notice that the seam allowances and widths of the placket and cute collar seem to be wider than I can get by following the measurements for cutting these straight pieces. My placket is a bit narrow and I did cut the collar a little wider, though it could still be wider yet! Also, if you fold over the collar over the seam, you lose some width, too. The photos just look like more fabric and so forth has been allowed. Anyway, I was just wondering. My little gown will turn out sweet and I will probably try another. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Is this pattern still available? The link didn't work on your website. It is so cute!

Hi I'm a little confused because the backing is 15×17, so how is it fitting onto a 16" square?
I’m happy to have come across your video. You mentioned many points that I resonate with. Thank you for your advice, insights and for sharing your candid experiences with us.
this was a good easy way to do this. I’ve been looking at videos like this but they go so fast with matching up various ends and sides and started from the beginning without laying it out first, I wasn’t able to follow along. This explains and shows pretty much what your outcome (should be) before you start sewing. Thank You for it. Can you explain how to add triangle pieces to this square?
do You know what would be great with these videos, if in the beginning or even in the end, you put a chart up with the sizes. It’s very well instructed video, but now we have to go back and look at sizes again.
The good thing is the money they take out is to cover shipping. So you can just print the label
Per favore li volete tradurre in italiano, come facciamo a fare il tutorial grazie
Can you tell me where you got that fabric? Love it and would like to order that exact one.
Hi there, I cannot seem to locate your pattern? could you point me in the right direction please x
From my Mom: I'd really appreciate a PDF with the pattern pieces. I couldn't find the pattern in your site.
Thank you so much for your clear instructions Love the bag, about to make a second one. Teaching my friend in India how to make this.
Very cute!
Is this a monthly subscription and if so, how can I sign up? I like to make quilts, cosmetic bags, table runners, toddler girls dresses and so much more.
Hi how I can get the pattern of the chicken?
So cute birdies❤❤❤I wish I could have a copy of your book! And thanks for the video❤
Enjoyed your tutorial.
Where can I find the pattern?
Great idea! Thanks!
I think your tutorial is wonderful. I’d have done better if I’d put my stabilizer on the outer fabric instead of the lining. lol. Thank you!
I likw your pattern. However, you say you had but the stabilizer for the outside pocket at 6X14 but you actually had cut it at 7X12. My bag is wider and shorter than the one yiou make.
I noticed that too. She said cut 6x14 stabilizer, yet after pocket is made and she places it on top of a 12w x 14L . So the stabilizer is actually 12w x 6L. Otherwise the original 6 x 14 would be too long width wise. My 1st bag came out shorter and wider than shown. So I rewatched video again, and it is supposed to be 12w x 14L, but it's not stated anywhere. That's OK, i can make the bag either size, just need to pay closer attention.
Hello! I absolutely loved this and i am so excited to try it out for a friend but I clicked on the link and nothing shows up except for free quilting stuff. Please help!!
Wheres the hanging loop
I can't seem to find the template. Any suggestions
Hi I went to website and there is no pattern.
