Those mats are expensive in Denmark where I’m from. Therefor I went to a thrift store and bought quilted placemats for 20 kr it’s about 2,75$ and made 2 bags😊
I’ve made her bags with placements. Works great!
Good for you!
Great idea. Thanks.
Clever and resourceful!😊
They are pretty cheap on Temu.
If I buy 2 mats and use the full size, I can make myself a lunch bag for work!!! 🎉. I will just have to sew on some straps and voila!
Honestly sometimes I just watch you because I need someone to tell me I’m doing a good job. I’m laughing but also serious, I don’t always interpret it as “your sewing is great good job”, a lot of times I’m like “she means I’m doing ok in life. She’s telling me good job at adulting”. But seriously, you’re a great teacher and I appreciate you and your cheery attitude so much. ❤
I appreciate this so much. And that’s exactly what I’m hoping to get across! I just want to spread a little joy to a weary world. 🥰
@@shesewsseams well again? Thank you so much because it truly is SOOOOO necessary and rare
This turned out great! And was an easy thing to do, I took 3 placemats and made my Mom a walker bag!
Chelsea, you're me fifty years ago (I'm 78). Your channel is the best. So glad I found it. Keep sewing and having a good time doing it. Sewing is still my happy place. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I grew up sewing and had forgot how stress relieving it is - so glad I am back and enjoying these videos so much
This would be super cool for a picnic. You could add all your silverware, napkins, salt, pepper, straws etc
Great idea!!
Oh, yes! Perfect idea! 😍
This is a WONDERFUL tutorial. Every summer I meet up with my high school friends for a girls weekend and I always bring them something that I make. This is what they will be getting for the Summer of 2024 !!!! We meet in Maine so it is called
"The Maine Event !!!"
Greetings from Maine! 😀
I sew GF gifts too. This moved to the top of the list. Love this project!
@@AnnRicci I love this so much!!
The reminders that you’re proud of us is healing my inner child ❤
You have a genuine presence and easy to follow instructions. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much!
I just found her channel, too! Happy and easy to follow, though I am a veteran sewist at 72!❤❤😊 I still love the simple projects for those stolen moments in my day!
Possibly a cute birthday gift for a young girl. And fill with a brush, comb, lip gloss or chap stick, coin purse,cloth handkerchief, possibilities are endless.
That is the first time in a while, I've heard someone mention cloth handkerchief, so glad someone else thinks of those, also if you know the receiptient personally, if they happen to wear glasses, a glasses cleaning cloth would be nice.
I made this for my granddaughter, i used the drying mat that has sea turtles on it!
I thought this was going to be clickbait especially about the zipper. I thought oh sure we can make it under $2 if we have a zipper that we've taken out of some other garment or extra zippers just hanging around but no you actually purchased the Zipper by getting the mesh laundry bags! You are a genius! I live in a coastal area and can easily make the remaining mesh into a shell bag by just simply stitching the top over and threading through a drawstring! What is my drawstring? I have old t-shirts that I cut and make t-shirt yarn out of and I use it from anything from holding the fabric over my kombucha jars to holding up my tomato vines to making a drawstring for a shell bag!
I'm with you - all my "waste" fabric goes into ties for my tomato plants!
Ok, I made the typical rookie mistake …. I pulled off the zipper after the zipper sides are sewn on. Is there an easy way to put it back on . Queen of the ripper:) thanks
Nevermind….God just wanted to see me sweat a little!
That would be a good video idea tho right? @@maryabrams5872
If you purchased 3 of the dish mats, you could make a tote bag. 2 for the body of the bag, square the ends and 1 mat for straps. With the mats vertically, they could be a bag to put library books in or horizontally sewn for more of a beach bag. If you needed a pocket for beach bag, the net laundry bag with zipper could be used. I love your makeup bag idea, just found your site, thanks for sharing your inspiration and imagination. ❤️
Love your idea of using the mesh for inside pockets.
Me too!
This the first video I have seen of yours and I am a fan! I love your patience, calming voice, and your laugh! Thanks for great content 🥰
Thank you so much!
I thought exactly the same.😊
Me too!! My first time. ❤ great idea!!! And I love her cheerfulness.
I was raised by sewers..at some point they were disgusted with me that I couldn't learn to sew in a zipper..I was to get a A+in homeack..in H-school..but here I am . 60yrs old and I'm going to learn to sew that damm zipper..thanks to you..your a very good teacher ...thank you ❤️..here I go
Good luck!!!
@Veetribe. I, too, was raised by sewers! I started at 5-6 on my great grand’s treadle & here I am, still crappy at apparel but (sewing) crafts & making quilts I do a pretty good job! Now go get that machine!
I love this. I am a beginner. You are such a good teacher. Looking forward to more projects
Me too I am 71 and still scared to put in a zipper. Like what could happen? A broken needle....let's try it. I bet you can do it. ✌️🇨🇦 I believe in you😊 cheers
I was scared of sewing zippers as well. A friend walked me through it and I did it!
I find myself smiling the whole time I'm watching your videos!
I'm so glad! 😀
ME TOO!!
Hey Chelsea!
I am so thankful to find you!
My granddaughter and I are sewing together. This project is great for her to learn! So,
Hey we're HERE!❤
Thank you so much!
Never have I ever sewed until TODAY! I made two of these and I am SO PROUD of y wiggly stitched pouches!! Thank you!!! 🎉
👏 proud of you
Great job! That’s amazing!!!!
@@shesewsseams Joanne’s and the Five Quarter Store agree with you 🙄🤣🤣🤣
Keep on sewing.!! Just think, you can start working on your Christmas list!!
@@bettycesky4947 thank you for the encouragement!
I love your personality! So cheerful and happy. How refreshing these days. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
The budget friendly crafty bestie we all need in our life!! Your such a bubbly personality, I Love it! Thank you for an awesome budget friendly sewing tutorial!!
Thank you so much!!
I love that you are proud of me! Thank you ! We need someone to be proud of us.
I love that you harvested the zipper from the mesh laundry bag, that’s so frugal. ❤ Adorable bag !
Thank you! 😊
I love that part too. Frugal is my middle name. LOL
I love your videos. Makes me miss my mom. I’m 70 now. You remind me of my mom 😊
This is PERFECT for wet swimsuits during the summer!! Just throw in your swimsuits and bring them home. Toss them and the bag in the wash! I’m going to make one for each kid of mine. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Great idea!!
I love your voice & laughter. You are a great teacher also! Thank you ❤️🎉
Thanks for watching!
I just finished showing my 8 year old neighbor how to sew 2 gift card holders for his teachers and he was sooo happy! Can’t wait to show him this item, thank you!
You can make big bags, with many pockets, for walkers, and then donate to assist living facilities. The residents would just love these homemade bags and put them to good use on their walkers.
Instead of cutting to box the corners, instead draw a line where you would cut on just 1 side. After sides and bottom are sewed, you then form the corner and sew on the line. Presto, the seam is still finished!
Going to the dollar tree after work today. I’m determined to learn zippers.
Chelsea! I did it! Thanks to you! Took me way longer than 15mins, yet it was my first zipper and I wasnt too intimidated. Thank you
Great job!
Finally someone who can show me how to sew!!!😊
I’m really bad at sewing…
My grandmother bought my sewing machine when i was in 7th grade, best investment ever. So enjoyed making all my clothes. Watching your videos make me want to find that Singer! Am 78 & still crafting, next time i go to Joannes for yarn, my feet will take me to the sewing machines instead! Great teacher!❤
The 1/8” trick is brilliant! Can’t wait to make these for Christmas gifts.
Oh my! I'm adding a wide grograin ribbon handle into the side seam . These are fantastic! Thank you so much!
Somebody used a dollar tree shower curtain liner to line the inside of bags. I thought that was clever 🥰❤️
Thank You for this video! I’m having a tough day today and your sweet fun personality is uplifting and the story of your 3 yr old made me smile. ❤
You’re so welcome. I hope your day gets better from here on out!
Hope your day gets better!!
I look forward to seeing your videos every day, you always put a smile on my face :-) your approach to making sewing financially accessible to everyone is the best, especially at the moment ❤
Oh, and I love this bag!!!
@@PyrateWench84thank you so much!!
My all TIME FAVORITE THING that I LOVE to use is my Baby Lock Sewing Machine. I started sewing over a year ago and I'm having a BALL. MARY H
I appreciate the well finished edges. Many quick to sew projects have unfinished edges. Well made and so useful.
This is a good older kid project! I love your ‘hack’ to cover the raw edge!
Thanks!
Great idea with the zipper! Genius!
You are the absolute BEST!! thanks a gazillion… the world needs more wonderful people like you … 😉
Wow, thank you!
Did you ever teach a sewing class? Your instructions are easy to follow, and I love how you comment on how well everyone is doing making the project. The story about your 3 year old is so cute. I love your giggle, makes me smile. Thanks for the sewing project.
That sounds fun!! Maybe I should!
Check out libraries to find out if the host classes anytime and pay you for doing it
Super cute and easy bag. Thank you, now I know how to box corners. My youngest is now 29 but she would do the same at the playground when she was about 3/4 and say “Hi kids, I’m here!” So stinking cute!
This is my first video! Mahalo for your sunny personality!
If you add straps when you're sewing up the sides, when you turn it with the right sides out you'll have a little carry hand bag type thing for the summer. Using the product that you did makes it unbelievably cheap to make and it works very expensive. Thank you.
What a cute, easy make! You’re a wonderful teacher too.😊
Thank you! 😊
It's nice to see someone who has the same machine as I do.
Great idea. FYI. Hobby lobby has zippers for under 1$ all the time. Jic dollar tree does not have the mesh bags in stock.
I'm watching this May 31, 2024 at 17:30. You are almost at 20K. Yay!! You go girl!
Love all your doing!
Yay! Thank you!
That would make a great sleeve for a tablet depending on size of the device. I might have to give that a try. Straight lines are about the extent of my sewing machine skillset.
Was thinking the same thing, no need to box the corners.
Thank you for these beginner projects. ♥️♥️♥️ your tutorials & personality ❣️
Love love this.. I have sewn since I was 12 and I am 64... I watched the whole video to get all the tips and now I am gonna have to. make some...
You are so much fun. That you for walking us so carefully through all the projects. Please keep the ideas coming.
Thank you! Will do!
You're a breath of fresh air with your positive comments and enthusiasm! I wish you success on your channel
Thank you so much!
I love how you go step by step for the beginner. I wish I found you years ago when I was learning to sew. You just sound so patient and understanding, which is what I could have used.
I did it!!!!! And it came out SUPER CUTE 🥰 ❤❤❤❤
Adorable. I want to do this and add crossbody straps to it so it can be a bag for quick trips to the high street with just a few things in there. Great video. ❤
That’s a great idea.
You are so blessed with knowledge, happiness, joy, & LOVE, keep up the amazing videos ❤❤❤
Luv these kiddos energy! Cute stork snippers. Thanks for cute idea.
Sewing zippers is the next thing on my list to learn to do in my sewing journey. I think I always just have a fear of wasting or missing something up so this project is very affordable and I won’t feel bad if I mess it up the first couple of tries. Thank you.
Don’t feel bad! Messing them up is actually how you get good at them!!!
Soooo cute I would line it with something waterproof to use for a wet swimsuit bag . Thanks for the idea.
You’re welcome 😊
I already have a pouch problem, so knowing this is so easy to make is going to make that collecting problem worse, LOL
I enjoyed watching you make these bags and also listening to you. You obviously enjoy what you do. I used to sew all of the time and truly loved what I was doing, as well. There’s something in the satisfaction of creating something from a couple yards of fabric whether it’s something to wear, something to use, or give away.
I happened upon your video and was curious to know how you were going to make bags. Am I glad I watched! These bags are adorable and so easy to make! I do cross stitch and these would make adorable project bags, even though you can’t see inside of them. They could be used to keep your scissors, needles, measuring tapes, etc. in. As you said, the possibilities are endless. I think I’m going to give one a try. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching you so much. You make me smile and I want to run to Dollar Tree. 😄
😊 thank you
OMG Chelsea thank you for the video. your teaching and instructions are so easy and professional. thank you.
OMG!!!! I just made this bag!!! First time ever sewing a zipper. I couldn’t find the netted bags for the zipper so I grabbed a pink binder pouch with a pink zipper. Looks so cute 😊 I will try to post on IG.
Wonderful!!!
Thank you for showing how up close, and explaining it so well. Very cute, thank you❤
You’re welcome 😊
You are an 😇 of a teacher. Thank you. Hope my dollar store has the material. Zippers are expensive now. Your idea of zippers is great.
I just found your channel and I can’t stop watching. Your projects are so simple for a beginner and less expensive. Thank you for being a great teacher.
You are so welcome!
I love your easy making something for a small amount of money.
This is a great sewing project for my granddaughter who is learning how to sew!!! Thanks!!!
The dish mats available in Poundland are bright yellow. This would be lovely although the laundry bags are only sold singly, but they do have yellow zips! Can't wait for school to be done here then I'll have more sewing time. Thank you for the ideas. 💖
This is the second video of yours that I’ve watched and now saved. Can’t wait till my house hold goods get here (just relocated to the US from Germany) so I can get my machine out and make some of these! Excellent tutorial!
Getting my sewing machine back from being in South Korea was the longest wait of my life 😅 Welcome back and I hope everything arrives safely and quickly!
Thank you! Apparently our hhg has been delayed. 😢 We got notified today that it was out at sea and then recalled etc etc. I am tempted to buy a small brother or singer nothing fancy.
@@AnExpatKnitsoh no! I got an inexpensive Singer from the PX for $99 to use while my machine was getting fixed 🤞🏽 that you can find one.
You would be a wonderful teacher❤ Children would love you. I’ve been sewing/quilting a long time and I’m enjoying your videos. Thank you for helping new sewers.
What an awesome idea! That would make a great IPad carrier as well. You could even put handles on it if you wish!
I have a grandson coming in November. I will be making the tote bag and a few of these to go along with it! There are always so many little things that babies need, this will be great! Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna confess, I'm 64, and opt for no zippers, but you make it look easy.
Chelsea thank you for your very pleasant way of teaching. This will get me back into sewing😊
Your positivity is so great! Totally relatable and encouraging. I’m a fan! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I LOVE your instructions, voice, attitude, and story of your children. Great information which I will definitely share with my friends!!!! I will definitely continue to watch your videos!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this very pretty little zipper bag. I love your happy attitude. You lift me up! Blessings ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
You are a natural teacher. I love the tutorial… I am going to make me some of these. ❤️❤️❤️
Please do!
I just love you! When you chuckle, you're so cute! Sent you $2.00 because you save me $6.00 of "ideas", "patterns" & entertainment too!! Hoping others will do the same, you deserve it my dear! WTG! ❤️
You're the best! Thank you SEW much!! 💕
I so love watching your posts. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
This idea worked great! I used the green sea turtle design, and it turned out super cute!
That's great!
I love your giggle. Makes me smile! Thank you for being you!!
To box the corners i would zew completely around the edges. Stand it up and push then fold the corner...sew it. Then repeat on other side. Then bar tack it in place. Not cutting needed
Hi Chelsea, these will be perfect for me to make for the teachers at church for Christmas. If I start now, I might get them ALL done😁
Made this bag with the same watermelon drying mat! Love it and so easy to do!
Wonderful!
Such a great idea! I've been sewing for years and I've never made a little zipper bag. I can't wait to try this out! Thanks!!!😊
I LOVE this craft idea!! Now I will be on the "hunt" for cute Dry Mats!!
Bought the watermelon mat yesterday, made it today and gave it to my daughter tonight. Great video had fun making it. Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome!!!! Good work!
You are so bubbly. I love it
I love it!! I'm in Canada and luckily we have all these items in my local Dollar Tree.
You could install a small loop to carry it around as a wristlet. Love your videos!
You could also satin stitch the raw edge by the zipper to match the other 3 sides
Can we do this but in regular fabric. I love how you make doing your projects so easy. ❤
Absolutely!
Yes....regular cotton fabric and maybe use fusible fleece to give it some heft too
I am a beginner! I have never sewn a zipper in. For some reason always scared me but I am ready to advance (don’t have much time, getting old😂😂😂).
I just subscribed! I love your tee! ❤️
You are so much fun to watch! Been sewing for 56 years (since taking 7th grade home economics). Sewing is so useful, I wish it was still being taught in schools to both boys and girls.
Hi so happy that I found you , love your down to earth personality. , easy to follow directions and the time you share with others while taking care of your family , thank you , ❤️ stay safe
I’m teaching my 9 year old granddaughter how to sew. She made this bag this morning. Super cute! Thank you for the video. You’re wonderful! For some reason I can’t send a photo 😢
Send it to shesewsseams@gmail.com
Please make a book sleeve with these dryer mats.
I have a tutorial coming for something like this!
