Make two of these. I use them for grocery shopping. I can get all my groceries for a week or two in these. One has hot/cold fleese, the other does not. Best shopping bags ever.
That is great to hear! What awesome idea for these bags! Happy that you love them and thanks for your comment! - Abby
If there was a love button, I would click it!! Love this and cant wait to make it! Thank you Shabby Fabrics!!
We're SO glad you love it and that you'll be making one! They're so much fun. We'd love to see yours when you get it done, too. You can send us pictures on Facebook, Instagram, or support@shabbyfabrics.com

I LOVE Jen! She is so sweet and does such a wonderful job with all of her tutorials ❤️. What I really love about her is how genuine she is. I love to watch her excitement each time she turns a bag right side out!!!! She loves what she does and is a great teacher!!
Those are all such nice things to say about her! She really genuinely loves what she does, and that makes it so fun to work with her every day!
You know i can't stand you right now! i love this!!!!! i always wanted to work with a jellyroll! now you going to make me hunt this down and buy it!! lol!! oh what fun things is running through my creative mind right now! love, love, love this!!!!!! keep on creating sweetie! FABULOUS!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
We're so glad these projects inspire you! I think this may be the jelly roll we used: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p67335/ Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
Fabulous! 😊
Fabulous is right! Happy that you love it and thanks for your comment! 😊 - Abby
What an innovative idea for the bag construction. Plus the beautiful fabric. But most, I appreciate the pattern to go with the tutorial. Great job Shabby Fabrics!
So glad you like it Heather! We sure had a great time putting this together! Let us know if you make this bag and how it goes for you! - Morgan
Saw this fabric the other day and couldn’t decide what to make. This is perfect and keeps the integrity of the ombré! Can’t wait to make... one for me and one for my sister! I like the idea of the fusible in the strap.
So glad you like it! We wanted to keep the fabric in tact, too, because it's so beautiful! Let us know how your project goes! - Morgan
That’s so pretty. I’ve never seen a bag made this way before
Thank you! It's a really fun way to do it and works so well! Let us know if you give it a try! - Morgan
So excited. I love your bag tutorials. So pretty. Thank you Shabbyfabrics ❤️
Thank you so much Peggy! So glad you like it and let us know if you make one! We'd love to see it. - Morgan
Great way to make a tote bag! Love the fabric! Thanks!
Thank you! So glad you like it! This collection is gorgeous.
If you cut the quilted fabric in half you could use another sturdy fabric for the lining and make two bags! I really like this design though and will probably make a modified bag with a center zip divider and maybe patch pockets on the lining. Thanks for the inspiration!
You definitely could! Then you'd get 4 bags out of one Jelly Roll!!
Beautiful bag and very sturdy. For those who have a walking foot this would work great in holding all of those layers. It would be great to use a fusible strip inside of those handles as well.
Yes, that's a great tip, Linda! Thanks for sharing that with everyone. - Morgan
Love the fabric!!! I think I need a WHOLE bolt of each fabric!!!
Right?! It is the best fabric collection!! Thanks for watching! - Morgan
LOVE, love, love this tote! Thanks for the tutorial.
You're so welcome!
Jennifer, I just want to thank you. I bought a kit last week - Flannel Easy as 123 (something like that). My Mom fell and is in rehab. It's been a stressful time and having the kit to work on a little each day has helped me so much! Just wanted to let you know how therapeutic it's been for my weary mind :) And I plan to give it to Mom when she comes home!
Hi Sue. We're so sorry that your mom fell, but glad that she is getting better and that she'll have a beautiful flannel quilt to use when she's done. The Gentle Garden Flannel Quilt - Easy as ABC & 123 is such a beautiful one! That was a great choice. Sewing really is a therapeutic exercise, and we're happy it was there for you when you needed it.
Thank you so much for watching and ordering from our store. We appreciate you and wish you and your family all the best!
What a wonderful tutorial! I cant wait to make this bag. I really appreciate your professionalism. You are clear, detailed and no silly or personal comments.
Thank you for watching Ellen! We're so glad you like the tutorial and thank you for your feedback. Let us know how your bag turns out! This is such a fun project! - Morgan
Love it!!!! Watched this during my workout so don't always catch everything and must watch all to the end. I was certain you were making a mistake when sewing it together. Did not realize it was also the lining.
Thank you for watching! - Sophie
I am so inspired by this bag. Fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
Isn't it so much fun?! We love it and hope you give it a try! - Morgan
I just want to THANK YOU for your clear instructions! I have a new machine on lay away and plan on making market/tote bags to sell at a local Farmers Market to help supplement my families income! With needing a flexible income due to my families needs this will be a big boost to my hubbys income I Pray!!!! Thank you and many Blessing to YOU!!!
You're so welcome! :) We're so glad you found the video helpful and hope everything goes well for you! Let us know how your projects go. We'd love to see photos. - Morgan
Can't wait to start this gorgeous bag and after with tutorial it will be so much easier! Thank you Jen and Shabby Fabrics!!

I LOVE this bag!! I make so many totes, and this is amazing!! I will definitely be trying out this pattern. Love the fabrics too. Thanks Jennifer!
Thank you! So glad you like the bag and are going to try it !Let us know how the project goes! We also just got in the NEW line of Ombre Confetti Metallic Fabrics, in case you want to use those!

The fabric is stunning!
Isn't it gorgeous?! We LOVE this collection. - Morgan
I made a jelly roll bag from another youtube-demo and had a single layer of batting in the bag and handles. It was made for a work bag to hold my purse and lunch --it SAGGED by the weight and looked awful! :( So this became my sewing/quilt club-guild bag for show and tell projects. YOUR bag is double layered with batting is extra reinforcement for carrying a purse/lunch bag to the office. I agree with one of the comments below on using pellon for the handles, and this was definitely a unique way of making a bag. I'm going to have to give this one more try with your version and will add a side pocket with my initials embroidered like my other bag. I love the metallic confetti fabric and of course all your tutorials. You always use BEAUTIFUL fabrics and lovely ideas--nothing is ugly!! Thank you!! :) :)
Thank you so much Monica for the kind words and for sharing your experience with us! We really do want to make projects that are high-quality and will last a long time. It's so frustrating to spend so much time to make something only to have it not work as intended. Let us know how your project goes. And let us know of any other videos you'd like to see. - Morgan
I love this fabric and I have a lot of it. Will make this awesome bag, but if Jennifer has the time I would So APPRECIATE her suggestion for a large throw or a quilt top using this gorgeous fabric line!
We hope you enjoy the project, Janet! We've seen a few gorgeous quilts made from this fabric. We made one that looks like this: www.shabbyfabrics.com/ombre-gems-quilt-kit-P67325.aspx
This book would be really helpful for putting together a quilt with this beautiful collection: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Jelly-Roll-Jambalaya-Quilts-Book-P57536.aspx?categoryid=243

Another fantastic tutorial! 👍🏻
Love to see Jennifer, her videos are always great and so easy to follow.
I would definitely try to do this bag!
Many thanks and hugs from France! Merci! 🙏🏻🇫🇷💜
Thank you so much! So glad you like it and let us know how your project goes! - Morgan
Just made this bag and I love love love it!! Can’t wait to give it to my sister for her birthday next week!! Thank you!
So glad you made it and are going to give it as a gift! That's such a lovely gift for your sister, she's lucky to have you!
I have made this bag love it simple to make and the only bag I'm making its that easy
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching. - Yajaira
Beautiful! I made a king size quilt using this fabric and I have leftovers, so a tote bag is in my future!
That is probably a stunning quilt! We'd love to see a picture if you want to share it on Facebook or Instagram! - Morgan
YES,,, another use for JRstrips! LOVE the sturdy structure.. Thank you for this video:)))
You're so welcome! :) We're so glad you like the video! You can never have enough ideas for how to use Jelly Rolls!!!
Such a beautiful bag really enjoyed your tutorials its amazing
Thank you so much, we love to hear it! - Morgan
Very pretty bag. Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹
You're so welcome! :) So glad you like it. Let us know if you make one.
Great project for a serger too.
Yes, it definitely is! Thanks for watching! - Morgan
I would also add some interfacing to those straps, at the very least a few rows of stitching to give them a but more strength. They will be a real mess after using this bag for a while.
Thanks for that feedback, Martha. - Morgan
OMG, that jelly roll rug on the wall is stunning
Thank you so much! We have the kit available in our shop: bit.ly/2xJsRAb
- Morgan
Love this! As soon as I buy the fabric, I will be making one, maybe more! TFS!
So happy to hear you like it! Let us know how your project goes. - Morgan
I absolutely love this. I just discovered your channel and I am getting so inspired! from a beginner!!
Thank you! So glad to hear our channel is inspiring you! Let us know if you have any questions. - Morgan
Thanks for this video. Love these kind of videos.
You're so welcome! We're so glad you like it!! Let us know what other kinds of videos you'd like to see. - Morgan
Used fusible fleece on the handles; it was worth it the handles are much sturdier...
That's a great tip, thanks for sharing that with us! :) - Morgan
I'll never make abag other then this one it saves money and my my so simple to make i love my bag THANK YOU and you give great instruction i love my bag
So glad you like it!! Thank you for sharing! - Morgan
This is so cute!!! Thinking I might try to make a smaller one for a purse. Would love if you have a suggestion on how to add a zipper possible!!!
So glad you like it! I'll let our video team know you'd like to see how to add a zipper to a bag. For now, we have this tutorial that might be helpful: czcams.com/video/sLuaBy9KHdI/video.html

I always love fabrics that have "friends" in similar colors. Love the way you decorate the studio too.
We love the "friends" in similar colors, too! They make for such fun projects. The cordless iron is a great iron! Definitely add that to your wish list!
Oh, I am SO going to make this bag, it's beautiful and a little different in the constructions of most bags. Question - where can I get a Shabby Fabrics shirt? :)
You definitely should make the bag! ;) It's so much fun. We don't have the Shabby Fabrics shirts available for sale at the moment but we may in the future. - Morgan
Beautiful bag! I love the material. When sewing with a twin needle, do you use two spools of thread? I have not ever sewn yet with a twin needle. Thanks for all you do at Shabby fabrics.
Thank you! So glad you like it! Yes, you'll use two spools of thread (which is where the Thread Director 2 comes in so handy). Sewing with a twin needle was new to us, too, but it sure is fun! Let us know if you have any other questions! We're always happy to help. - Morgan
What fabric did you use for the handles? I need to replace the handles on another bag and the fabric that you used looks like it could be exactly what I need. I looked in the notions used but could only find the amount used, not the exact fabric.
We used this pretty gold metallic fabric by Windham Fabrics: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Holiday-Elegance-38934M-1-Gold-Metallic-by-Windham-Fabrics-P73106.aspx?categoryid=254
- Morgan
I love this pattern and bag. Excellent tutorial. Would just like to know what thread you put in the bobbin when using the metallic thread? Thank you.
Thank you! We're so glad you like this project. In the bobbin, we use a white Sulky Bobbin Thread while stitching with the metallic. - Morgan
@@ShabbyFabrics Thank you Morgan. Is the Sulky Bobbin Thread the same as Bottom Line?
I love this! I am curious as to what thread is used in the bobbin with the metallic thread? Thank you SF for another great tutorial. Always very well done and easy to follow!
So glad you like it Lisa, and thanks for watching! For this, we just used regular Sulky Bobbin Thread (you can see that on our site here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Sulky-Bobbin-Thread-White-882-0015-P59917.aspx).
- Morgan
I made this very pretty bag, and the construction is unique.
However,the proportions were no too appealing to mt eye. I turned down about 3” to make a cuff, then sewed the handles on the inset, just below the cuff. My granddaughter loves it.
We LOVE the bag you made! Thank you for sending us that picture on Facebook. Adjusting the bag to fit your granddaughter was a great idea and we're so happy to hear that she loved it. - Morgan
Can you tell me how wide (from side to side) the bag is once completed? Want to make a carry bag for my new scan and cut so will probably need to use full jelly roll.
We sure can! It's about 20" wide and 21" tall (not including the handles). - Morgan
Beautiful bag! What is the finished size of this bag and could it be made slightly larger?
We're glad you enjoy this tutorial! The bag finishes to approximately 20" × 21" without the handles. You could extend the size by adding to the length of the 2.5" strips. 💖 -Michelle
I ordered this kit and tried to make the tote today. The directions are super clear and very easy to follow. I did, however, encounter an issue. The strips bowed out as I sewed them together with the result that I did not end up with a usable piece of fabric from which to make the bag. My seaming was accurate, so I am not sure what caused this issue. I am wondering if I should've sewn the seams in alternating directions. I didn't do this because in the tutorial she seems to suggest lining up all the selvedges with the white edges and I assumed that this meant sewing all the seams from that end.
Hello Karl! Please feel free to do whatever you feel like would be most comfortable to you and what you think would work best. We hope you enjoyed this project. - Yajaira
@@ShabbyFabrics Hi Yajaira, thanks for responding. I used the other half of the design roll to make another bag. I joined the strips together in pairs, sewing in one direction. I then seamed each pair to another pair, sewing from the other end and so on until all the strips were joined. This worked really well in terms of preventing the pieced strips from bowing and distorting. This is a fun and easy project! I bought the Thread Director 2 and it made using the metallic threads a breeze. I lengthened the stitch on the metallic stitching to 3.5 so that it really sparkles and stands out. I just have the handles to add and then I'm done.
Very nice. I think I would've liked a mention of the finished dimensions. I know it would vary according to the fabric line and the boxed corner size, but with this jelly roll and the corner size that you gave the instructions for, the finished tote is.....?
Thank you for watching! Our bag measures approx. 20" wide by 21" tall (not including the handles). Hope that helps!! :) - Morgan
GorGorgeous tote🙏❤️ isn't it available as a kit? Cant seem to find it.
Do you ship to Denmark
Glad you enjoy this project! While we do not have these kits available, you can shop our Jelly Roll selection here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/c87/fabrics/precuts/jelly-rolls 💖 -Michelle
I love this tote . Will be getting the kit . Can't wait. Which metallic fabric did you use for the handles?
It's such a fun project! :) We used Precious Metals 8867M-30 Gold Rush by Benartex Fabrics. - Morgan
@@ShabbyFabrics
thank you
My jelly roll strips look shorter than yours and it only had 20 strips. How long are your strips?
Thanks.
According to the list of required materials on the instructions you'll need (1) Jelly Roll, OR (20) 2 1/2" × WOF strips
(WOF = Width of Fabric) That width of fabric can vary from collection to collection or even the manufacturer. Generally speaking, it is approx. 42"-44". ~Leah
Wow thank you so much, I will make a smaller one for my sheets music, but I need get the métallique thread and support of thread for my janome 9400 first. Does this support fit janome?
You're so welcome! :) Let us know how your project goes. This should fit your Janome. It works on nearly every sewing machine! :) - Morgan
I tried to use pre cut strips and use a quarter inch seam on every one and it was so crooked when I got done. I was so careful to seam them all the way. I am a newbie, what did I do wrong?
Hello! Sewing longer strips together can be difficult! If your seam allowance is straight and exactly 1/4", then the problem is likely an issue with the fabric being distorted when you pressed it. if you send a picture of the bag, we might be able to tell what happened a little bit better. You can email us at support@shabbyfabrics.com for more detailed help. :) - Morgan
Bravo👏👏👏👏as always - you are the best‼️‼️‼️which fusible fleece did you use, so that I can add to my order cart?
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! We use this fusible fleece: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Fusible-Fleece-987F-White-by-Pellon-P70912.aspx
Let me know if you have any other questions. - Morgan
Do you sell the bags you make? I do not have the time to make a bag.
Hello! We don't sell items pre-made, just kits to make them. :) - Morgan
@@ShabbyFabrics I would like to make this bag but not so bulky and thick and wider as for an overnight bag. I'm wanting it so it can be washed in a top loader washing machine. What would you suggest? Thank you for all your help.
Fab tutorial. Can we order this jelly roll still? Today is July 5
You sure can! You can find it here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Ombre-Confetti-Metallic-Jelly-Roll-by-Moda-Fabrics-P67335.aspx?categoryid=87 -Michelle
Might this bag be enlarged to 12x 14?
Hi Nedra - It's possible to expand the size of this tote, but we haven't tried it, so we'd be unable to give you the measurements for it. Let us know how it works out for you! -Michelle
Where do I find this pattern? Is it a download?
Yes, it's a free download, and you can find it here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Free-Downloads-W4C258.aspx
- Morgan
Great tutorial! What kind of metallic thread are you using? I find that they tend to break. I will try using the needle you suggested and that will probably help :-)
She said she used Sulky metallic thread.
We use the Sulky Sliver Metallic Thread. The Thread Director really helps cut down on breakage and sewing slower and reducing tension on your machine.
- Morgan
@@helenkinert2321 Thank you! I missed it :-)
Jennifer = what size needle are you using to go through all the thick layers?
We used a standard 80/12 Topstitch needle for all the sewing before the metallic thread, and then the Schmetz Metallic needles. We didn't have any issues with the bulk, but if you do, using a larger Denim Needle would help. - Morgan
I cannot find the download for this bag

Thanks so much for watching! - Morgan
O.k., so I seem to have issues with her tutorials. I love how she presents things and the ideas are AMAZING. My only complaint, and maybe a suggestion, is that she needs to show the work. i.e., in the beginning when she is talking about putting the strips together, she should show that. She should show how she organized the strips that she did. Now granted, we all pretty much know how to do this, but if someone who was/is new to sewing and saw the bag and wanted to know how to make it, they wouldn't know how. She should have shown how to lay strips out and also should show how to sew them on. Does she sew them on the same direction or did she alternate the sewing so that there wouldn't be a "bow" when all the strips were sewn on? Another thing, when she talks about the metallic thread and the new thread director that she pointed at and talked about, she seemed very pleased about it, but she didn't show how to attach it to the machine, she didn't show how to thread it. Now, that could have been something as a separate tutorial that she could have mentioned. She could have said, there will be a tutorial about the thread director and how to attach it to your machine and use it. She could have made a link to it in the description box. Another, after she closed the long tube and after pulling the tube right side out and sewed the metallic thread on the newly enclosed seam, she didn't show how she finished it. She only showed about 1/3 of the beginning of her sewing and that's it. She should have shown the entire process so that she can explain how to manipulate the fabric so that you can get the beautiful stitches on each side of the seam. I mean, it's a tutorial. Teach us. Show us how to make it. Even though most of us pretty much know how to make these bags, someone new to sewing who is interested in making a (this) bag and doesn't know how may be a bit confused after watching this tutorial.
I love SF's and love Jen. Looking forward to seeing more and exciting tutorials. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for that feedback. We work really hard to produce these free tutorials, write the patterns, come up with the projects, and make them informative and helpful. We recognize people have other things to do so we try to keep our tutorials as short as possible, which is why we decide to skip some things.
We always listen to feedback and work to improve on every video.
Thanks for watching. - Morgan

Thank you for the feedback. You all are AWESOME!!!! :-)
@@tavoboyd2780 We’re so glad you enjoy our tutorials! We really do value feedback very much. I always pass along your recommendations so that we can continually improve the quality of our videos!
And we LOVE to hear about video ideas you have for projects or techniques!
Tavo Boyd My goodness! Are you sure you can't find anything else she did 'wrong' - in your eyes?! I consider myself a beginner and everything was very precise and clear. I was thankful not to have to watch all of the tedious, routine sewing of every seam. After all, we weren't charged for the lesson and even the pattern has a free download. Sorry, I just felt like you went a little too far in your lengthy critic which included almost everything our kind and gracious Jen did... maybe you didn't realize how totally negative and nitpicking it came across.
Kay Butcher . Thanks
Are you tiny or is that a large sewing machine?
It's a little bit of both. Jen is small, and the machine is pretty big! ;) - Morgan
It’s so much easier to box corners by cutting out a square on each corner. It will always be accurate and straight. And on those awkward straps, that machine can sew backwards! So much easier than wrestling it! Nice bag, but technique was not great. Very inexperienced techniques.
Thanks for that feedback, Martha. - Morgan
I don’t think that you Idea of using a square corner is good , this back technically needed the corner she did.
