Make a Boxed Bag From a Placemat! Full Tutorial

Hello Shiny Crafty People and welcome back!
Today I’m making a boxed corner zipper bag made from a simple placemat!
This one isn’t too different than my previous two DOPP kit videos, but uses a slightly different technique.
But I still enjoyed it less than others, so if you want an easier version, check this video:
• EVEN EASIER Dopp Kit T...
I bought these placemats on Amazon. Here’s the link to a similar set: amzn.to/3QRJa6O
Of course, it will work with just about any rectangular placemat.
I hope you enjoy making there and, until next time, stay crafty!!

I really love that you show your mistakes 😊 Then show how to fix them. A lot of tutorials are so perfect that if we do goof up, might not know how to fix it. I am a pretty advanced sewing so I can figure out mistakes, but you are doing a great service for the newer sewers ❤

That came out spectacularly. I found myself shouting "Stop" at the screen when I saw you approaching the zipper when you were sewing the side seam. So glad you caught it yourself!

I agree that it looks good, but oh yeah, it was a struggle! Lol

[@meletiawike3766]

You do amazing work. That bag turned out so beautiful.

Looks good, Tim! I always learn something from your videos. ❤

Good Morning great video I love how you take you time and explain what you are doing Ty

[@timothytotten9409]

Good morning! Thanks for noticing!

Loved the video and the boxed bag. The placemat is so pretty it made the box look so elegant. ❤ thanks for sharing

Essentially you are just using prequilted fabric for the bag. It does not have to be a placemat. I have a King size quilted pillow sham that I will use for this technique. Thanks for the idea.

[@jillpohren4801]

Nice!! What a great use of pre-quilted fabric. One tip re the top stitching - you can simply move the lining out the way and top stitch only the outer fabric - the lining doesn’t have to be top stitched and it saves the stress of trying not to catch too much bulk.

Sorry to miss most of this but I’ll watch the whole video later. I always enjoy your videos and projects!

[@timothytotten9409]

Thanks! No worries about the premiere. It’s just a nice way to connect if we are on at the same time. Have a great weekend!

[@vickiporter2945]

Glad you remembered to bring the zipper inside

[@timothytotten9409]

Right?!? Me too. Lol

[@susieczellar4580]

This was a great tutorial. It's the very way I started a bag and hadn't finished. Now I can finally finish it!.
I really like the bag you have hanging from the shelves in the background. Do you have a tutorial for it?

[@timothytotten9409]

I don’t but everything time it’s in the background people ask me about it. I’ll have to make one!

[@joycespecht3038]

moving my sewing into another room - I just ran across a placemat that I didn't know I had - I just might try this.

[@timothytotten9409]

Awesome!

[@user-to9su7gm7j]

[@timothytotten9409]

Thank you! Cheers!
