4/16/23: This is almost like a cargo pocket without all the fuss, which is exactly what I need for a bag I'm about to create. I was so frustrated with all my researching and video watching, and the last thing I didn't want to do was settle on something I didn't feel. Thank you so much, Debbie, for simplifying it for me. This is my way to go!
Fantastic bag, fantastic tutorial & fantastic concepts in sewing working with elastic, zipper, lining, gusseted pockets & handles. You are a genius with a cool, calm demeanor. Thank You Debbie...I'll likely watch this again.
It was wonderful to watch you again making this wonderful bag. I will definitely be making this for my grand daughter who has her first child. This bag could serve many purposes. Love the way you put this together. Thank you! Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸
Hi from Australia Debbie. I watch all your tutorials and they are so easy to follow, your instructions are great. You handled the unwanted comments very well and it's a shame that people think it is ok to do that. 🤗🥰 My mum use to say if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything. Keep smiling you're great.
Perfect timing for a perfect bag. This is exactly the bag I need to make a diaper changing caddy for a friends baby shower. Thank you for your amazing patterns and your tutorials that makes each step clear.
I just love all of your bags that you make. You never go fast you've explained everything very very well and you're very patient. Thank you so much. I really enjoy you.
Absolutely fabulous. If it wasn't for you Debbie, I would never have been able to sew. Now at my great age, there's no stopping me. Thank you sew much x
I love this bag. I’m working on it. For this old lady, it’s taking 3 days, but I’m pretty sure I’ll finish it tomorrow. Debbie, I love your ideas and I can’t imagine how you worked this bag out. I am impressed. I have made a couple of your totes and a few others. Love your work. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. From North Carolina, USA
Thank you so much for sharing your bag tutorials, watching, learning and making them has kept me from going crazy in this COVID pandemic lockdown. Bless you 🙏
I'm making this bag for my knitting (Ive just started after 35 years of NO knitting!)- I find you explained the how to of bags extremely well, so your name came straight into my mind- rather than buying one!..and I can sew it in my favourite fabrics from my stash..thank you so much Debbie..now of to work
I love this bag Debbie. I can keep all my various craft projects in it. Just waiting for new fabric to arrive and need to order more Bosal. Many thanks loving your programmes xxx
Hi I've Just been watching Debbie and saw your comment ,I too am a avid follower of Debbie 😀 might I be so bold as to ask where you get your Bosal from ,I usually get mine from Hobbies craft however their shut in lockdown ,Thank You for your help 😀
I've just finished making this bag. I have never tried anything like this before, but your step by step tutorial made me think I could have a go, very pleased with the results. My next project will be your tote bag with the dividing pocket. Thank you for your clear easy instructions. From New Zealand
I hadn't got my sewing machine out for 30yrs but made your roman blinds which I found easy following your excellent instructions. I look forward to making this bag (or trying to) and your little ironing pad. Well done Debbie you're a star.
I absolutely love this bag! Mine has a purple pansies print with deep purple interior. I don't know what I like most...the variety of pockets or the lining above the print at the top. Thank you, Debbie!
I remember doing the zippered, lined tote bag a while back (my first bag) and it looked great. It's been used daily by my daughter for her crochet gear since then and still looks a million dollars. Thank you for your help, guidance, and inspiration. Demystifying things which, at first glance, look overwhelming. I guess this will be my next bag project!
I've been searching for a tote bag pattern to make for a friend to take on her trips to chemo treatments. This one might just be perfect. So pretty. Btw, I find that flattening out the seams first and pressing them flat will better allow the seam to lie perfectly on the seam's edge. Just a fingernail press works as well when an iron won't fit. I am a beginner bag maker, but I always like to pass along tips to other beginners when I find one that works well for me. Thank you for all your videos and books.
Love makeing your bags. Have made several even diaper bags. keep doing this people love the ones I make and ask where a buy my bags. I tell them Debbie shore she makes it really easy. My granddaughters and great granddaughter r taking up sewing so passing ur ideals on down the line. Nancy Store from Ohio
I love your bag tutorials i have made several of your bags and given them as gifts and for personal use.....this bag will my next project for Christmas gifts this year I hope
Hi Debbie, am new to sewing so am trying to watch every video so can get used to my singer sewing machine, it’s not a computerised machine because am new to sewing. But when I get used to sewing I will probably upgrade my machine in later this year. I really enjoy your tutorials thank you. X
That is so brilliant! Thanks for that, Debbie. That is exactly what I had in mind when I requested a tutorial for a bag organiser the other week. I'll be making these in various sizes and with a few adjustments. Perfect. Stay safe.
Oh my word!!! This Craft Bag/Tote is so very awesome. Thank you so, so much for the tutorial and free measurements!!! I will be making myself a bag today. Yay!!! Have a blessed day!!!
Hello Debbie, Love your channel and also love this bag pattern. So glad you told us how you made your pressing area out of cardboard and foil - and fabric 😉. I think that would make a wonderful video where you show us how "tight" we would need to make the top of it, as well as your method of doing so. BTW, I don't have a FB account. 😻 I've often wanted to make my own pressing mat so I can use only the "cutting" mat side of the store - bought one I have at my sewing area without having to flip it over, back - and - forth, almost every time I ever use it. I do a lot of pressing and cutting when I'm at my machine 😻. . TYSM for sharing this video with us. Take care. 😻👍😍
Yes!!! Ihave enjoyed very much the tutorial. Such a stunning project. Very well explained as always. Thanks Debbie once again, loved everything. Maybe i'll make one later on.
Amazing. Love all the pockets it would really come handy...I hope you make one video wih secret pockets on it.Again I thank you.Your Amazing with great 👍 ideas.. I really appreciate all the videos I had watched.
What a fabulous bag Debbie I purchased similar prints as I love the birds and can't wait to start this project. Thank you for the easy instructions. Kathy Syd Aust
Hi Debbie , so pleased I've found you on You Tube 😀 your so GOOD at what you do , so clear in your tutorials , I've learnt so much . Thank You Debbie 🥰🥰x
I am loving that bag over your left shoulder. The one with blue on top, floral on the bottom with 2 strapes. I need to make a shopping baf like that! We just moved, and Az is beginning to charge for bags to put your purchased goods in. With the amount of shopping I do, I would go broke paying for 1 time use bags.
Thank you for posting all the measurements, it's very helpful. I'm a beginner but I'm feeling ambitious, so I'll give this a try 😀 I need a new work bag.
Finally got everything to fit, and after breaking one needle and bending two others, all denim needles btw, I've finished it and it looks good. I decided to 'stitch in the ditch' round the top to hold the lining in place so used different colour thread top and bottom to make the stitches blend in. It was a lot of hard work so I need a lie down now ;-)
I love this bag! I am definitely going to make it! You always come up with easier ways to make things. I have been watching your vides for a long time, and I have learned so much from you. You are very skilled and very creative!
Brilliant 👏 I love the bird fabric too. I was wondering do you have a video or tutorial on how to make stand mixer covers? I have a Kitchen Aid tilt head and a Kitchen Aid loft and I wanted to make covers for them. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy ❤️
Beautiful! Please make an essential oil roller-ball bottle wallet or pouch. I have to carry 6 bottles with me and they need to sit up straight and not hit together. TY!
Love your videos. Love the bear on the shelf behind you! (I was talking about the big one behind your right shoulder, just noticed the small one on the other side. So cute too!) Video perhaps?? Thank you for making everything seem doable. Great teacher 😁
I love how the things you make can be made by a beginner or an experienced sewer. Tutorials are fab and in depth. I love them. Can I be cheeky and ask where you got your cardigan from. The colour is what I am after. ❤️
Nope! This one has me beaten. Firstly I put the main pockets on the exterior height ways instead of length, didn’t realise that. Then the side pockets, I sewed one length ways and one height, so had to unpick the wrong one. That’s where I am just now, so I’ve decided I’m just going to make a plain lining to the size the bag is now and be done with it. I will try again though! 💪🏻👜
Hi Debbie, I love that fabric. I'm from Harvard , IL. Are your books sold in IL. Thank you for you sewing tips and tricks, and I I enjoy watching you. Have a super great day. 😍
Mam you bag is so beautiful and helpful in organising. I plan to make one, however I am confused about certain instructions. 1) When you attach outer fabric pocket you are attaching this across which side, is it 14" or 12.5"? I think it is 14" but not sure. Request you to instruct us to which size you are attaching across pockets to next time. 2) When you attach the lining fabric side pocket is 6" the tall side and 7" the wide side? 3) When you attach outer side lining pocket to main side panel that means 10" main side body panel minus 2" from bottom = 8" main side body panel left. From this minus 6" of the pocket height, so 2" left from the top of the main side body panel as well? Pls help me with this. Thanking you.
I agree particularity point 1. Look at the cutting mat and the width of the bag, across which the pockets are being sewn, measures 12.5". Lovely bag but instruction very rushed
That's an awesome bag! You did such a good job of teaching and showing how to make it! I love that bird fabric, i'm going to check to see if you left links. I want to try it!
How/where do I find the instructions for cutting all the pieces before I start constructing the bag? You state they are down below, but I must be blind or ignorant as I can't find them listed. FOUND THEM!!! Didn't realize I needed to hit MORE in your opening post. Off to cut fabrics and try my hand at this bag.
Debbie, you are so talented and you make everything look so easy. I’ve been following you for seven years and I love the color fabrics that you use also! I see two dolls in the background that look like homemade. Did you make those? If so would love some instruction videos on those. Also I would pay for a pattern.

Fantastic bag, fantastic tutorial & fantastic concepts in sewing working with elastic, zipper, lining, gusseted pockets & handles. You are a genius with a cool, calm demeanor.
Thank You Debbie...I'll likely watch this again.
Do you know if there is a way to print out the pattern
It was wonderful to watch you again making this wonderful bag. I will definitely be making this for my grand daughter who has her first child. This bag could serve many purposes. Love the way you put this together. Thank you! Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

Thank you. This is lovely. As it's raining I am going to make this after lunch, after I've found some suitable fabric from my stash.
Thank you for the video and pattern. I love sewing along with you. Thank God for pause...

Fusible foam in Materials list is incorrect 3cm should be 35cm I believe. Love watching you sew Debbie.

Hi i am from india and your bag is very nice
This bag is a very useful bag. You can put your car key, usb, mobile phone, and purse in it.

I have watch so many of your videos. I have learned to do zippers! You have had so many different types of sewing machine which one is your favorite?
At the moment it’s my Janome 6600
Lovely!!
The bag is wonderful. By the way, did you have a refurbish/design show a number of years ago. If so, it was fantastic.
