I find using a coordinating fabric that is different from the lining is best for interior pockets. That way the pocket is easily found when you open the bag.
Me too!
I usually use a piece of the outside fabric for an inside pocket & lining fabric for an outside pocket for some of the bags I’ve made.
I use a piece from the outside fabric for mine usually. If I don't have enough I will use a solid that coordinates
@@susandooley9630 thats what I do😊
I use the main fabric for my pocket also
I love that MSQC and Misty are adding some small projects to do. I love the quilts, but sometimes it’s nice to have a small, quick project to finish. ☺️
Remember to finish the lining
@@cynthiaputnam5538 lol! I thought the same thing!
agreed
Yep, sometimes I just need some instant gratification! 😄 Quick projects are nice.
I love using ghe Bosal in my bags but I also put Bosal between my pocket fabric pieces. It gives my pockets support and it works really well.
That is a great idea!
Where can you get the Bosal?
@@vickietapavica7771 MSQC sells it, Joann’s sells it. I think you can get it on line other places but these two are my go to places.
I always use Pellon interfacing in my pocket, lining, and outer fabrics for extra support in my handmade handbags. I haven't tried bosal.
What a beautiful bag! I love the new longer pretty zips also, THANK YOU MISTY. This was a longer than usual tutorial, but there are a lot of steps and I appreciated that you showed us all of them. You are a patient teacher, thanks again.
Nice job, Misty!
I love the tutorial; however, the measurements for the straps for the stabilizer for me was too wide at 3.25 width. Not sure what I did wrong
I used this video while sewing my new bag! It was sooooo fun!! I love MSQC and my new bag! Thank You!
Thank you, thank you! I was sitting here trying to think of a personal type Christmas gift for my son's girlfriend. I gave her a quilt last year and now know how much she appreciates handmade gifts. I ordered the supplies for her bag today. ❤
Misty, I've watched this twice and. cannot wait to make my own large zipper tote. I have made several quilted totes but did not know how to put a zipper in it. It has such a professional look and looks much more difficult then you MAKE IT L;OOK. LOL. I have spent the last 3 months overcoming a month long stay in the hospital with Covid. During those long, nights in ICU isolation, , especially when I was not certain I could survive without the machines helping me breathe, I spent a lot of time doing online Bible studies and watching MSQC tutorials and making "plans" for projects WHEN I WENT HOME. I even ordered fabric in anticipation of a positive outcome. I decided my state of mind and my faith in God would be vital to my battle. During my recovery, I am still enjoying my Bibles studies and my MSQC tutorials and shopping time. God bless you all. At the risk of sounding a bit "cheesy" as we say in the deep South. each of you 3 ladies have a special place in my heart.
I hope you have recovered now and have your strength back. God bless you!
I hope you're doing well now!!
I would have closed that lining edge before finishing! beautiful bags!!
And that is a good time to sew in a label if you want!
Great tutorial. Thank you. For those who find it difficult finding internal pockets, if you cut one of the two pockets pieces in a contrasting fabric, sew the long seam and move the seam so when the side seams are finished a stripe of the contrasting fabric sits on the top of the pocket, it still matches but is highlighted.
I appreciate your patience to do a longer video. I don’t mind having a longer video. When I make this bag I will play a section, do what you demonstrate and then continue on! It’s like having your own private lesson. Don’t worry if the videos are long. We all enjoy every minute!
Amen to that!
Love the bag especially the fact that it has a set in zipper. Looks so much easier then I thought. Thanks Missy you made it look so easy!!! The fabrics were perfect, so bright and beautiful.
Loved, loved, loved this video. Though I love Liz; it was so much easier to follow the steps without interruptions. Thank you, Misty, your teaching method is great. Have a great weekend.
Misty, you are doing great with tutorials! Concise, quick, but clear directions!
I made this last week. Your directions are so easy. I also placed the same fabric as the lining and covered a piece of plastic canvas to strengthen the bottom of the bag.
Thanks for sharing!
I loved this tutorial. Miss your interaction with those watching. Tell Jake and Liz hello. Praying all are well in the shops...stay safe. Blessings !!!
I love making these bags. I made several for beach bags with canvas or light weight outdoor fabric. They are so easy to make and they hold everything for a day at the beach.
Love this video. I can see a passing of the torch from Jenny to the women and men in her family.
Funny, I thought that same thing while watching 🤔
I really love these bags. I am going to make one for myself and my daughters. I know they will love them. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Love this tutorial! I agree with others about making the pocket using a coordinating fabric so that it does not match the lining. Also, I made all my components (straps, pocket, zipper sides) before I started sewing everything together. That way I could just sit down and sew which is my favorite part. Love Missouri Star!
I love the various types of projects that MS is introducing now. I don't really need another large quilt, but I do need some gifting ideas and this bag is definitely one of them. I love the pattern and the fact that it has so much style yet, it is not difficult to make. Misty, you are an excellent teacher! I love how you go through this methodically, not assuming we know what you are doing! Thank you for this. I enjoyed watching this video and am really excited to make this bag!! thank you.
I have been wanting to do a bag that has a lot of special features, this one delivers on everything I was looking for. The tabs on the zipper, the zipper closure on the top, even how to turn it right side out. It was clever to suggest trimming the foam before sewing. Best tutorial I've seen!
Excellent, easy to follow video! You are a video natural!
Only change I would make would be a contrast fabric pocket so my old eyes could find it easily.
My sister and I are watching “together” from S. California a d Oregon. We’re addicted to MSQC tutorials and love this, our first live session!
Love this bag. I'm making one tomorrow! Thank you
Love this I'm going to try one l love Missouri star
I made a bag using a 16 inch square instead of the 20 inch square. I am very pleased with this bag. I appreciate your sharing your talents with others in teaching how to make this bag. Thank you . Ruth B from Ontario
Love the floral fabric...glad it seems to be back in style
Yes it is. The teens call it Cottagecore. There are vast majority of teenagers and 20 somethings who are getting into thrifting their clothes leaning towards florals. It all started during the early days of Covid. Now many are raiding grandmas’ closets and tailoring them to the contemporary style. I think it’s wonderful that this generation are seeing thrifting, repurposing and recycling as a lifestyle.
You have very good instructions on this bag tutorial. I have never seen that type of zipper before, you did not need a zipper foot to attach it. I appreciate that you get right to the point. No pets or music or other interruptions like other craft tutorials. I did have to turn the volume way up for some reason. Great gift idea, thank you.
Glad to see you added the Bosal to the handles-it makes for a more professional finish! Beautiful bag and great tutorial.
Misty didn’t iron the Bosel on the straps. I wondered if ironing or not is an option or should the strap be ironed to secure the Bosel?
@@beckydayton6463 she ironed the strap after folding, securing the bosal inside.
Two very cute bags. I love the set in zippers. I've made lots of bags, but have never done a set in zipper. I'll have to give it a try on the next bag I make. Thank you, Misty, for another great tutorial.
Perfect timing for Christmas Gifts!
I have already made a few bags. My sister wanted one slightly smaller so I cut my squares 16 x 16 and it turned out great. I used cotton webbing strapping for the straps as a time saver
I'm making this bag for my daughter and I wish I had watched the tutorial before I started as some of the instructions are different. I used lightweight interfacing to back my pocket and lined the zipper sides to give those pieces a bit more bulk. The decorative zipper is great!
Thank you Misty! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I love these project tutorials, as well as the quilt tutorials. MSQC is the best!
Even tho I’ve had to watch this video more times that I want to admit because I had such a mental over that zipper thing connecting to the 2nd lining piece once it clicked it was just fantastic thank you so much Misty for this tutorial! I really appreciate your teaching.
Great tip for using the 45 degree line when marking the boxed corner. Thank you for an awesome tutorial.
Made a tote for my yarn projects last night following this tutorial. Zippers are scary (!) but these instructions gave me superpowers. I didn't use batting, didn't quilt mine, because I didn't need sturdiness. My inner lining was satiny while the outer was a cute cotton print. I used the "outer fabric" for pockets on the inside. So happy this tutorial was made, and that I found it!
Tutorial was nicely done and very well explained. I look forward to making one !
Great demo; great instructions. Excellent job, Misty!
M I S T Y !!! You are the cutest! and sweetest! I just love your projects... I've been wanting to make a fabric bag and this is just the one!! Gorgeous fabrics and I appreciate all of your great techniques!
Great job Misty! That was alot of work in your time me slot...you made it look so easy...a great day quarter project with a little bit of coordinating fabric too!
Love this bag and tutorial! Misty always does a great job! I was wondering where Liz was? I haven't seen/heard her behind the camera lately. She and Misty make a great team. Would love to see her come back!
I love this!!! A friend is going to help me and as a thank you I’ve made her some napkins, but wanted something to put them in, and there you are! Quick and easy and I can make it tomorrow . Thank you!!❤️
Great tutorial. I love real time sewing. You are a great teacher, Misty.
Thank you Misty.I’ve had my eye one that fabric for some time. It made your bag beautiful!
Such a lovely tote bag! Another fun and interesting video for me to watch and listen to while I hand quilt! Thanks for posting this and your creative energy!
Love this pretty tote! Good to hear the fancy zips come in longer sizes!
Beautiful fabrics in both bags. Thanks Misty.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. You made it look so easy and doable Misty. Thank you 💞💞
The decorative zipper makes it so easy to install the zipper! I guess I will get a few of those!
I love the cone flower fabric! Just ordered some.
I’ve made lots of bags but I was really glad to see you do the zipper.
GREAT video! You make it look so easy Misty😊. I love the close up camera angle when you are actually sewing.
Just made this lovely bag. The instructions were easy to follow and I just love this bag now.. I want to make more. Thanks Misty for your step by step process.
Love this fabric that you are sewing with for the demo! It’s fabulous! Thanks for a great demo! You do such a great job!!👏👏👏👏👏
Misty, i want to thank you for this tutorial!! With your help i finally made this bag! So happy with the result! Hopefully you are going to show us more tutorials with bags.
Loved making this bag! The hardest part for me was cutting the Bosal. Thanks for these projects!
I can’t wait to make some of these for my crochet projects! Thank you so much!
Misty, I loved this tutorial! You make it easy to follow. I just finished my first bag and know I’ll make more. Thank you! 👍😊
Love this bag. It was easier to make than I thought it would be. I will definitely make one of these.
I've always been intimindated by zippers in bags. I dont' know why, becuase I inserted them in garments for years. This is the first of many bag tutorials that makdes me think I can actually do it. Thanks Misty!!
The handles should start from the bottom to steady the bag because it's a quilted fabric
This is a great idea, in fact, I will be making one of theses for Christmas gifts. Many thanks.
Great project. I'm going to make my first bag! Thanks Misty!
You always make things look so simple.
Great tutorial, I struggled a little since it was the first bag I’ve ever made. I think Misty left out the part about sewing up the hole after turning the bag right side out, but no problem, I figured it out on my own!
Thanks for doing bag tutorials! Can’t wait to make this one in Tula Pink!
you have come a long way baby....lololl perfect tutorials,....thank you
One of the best videos you’ve ever done, Misty! Great job, and I can’t wait to make one... or lots more!
Love this bag misty. Thank you so much for sharing your tutorials. Very easy for people like me!,,
Great job! Love the bright, coordinating colors.
Love this tote bag. Misty your nails are gorgeous!
What beautiful fabric choices!
Beautiful bags. Very clear instructions. Thank you Misty Doan.
These are so cute what great Christmas gifts! Misty oopsie forgot to show that the opening you flip through , you stitch that closed. Loved the video can't wait to make one.
Misty, great job on teaching. Thank you.
I just love the beautiful colors of fabric and the way you make this bag is so simple; at least I gotta try lol.
Thank you so much! I made a quilted bag for my Mother for Mother's day!
Very well done Misty. I too enjoy these smaller projects because my favorite things to make are pouches and totes. Love your fabric choices and I can't wait to try this. The thing I know I will change is on the pocket in the lining I will definitely make that different than the lining or I will never see it. LOL and I may put a zip pocket on the other side of the lining. It would be nice to have a pocket on the outside of the bag but I think it would spoil the look of the bag so I probably will not do that. Again you did a great job of showing us how to make this awesome bag.
Since this is a tote bag, you can’t have too many pockets….LOL
Enjoyed this lesson-you explained it very well.
Love this bag! So cute and easy.
Love this bag...I iron a light weight interfacing on the lining
I miss Liz and live shows. Always watch. Thanks
Me too
Awesome video, love the bag.❤️❤️❤️ Thank you, Misty!
Thank you, what a beautiful bag and a great teacher to show us that it's it so difficult. I'm planning on making two. You did a beautiful job.
Fun times! I didn’t realize until after the very last step (at 1:00 am) that I had sewn the zipper in upside down! 😩 glad I didn’t top stitch the lining opening. Tempted to leave the zipper part off now, either way, the bag is beautiful!
I just finished the 2nd bag 🎒 and I love it. They make a great carry on bag. Perfect 😊
Loved watching your bag tutorial. Nice for gifting!! Thank you for sharing!
What a great video. Misty you are a great teacher, I hope you do more.
Thank you for these easy-to-follow tutorials.
I can’t wait to make this bag. They are so stinkin cute. Thank you.
