Fabulous tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to film this and especially for taking time to explain the why’s of each step. Even a novice sewer like me could follow this!! God bless!
Thank you for doing this to help us out. Also wanted to say thank you for talking to us like we aren't a bunch of dummies, like some of the others do. You did awesome.
Liz, thank you for sharing this complete project folder tutorial along with all of the tips for a beautiful binding finish. So very generous of you! Can’t wait to try making one or several!
Thank you sooo much for the tutorial and the time you spent on it. It's excellent, you make exactly the right comments to help us through and I love the result. I'm gonna follow more of your tutorials soon!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been sewing for 63 years (not a typo). For many years I made my second income sewing. Your tutorial showed me the very best way to miter corners. Love your method. It works every time.
Hi Elizabeth! Love this folder and plan to make many more. I see seasonal fabric to match the season I am stitching. I made one change of adding a 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" clear pocket to the upper right on the front so I can put the name of the project contained in the folder. Thanks again for the great tutorial!
You make the BEST tutorials, Liz! I just finished my first EPP project (it’s a 6 point start around a hexie) and was going to appliqué it down to a background. Was thinking about about making a vinyl project bag but wasn’t happy that the EPP wouldn’t really be visible. This is going to be perfect!!! 💃🥰👏
I loved watching this tutorial. Let’s see what I need to make a bag: Everything, including a sewing machine, quilting rulers, rotary cutter, etc. Oh well, I’ll just watch and wish….😁
I've been quilting several years but learned a few tricks about binding in this tutorial. It's also the best tutorial for the magnetic closure I've seen. Thanks!
Thanks for the very precise instructions. I also like the extra tip on using a crochet hook for turning the flap and pushing out the corners. When doing the binding your instructions to stitch into the corners is also another great idea. Can’t wait to make myself a few of these folders thanks to your sharing your talents with this community.
Liz, you are a wonderful teacher!! This is by far and away the best tutorial I have ever watched (for anything!) on TH-cam. Thank you very much for making this video and for the written list as well. I feel like if I played and paused the video as I went, I could actually do this (something I would not have dreamed of attempting). Many thanks ❤️
I thought that I must finish one design cross stitch before starting another. But when I see some cross stitchers who start stitching several designs in the same time, I finally think why not... It's a reason to create beautiful pouch for storage and I will stitching a design when I want... I will doing like you. 🥰🥰 Thanks american stitchers for showing me a funny way to stitch 🌹
Thank you so much for this great video. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I hope my process of creating a folder goes as easy as yours. Now, let's try to make one this week. By the way, I use your video to create my project bags. The video is so easy to follow.
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. I made I think it was Ashley. This tutorial is so helpful now I see why you had us of some of the things we did. My next folder will be so much nicer now that I see what the end project is like. I am still using the other folder but my next one will look way more professional and I won't be ashamed to give it as a gift.
Fantastic tutorial. I’m reaming of making one of these project folders. When the time comes I’m sure that I’ll be watching this video again. Thank you very much.
Wonderful video! Very well explained too! Easy to follow your instructions!! I love EVERYTHING By Annie!! Love her Soft & Stable/zippers by the yard too! Snaps. Name it she has it! You can never go wrong with any of By Annie products! ❤️❤️ Thank you!!
Thank you for posting this tutorial! I've been wanting to make one of these project folders and this is perfect. I made a vinyl front project bag from another one of your other tutorials and I love it. It's my favorite project bag. Your tutorials are so easy to follow even for me. I appreciate all the measurements. You're a good teacher. I'm excited to start this.
You did an excellent job of showing us how to make this bag. Thank you for taking it slow for us new bees. I can already plan on making some of these as gifts.
Great tutorial! I’ve made several project bags but none with a magnetic closure. May I suggest next time you make the wrap around tab, you leave the opening for turning on the LONG side? Much easier to get the corner fabrics turned through rather than the tiny opening at the bottom end. I look forward to making one very soon. Thanks again for sharing!
A year ago I bought this exact project pattern from someone and it was so complicated it came with 12 pages written and 2 hr video that as an experienced sewer I still had to fudge a couple parts. I don't know how I missed this when you put it up at first but you nailed it. Absolutely perfect instructions.
Guess what? I've made 3 of these project folders and absolutely love them!! I messed up each time but was able to fix them and I used velcro instead of the magnet closure. Thanks so much for the tutorial!!
I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I have everything in my sewing room except the fusible foam. I went to Joanna today. They only had fusible foam on one side. I will make do. I would say if no one has the magnetic snaps you can use large sew on snaps. One pack at Joanns was $7. I would check Amazon I am off Monday so will be making one 😁😃😊
If only I could LIKE LIKE LIKE the video a few hundred times. What a fantastic tutorial and so many great hints and tips. Can't wait to sew one up. Cheers!
We’ll all I can say is I wish I had seen this video five or six years ago when I stumbled through making something similar, but more complicated than it needed to be. A friend mentioned this video on Fb a week ago and the possibility of our group making a folio. This is so easy to follow, even a non sewist could follow and have a nice finished project. Thank you for taking time to create a fun, easy project keeper. 👍
Elizabeth thank you for taking the time to make a tutorial on making this project folder. Your instructions are fantastic. I appreciate that you also included the written information. You are really generous with your time and knowledge. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this. I love the design. Plan to make one today. By the way, I first thought you were giving us "thumbs up" during your sewing tutorials until I realized that was one of the buttons on your machine. I still like the idea that you are always encouraging us during your videos.
Thank you so much Liz! The vinyl was incredibly sticky on my sewing machine, so that was a real battle, but even a novice sewer like myself managed it🙃
Elizabethann you are amazing and a great teacher at first I thought no way I cannot make that bag it looks too hard but after watching your video I said I can do that and I plan on making one if not more thank you for sharing your talent I have been watching you from day one you are a super star. God Bless You 😊
HACK that works! What works great as a turning tool are those a cleaned extra large Bubble Tea sized straw and a chopstick that fits in the straw. Stick the straw and the edge you want to start turning and start pushing the chopstick thru along with the straw and push it thru using the chopstick to turn it out. The straw seems to slide along fine and I've turned a 60 inch strap thru no problem. I'm sure it'd work fine for long but so far the things I've needed it for haven't been much larger. Oh I turn a large pillow case thru no problem. I've been using this hack for quite a few years. Recenty I've noticed they actually sell something simular for way more money. If you have an Asian supermarket in your city they sell packages for very inexpensive amount.
Thanks for your willingness to share. Love this style for the pattern, threads, etc. With this tutorial and instructions I think I can make this too 😊❤
Excellent tutorial Liz. There is no guessing in regards to instructions. This is a wonderful gift idea for anyone who works with small tools or just keeping craft supplies in one place. I am planning to make a "project case" but adding a couple more loose leaf type clear plastic cases attached at the centre. This would be perfect for those important papers that everybody has stored in a box! Thanks for the idea and for sharing!
Awesome tutorial. Very detailed and easy to follow your directions. Thank you for taking the time to film this video and for sharing with all of your viewers.

I have rarely seen anyone who could explain things so well. This is my new favorite channel!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this tutorial. I finally see how to get a perfect binding corner.
I'm so glad!
What a great Video! Now I need to make at least 8 of them for my stitchy friends!
Love it, I made a bag similar to this but instead of the zipper pocket I made little pockets for each bobbin that my floss was wrapped around
