    I make my own straps with two inch wide strip for the cord string. It's more economical and it won’t fray. I watched your tutorial to learn how to insert a zipper pocket. I want to add it to my backpacks. I love the french seam too. Love all my TH-cam teachers. Thank you.

    Perfect gift for everyone!
    I gotta tell you this... I decided to watch this “big” - I put you up on my big tv and as I sat on the floor looking up and watching my 18 year old son walks through- he said I look like a kid watching my favorite show! ☺️ I was watching my favorite!!!💕

    LOVE your personality and joyful attitude! Your tutrial was so easy to follow and I was able to make several with some vintage fabric that I've been waiting to use. You make me laugh when you laugh at your mistakes making it easier for me to overcome my own mistakes. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

    Made your amazing drawstring bag this weekend in no time and LOVE IT! I can't wait to make more of them. I haven't been sewing for long, but you make learning so easy and so much fun, I laughed out loud numerous times while watching. Keep the amazing tutorials coming!

    Loved your tutorial! So fun, still perfectly constructed. Definitely going to do this. Only thing I’d say is pocket side should be close to the body for safety.

    Great tips and tutorial. A bodkin will make putting the cord through the "pocket" so much easier than the safety pin. It's my new favorite tool!! (Sarah at Sew Sweetness gave me the idea)

    Can never have enough bags, hold ‘em in your hand, sling ‘em over your shoulder, slap ‘em on your back. This is great, especially with the zippered pocket for notions, patterns and such for crafters. Yay!

    A tip that I do when inserting a drawstring. I like to use a wide tube plastic drinking straw. Run the straw in your drawstring channel. Then run the string through the inside the drinking straw. No fabric restance or safety pin sticking to the fabric. Remove drinking straw from drawstring channel. Leaving the drawstring in the fabric channel. Ta da !!! Easy Peasy. A narrow pumming pipe could work too. Instead of drinking straw.👨‍🔧

    I thank you 🙏 for this creative tuto Mister Domestic ! I subscribed to your channel since last xmas🎅 then used to follow your activities👩‍💻 .In fact, I didn't grab any knowledges 🤷‍♀️ in sewing yet but I will start to learn seam's rudiments with a known professional who provides course 💁🏼‍♀️ from September 🍂 and I hope 🧞‍♀️ I will be able once to do the items that you tremendously make 🏆
    Anyway, I am delighted with the idea to realise fabrics goodies by my own and I very look forward to start the teaching !
    Best regards from FRANCE 🇫🇷
