Very nice bag. Thanks for the video 😊

[@lendouma3224]

I would have liked to see the step-by-step process on how you made that bag.

[@magdaherbert]

I love this project and the charm squares are very pretty!

[@ginamiller3823]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

This was very helpful.
I've always wanted to make a bag, with handle's for my mat, to take it to my sewing classes.
I may sew a longer handle on, as well, so I can loop it over my headrest whilst traveling in my car.
That way it's not in any direct sunlight. I know heat warp's mat's.
Lovely direction's thank you so much.❤

Beautiful tutorial, what is calico?

[@SewingStudio]

Hello Janice. Calico is a 100% cotton fabric that is unbleached and undyed - we believe in the US it is called Muslin.

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

I just love bit thank you

[@jolewis-brown6608]

Calico is thicker than muslin which in the UK is almost sheer.

[@maryrichardson5841]

I thought you would show where and how to add pockets

[@lesleyseymour6338]

How much lining fabric is needed including the fabric needed to cover the vyline. ?

[@lorriejacobs1498]

What would be the equivalent stabilizer for in the lining to be used in the U.S.?

[@marywhalen364]

My question, too.

[@suestutzle2779]

Here in Australia here in Australia calico is much sturdier than muslin. Calico would be a good lining. Cheaper and yet sturdy. I like the bag but didn't quite catch what was used for the dividing section of the bag. Is it some sort of thick wadding?

[@SewingStudio]

Hi Sue, Katrina used a stabiliser called Vilene to make the centre section sturdier.

[@terrieberly8109]

@@SewingStudio Thank you for this answer because I couldn't make out what you called it and the closed captioning didn't help as they called it violin something or other LOL Katrina I am a newbie to quilting and found you @1 yr ago and I've learned alot. Thank you for all you do.

[@wandawalker4191]

I think calico is the British term for muslin.

[@SewingStudio]

Yes, that's correct!

[@Poshfrocknfluffyslip]

That cutting mat will never fit into that bag!

[@SewingStudio]

Hello! This bag was made to fit a 24 x 18" cutting mat.
