Thank you so very much for lighting a fire in my life. I do not have a natural talent for sewing. I am the grandchild of a phenomenal seamstress who designed her own clothes, made her own patterns, and repurposed feed sacks as well as clothing of quality passed down to her from ladies who had outgrown, or replaced their clothing. She even made some of her husband’s suits and ties from other men’s clothing. She made a beautiful wedding for a another nurse for 50 cents.dressBut as with many artists, they move so fast and don’t have time to patiently teach a child or a person of less ability. You teach in a logical, systematic manner that leaves no question of how to make your creations in step by step precision. I feel a great desire to attempt to tackle your lovely creations. I m 75 and look forward with confidence in following your instructions. I love your ability to take two entirely different designs of fabric and make them seem made for each other after you finish the project. I thank you so very much. God bless you for your clarity and patience.
This was the most enjoyable tutorial I have watched on TH-cam, no music, dog barking and emergency sirens, only your voice. Thank you so much and with your instructions, I’m going to give it a try. Thanks again
I just found you and I have to say this is one of the best tutorial videos I have ever watched, Your instruction are clear and concise; what a wonderful teacher you are. I'm looking forward to making this bag and more of your wonderful creations. Thank you!
Beautiful project with concise tutorial and no chatting. I absolutely love it and grateful for your generosity. I'm making one right now and follow along with you.
Thank you so much for not having music on your video. Tutorials don’t realize how distracting and eventually irritating it can be. This is lovely, straight forward and soothing. Very clear directions. I haven’t looked at the pattern yet and it’s so understandable. Thanks for your work.
Very good video! Clear instructions. I like how you showed sewing slow to medium is the way to be accurate. Good for you for not feeling pressure to shorten the video and race through it. Beautiful bag!
I have been sewing for 50 years, since 5th grade. I happened to find this today and I can't stop watching your tutorials. You are AWESOME! Plus I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE bags & purses! I can't wait to watch your live tutorial! I'll be watching my first "LIVE" tonight!
I have been searching for a pattern like this and was so excited when I saw this. I have been watching you on TH-cam for a while and think your voice is so pleasant, and love how you get right to the point. You obviously worked very hard on this pattern and I want to thank you so much for sharing. I’m getting the cutting done today. Can’t wait to actually get to use it. 😃
Wow .so beautiful...I like your pattern...instead of stay at home watching TV without doing anything...come housewife..let us do like this for our side income beside garderning/planting veg/flowers..thankyou for sharing this video in your channel good luck 👍😍
What a wonderfully concise tutorial -- beautifully explained (even those little things to stop you sewing down with the tabs facing the bottom). You have wonderful diction and it's easy to understand what you are explaining. And finally - the product is absolutely GORGEOUS!
What a phenomenal bag! I enjoyed watching you make it as much as any TH-cam video I’ve ever seen. I love that you aren’t afraid to explain and then just sew with no talking. I love watching people sew or knit or crochet. I don’t need a constant stream of talking. You were always clear about what you were doing and your demonstration is crystal clear. I’m thanking you for posting the video and for your generous free pattern. I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos and any future videos you post.
What's not to like about this video??? My dear you are amazing! your talent is inspiring. I can't wait to make one of these. Your instructions are complete, the video is clear... it doesn't get any better then this. Good job well done. Thank you for being a excellent instructor.
Very beautiful bag. I am planning to make some stuffs for my and daughter so I am studying and watching many basic sewing videos here in youtube but then when I ordered many stuffs I have a problem on where to put all my necessary starting kits so it will not make any mess at home. Good thing I found this video. Really beautiful bag and easy instructions. I am now excited on the things I bought and is planning on borrowing first sewing machine on my grandma's place to check if I have the talent for this and then will be buying my first sewing machine if I found this easy.
I want you to know that I think you are an amazing teacher and the pattern and your instructions were like awesome I can thank you enough for being such a great teacher and I am having such a good time making this bag I'm not completely finished but I want to show it to you because I'm super proud of it thank you so much😊❤
Wow, no wonder craft bags are so expensive! You did a great job and the detailed step-by-step instructions were easy to follow. Perhaps the folks who gave thumbs down didn't like the length of the video but you can always fast forward and get the highlights if you are that impatient (and if you are, then sewing is not a good hobby for you!).
I've just finished this project it's the first time I've ever made a bag and it's turned out lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely pattern and tutorial, very kind of you. X
I am sooo happy with my Oslo finished bag! I would not have done it if it weren't for you video instructions! Thank you soo much! I love all your projects!
When I received the Oslo pattern I saved it to my computer with a "some day maybe" thought. I've always wanted a craft bag like this but have yet to find a pattern or tutorial that I thought was "doable". Yay!!! I think I've found it. Just watched the tutorial and am getting ready to finally print out my pattern. You make this look so easy and while I am sure I'll run into a glitch or two along the way I think I will finally get my craft bag without spending a fortune and knowing I did it myself. Thank you so much.
Thank you for such a cool pattern and amazing sweet instructions! Teaching I am for sure is just 1 of your many talents! Your teaching is clear, and perfect to follow and not yacky as I get distracted by lots of chit chat and not at all boring! Thank you for what you do!
I found this tutorial very interesting making the Oslo Craft Bag and it is beautiful and you make it look very easy to make. The tutorial is awesome and Thank you for demonstrating how to make it.
Wow. You are such a phenomenal teacher. All instruction and no additional chatter. I'm a new subscriber and hope to try making this bag. Thank you so much!
You're a great teacher; you show exactly how you do this, each and every step, down to the way you sew it and hold the pieces while sewing. Very clear view of your hands. Thank you! And....you don't talk more than necessary; I find that sooo good bc too much talk is distracting; we can SEE what you are doing!
I was fortunate and received the pattern.....Made mine without the side flaps.....love all the pockets and found something to put into each......my cutting table is neater! Thank you for another great pattern that just glides together easily!
You are such a good instructor. Your teaching method helps me who is really a beginner. I have made one baby quilt and sewn a couple of quilt tops but have never sewn item like bags so by walking us through step by step, I have the confidence to make this bag. I knew your name was familiar. I signed up for your craftsy class "Building Better Bags" some time ago, but never had the courage to make your class projects so have not watched the class yet.
I just found this video this afternoon and I did sit down with a cup of coffee and watched THE WHOLE THING.........a WHOLE HOUR AND 37 mins and I was so happy to do so!!! I appreciate that you took the time out of your day to put this together........stitch by stitch...... and showed the newbies and some of us not so newbies how to make this great bag. I like to see the steps ........regardless of how "long" the video is. I picked up some great tips too! By all means.......keep them coming.......step by step, stitch by stitch and don't pay any attention to the complainers. You did a great job!!!!
One of the best videos I have watched. Thanks for all the detail and not leaving viewers trying to figure things out by themselves. Grammie thinks you are super.
Wow! Have never seen a tutorial with such detailed instructions. Have been sewing for more years than I can remember lol and this is best instruction I have ever seen. Great bag and love the Tula fabric. Thank you for your time in doing this 😊🤗😊
Thank you for the step to step video. I am a visual learner and I need this to fully understand how to do something like this. I have watched many bag type videos and most are not as complete in the explanation as this seems to be. I also want to thank you for the pattern that is also very unusual, most send you to the website to purchase the pattern and I have always stayed away from them because their videos did not give me all the information I thought I need to start the project. So GREAT JOB sara
I have just come across this video. What a fantastic tutorial. So clear and well explained - makes it look so easy. I have been wanting to make one of these for awhile , but kept putting it in the too hard basket. But now too easy! Big thank you!
Sara, thank you very much for this video tutorial and the pattern. My pattern downloaded with no problems! Thank you for all the tips. I appreciate your walking us through each and every step. You make it look so easy! I am anxious to actually make this Craft Bag. I recently "discovered" you and am having so much fun "binge watching" all your TH-cam tutorials! Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do for your followers! You are very generous!
New subscriber here Sara. I have recently moved to a new home and have finally settled in and now as a reward to myself I want to start doing some sewing. Ran across your videos and that did it for me. I have already subscribed to your newsletter and downloaded the pdf pattern for the Oslo Craft bag. Thanks for the push I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed watching as you exacuted this bag. VERY well done and also enjoyed watching each detail shown.
I don't know why anyone would give you a thumbs down!!!!! You were so easy to follow along and learn by. I haven't sewn anything before and just got my first sewing machine. You have made me feel encouraged that even I could do this soon. Do you have a beginners bag tutorial too? Thanks for explaining every step. Blessings
I watched this video thinking it was going to be just another short tutorial. Your Oslo Craft Bag is so beautiful and functional and your tutorial was great so that I can actually feel confident to make one of these for myself.
This project was amazingly easy to complete. I made mine without the straps to use at my work table for tool storage, etc. I’ll try to attach photos of my finished bag/tool storage.
I would say the Oslo Craft Bag. This is the first video tutorial I watched and I feel in love. It is also the first bag I made and now have made 2. This bag has also helped me make the Sloan travel bag which I will hopefully finish tonight! Thank you Sarah and Danny for all that you do. You have brought joy to my life when I needed it most.
Another great bag from you. I do have to say I enjoy your tutorials as you are so easy to understand and follow. So a huge thank you for putting your time into these video's for us all out here. And your sewing is very neatly done. Hope you have a good sewing day today.
Great tutorial! When I saw the bag I thought it would be way too complicated for my skill level, but you broke it down so well that I am going to try it!

What a lovely story. 😊
Your grandmother sounds like a phenomenal treasure.

You made a beautiful bag .I’m so glad when you used inches instead of centimeters.
I never learned centimeters in school we used feet n inches.

I'm glad it's detailed and long. I hate it when videos speed up and I can't tell how it's being done or how long it will take.
I would like a pattern

By far one of the BEST tutorials I've watched. I love all the details and reminders you give between sewing. Thank you!
I like that with your patterns you actually shows how to sew them by really sewing. Thanks for pattern and video.
I know exactly what you mean!
Sew Sweetness is “Sew Smartness” - Inspiring!
This is very good for organizing the sewing room.

I'm loving this bag..I must have watched this video 20 times to make sure I've got it down pat before attempting to tackle it
Very nice. Great that you took the time to show the actual “sewing” as so many videos just jump the finished view.
Thank you for this wonderful step-by-step tutorial. I've just started to try my hand at sewing bags. I'll have to watch this video a few more times.
Thank you to show as tossew bag
You are an excellent teacher and a beautiful carryall .
Your tutorial is so easy to follow and I’m excited to make this bag! I love the fabric line you are using.

Thank You so much for sharing. You are so much fun to watch.
Love love love how clearly you explain things. Thank you so much!
New subscriber here Sara. I have recently moved to a new home and have finally settled in and now as a reward to myself I want to start doing some sewing.

Jealousy. Or just foolish people who have nothing better to do with their life.
You are a brilliant teacher! If TH-camrs are not teaching like you...they are doing it all wrong! Great video!
I watched this video thinking it was going to be just another short tutorial. Your Oslo Craft Bag is so beautiful and functional and your tutorial was great so that I can actually feel confident to make one of these for myself.
This project was amazingly easy to complete. I made mine without the straps to use at my work table for tool storage, etc. I’ll try to attach photos of my finished bag/tool storage.
I guess I don’t know how to do that here. I’ll try on FB
Sara, you did such an amazing job in teaching us how to put the tote together. Thanks and keep up the great job.
Great video--everything was so well explained--love your color combinations in your craft bag!
I would say the Oslo Craft Bag. This is the first video tutorial I watched and I feel in love. It is also the first bag I made and now have made 2. This bag has also helped me make the Sloan travel bag which I will hopefully finish tonight! Thank you Sarah and Danny for all that you do. You have brought joy to my life when I needed it most.
Your videos are so easy to follow. I really appreciate the time you put into making this tutorial. Putting it on my list!
Very complete tutorial. Thanks. The bag looks magnificent.
Another great bag from you. I do have to say I enjoy your tutorials as you are so easy to understand and follow. So a huge thank you for putting your time into these video's for us all out here. And your sewing is very neatly done. Hope you have a good sewing day today.
Great tutorial! When I saw the bag I thought it would be way too complicated for my skill level, but you broke it down so well that I am going to try it!
I love your detailed tutorials. I know I am late to your videos, but I just started sewing a few months ago.
