I love these Itty Bitty Bags! I think one would be so cute hanging off of Barbie's arm. All the ideas that have come up are so exciting to me. Thank you so much for the videos.

[@nz-nz]

Oh I like the idea about using the other part of the zipper tape for the handles!!!!!!!! 👍👍

[@marykelly2645]

Christine, I cannot tell you how glad I am to have found your channel. Thank you for your kindness in sharing your wonderful ideas and skills. The itty bitty are magic.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you so much Mary 😀

[@heatherbinns5910]

Those are adorable! Great to hold anything small: chapstick, earbuds, keys. Maybe even a credit card and some folded cash so you could just clip it on your belt loop when you're out shopping and don't want to drag your big purse along

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Heather. They're also great ideas 🙂

[@dorothydishman4664]

A great bag to introduce little girl toddlers to their own purse. Pack it with little things to entertain them while in church.❤

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

I love these little bags! One thing that I do when I need an opening on a lining, is rather than stop stitching and then starting again a little further away, when I get to the first mark for the opening, I back stitch a little, then change to basting, sew down the opening, then change the stitch length back, back stitch, and then continue to the end. A quick meld with the iron and open the seam (both sides) with the tip of the iron. When I am ready for the opening, I just snip the basting stitches and I have nice, crisp edges for matching and stitching by machine or by hand. This is particularly helpful if the opening is going to be on the bias….it helps to get things lined up for closing in the event stretching occurs while turning the piece right side out. As well, often I will take a slightly larger piece and make a seam down the middle, then cut the lining piece from that, making sure to use the method just described. This makes it much easier for me when the sides of the lining are on the bias, because the opening is on the straight of grain.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks for sharing your methods Patricia😁

[@diananesbitt1260]

I really like them. Perfect for cc, bills, and change. Teenagers would love them with a wrist type handle. After all they need a hand to hold their phone!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Haha. Perhaps they need one for their phone too 😃

[@normaoconnor7270]

I am 92 years old and have been sewing since I was 12. I absolutely love all of your programs. I have adaped the itty bitty bag to use a regeular zipper and have made over a dozen and It is my favorite so far. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's so awesome Norma. Thanks for sharing😀

[@stephanielandry6251]

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks so much Stephanie😊

[@debbiedempsky8160]

I love these. Not sure how fast I could get the zipper tab back on the tape though. Probably spend 15 minutes sewing and 45 minutes cussing and fiddling with the zipper. Such a creative and adorable item. I think your price is just right. Well done.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Debbie. Those sliders can be a real pain sometimes 🤪

[@goldenslippa]

These are SOOOOOO adorable.!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

[@jacquipf2446]

I love these! When I was in my teens the five and dime store (don’t ask my age) sold little plastic/vinyl bags similar to this. We girls would put in a lipstick, safety pins, change, tissues, comb, etc. and call it our “emergency kit.” Your lesson brought back a chapter in my life that I’d forgotten about. I’m going to have to try making one…or two! 🥰 Love your channel ❤

I love them and think they will do well, I'm going to start doing some now. Thank You !! stay safe, looking forward to the next tutorial. 🤗😊💕

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's wonderful PUG. Those zippers can be very frustrating at times. Have a happy sewing day! 😀

[@sharonandrews4910]

LOVE this! It puts me in mind of an old fashioned carpet bag, so yes, have a contrasting bottom. Super way to work through your stash and utilize the unused zipper half. If your local elementary and/or high schools have events open to the public, perhaps you could operate a booth selling things kids and teens would like. I imagine the girls would likely ‘squeeeee’ over these. Heck, I imagine grown women doing the same!😊 My nephew’s three daughters certainly will when I make one for each. Thank you for this!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Sharon. It's funny, I thought the girls would be the ones squealing for these, but so far it's the adults that are more excited about them😀

[@maryhull531]

Very cute and they have a purpose too.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]
