I love how you make the cross body bag so quick and easy. While watching your tutorial, I was thinking, why couldn't it be made on a larger scale, without the pocket, and fabric handles, to make a grocery shopping bag, so I tried that, and I made a shopping bag. I have made approximately 40 grocery shopping bags over the years, none of them with linings. I have to tell you, your way of making the cross body bag, which I made shopping bag size, is so much quicker, and easier than the way I used to make them, with the added bonus of being lined. I have watched a few of your videos, and I am always amazed by how quick and easy you make things. Thank You so much for giving me a better, quicker, easier way to make shopping bags.
Brilliant tutorial 😊 I've just made this bag today, and your instructions were so easy and clear to follow. I really enjoyed making this bag. Thankyou 😊
Thank You for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us. I will making a lot of these, what a clever, and easy way to make a purse, the best part is, you can make it any size you want. Love it.
@@megelles How did you use the mesh fabric and what type of mesh is it. I have tried sewing on the stuff and made a mess! Learning how to use the stuff on your quick and easy bag would be awesome! Thank you, Louise
Such an amazing creative way to sew the little bag, with nice clean hidden seams.. Sew creative!. What is the measurement of the piece to make the little pocket shown at the end of the video?. Also, not sure how to sandwich that smaller pocket layer in?. Thank you.. 😊
Hi Brenda The size of the pockets can vary depending on what you would like to use them for. (And sorry, I don't have the original samples anymore to check for you, as I gave the bag to my sister). If you are adding a smaller pocket the outside fabric needs to be longer. The smaller pocket is folded in the same way as the larger pocket- it is just folded shorter. Please just have a play with a strip of fabric and make to size to suit your requirements. Cheers Lisa
It was very awesome l have watched this video so many times and kept in mind perfectly so l have stich 4 bags for gifts but l have noticed dat u have not use smaller piece. Of lining is it correct or miss something while editing thanks a lot for this upload ❤️
@@mugdhajadhav9051 Hi Mugdha I cut and used two different fabrics for the contrast and ended up making 2 bags that were opposite. I hope that explains it. Cheers Lisa
They can be any size depending on how you fold the bag. 15 cm wide. 42cm and 65 cm are approximate measurements as you can just use strips as wide as what you would like your bag and vary the depth as well. Happy sewing
@@megelles Thankyou Lisa for your prompt reply. I’ve made a practice one and made the strap the width of the fabric and about 5/8 inch wide. It turned out great, so now I’ve cut out 6 more ready to go. They’re perfect for teenage girls, and very easy and quick. Thanks so much 🌷
Thank you. No nonsense video. As I am new to sewing greatly appreciate your talents and sharing them.
Thank you. Happy sewing
Ms. Megelles, you do not make the instruction overly complicated. Thank You❤
Glad it was helpful!

I am not sure what you mean. I initially cut two different fabrics and only used one piece of each. cheers Lisa
Yes I mean to say that why you have cut 4 pieces only 2 have to
But I love this so much

Is there a pdf for these directions to download?
Thank you Rose. There isn’t written instructions as the bag can be any size. I will send you a few photos that will help. Cheers Lisa
you commented you love your machine, what kind is it
Janome
I'm so sorry, I don't understand English. Can you tell me how many cm the strips are in length?
They can be any size depending on how you fold the bag. 15 cm wide. 42cm and 65 cm are approximate measurements as you can just use strips as wide as what you would like your bag and vary the depth as well. Happy sewing
@@megelles It seems like as much as you do would be enough for me. Thank you very much for the information. Good day to your health🤍
Youre a genius
Thank you!! My sister loves these bags. Have fun making one or two.
@@megelles approximately how long is the cord please
@@warialdasue About 1m - I like to make it longer rather than shorter so you could put the bag across your body.
@@megelles Thankyou Lisa for your prompt reply. I’ve made a practice one and made the strap the width of the fabric and about 5/8 inch wide. It turned out great, so now I’ve cut out 6 more ready to go. They’re perfect for teenage girls, and very easy and quick. Thanks so much 🌷
I love it butIam a slow learner and wish you’d go slower.
Noted! and thank you for watching. Remember that you are able to adjust the speed in your settings. cheers Lisa
