And here I am almost 3 years later and soooo many bags later and I’m watching it again to make another one today!!! So yes, please don’t ever take this video down!!! It’s the best one out there!!!
I have watching this video at least 20 times to make one bag. LOL! Please don’t ever take it down, I will need to watch it many more times to make more bags! Thank you!!!
Same here and still haven't gotten one made lol
You are SO not alone - I have made about 25 bags and I still watch this! NOT a natural on the sewing machine so appreciate this reference every time.
I would have to agree! This is a fantastic video on how to make the bag!
Me too and I still mess them up!
This video is perfect! Not too long, very concise. Your mistake showed me that if I make a mistake, it’s not the end of the world! Thank you!
I just found this, 10/17/23. This is incredible. NO BINDING!!!!
I have watched this tutorial over and over and used it over and over and referred back to it over and over!! Thank you SO much for making it!! After making about 12 bags - I guess I can stop now 😂😂 THANKS AGAIN!!
Hahaha I love it! Thank you!
The best project bag video ever posted. Thank you so much for your explanations. The detail is just what every pattern needs.
Genius!
Love your 'stamp' fabric... good tutorial.. especially zipper not velcro.. Annie
Adorable. New subscriber. Thanks for sharing how to correct your boo-boo.
This is HANDS DOWN the very best tutorial for a project bag on the internet. Your instructions are wonderful and easy to follow. Every time I make a bag I come right back here to refresh my memory. Every bag is perfect every time. Thank you!!!
thank you!!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial ❤
Liz, thanks for making the error and showing us how to fix it🤗🤗🤗
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial, Elizabeth!
This is the absolute BEST video on making project bags! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I watch it each time I sit down to sew a new bag.
One of the best ever How-to videos because you showed what can happen and how to fix it. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
I'm actually glad to see the mistake AND the repair on your video. It helps viewers to know it's still all ok in the end. No big deal. Nice job on the bag!
That is adorable !!!!
This is a really great tutorial. I won't be afraid of zippers anymore
Your mistake is part of learning and it really helps me to see how you fixed the “learning opportunity “.thanks for a great tutorial. Catherine
I have just made my first ever project bag. Your directions are so easy to follow. I love that you don’t edit out your mistakes. That’s how we learn. ❤🎉
Really perfect tutorial !!!!! but confusing when putting together. Thank you so much for sharing. Wish i could show you what mine is. New fan hello from USA,OHIO
This is a great tutorial for a lined bag with a zipper. I appreciate that you showed us the mistake and how to fix it.
I know why this is your top videos. I watch it every time I make a bag. Thank you. Looking forward to trying your folder tutorial.
GREAT VIDEO lovely actually seeing someone make something with a correct lining inside, where all seams are hidden. Thank you so much for this informative video - best one I have seen.
Great tutorial - made my first bag today using your detailed instructions (without the hole!). Thought I had the zipper opening on the right, but no, it was on the left as I wanted. Duh on pulling just the lining through to close the bottom up! But all said and done, it came out perfect. Can't believe it!
Great Demo!!!! Thank you Thank you!!!!
Very pretty ❤
You are like me I watch many times especially how to sew zips
Superb…thank you x Dottie
Great job! Great instructions!
I LOVE ❤️ IT ALLLLLL THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to thank you for the very good tutorial. Broke my ankle in March, needed something to do in rehab. Ordered everything from FQS for Flea Market Flowers. After I came home in May, I decided to work on my fabric stash. I, so far have made 9 project bags. Getting a little faster. Keep trying to make them a little stiffer. Peltek is not bad. Very difficult to work with when turning the bag. Thanks again and congrats on your wedding.
What a great tutorial for a simple project bag. I'm very much at a beginner level when it comes to sewing, but I was able to make this in just a few hours and my zipper (first one I've ever done) only came out slightly crooked! I'm calling it a win. Thank you for the step by step! I love my new project bag.
Yay! So glad it was helpful! Congrats on your first bag!
Terrific tutorial thanks so much for sharing 😊
Thank you! Needed a change from vinyl front bags and tutorial was awesome!
Love your tutorial. Thank you!
I really like that you left the mistake in & showed how you fixed it!! Whenever I help someone learn to sew (or knit) I find that one of the biggest obstacles is getting them comfortable that mistakes can & will happen, but that they can (usually) be fixed!
ps - also love the bag!
oh for sure! Thank you so much!
I totally agree. We all need to see how to do repairs as well.
I have used your tutorial SO many times and I just wanted to stop in here for a minute and thank you again, as I am making a couple more project bags today! Thank you, Liz!
Aww yay! Glad you find it so helpful!
I don't know if I've ever commented on this video but I love it! I even Love your mistakes cuz they're the same ones I keep making and I like that you show how to fix them. Thank you so much for all your tutorials.
Thanks for showing us,will have a try
To err is human. It's part of the job. Kisses from Argentina!!!
I just finished making my first project bag and I love it! Thank you for your very simple instructions! I am really not a sewer but it turned out great!😊
Wonderful!
Just made this🎉thank you I was going to buy a project bag but don’t need to now ❤
yay!! So glad you were able to make your own!!
I'm going to try this one for sure. I made some of the vinyl front ones, and had a hard time keeping my top stitching lines straight. This type of bag should be easier for me.
Excellent tutorial...thank you so much.
Made 7 bags in the last 2 days using your tutorial! Great instructions! Thank you!
amazing! Thank you!
Great tutorial!! Thank you.
Gonna try this method this weekend! Thank you somuch😍
Excellent video.Managed to complete a bag on first attempt
Well done!
Superb tutorial. Referred by Cory Creates. I’m very glad I came over to watch. I learned a lot. Thank you. I also subscribed. Looking forward to your future projects.
Awesome! Thank you!
Brilliant tutorial!! Thank you!!
Loved your tutorial, thank you.
Awesome tutorial.
Thank you so much - finally took the plunge and made a project bag using your video today. Couldn't have done it without you!
Yay! So glad you found it helpful!
Wow thank you so much 💗💗💗
Great tutorial!
Brilliant. Thanks!
This is the best tutorial I've seen! I love that it's made from solid pieces. So many tutorials show them done with small pieces that have to be quilted together first. They're cute, and I love quilting, but don't want to have to do it for a project bag. Thank you!
oh thank you so much!! Yes I really just wanted to show the technique for putting it together and then people can customize it however they like with quilting or with trims or just as is!
I just made a bag! Thanks so much!! 😁
You are so welcome!
Thank you, it’s lovely
Your bag has become an obsession lols. So refer to it over n over. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Love from Ohio
This is such a great tutorial Liz. I have watched it over and over and have finally made a few bags. I really appreciate the time you take to make these tutorials available.
Thank you for such a fabulous tutorial. Definitely the best project bag instructions I’ve followed. This bag will be the first of many.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was very easy to follow and I didn’t have to seam rip AT ALL! I managed to make a bag during 2 quarters of football. 🤣 Your explanations are great and I just needed to trust the process and it all worked out.
Thnanks so much for the tutorial! I just finished my first Project bag and I love it!
Wonderful!
Stumbled across your channel as I was looking for a project bag for my cross stitch. Lo and behold.you not only cross stitch but quilt as well. So do I. I followed it step by step and it was perfect. Instructions. Ended up with an awesome project bag and I'll be making two more tomorrow! Awesome video and thank you so much for putting it out.
you're a wonderful teacher with clear instructions!
I just finished making a bag following your tutorial, thank you very much. It was a tad more difficult for
me because I used a cris stitch piece so I have to add fabric to the side and ended up a size different than yours so have to figure out sizes. Made a few mistakes, including putting the front upside down despite your warning, so ripped and did it again. I even made a zipper pull for it. I of course have you credit for the tutorial in instagram
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I want to make this quilt.
Have fun!
Thank you. I thought I was subscribed but I was not, now I am
Very nice tutorial. An option for the corner fix would be to box the two bottom corners and not have to unsew the lining to repair the corner. It would also create a little more room at bottom of the bag.
This bag is so cute! And we all make little mistakes, especially me!! Lol
If I started a Quilty-tube it would be called "Obsessed with Points". Something I've seen as to why the corner was cut off was, that the outer panels and the inner panels when sewed together do not exactly match one another. It's a good idea to pinch or pin thru the corner on one and see where it lands on the other, before cutting. I almost cut thru my point too!! (Only the bottom outer pair and inner pair do not match, the top corners match because they were all sewn together.)
Thanks for sharing!
Great video, very well explained and no babling, thank you
Great tutorial and a great bag for Christmas gifts. I'm glad you left the mistake because it really makes us concentrate when we trim. When we hear it from you to not trim to close and we see what happens when we trim to close, visual, with me at least, stays longer. Again thank you I have seen many how they sew the lining and the outside fabric. Yours is easier and it seems like it's a step less. Thank you so very much again have a wonderful day and I'm glad these videos stay on TH-cam
You are so welcome!
I just made 4 bags. 2 for me and 2 for my bestie who strong armed me into learning cross stitch last year. Zippers! What a pain! 1 bag I clipped the corner same as you 🤣. It took 2 tries to fix that darned corner. I’m quite proud of my 4 finished bags. Also, I love to cross stitch despite my reluctance to start. 😜 Thanks for the tutorial.
Great tutorial, thank you
Soooo, I am NOT a sewer any way way, shape for or fashion. I have tried multiple times, and always fail. And kinda (?) did today also. I dont know where I went wrong. But my pieces of fabric didnt line up, so I had to cut it down to be shorter. And somehow, someway, I did the zipper on the inside! ROFL! So now my inside is my outside. I have since sent your link to my daughter (the real sewer in the family) and have asked her to make it for me. I have resolved myself to not being able to sew! Lol
Great tutorial. Thanks. And especially thanks for doing it twice.
Loved this. Especially that you left the little wrong turns in. Makes it feel much more approachable for us beginners. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate you showing us your oops! It was very educational!
I have a stack of fabric I need to make into project bags so thank you for your impeccable timing!! 😂
Also, what is the purpose of interfacing in the bag?
You’re welcome!! The interfacing gives the bag its body and sturdiness. You can make it with just the cotton but it will be very floppy and won’t hold any kind of shape!
Hey thanks! Trying it right now 🤗🤗
I’m subscribing because you showed a mistake ..and how to fix !! THANKS I’m 72 yr old grandma & I still “make’em” !!
Elizabeth, I used your tutorial and my bag turned out perfect.
I am left-handed and I would put the zipper left to right like you because we read from left to right.
I know this is an old video but I wanted to comment and thank you for taking the time to make it. I made my first project bag yesterday and it turned out great. Thank You!
Yay! So glad to hear that!
I'm so glad I found you!!! I love your easy step by step process. I had to keep stopping and starting for each step, but both times my bags came out great. I already have supplies to made a few more! Thank you!!!
hi elizabethann - have watched a bazillion tutorials. i can sew handily and made not one! your tutorial makes so much more sense than others, and also makes me think i can actually complete one, before giving up. ty very much!
oh thats so good to hear! Happy sewing!
I love this tutorial. So much faster and easier than having to bind edges. Thank you ElizabethAnn!!
I just followed your tutorial and made the best bag. THANK YOU Liz.
Love your designs! Cute quilting with it 💗
Amazing! Thanks so much.
Thank you for sharing, Liz!
Thank you! This is fantastic.
I watched this a little late but I agree it's good to see that everything doesn't go perfectly with stitchers. love the fix and the bag!
Excellent!
Love this tutorial! You did a fabulous job!
