Thank you so much for this tutorial it was great and so simple to sew. I look forward to watching more of your tutorials. I love the way you explain things and how you laugh:)
Such a quick and easy gift idea. It would also be great for holding small sewing notions. Thank you for another great tutorial. I'm off to my sewing room now to make some. 😊
I am about finished with crochet pencil scarves for my 5 granddaughters' teachers for Christmas. Will definitely make these cute fabric bags for their teachers at the end of school term. Thank you so much. Very good tutorial.
I am going to make these in a few different sizes for my grandchild's holiday gifts... after, they would be great in the nursery for different bits and supplies- thanks so much!!
OMG! You are such a wonderful sewing instructor! Excellent and clear directions! I will definitely make a few of these to fill with little goodies and give away for Christmas. Thank you so much for an awesome tutorial!!!❤️
Wow I just discovered your channel. I love it these are cute little adorable bags. You could make very quick for gifts all year round depending on the fabric Choice. Thank you for making this tutorial. I have subscribed and look forward to more tutorials to come.
Dominique Key stitch another row about 1” down, open up the seam between the top stitch and the new row, that’ll give you a channel to thread ribbon through
@@LizzyCurtis i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
Hi Lizzy what a great little project going to try this BUT could I put the lining on the outside leave a gap and turn inside out would that work as well
BraveHeart yes it would work. My way means it’s fully reversible because both sides are top stitched. It gives a clean edge to it. But you could use a ladder stitch to close the gap, which would be almost invisible so making it reversible x
I have created a pattern to keep necklaces, earrings, studs and rings all separate so the necklaces, especially, don’t tangle while travelling. Maybe I should put it on TH-cam! Hmmm, that’s where the challenge is! Sewing is easy!🤣
Jean Phillips it’s an extension table ... some machines have them as part of the machine, others you might have to buy one. If you search eBay for sewing machine extension tables there’s someone on there who makes them to order, UK.
LOVE!!! I actually do have 2 craft fairs coming up. Hoping to make several of these!! I'm wondering about making a "top" for the box....have you ever done that? I think I've found what I'll be doing this weekend!!
You said I could make two of these in an hour 🤣🤣 it takes me an hour to draw the pattern and cut them out! If only I could have the fabric pieces all cut to size, perfectly, I would be a really happy person. It’s a good job I’m not a hairdresser, everyone would finish up bald by the time I had finished 'straightening' up! Perhaps a video showing us an easy way to measure and cut properly? Soon, please!
Hi Lizzy. Just made one of these tonight. Everything was going well until the topstitching at the end. I used denim from old jeans on one side, quilting cotton on the other and some sew-in fleece. When I stitched around the top, the bobbin thread went all loosey goosey and looks horrible. Why does the tension suddenly change like that? Help!
I would imagine it’s the thickness of the denim, your machine may have struggled. You might have an adjustment facility on the foot pressure, that would help. Or hand stitch this one closed, but top stitch just over the 1/4” seam allowance so only 2 layers are stitched.
I just found your channel and made my first one! I love your patterns! How do I become a Gold member in the US? Much love from Pennsylvania United States ❤️
Holly hi Holly... oh I’m so pleased you like my stuff!!! If you pop over to my website you can find out more and then decide if you want to join. All patterns are pdf, and I try to accommodate letter size printing!! I do loads of Facebook live events making up every pattern. www.lizzycurtis.com xxx
I will be coming across very dumb but I generally are not a sewer. I have drawn out the pattern but now I can't figure out the measurement across on the fold.
Well the whole width is 8.5”, and the cut away pieces at the bottom is 2.25”, so double that you get 4.5, leaving the fold edge to edge of 4”.... if you start with drawing the top line you’ll be fine x
1/2 inch seams are so much easier. Also, on the top, leave 1/2 space without the batting(wadding) and then fold down the fabric over the wadding and iron down FIRST, also, fold and iron the lining first, THEN put them together and match seams. It's so much easier to then fold and top stitch, and no bulk in the seam.
Love the fabric that's behind your left shoulder... blue floral/white background
I love ur videos....too many terrific ideas
Nice idea! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Very cute. I’m thinking about adding some water proof iron on vinyl to the inside and put a plant in it!
Loved this tutorial. Excellent & easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much for sharing ❣️
Hi Lizzy, great little video, I’ll be making this little box in lots of different fabrics. Thank you for sharing. 🤗

Hi all my friend really love your kindess and video
Very nice.
Nice and easy to follow tutorial thank you for sharing 😊😊
Easy!! Thanks Ms. Lizzy!!
This little gift box looks like fun to make, what would be the best batting to use, I live in New Zealand.
Colleen Marsters I use a thin wadding/batting such as 80/20, soya or bamboo... a thicker wadding wouldn’t be so easy to sew... hope that helps
@@LizzyCurtis Thank you.
Super cute!
Hi
Nice idea, thanks...
great for a travel jewelry keeper.
I have created a pattern to keep necklaces, earrings, studs and rings all separate so the necklaces, especially, don’t tangle while travelling. Maybe I should put it on TH-cam! Hmmm, that’s where the challenge is! Sewing is easy!🤣
Son adorable todas sus presentaciones
Fantastic!
Love this. It would make great gifts for my quilting buddies. Do you have a pattern for the storage box in the background with the pocket? Thank you.
Linda Mattson hi Linda, that box pattern is on my website www.lizzycurtis.com xx
@@LizzyCurtis Thank you Lizzy.
Super....👍
I love the word wadding instead of batting!
First time here. I grew up with the word wadding, first time in ages that I heard it used. Born in South Africa, now live in Namibia.
What type of table is the one you just removed from the sewing machine?
Jean Phillips it’s an extension table ... some machines have them as part of the machine, others you might have to buy one. If you search eBay for sewing machine extension tables there’s someone on there who makes them to order, UK.
Thank you!
Is that an 8.5 x8 " piece of fabric with 2.5 cut out corners?
I’d have to watch the video back as this was a while ago. I haven’t kept this as a written pattern.
Thanks,that is ok. You have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you
😘

@@LizzyCurtis Thank you. I did buy the batting you recommended.
Where in the UK are you from, please? My sons father in law is British and from Bristol. He guessed you were from the London area.
Patty Ward Cambridge, that’s why I have no dialect, it’s a pretty basic clear English accent! Lol
👏👏🍀
Fun!
Make sure not to use directional fabric if you cut on the fold or one side will be upside down 😀
Correct!
1/2 inch seams are so much easier. Also, on the top, leave 1/2 space without the batting(wadding) and then fold down the fabric over the wadding and iron down FIRST, also, fold and iron the lining first, THEN put them together and match seams. It's so much easier to then fold and top stitch, and no bulk in the seam.
Livinnpjs great advice!
Something is beeping in the background.......
I've made something similar, but not this quick and easy.
