This is so cool. I teach high school and we have a fashion club and our school always does a Kindness Month. Will pass this idea onto to them. I’ve also always wanted to do something like this for the homeless and foster teens. I can do this. Thanks for sharing
Ok I am going to try leaving this comment again for I don't know how many tries!😉 There is a program here that helps foster children and I have been told that they get a lot of things in for babies and younger children but not so much for the older ones. I have been given lots of different fabric to make bags for the older ones to use and I am a fairly new sewer so I could use an idea for a larger bag that I can do (I will be making quite a few ) and Have them still look nice. I am going to go through your videos but would love any suggestions from all! Chelsea you encourage all of us. You are a wonderful lady!!
@@laureenllacey6620 An idea for older kids are the easy backpack sling bags. They are very easy but bigger than a “kindness” bag. There are YT videos on how to make them.
Their quality is not inferior to those large luxury goods. The durability and attention to detail rivals the original designer bags and I can't believe how much I ?paired. It's the perfect accessory for any fashionable girl! I'm sure I'll repurchase some other styles and colors ? *gtdupe* to match my clothes and shoes
Hi Chelsea its Wendy from the Tweed Coast of Australia 👋 I make similar packs through my Cans 4 Care Cause to help people and support Share the Dignity for Women and Teens. I make pull cord/drawstring bags from donated fabric to place daily essentials in them. I include shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, body wash and period products. For men I do include a shaving kit 😉 optional items include face washer, hair accessories, jewellery and notebook with a pen ☺️ love your video 🤗💕🤗💕🤗
You are so sweet. ⭐️ Gold Star! Your community is very blessed to have you. We are blessed that you share your talents with us in such a fun and kind way. ❤
@@shesewsseams I agree! Every time I see a new video, I get excited! I know it's going to be something I like! This is the most wonderful idea. My daughter keeps bags in her car to give out to people standing on the corners, but she uses a Walmart bag. LOL! I'm gonna see if she will let me make some of these for her to use... I need an outlet for all my sewing! 🙂
I know wealthy women who carry replicas. The main reason they gave is that they just understand the value of money and don't want to spend too much money on bags... so more people choose fashionable *gtdupe* bags. However, they do spend a lot of money on fine jewelry and other things.
As a volunteer at a homeless drop in center, your gift is amazing! One thing to remember is that food absorbs odors and the food items could possibly end up tasting like soap. It’s best to package food items separately. Thanks for sharing, as donations like this mean the world to folks without homes.❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing about your mornings and tween hygiene. I also liked how you shared about changing your mood to a positive when all things are crazy. Thank you for all your videos sparking kindness! And "sewist" IS a word my teen uses to describe himself often!
I absolutely love this! What a great idea for a youth group or SS class to work on! It is more blessed to give than to receive. May the Lord bless you 😍
Love this idea. We have an organization here called Circle the City that supports the homeless community. This would be a great thing to gift that organization to hand out. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
Such a cute knidness bag! When you first started with a black drying mat, I thought oh no, no, however it turned out perfect with the little pop of turquoise. Have a happy day - Heidi 😄
Snack foods, especially protein. Bags like this would be great for children who are ripped from their homes and sent to a foster home. Most children do not get to take anything of their own with them. This bag would be their bag with their personal things in it. My son and his wife were foster parents for years. One older girl and one boy came with her/his own belongings because she came from a girl's home and he came from his home when his parents were arrested. It took a village to help them clothe and get supplies for every child. In the state they were in, they did not get paid much or often. They did it because they could not have their own children and both loved children and wanted a family. I know there is a program that gives blankets to a child when he/she enters foster care in some states. This is a good idea to implement also. It is good for the child and helps the foster parents.
I made about 50 zipper pouches (flat) and donated them along with the same amount of beanies to two local charities that help the homeless. They were going to fill them with other donated, most needed items!
Great idea! Sewing for a purpose,-gives us a purpose. Thanks for this idea cuz I wouldn't always have the money to fill the bags. But I have tons of fabric sitting atound!😊
You know something you are simply amazing, thinking of others in need when you've had a hard morning! I sure love you and your enthusiasm to make a hard or difficult morning into an amazing day after all! You're the best!!❤❤❤❤
Omg. I remember days like that. My son would wear the same pair of underwear for days! Now he is 33 and has two boys of his own. Pay back times two. Love watching it all. Chelsea, Enjoy it all . They grow up too fast.
I am very happy with *gtdupe* 's bag, arrived on time and exceeded my expectations! Need a stylish little backpack to go to theme parks with my kids. I'm not a backpack person and usually carry a purse with me, but I wanted something that was easier to carry and less carried over the shoulder. I bought the smaller size, but it holds 2 water bottles, snacks, a couple of light sweaters, and a bunch of other small things. I like that the opening is in the back, great for travel.
Love your attitude and beautiful personality, what a wonderful idea. You have put a smile on my face and hope in my heart for the future. Bless you Chelsea 💜💜
I love to watch your videos, but I think this one is my very favorite. I love it when people use their gifts and talents to bless others. Thank you for the wonderful idea and for your kind heart.
Wonderful! One suggestion would be to put that soap that's in the box into a Ziploc. The amount of perfume that is used in body products will taint the food and the bag. You are so kind!
My grandkids and I did that last year, but we used large thermos type mugs and packed them full of stuff. Every time we saw someone sitting at the corner needing help, we would give them a ‘blessing in a jug.’ The GK’s enjoyed it so much. I like the idea of the bag may do that this year.
I'm sorry that you had an awful morning. But boy, you sure did make my day with this tutorial. So many people are in need....my mind is swirling! Thank you for being you Chelsea, you've given me confidence and so much laughter 😊
I agree about not carrying backpack when i am travelling and am in crowds etc. I will use it on the plane as carry on however. My most recent trip i brought my backpack, nylon tote and Senreve Aria from *gtdupe* . Nylon tote was used during the day for sightseeing and easily fit everything i needed. Evenings or when i didn't want to lug too much I used the Aria. It can be worn as belt bag, sling or clutch. I have chain strap to swap in if i need fancy look too.
❤❤❤ I’ve been filling similar Kindness Bags using 2 gallon zip bags from Dollar Tree for years. I pack a lot of the same stuff you do and I also include a few pieces of Chocolate (like Hershey Kisses or Lindt Truffles) bc chocolate usually makes everyone happy 😊
I see so many zip pouch tutorials where they just lift the presser foot and easily move the zip pull out of the way -- it's NEVER easy for me! I struggle to get it to move past the needle in my machine, I mean really struggle, it just does not want to move past that spot whether I start with it open a little, half way or all the way! Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or maybe it's just my machine. Thanks for another great video!
Just sew it half way, cut your thread, move the zipper head out of the way, reposition everything & sink the needle a couple of stitches from where you stopped & continue sewing, hope this helps
What a great idea. There is a kit if people who could use a bag like this filled with all sorts of goodies. Schools and shelters would be in need of items like this. If your a church person you could pass it onto the Father of the church, he'd know lots of people who'd benefit from this. Great idea thanks for demonstrating & sharing a nifty idea
I used to knit and crochet (stupid carpal tunnel stopped me) hats and make up bags with gloves, socks, crosswords, coloring books, crayons, pens, depending if for a child or an adult, and donate to the Carti cancer treatment facility in town. Kindness bags are a great idea. ❤❤
Thank you for telling us what your morning was like, and then showing that mind over matter is really a 'thing'. I like the idea of sharing with someone with less. Blessings to you
You are so sweet. This is the time for remembering others always. Love the little bag. Your instructions are so great. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and remember God loves us all. 🇱🇷🥰🍂
Chelsea, I want to encourage you and remind you that you are beautiful and enough; even on the sucky days. I love your tutorials for all the practical items. I took my machine back out this year (after many years of it sitting stored) because of you! Everyone is getting personalized zipper pouches as gifts under the tree this year. It’s been fun to pick out unique material for all my peeps. Thank you for all of it 💕.
Chelsea you are so creative and I always learn something new when I watch you sew.. as simple ( but frustrating) evening out the zipper and getting rid of that little stinking bubble!! I was laughing with you with tweens hygiene.. sometimes the best lesson for them is for a peer to say something to them. Or if they all of a sudden start cleaning up without daily reminders, suspect that they have a tiny crush on someone!!! 😂😂
This is great. This would be great in a draw string bag as well. You are a blessing, and I am so glad that I found your channel. As for your children. This too shall pass😂😂😂
What a great idea, I usually go to a drive through and get them some food, if they have a dog I run to the nearest dollar tree and pick up some stuff for him too. Being out in this world they need something to help them stay safe
For my first paycheck, I didn't make any impulse purchases. Instead, I picked up a great bag from *gtdupe* that has stayed with me for many years. This is a sign of growth and a triumph of reason.
Chelsea, I love this idea. I live in Arizona and even though everyone thinks it’s hot here all the time, it does get cold in the winter. My husband used to travel pre-Covid and would always bring home the hotel size shampoo, conditioner and soaps. I have oodles of them. I’m going to make up some kindness bags as we often see people on the corners who are in need. I definitely want to have some of these in my car for those occasions. I think I may add a $5-$10 gift card for a fast food restaurant in the area! Thank you for such a wonderful idea! I always love your ideas!!❤
These bags would be wonderful to make for nursing home residents, too. Christmas time is especially hard on the ones who don't have family close enough to visit & a Goodie Bag filled with treats, stationary, lotions, etc. would definitely brighten the holidays for them.
You are truly an AMAZING human being Chelsea, how BEAUTIFUL our world would be if it was filled with people like you!!🫶 what a FABULOUS GENEROUS idea and loved that you turned your day around too, you’ve certainly made mine today. Loved this video so much🙌🫶🙌🫶 Thankyou 🥰
I worked at a hugh drug store, when we would do a reset or when manufacturers would change something on packaging, things would go on clearance. I would buy things and save them up. Then donate to Meals On Wheels. I love the pouch idea!🥰🥰🥰
For those of you thinking about school kids. Our schools have gone into "see through", especially back packs, because of violence so they can see what is in the backpacks. The moms of course hate the idea on behalf of their daughters for those personal items for those times of the month. Obviously not an issue if you are giving these out to strangers not in school. But for those talking about ziplocs those are perfect for those schools that want the see through look for safety.
You are such a great example to me. Instead of going back to bed and throwing the covers over your head, you create something and do a kindness for someone in need. I’m going to try making one of these bags next time I’m tempted to sulk!
I leave my zipper foot on through the whole process. Obviously, I've been doing this for a while. I always had food stuff in my car when I had one. 🥰🥰🥰
You’re such a good hearted person, Chelsea. Our church puts bags together that we can take to keeping the car to hand out to people on the corners. It’s a good feeling when you can do that.
Hi Chelsea, what a thoughtful idea. You are the sweetest person. To the children, keep telling yourself that this too shall pass. Everyone of my kids went through the not cleaning themselves, until I made them. Hugs
I love you!!! I want to be your bestie!!! Your spirit is so wonderful! God bless you and please never let this world break your happiness or spirit!! I am a sewist and I love your videos!!!
You are such a sweet inspiration in so many ways! Just choosing to turn the day around after a hard start, and choosing to give away kindness bags. Brilliant idea and something we could all do. Thank you 🤩
You’re so sweet and thoughtful! I love this idea so much and am totally going to do this! I saw someone else add the cute hats and gloves and hand warmers as well! Prayers that the rest of your week goes much more smoothly, but I do love your attitude! You’re an inspiration! And a water bottle.
This is such a great idea. If you did multiples, you could buy the large pks of goodies at WalMart, Sam’s, etc. Having a “sisters” weekend…we have a project!
What a fantastic idea. I’m from the UK and the state our country is in at the moment these would be great. I’m going to see about putting it out there in our sewing community and say that it was you that suggested this great idea. Let’s make the people have hope and faith in humans again and help them and tell them they are not alone. Thank you your an amazing person xx
What an awesome role model for kindness you are for your children! When they are grown, they will tell you all the wonderful things you did/showed them!
Great gifts thanks for sharing can't wait to pass it forward GOD bless you!!!
Your amazing. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
This is a great idea and don’t forget the schools you’d be amazed at how many students don’t have these basic necessities provided at home.
Great point!
My husband teaches high school, and this is very true. We have been able out students over the years with their needs, most of the time anonymously.
Hey! A very wonderful idea. Remember to add a wash cloth/rag and ear bud thingies, (for cleaning the ears), in the bag. ❤❤❤😂😂😂
@@judyblackmancallender3663 Or a small container of wipes!
This is so cool. I teach high school and we have a fashion club and our school always does a Kindness Month. Will pass this idea onto to them. I’ve also always wanted to do something like this for the homeless and foster teens. I can do this. Thanks for sharing

Or make it its own little bag 😉🥰
Make the bag from a wash cloth!!
I'm so sorry that you had a bad morning, but I love how you turned it around! You are funny and sweet. :)
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you're teaching this bag as a gift to less fortunate. You had a bad morning, but turned your energy into love and compassion. Thank you!
Yes, doing something for someone else always makes us feel better. Remember that every day is a gift!!
My grandkids and I did that last year, but we used large thermos type mugs and packed them full of stuff. Every time we saw someone sitting at the corner needing help, we would give them a ‘blessing in a jug.’
The GK’s enjoyed it so much. I like the idea of the bag may do that this year.

Sometimes it's just one thing after another! But Chelsea you keep going strong with kindness bags. Love your videos.
I agree about not carrying backpack when i am travelling and am in crowds etc. I will use it on the plane as carry on however. My most recent trip i brought my backpack, nylon tote and Senreve Aria from *gtdupe* . Nylon tote was used during the day for sightseeing and easily fit everything i needed. Evenings or when i didn't want to lug too much I used the Aria. It can be worn as belt bag, sling or clutch. I have chain strap to swap in if i need fancy look too.
❤❤❤ I’ve been filling similar Kindness Bags using 2 gallon zip bags from Dollar Tree for years. I pack a lot of the same stuff you do and I also include a few pieces of Chocolate (like Hershey Kisses or Lindt Truffles) bc chocolate usually makes everyone happy 😊

I think this is a wonderful thing to do, and it certainly can give someone a lot of self esteem, for sure. Bless you sweet lady
I love this. ❤
You are such a sweet inspiration in so many ways! Just choosing to turn the day around after a hard start, and choosing to give away kindness bags. Brilliant idea and something we could all do. Thank you 🤩
❤Thank you for being a light in the world.❤
You are the nicest person spreading your love and talent everywhere. Love

Thank you so much! That means a lot! 😊
Yowza! That is quite the disastrous sounding morning. Good for taking on the challenge to make it turn around for the better. Thank you!
OMG... this is such a wonderful project. What a wonderful way to give back. You my dear are generating some wonderful karma.
You’re so sweet and thoughtful! I love this idea so much and am totally going to do this! I saw someone else add the cute hats and gloves and hand warmers as well!
Prayers that the rest of your week goes much more smoothly, but I do love your attitude! You’re an inspiration! And a water bottle.
God bless you !!! You were a bright spot to my day today !!
This is such a great idea. If you did multiples, you could buy the large pks of goodies at WalMart, Sam’s, etc. Having a “sisters” weekend…we have a project!
What a fantastic idea. I’m from the UK and the state our country is in at the moment these would be great. I’m going to see about putting it out there in our sewing community and say that it was you that suggested this great idea. Let’s make the people have hope and faith in humans again and help them and tell them they are not alone. Thank you your an amazing person xx
😊good for you. Great idea! God bless
What an awesome role model for kindness you are for your children! When they are grown, they will tell you all the wonderful things you did/showed them!
What an awesome idea. We have a guy at church that helps the homeless… A must do!!!!!
Amazing!! Such a great idea.
Thanks for the wonderful idea ❤
Love that you turned your “Monday” around to bless someone else!
I get ao excited when i see you've posted another video! Thank you for your kind energy!!
I’m happy to share my love of sewing with you! 💖
