      I said the same thing last week! I have been so down but Chelsea is always so very happy. I just love listening to her and her laugh. It seems to be so contagious! Thank you so much Chelsea for being such an inspiration and this week I have tried, very hard to feel better and you have helped to make that happen! Love you always!!!❤

      I love your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your creative talent. I just went to Dollar Tree and purchased some, okay, a lot of those drying mats. I plan on making some of these bags for some friends and family. This is a good way to use up some of those fat quarters that I have gotten in subscription boxes. Thanks again.

    This bag is fabulous!! Thanks for the tutorial. One word of caution: I know you said “water soluble pen”, and you’re right, those are perfect. I strongly recommend not using Frixion pens, because although the lines seem to disappear with ironing, the chemicals never go away, and if your project gets cold, those lines will reappear! Even Frixion (Pentel?) do not recommend their pens for [the pretty side of] fabric!

    The bag is so cute. If a thin strip of the lining fabric color was between the shiny rose and the Toucans it might enhance the parrots and make them pop as well. A natural teacher. I hope you are one.
    Oh, and you must have such a happy cheerful home. You are a delight. I hope your family realizes how fortunate they are, especially you spouse.

    Hi Chelsea, I made my first color blocked tote bag with the 12 x 18 dish drying mat. Instead of the car organizer, I used a pencil pouch and added a divided pocket in the lining. Also added lots of inside pockets with a drop in lining. I am very happy with how it turned out!

    Chelsea, I've been sewing since I was a little girl with my grandmother. When I was pregnant, I made all my maternity clothes, and then all of my children's clothes as well. I loved adding piping, and making smocked outfits. I also continued to make my clothes as well. I have memories of using Vogue patterns! Then my health took a nasty turn 15 years ago, and I had to stop.
    Ironically, I found your channel at the same time I found an amazing holistic physical therapist who is helping me have more good days. YAY!! Tomorrow, I'm going to sew some simple elastic waist skirts for my granddaughter (I have such darling fabrics) who we are traveling to see next week! You have inspired me and brought back my excitement for sewing again. Thank you so much for your contagious enthusiasm!🥰❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹

I usually leave it between the handles on one side. I can't wait to go to Dollar Tree and find some drying mats to make some bags out of them.
