Good afternoon and happy Wednesday! I'm sorry people were rude to you about your Sew What overview video. I thought it was quite interesting and informative, and it's not like anyone forced them to watch it. The tote bag turned out quite nice, didn't it? Dandelion Stitches' box came with the red fabric rather than the pink, and while I do prefer the red, the pink isn't as frou-frou as I feared it would be. The bookmark is pretty as well. Tying the bag closed looks a little awkward; perhaps a magnetic snap would be a better choice. Still, the tie is functional and cute so no complaints. For all that the tote looks so small, it certainly holds a good-sized book! Or you could get a paperback, a PB & J, and maybe even a bag of chips in there. I could see taking this to the beach, the park, down to the pool if you're in a hotel (or are lucky enough to have a pool of your own), even to a doctor's office so you have something to read while waiting. 24:49 I literally gasped and said, "Oh, MYYYYYY!" The first tote is lovely, but this one blows it out of the water. The colors, the pattern, and do my eyes deceive me, or is that fabric textured?? And the brown works so perfectly with it; it almost has green undertones that come out when paired with the stripes. Really love how it and the reversed version turned out (I'm a *huge* fan of fraternal twin projects). Also great score on the floral; that was a lucky no-buy find for sure! And yes, done up in a "spoopy" print, this pattern would be a perfect trick-or-treat bag for little ones. ❤🖤💜🎃
I'm getting used to the negative comments, it comes with being on the internet. It's just so weird to comment that a video was too long when they were the one that chose to click on it. I only said something because I had just seen it, hidden on someone else's comment, and it annoyed me. I'm glad you like the bag and enjoy the alternative ones I made. I've had that fabric for around a year and was just waiting for the perfect project. It is slightly textured and a heavier weight drapery/upholstery fabric so it is a joy to work with. I thought about the ties too, but then I figure they work better than a snap in case you put in a larger book. I figure the ties will grow more supple as they are used. Glad to hear you think it'll work as a little bag. I get a lot of little kids on my street because there is a lovely loop they can take and be safe, there are about 70 houses they can go to without any crossing any major streets or back tracking. We see about 100 kids and more than half are under 8. They look so awkward holding out their giant trick or treat bags or their little plastic pumpkins.
Loved seeing how you made more bags with different fabrics in different sizes. Look wonderful!
Thank you! 😊 I can’t remember another project that I’ve immediately wanted to make again like this. I’m happy you enjoyed it
The one you made with the curtain fabric is so elegant!
Thank you 😊 I’m very happy with how they turned out.

Would you be willing to make a Harry Potter one, and put it in your Etsy shop? I love it
Of course. Email me and we can work something out
