I've been making bags lately as I work though my scraps. Mostly smple tote bags with scrappy blocks for the outside. This will be fun making this bag with you. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Michelle! I'm looking forward to your next bag videos. I've made a few in the past, but haven't for a while, so I'm anxious to see what you've got there to show us.
Thanks Beth! It's been an adventure! Denise (next week's video) is miles ahead and makes some amazing stuff in some amazing materials. I learned a lot from our discussion.
I’ve made some wonderful bags over the years. My latest was a drawstring water bottle carrier bag made from recycled jeans, decorated with Sashiko embroidery with a zippered pocket for a phone and an alligator clip for one’s house key that slipped into another little pocket. I made it up as I went along and included everything I thought was important for that morning walk, even a safe space for a small amount of money or a card for a cup of coffee! I keen to look at that Mama Project and follow along with your bag sew along. Good one Michelle.
Hi Patricia - your bag sounds amazing! And I'd been keen for any tips you have from your experience. As you can see, I've at the very start of this stage, so still a real beginner with lots to learn. And a denim bag is a brilliant idea to help get the right weight (it doesn't always have to be all about the interfacing!!!). Thanks for watching.
Thank you for such an interesting and informative session. I will be waiting for the next two instalments. I would like to suggest you have a look at Lisa Chandler from Chandlers Cottage. She is also an awesome bag maker, quilter and fabric designer. She also has and sells bag hardware and interfacing. Check out her walkers bag. It has space for keys, phone and water bottle in a small cross body bag.
Hi Michelle. I need to make a largish pencil case or something similar to hold al my scrapbooking pens in one place. I'll check out your tutorial. I subscribe to Wandee Easy Sewing on RUclips. Another sewer that does not say a word but has very good instructions. I slow the speed down on her tutorials. I will check out the Mama Project though. I have made plenty of easy tote bags but I want to make myself a shopping bag with a zipper. My next challenge!
Look forward to sewing along with you. Love your videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much Jenny. It's a journey together and I'll be learning as I go on this bag-making effort! Thanks for watching.

Thanks Cynthia! I have some fabulous fabric for a tote bag... it will be one of my first projects once my shipment arrives in a few months.
Fun. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks Patsy - it's a fun new adventure for me.
I will be making along with you! Love sew alongs, thanks so much!
Thanks so much Pearl! I appreciate your support.
Our husbands are awesome, mine recently salvaged seatbelt webbing from a car parts salvage yard knowing it will be used.😊
Hi Debee. What a great score!! Well done hubby!

It's amazing fabric, isn't it - and very much Picasso.
Yes I love it
Have you seen the pattern of spools 🧵 the webbing you cut the lobster claw off of might make variegated thread for the spools 😂
Can you imagine!! 🤣😜
