I have watched this over and over. You -- Jenny Doan -- are the reason I am where I am today. I have a successful Etsy shop - of which 75% of the fabrics used for my items come from M*. I had a big, gaping whole in my soul at the time I first saw your first vid, and when I heard the sound of my machine (you were using in that vid), combined with your gentle voice, I allowed you to walk right into my life, and you've been there ever since. I hope someday we can meet in person. Nancy.
I'd love to see your Etsy shop - do you mind sharing a link?
Jenny- I just love your tutorials. You have such a sweet spirit it makes watching them fun. I also learn something in the process.
Ran across this video,thanks for reminding me that i have a couple of charm packs. Now i know what to do with them. Good seeing you again,i use to quilt but don't anymore. I like small project now. I am 84 and a little slow.
Jenny...thank you so much for valadating the way i sew!!! You make me smile everytime you say... just eyeball it!!! And i LOVE your high speed machine... Oh,, and thanks for showing how much easier it it to just "scootch over"without breaking thread when quilting the body of the bag.. I feel so much better now.. i'm not alone!!!! Love you Jenny!!!

Awesome technique!! I had a "sewing school" at my house this week for my granddaughter and two nieces. They learned all about sewing machines and each made an adorable tote bag using this video as our instruction. Jenny, the girls, ages 9 & 11, were amazed at how wonderful their bags are as we'll as how fast you sew! We all agreed that you are brilliant!
I just LOVE watching Jenny!!! It is so easy to learn new things to sew. I watch the tutorials as I go... I just love this woman!!!!! Thank you for everything you have taught me.
Jenny, I want to thank you for taking the time to make all your videos. Unfortunately I have lung cancer and am no longer able to work, but I stumbled across your videos last month and bought a Singer 'Heavy Duty 4423' on eBay. I put my first lap quilt top together yesterday. I used the 'fence rail' pattern. I'm going to make these little lap quilts for everyone in my family using different patterns you teach.. Thank you!!!
Hi there. I love your lessons. I've made a pin wheel quilt, and several bags. I took the charm pack bag and made a duffle bag with it. I also made several pillow cases. Thank you so much for taking your time to show everyone like me how to make awesome stuff. I've been taught by my family to s. They are verbal teachers. I learn by watching. Again thank you so much.
This is such a great idea Jenny. Instead of using charm packs, since I always have leftover fabric from making a baby quilt, I cut into squares and make a matching bag to use as the gift bag. Thanks for the pattern.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing!!❤💕
That really is a terrific idea!!
This is my most recent favorite (it does change when I discover a new one!). I made one of these bags for my mom and she never leaves home without it! Working on a new one this weekend! Thank you, MSQC!
Jenny I just finished one of the totes but made it a bit smaller with 8 charms as it is for my granddaughter and also made her one of the charm pack skirts to match for her birthday. She will be so excited I hope!!! You are a wonderful teacher and I love your videos. I would love to see some for placemats. I have 2 more granddaughters that have birthdays in April and May and all the girls are sisters so they will all be matching by the time I am done. Thanks so Much for all your time for us.
Thanks, Jenny, I made a fun tote using eighteen squares instead of twelve. And I shortened the handles. It turned out so cute. What a great way to use charm squares!
Thank you so much for all your tutorials. Made this tote a little shorter with coordinating dinosaur fabric for my granddaughter to store all her toy dinosaurs. Absolutely love it!
I finally made this. I made 3 rows of 4. Added two pockets inside. It was a great learning experience. I will make more and they’ll come out with better handles than this first time. Thanks for the tutorial.
I made my granddaughter a birthday dress, then made her a matching tote bag, and put her presents in it. Like a gift bag. Was the hit of the party. Of course everyone wants one now. Thanks Jenny You made grandma look good.
Yeah I have made a bag using your video. Your instructions are very clear. I cut my squares from the bottom of my curtains that I had shortened and found some matching material. This is a first in quilting for me. Thanks again
Thank you for this video. I am not into quilting, but you make me want to quilt. I really enjoy the way you teach
I made some bags for gifts and left the opening to turn at the top. Than it was sewn as I did stitched around the top. It seemed to save a step. The bags Jenny made are beautiful! Thank you for the awesome videos.
That's a good idea plus it would be a great place to add a fabric loop to close over a button on the other side of the bag!
Once again Jennie has done it. I can't wait to start this project. She makes u feel as if u can do anything. Way to go, Jennie!
Thank you so much. I just finished my new bag. Your are the best teacher. I have never ever sew on sewing machine. This is my first "master piece" and I am so happy that I am going to sew something again.
I love watching her videos. This is my “go to” to follow along when I put the linings in my bags. She really does a great job with her step by step instruction. I just love her!
You are such an awesome teacher and always so much fun to watch! I can't wait to make this bag. It's so pretty.
I made 3 totes, 4 rows across and 4 rows down. I made them for a raffle this month. I used my embroidery hoop to stipple a really nice design across the bag, it went real quick. I loved making these bags! Just finished the 3rd one today. I'm in the middle of making the jelly roll bag right now. I'm using it to practice FMQ for the first time. It's hilarious, but I'm keeping this one bag for myself! I love Missouri Quilts!! wooo hoooo
I cannot wait to make these: We have rented a house on Lake Michigan for a week in August, and all the kids and grandkids will be there. I'm going to make all the girls and little ones a tote bag to put their beach goodies into. Since the bags are washable, what better to use for magazines, snacks, sand shovels and of course all the found shells. You are amazing!
I have just made one of these and for a first attempt as a real newcomer to quilting it came out great, Thank you Jenny i am all the way over in the UK but i stumbled across your videos and you make it so easy to do things i cannot thank you enough
Welcome to the Missouri Star family, Gill! Glad we could help!
Love this and all your tutorials!!!! I watch so many that when my hubby hears your opening music, he knows where to quack!!!
My Husband also. I even caught him humming the tune! Next step. Cutting fabric??
:)
I recorded heartburn (original song) today can you watch it and reply to me now?😁
Jenny once again you come up with these wonderful ideas yes I agree you are a star in Missouri Quilt co now my retired husband has gone out to buy a sewing machine so the two of us will be sewing hihi
I LOVE that Ginny is always clear with her instructions, shows exactly how to do something and we can ALWAYS hear her. So many novice "How to" videos do not increase the volume of their voice, nor do they block out background noise. I turn those people off immediately and go straight to Ginny at The Missouri Star Quilt Company. She should always be your first stop when looking for quilting help! Thank you!!!
worth watching a 2nd time! Makes me want to get out of bed & go to my sewing room!
Love it!!!
I recorded heartburn (original song) today can you watch it and reply to me now?
Loved this so I made some. As for the leftover 6 charms I just used 2 per tote to make pockets on the lining. I sewed one onto each side. For me I needed one for my cell phone and the other for my glasses. I also added buttons for extra security to where the straps meet the bag. For the pockets I ironed in the raw edges and topped stitched all around and then I used a zigzag to attach. Worked out well and like Jenny always says "I don't like to waste" :D What a great easy project. Thanks Jenny as always!

Thanks for telling how you did the pockets, I was wondering about the raw edges. I love pockets!
Made this tote for myself. Customer from Post Office bought two more from me. The tut was so helpful and easy to follow,and they will last a long, long time.
I have made 3 of the one shown and 2 more but I made them larger. My daughter loves hers!!! I am new at sewing and they turned out so professional looking! thanks for the easy to ollow directions.
Love this bag demo. I am on my second tote bag and want to thank you so much for the very clear directions!!
Hey Jenny!! I just started quilting in April and I just made this bag!! I about cried when I was finished because I was so proud of myself!! Thanks for your awesome tutorials!! I keep shoving all my finished projects in my boyfriends face asking "isnt it cool"?? His usual response is "yeah awesome" as he continues with video games, lol. This one he said "wow you made that"?? I was over the moon!! Thanks again Jen!!
Oh that's awesome! We love a good "wow, you made that?!", too. We're proud of you, Maggie! Keep going!
Hi Jenny, following your instructions , which are so easy to understand, have made a lovely Tote bag out of squares of fabric I had left over from various projects. I have also followed your tutorials for quilting, again, easy to follow instructions, so thanks and here's to following some more of your tutorials. Diane .
I made one of these for my granddaughter for her 20th birthday and she loved it. I just finished two more for my sister and niece. I thought it would be too hard for me but you made it so easy with your instructions, so thank you.
Really enjoy watching as you instruct. A lot of videos I watch, I become bored, and they lose my attention. But you never lose my attention. Thanks for the hard work you put in these videos. But I also see that you enjoy doing them....... Again, thanks.

You make everything look fun and not hard. You are so cheerful and upbeat. Don't worry, if make a mistake, can fix or use for something else. I want to run to my fab collection and pick what I am going to use. Mahalo, Jenny
I made one for my daughter. Thank you for this tutorial💕
I have made these for my nieces for years and they have requested another one this year for Christmas, thanks for sharing!
May this week bring you open doors in your life endeavours and lead you to greater success. Wishing you a special week ahead.
I am in the process of making a blue jean purse. Your demonstration of handel construction completely changed my plan for my handel. Thank you very much for your idea of a stronger handel. Love your videos.
I've watched several videos for totes on RUclips, but this one is the best! Besides, you're my favorite to watch hehehe!!
This is one of the best videos I've seen to learn, thank you so much!!
Hello Ms. Jenny. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials. Its a good thing I don't live in your town if not I would be in your store everyday and I would be broke. I love how you teach.You take the mystery out of quilting and you make quilting easy to understand. Can't wait for your next tutorial. God Bless you and your family. Your the best :)
Love this tutorial I have made several of these and each time everyone loves them and I end up selling them or giving them away,. Today I am making a red and black one and this one I am keeping for myself. I get so inspired when I watch your tutorials. Thanks so much for the tips.
Jenny many thanks for showing how to do this tote bag. Thanks for sharing.
Radha, Bangalore ,INDIA.
I love your tutorials and they have taught me so much more about how to quilt. Thank you Jenny for taking the time to make these tutorials and to teach all of us. I am in the process of making one of these bags but in a much larger size. I just hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew. lol
How did your bags turn out?? :) We would love to see pictures!
Missouri Star Quilt Company My bag turned out rather larger then I anticipated, but I am still quite please with it. I am not sure how to send a picture of it.
Patti Stelzer how to make
Thanks!! Mom really is the best!! Thank you for the kind note!!
I just wanted to say thank you. My 10 year old daughter and I are learning to sew together and your quilted handbag tutorial is the inspiration and guide for her first big sewing project. She decided she wanted stripes instead of squares but the basic plan is the same.
Thank you for such an easy to follow tutorial,
Rodney
Thank you Jenny you explain things so well especially with the zip which can be tricky
Awesome! I've just made myself a bag in one afternoon - thank you, Jenny for making these things easy :)
Great tutorial!! I just finished my first tote with the charm pack I got from MSQC and it looks great( if I do say so myself). Please keep the videos coming. Thanks
Trying to find tutorial form form window panel.
Hi Jenny, I wanted to make my grand daughter a quick tote for her birthday tomorrow. I watched your tutorial and made the tote with The Mandolorian fabric. It came out FANTASTIC!!! I know she's going to love it. No one else will have one!!! Thank you for the great tutorial.
Jenny, I love this project, and you are the best teacher. Thank you for your talents..
the magnetic catches I get from Joann's you add on last. you just make some tiny slits in the fabric and fold some tabs back so don't worry you can easily add these on later
Just made one without the batting as I didnt have enough but it still turned out great - I also made it reversible using the charm pack to make the liner - sending it to my mother-in-law as a little 'thinking of you' gift!
Aren't you sweet!

i'm just starting to quilt so a friend suggested your videos. Wow! i have another grandbaby due in January (#6) so i am going to do a quilt with a charm pack and now i think i may try making a matching diaper bag with a 2nd charm pack. Thank you Jenny!!
I watched the tutorial yesterday and just finished my second tote. I've had the house to myself this weekend so there were no interruptions. The first I made with charms, the second I got brave and strip pieced funky black and white jelly roll and I made it much larger. It got a little wonky as I pieced but in the end it is so busy that it isn't noticeable as those parts ended up in the seam.I I love your tutorials, you explain everything so well. Next will be one for the granddaughter!
Thank you so much for showing me how to do this!
What fabric would you use to make these?? :)
+Missouri Star Quilt Company Fiji Batiks Charm Pack would make really pretty totes. www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/38375/moda-fabrics/moda-fabrics/fiji-batiks-charm-pack-
I've made several of these and they all turned out so cute. Thanks for this tutuorial. I added stabilizer to my lining fabric and a pocket. I haven't learned to do the magnetic snaps yet, but would love to know how to put them in these bags.
+AngelEntertainment1 Sounds like it turned out great! If you try the magnetic snaps, we'd love to know how it goes! :)

i just love watching you jenny. you are the most fun teacher. and i have been wanting to do a bag with gunny sack material and this will be just perfect for that. thanks for all your tutorials.
Jenny, That is darling and simple enough for anyone to do. You can make them look just like the ones that sell for quite a bit of money! Thank you for your instructions, I love your video's! You are my favorite quilting instructor on you tube! :)
The quilt in the background is amazing! I would love to see a tutorial on that, or at least a link to it.
I love watching all these tutorials!
Hi Katrina. Did you ever find a tutorial or pattern for the quilt that is in the background? I'd love to make one of those, too! Liz from northern Illinois.
Totally loved it
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. I made a large library tote bag today using this video. Very fun! Thank you!
I've been sewing a long time but never felt the need to quilt until I saw the Missouri Star tutorials, pretty much by chance. It always seemed like hard work but in the last week I have made a quilt top, a Dresden plate cushion cover (and I am making another as a rug) and one of these very cute totes. I can't believe how easy things go together. It took me a little while to get used to not backstitching every seam and tying off ends but how liberating is that! Your efforts are very much appreciated - I'm sure if I paid for a course to learn all this in the UK it would cost a small fortune. Thank you so much
Is there a tutorial on putting a pocket on the inside. I don't want to screw it up.
I recorded heartburn (original song) today can you watch it and reply to me now
I think someone should do a tutorial on how to make a duffel bag with a zipper =]
Hi Jenny :) I just completed my first to this tutorial! I used a very colorful 2 1/2" charm pack I had on hand to give it more color pop and sewed them up to meet dimensions. I added an inside pocket as well with a velcro closure and made just one wide strap that's shorter so it;s just over my shoulder and higher up on my hip.. Well, I LOVE how it turned out!! , so colorful and eye catching! :) I will be making more as gifts for sure with some other twists and turns just to see how different they can look. Thank you so much for the dedication of time you give to your tutorials with so much helpful information. You are the BEST!! :)
Thank you Jenny love watching your tutorials xx
what machine is that? It really rocks and rolls!
I now use a Tempo Baby Lock and it's very speedy!! :)
Hi LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS will be making some of these bags. I have the Tempo Baby Lock and love it. Thanks for your had work
Jen, you are the greatest. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. My quilting friends and I love your lessens. Pat in Ohio
Never get tired of watching all of your videos...a big thank you for being so clear with your instructions...👍🏼❤️🇨🇦
I've probably made six or seven of these. I choose my charm packs based on how much I love them and what large denim pants with a complementary color that I can find at a thrift store. I use the denim for the bottom, lining & straps. Makes it way sturdier & I always put in an inner pocket. I make these for gifts. I made one for my sis to hold her laptop with double padding & a cute charm pack that would go with anything. I added charm squares just like Jenny said to make it big enough.😊
Thank Godddd!!!! I found you! After watching 458,393 videos on the perfect quilt bag. ughhh....you're a lifesaver!! I have my great grandmother's baby quilt that is over 126 years old....and I've been a nervous wreck but now....NOW all the girls in my family will have a very special bag ;) Bless YOu!!!!
I finally had time to make one of these totes! I made a tote for my Mother-inlaw one for Christmas. She likes to carry a small thermos of coffe and a small coffee cup with her every where she goes, so I did mine 3 wide by 3 high. It worked PERFECT!!! Thank you Jennie for being such a great teacher!!!
Quick and easy, and a great way to get my charm pack stash down so that I can buy more!!!
Hahahaaaa!! Too true!!!
Thank you so very much for all of the Missouri Star Quilt tutorials, especially these adorable totes. I made two this afternoon. Your video made it so very easy and so much fun. Jenny, you always display your joy of sharing. Thank you again.
Jenny, I an a student of yours on Craftsy and love your lessons on there! This video on You tube is the best.. i watched it once and got up to the handles part then had to watched the last few steps. Now, I have the perfect spring tote! I am going to make a winter style one today! I have been trying to make tote bags for years One afternoon with you and now I have succeeded! Thank You so much! Xmas gift bags for 2013!
Oh Jenny, you are just the best!! I love ur tutorials. I made this bag for a 11-14 y/o girl in the operation Christmas child campaign done every year by Samaritan's Purse. I put all her goodies, to include a small sewing kit and some brightly-colored, printed fat quarters, then I put everything into her box to go overseas. I'm so excited that I was able to make this purse so that she could keep all her things together. You made it so simple even I could do it. I'm brand new to sewing/quilting and I could follow ur instructions with ease. If I could now just figure out how to post a picture to show the finished product I'd amaze myself yet again. Keep these wonderful, simple projects coming. You're the bomb!!!!!!!
I love this and I will make some and can not wait. Right now I am finishing some curtains for my quilt room. Thanks and I will be enjoying these bags. Keep up the awesome instructions and you are so easy to understand and follow. Great Teacher...
Thank you debzbenz! We hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation and that the kids and grand kids enjoy their tote bag!
I had my 2 yr old granddaughter request a pocket book . I down sized the squares to 4 in and made the center piece to 5 inches. it turned out so cute. I enjoy your tutorials. Thank you.
Nice and easy, love the color fabrics...... a nice sturdy bag. ❤️🌹❤️🌹
I have made several of these bags and just love the pattern. Thanks Jenny for this wonderful and quick gift.
Thank you.

Just finished making Bed-sized quilts and throws for Loma Linda Children's Cancer Center. I made these bags to match the Lorax jelly roll in the charm squares for the bag. Used your falling charm quilt pattern with the multi colored solid squares and then the Lorax jelly roll. I must say that I am very pleased and can't wait to mail. 132 blocks for the quilt and 20 on both sides of the large bag plus a panel at the top. I also made two smaller ones in Happy frog fabric. Including a Bible.
I just made a tote bag using 9 charms on each side, I LOVE IT. I love the pattern and the way it goes together. Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I have the first Bookazine with the pattern but the video tutorial really does it for me, thanks again.
Janet Jaeger
Finally I made two of them, the second one had a pocket on the inside and a bow on the outside to close it. And I'll made another tote, bigger. Great tutorial, thank you Jenny!
Love this bag tutorial😊😊 I followed along and now made 4 for gifts for teen granddaughter
Just finished the easiest Christmas table topper for my mother for Christmas. Made it out of beautiful flower fabrics backed by Texas wild flower fabric. Now ready to make the bag. Thank you for sharing. Also, plan to make the tree table runner. I keep buying your rulers. Love everything you do!!!
I made my first quilted tote bag using this video...I used valentine charm pack and it turned out very nice!
Thank you so much for this video!
Great Job.Excellent purse size,love the color choice.Your truly magnificient to watch.Your a great teacher..Many thanks.Love them.
I LOVE these bags. They are very durable and hold a lot of stuff!!
Loved these little totes......would make a great gift too!!!!! Thank you Jenny you're the best.
You are mesmerizing to watch. You make it all look so easy.
I love this tutorial and all the others. You instructions are clear and you connect with your viewers.
Thanks for all you do.
I have made five of these since I saw this tutorial! Thanks Jenny - you are a great teacher.
Hi Jenny, I love your tutorials. I've recently made the 3 totes from one charm pack. Made two with 12 and 1 with 18, to make a deeper bag rather than a wider one. Hugely successful. Thank you so much. Your shortcuts and much easier methods of doing things have made quilting so much more accessible and enjoyable for me.
YOU. ARE. SEW. AMAZING.
You are a blessing...sharing your gift and talent with the world!!!
Just made one out of flannel scraps form my stash. It turned out very cute! Thanks you always have great tutorials.
Jenny - absolutely loved this! Watched it on Friday evening and by Sunday tea time had my first (of many!) tote bags. Would have been quicker but real life kept intervening! Would have used batting in the handle but it put up too much of a fight when I was trying to cut it! Oh, and just a tip for anyone reading this - always make sure that your turning hole is big enough - it's a real tussle to turn it through if it's not!!! Thank you for yet another wonderful project! Sarah
This was a great tutorial. I made one for my laptop. It took 20 charms total but it's a perfect size. Thanks for posting this tutorial!
