HI Vanessa, this was a great, fun video. More importantly, I’d like to congratulate you on your tremendous growth, video presence, and success on RUclips. I first started watching you around 2012, I believe, when I first taught myself to sew. You played a big role in that evolution for me. When I first saw you, I hope you’re not offended if I say that you looked very young, and you were just getting going, but doing it very well. Now, you blow me away with your camera presence, your charisma, your teaching skills, and your very kind personality. I wish you many more years of continued success. I hope you achieve all your dreams... keep it up...
totally agree on all point- especially the very young..but I soon learnt it was her keen spirit and organisational skiils that kept me watching and bring me back to patchwork in my retired days. I owe you a lot..muchisimas gracias vanessa
Ditto!! Ditto!! Ditto!!!!!
I have watched many videos on RUclips with many different people showing how to sew and I honestly feel that you are the most thorough instructor and explain why you do things the way you do but also give options if we prefer to not do them. You are fantastic and I REALLY APPRECIATE you. A fan forever. Please don't ever stop your tutorials. Thank you and God bless you.
Tripping down memory lane and somehow I missed hitting the like bottom on this one....but I do love it and caught it this time.
What a good teacher! A very fun and attractive bag. Thanks.
Wow... !!! My best friend, Loved this video. Looking forward to see more. Awesome... Full watched.
Woo Hoo! Angela Walters has some Mad Quilting Skills! Love 1 hour projects!
This was such a fun challenge and your 1-hour tote is AMAZING! Thanks for sewing along, Vanessa! 😉

Vanessa, this was a terrific project. So functional and practical. I'm grateful you taught us techniques that we can use in any project we imagine.
Vanessa, you never cease to amaze me. Everything you make is so attainable for me. Thank you.
Ive always struggled the most with the boxed corners! I’m going to have to give your method a try for sure! I’ve avoided bag making because I’m more of a machine quilter and not the greatest at piecing. Thanks for the tutorial and the inspiration! I learned how to sew on your channel in 2012 and have followed Angela faithfully since I made the leap into machine quilting in 2013. You ladies have been such a blessing to so many!
Venessa, bless your heart!! I'll bet you are a blast in person. You have an amazing gift for helping others make more of their life than the norm. Thank you for sharing these things and for making it fun!! God bless you and your family!!
Found this when looking for a tote project. I remember Vanessa when sh first started Crafty Gemini 😊. She’s come a long way and good for her!! ❤❤
Angela is wonderful i watch he daily and i just bought. 3 fabrics which have to do with cute quilting fabrics with sewing quilt material consist of measuring tape one material has cute pins on it and one old fashion ruler material which i bought years ago to make a bag. I'm good to go great. Thanks for the demo
I love the colour bag which Angela made
I love your tip of stitching down the sides! I've never thought of that before. Thank you for such a cute bag!
You’re a very good teacher.
This is a great project! If you press the seam open after your first stitching around before you trim down the seam allowance, it will be much easier when you press it before the second stitching. Just a little hint.
Another great tutorial Vanessa! Both you & Angela make a great team! Keep the challenges coming! Thx.
Hello Vanessa! Great tote! I want to share a tip that I use. It helps to lightly wet your fingers when you are trying to get the side and bottom seams to the edges before pressing. The wet fingers help grip the fabric and roll the seam right to the edge. Then you can press and the seam is ready for the 2nd stitch of the French seam.
You should make a tutorial on how to add pockets to this bag! I really enjoy your videos and you make things so clear and easy!
This will be my next sewing project, looks super fun & the tote super useful!
Thanks for all your videos, I really enjoy your channel.
I have watched 100s of bag tutorials however very impressed with your bag making skills which I found to be a notch above most I've seen!
This is great, Vanessa. You really are a wonderful teacher. Your explanations are so thoughtful and easy to follow. Thanks!
I'm like to see more video's between you ladies like this. it looks fun!
Vanessa, I have to say, girl, you are amazing. That was so much fun
You are the very best!!!!! You explain each step so well but keep things moving. A joy to watch & learn.
Super tute here Ms Vanessa!!! Wow...a quick GO TO Gift for just about anyone. The final "polished" over all look of this great project design...is just the PROFESSIONAL WAY that has your name on it Ms Vanessa. I knew this would be a super fine video. Will be making several of these for the grands and anyone else I can think of.
Thanks so much for your DESIGN and Presentation...always "TOP-NOTCH". I too have been watching your videos for a long time. You have really BLOSSOMED as a designer, teacher, presenter and friend. Such a delight, I congratulate you ...You are MOVING the sewing world indeed!!!
God BLess

I love all the little refinements to make really make the it look professional even though it was a simple bag..... I can see a lot of people taking what you taught in this video as a spring board to come up with something really different.....
👍 yet another one for the list 😆 TFS 🐢
Thank you Angela. I'm on a quest to re-purpose my 22lbs cat food bags into shopping tote bags. My one alteration on your presentation would be to better attach the handles. Those would not do for even a day in my use of tote bags. From books to groceries, I load them up, and tie the handles around my bicycle handle bars. So they've got to really "be" there!
I love your gift of layout and style, I think you've got a head for it. And you're using it well!
Vanessa Rocks It as usual. I need a smaller tote for quick trips! Thanks, Vanessa ;-)
Your tote bag is ver pretty nice quick and easy enjoy the video!!! Thank you for sharing!! Hugs Liz.
Vanessa, there is making totes and then there is making totes and Girl, yours are the best. Nice job!
Vanessa I do something like this on a quilt group I have on facebook. I call it the brown bag swap. We put 2 FQ's and a dozen jelly roll strips (2 1/2" X WOF) in a brown paper lunch size sack or a plain mailer envelope. Then mail them to an assigned person. They take the fabrics and make the sender a gift with them. Then mail the gift back to the person who sent them the fabrics. I just finished making a mat to go under a sewing machine for the gal who sent me her fabrics. It's a fun swap. Love your bag and the one that Angela made for you too. Thanks for all your neat tutorials.
I've only made one bag before at a local class- you just made it easy enough for me to confidently make tbis tote at home!
Beautiful bag! You did great with the challenge given to you. Love your choices of fabric colors Angela sent you. BJ
What a great video with super clear instructions! I want to make about 25 of these for gift bags!
This was so much fun, and I learned a lot. I'm an older seamstress, and have just got back to sewing after a long time. I've only made a few bags and masks, and repairs... lol, so far. Your rendition of this great bag is on my list. I love what you did, and how you did it. You're a great teacher. love the colors, too. Thanks for posting.
Hi. Im actually taking a sewing class and one of the assignments is to do a tote bag and this tutorial has helped me to do more than it is required for the class but it will give me the look I am looking for!! Thank you Crafty Gemini for the share :).
Vanessa, Just found your channel a few days ago. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your instructions on French seams and professional looking boxed corners was nothing short of amazing. I am hooked, once again, on sewing due to mask making. I made my first French seams thanks to you. Also, sewed the sides to make bag look oh so professional! Take care and stay safe and a blessing 🙏
That's Grunge polka dots! Super Cute!
Thank you for your skill, enthusiasm and sheer personality. You have encouraged me to get back into sewing after a 20 year absence. Why weren't my teachers like you?
For people looking to get good fabric cheaply and pretty ethically try buying curtains at charity shops. I've found beautiful stuff that transforms bags and other craft projects in a way l couldn't otherwise afford. And this way my money goes to a good cause as does whatever l raise selling my stuff.
See Vanessa - all because of you!
It's where I get my buttons as well, cheaper than going to the store.
I love this! Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to try this! 💜
Sew cute! Y'all are amazing! Can't wait to see what Angela does!
Love this and how you've finished the side seams gives it a really professional finish I've not seen before so thank you for sharing 😊😊
Thank you for your video. I have watched a lot of tote bag videos over time but yours is the first one I've seen where you sew down the sides and bottom to define the faux gussets. I really like this idea. Thank you again and have a great day.
You’re welcome!
What a great idea!!! U two are both great. Honored to learn from you and happy u 2 partnered together for this :-) Thanks so much!
Wonderful! Thank you, Vanessa! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've book-marked this page to my laptop's desktop.
I learned so much on both shows. I learn so many things watching your shows. You are a great teacher! And you have a lovely family. Hope you and Angela can do more projects together. Since you both quilt, maybe you could make a small wall hanging, or something quilted.
I've done the boxed bottom but have never seen the boxed sides before. Thanks for bringing new info to us whether we are new or not so new sewists
As always AWESOME IDEA THANK YOU for SHARING LOVE LOVE LOVE the way this turned out
Love your tote bag! Awesome!
This is my tomorrow project (Thursday 14Jun). Thank you so much Vanessa. 😊❤️
I can't wait to sign up. The duo bag and wash me wear me bag will be great gifts for my daughters and granddaughters.
I just have to say that this length hair on you looks so good and balanced!
Awesome, love the challenge shown by you both...a big fan
easy French seam formula - 1st seam is 1/4 inch (aka 2/8) turn and press; 2nd seam at 3/8 inch = 5/8 inch total Since I learned that formula/trick I use French seam everything except my quilts
Nice tips. Enjoyed watching this video
Thanks for the edge structuring!! Am doing it now on a tote!
I love the midnight Quilt Show Angela is so funny 😂
This is the cutest little bag! And it looks like such an easy pattern. I’m excited to make it.
Like your new style of presentaion Vanessa!
I enjoyed your video. You are an excellent teacher, and very detailed. Thanks for sharing.
Love this tutorial ! You are a really great teacher and the video taping is so clear ! Thank you ! I just finished my 1 Hour Tote ! Wish I knew how to attach a photo of it ! It turned out great !
I've never done glue basting, it's sure becoming popular. Going to give it a go for sure. Cute bag :)
Lots of useful tricks! Thanks Vanessa! ☺️
I like the extra steps to make a simple tote bag. Thanks! I will make a couple of these.😎
Wonderful bag! But I think it's going to take me more than an hour to make😊. I enjoy watching your sewing tutorials, they've helped me with some of my projects. Thanks for sharing!
I love both yours & Angela’s bags!! I can’t wait to make 1!
I'm going to make this tomorrow.
As always, easy to follow instructions and a great project!!
Vanessa, you are awesome girl!!! Thank you for sharing your invaluable talent and wisdom with all of us; I’ve learned a few new things watching you and can’t wait to learn more!!!! Again thank you 😍😊💖💖💖💖

From one Creative ♊ to another, I love your instructional videos. Thank you for sharing.
Love your hair! Great tutorial! Going to try this one! Thank you!
loved this!!!!
Great video! I'm going to make several of these to give as Christmas gifts (and some for myself). Thank you.
Love love love your tutorials
Vanessa, I have to say girl, you are amazing. That was so much fun. I’m on my way to store right now to start my tote..love me some tote bags . also can you make more videos on clothing and is there anyway that you and mimi g can get together and come up with something really fun and different to make. I have been following you both for three years now and my sewing has gotten so much better. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent and tips
Me encantó la bolsita!! Muy fácil y bien terminada..Gracias Genini.
LOVE YOUSHOW AND THE BAG YOU CREATED! AWESOME!
Wow! Awesome bag, loved the French seams, love love the glue idea, and I will be making this bag! I truly need a beach bag, so mine will be larger with a plastic mesh in the bottom. Thanks again! I am subscribing to your RUclips channel 😉 I am a Midnight quilter fan/Crafty Gemini fan.
It's soooo cute Vanessa!!! I have been making bags from a Craftsy class I have, and I LOVE making them. I'll have to give this a go!! Thanks for a fun project and a great tutorial!
Hi, Vanessa! I love this video! Now I can go through my stash of fabrics & have fun! Your instructions are Clear & Easy to follow. It’s been a while since I had sewn anything. My creative side of me yearns to sew! Lol! Thanks so much. You are my inspiration! Hugs!💖
AWESOME, Thank you for making this so simple and I love what you make and your explanation are very simple for me to follow.
Cool! I follow Angela's channel. Love the bags y'all made so I see a couple of bags using my stash in my future!
excellent instruction you alway make it sio clear
Thanks for the great video. Your directions are great! I've been wanting to make grocery bags like the Trader Joe's size and style. Your excellent tips of stitching the sides and bottoms after boxing the bottom. Since the bags at the store are that plasticy type of fabric i did not think of the stitching for strength and structure. Your steps,instructions and great energy are awesome. Thank you very much!!!
awesome as always
Thank you for a great tutorial. Love your little ironing board. Wahoo!
The glue is a neat trick.
This looks like a fun tote & I luv your videos instructions! Blessings💕
I love this simple tote bag n easy instructions.im gonna try n see if I can make it.ty for sharing n making it so simple.xoxo
Such a darling tote .Great instructions
Great good going👌👍👍👍👍👍
To cute. Very easy.
❤️❤️❤️ the French Seam idea!
I never thought of using Elmers glue with fabric and an iron!!!
Thank you for the tutorial. I also like your rulers. I made this bag but it took me 3 hours. . . it is beautiful. . .lol. I gave this bag to a friend and she loved it. I watched Angela Walters tutorial also. I am not a quilter, so her bag looks a little complicated. I'm going to use one panel of her braid pattern and follow your instructions for the size of the bag. Looks like I'll have to line the bag. Maybe it will be reversible. So much fun. . .
Venessa ,hope you feel better soon .Prayers for you
