Wouldn't it be great to have you on TV to watch and learn on the big screen? 🤗 I'm surprised they haven't snatched you up to entertain the masses! 🤔 People would love your personality, your patience and your ability to teach!!! I would record every show! 🤗💖 I'm now 77 and have been sewing for years, but you have taught me new things to sew for my Beta Sigma Phi sisters!!! Thank you, Chelsea...you're a breath of fresh air!! 💖💖💖
Oohhhh that would be SEW fun!
Honestly sometimes I just watch you because I need someone to tell me I’m doing a good job. I’m laughing but also serious, I don’t always interpret it as “your sewing is great good job”, a lot of times I’m like “she means I’m doing ok in life. She’s telling me good job at adulting”. But seriously, you’re a great teacher and I appreciate you and your cheery attitude so much. ❤
I appreciate this so much. And that’s exactly what I’m hoping to get across! I just want to spread a little joy to a weary world. 🥰
@@shesewsseams well again? Thank you so much because it truly is SOOOOO necessary and rare
This turned out great! And was an easy thing to do, I took 3 placemats and made my Mom a walker bag!
If I buy 2 mats and use the full size, I can make myself a lunch bag for work!!! 🎉. I will just have to sew on some straps and voila!
I'M SO IMPRESSED with your sewing process and presence that I'm virtually speechless. I believe if I had encountered someone like you in past years, I would have done more sewing. BUT, even though I'm 69, you have inspired me to do more sewing. Just your attitude has helped pushed me to overcome my hesitation sew. THANK YOU!
Thank you for the kind words!
I knoooow! I am 62 and feel the same. So glad I found her channel!!!
Those mats are expensive in Denmark where I’m from. Therefor I went to a thrift store and bought quilted placemats for 20 kr it’s about 2,75$ and made 2 bags😊
I’ve made her bags with placements. Works great!
Good for you!
Great idea. Thanks.
Clever and resourceful!😊
They are pretty cheap on Temu.
Somebody used a dollar tree shower curtain liner to line the inside of bags. I thought that was clever 🥰❤️
The reminders that you’re proud of us is healing my inner child ❤
This would be super cool for a picnic. You could add all your silverware, napkins, salt, pepper, straws etc
Great idea!!
Oh, yes! Perfect idea! 😍
You have a genuine presence and easy to follow instructions. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much!
I just found her channel, too! Happy and easy to follow, though I am a veteran sewist at 72!❤❤😊 I still love the simple projects for those stolen moments in my day!
Chelsea, you're me fifty years ago (I'm 78). Your channel is the best. So glad I found it. Keep sewing and having a good time doing it. Sewing is still my happy place. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I grew up sewing and had forgot how stress relieving it is - so glad I am back and enjoying these videos so much
This is a WONDERFUL tutorial. Every summer I meet up with my high school friends for a girls weekend and I always bring them something that I make. This is what they will be getting for the Summer of 2024 !!!! We meet in Maine so it is called
"The Maine Event !!!"
Greetings from Maine! 😀
I sew GF gifts too. This moved to the top of the list. Love this project!
@@AnnRicci I love this so much!!
This the first video I have seen of yours and I am a fan! I love your patience, calming voice, and your laugh! Thanks for great content 🥰
Thank you so much!
I thought exactly the same.😊
Me too!! My first time. ❤ great idea!!! And I love her cheerfulness.
Possibly a cute birthday gift for a young girl. And fill with a brush, comb, lip gloss or chap stick, coin purse,cloth handkerchief, possibilities are endless.
That is the first time in a while, I've heard someone mention cloth handkerchief, so glad someone else thinks of those, also if you know the receiptient personally, if they happen to wear glasses, a glasses cleaning cloth would be nice.
Never have I ever sewed until TODAY! I made two of these and I am SO PROUD of y wiggly stitched pouches!! Thank you!!! 🎉
👏 proud of you
Great job! That’s amazing!!!!
@@shesewsseams Joanne’s and the Five Quarter Store agree with you 🙄🤣🤣🤣
Keep on sewing.!! Just think, you can start working on your Christmas list!!
@@bettycesky4947 thank you for the encouragement!
I made this for my granddaughter, i used the drying mat that has sea turtles on it!
You are a genius to think of this. Thanks for sharing this project. I applaud you.
I thought this was going to be clickbait especially about the zipper. I thought oh sure we can make it under $2 if we have a zipper that we've taken out of some other garment or extra zippers just hanging around but no you actually purchased the Zipper by getting the mesh laundry bags! You are a genius! I live in a coastal area and can easily make the remaining mesh into a shell bag by just simply stitching the top over and threading through a drawstring! What is my drawstring? I have old t-shirts that I cut and make t-shirt yarn out of and I use it from anything from holding the fabric over my kombucha jars to holding up my tomato vines to making a drawstring for a shell bag!
I'm with you - all my "waste" fabric goes into ties for my tomato plants!
Ok, I made the typical rookie mistake …. I pulled off the zipper after the zipper sides are sewn on. Is there an easy way to put it back on . Queen of the ripper:) thanks
Nevermind….God just wanted to see me sweat a little!
That would be a good video idea tho right? @@maryabrams5872
I find myself smiling the whole time I'm watching your videos!
I'm so glad! 😀
ME TOO!!
If you purchased 3 of the dish mats, you could make a tote bag. 2 for the body of the bag, square the ends and 1 mat for straps. With the mats vertically, they could be a bag to put library books in or horizontally sewn for more of a beach bag. If you needed a pocket for beach bag, the net laundry bag with zipper could be used. I love your makeup bag idea, just found your site, thanks for sharing your inspiration and imagination. ❤️
Love your idea of using the mesh for inside pockets.
Me too!
What a simple, clever idea to use dish drying mats. I've made projects of all kinds for decades and never saw this before. I work at a senior center and we have a gift shop with things that were all made by our members. This would be a great addition. I'm looking forward to seeing your other projects.
This would also be great to make for toy/school supplies drives and customizing solid color items with appliques of items or positive messages. One can also slip a positive message into the bag.
It would ALSO be great to make "care packages" for men or women and put in small personal care items - razors, chapstick, lotion, tissues, etc. That would work for not only charities but also as a small gift for someone who might be in the hospital or nursing home.
Wishing you continued success with your channel!
I love your personality! So cheerful and happy. How refreshing these days. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I love that you harvested the zipper from the mesh laundry bag, that’s so frugal. ❤ Adorable bag !
Thank you! 😊
I love that part too. Frugal is my middle name. LOL
I love your videos. Makes me miss my mom. I’m 70 now. You remind me of my mom 😊
I love that you are proud of me! Thank you ! We need someone to be proud of us.
The budget friendly crafty bestie we all need in our life!! Your such a bubbly personality, I Love it! Thank you for an awesome budget friendly sewing tutorial!!
Thank you so much!!
UK sewer, Just found you while looking for new sewing ideas.
Such a good idea for a zipped purse.
Everyone in comments agrees too.
Hey Chelsea!
I am so thankful to find you!
My granddaughter and I are sewing together. This project is great for her to learn! So,
Hey we're HERE!❤
Thank you so much!
I was raised by sewers..at some point they were disgusted with me that I couldn't learn to sew in a zipper..I was to get a A+in homeack..in H-school..but here I am . 60yrs old and I'm going to learn to sew that damm zipper..thanks to you..your a very good teacher ...thank you ❤️..here I go
Good luck!!!
@Veetribe. I, too, was raised by sewers! I started at 5-6 on my great grand’s treadle & here I am, still crappy at apparel but (sewing) crafts & making quilts I do a pretty good job! Now go get that machine!
I love this. I am a beginner. You are such a good teacher. Looking forward to more projects
Me too I am 71 and still scared to put in a zipper. Like what could happen? A broken needle....let's try it. I bet you can do it. ✌️🇨🇦 I believe in you😊 cheers
I was scared of sewing zippers as well. A friend walked me through it and I did it!
I just found your channel and am so pleased. You are sort of like a sewing Mr. Rogers. A feel good plus productive RUclips station. Thank you.
I love your voice & laughter. You are a great teacher also! Thank you ❤️🎉
Thanks for watching!
Finally someone who can show me how to sew!!!😊
I’m really bad at sewing…
Beautiful! Enjoyed watching too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just finished showing my 8 year old neighbor how to sew 2 gift card holders for his teachers and he was sooo happy! Can’t wait to show him this item, thank you!
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you for explaining the steps so well. I love it.
Glad it was helpful!
Chelsea! I did it! Thanks to you! Took me way longer than 15mins, yet it was my first zipper and I wasnt too intimidated. Thank you
Great job!
OMG Chelsea thank you for the video. your teaching and instructions are so easy and professional. thank you.
You are the absolute BEST!! thanks a gazillion… the world needs more wonderful people like you … 😉
Wow, thank you!
Great video! You're a good teacher!
I appreciate that!
This is PERFECT for wet swimsuits during the summer!! Just throw in your swimsuits and bring them home. Toss them and the bag in the wash! I’m going to make one for each kid of mine. Thanks for the tutorial!!
Great idea!!
Hi Chelsea, you make my day! So much fun to watch & you make me feel powerful to sew & have fun with the ideas you come up with! I❤hearing about your son & children! The old saying: OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABIES😊
This is a good older kid project! I love your ‘hack’ to cover the raw edge!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!💜💜💜💜
Going to the dollar tree after work today. I’m determined to learn zippers.
OMG I Love these!!!!! Thank you!!
Glad you like them!
I appreciate the well finished edges. Many quick to sew projects have unfinished edges. Well made and so useful.
Oh my! I'm adding a wide grograin ribbon handle into the side seam . These are fantastic! Thank you so much!
Hi Chelsea, I really enjoy watching your videos!! You are fun and very easy to follow!!
Glad you like them!
Did you ever teach a sewing class? Your instructions are easy to follow, and I love how you comment on how well everyone is doing making the project. The story about your 3 year old is so cute. I love your giggle, makes me smile. Thanks for the sewing project.
That sounds fun!! Maybe I should!
Check out libraries to find out if the host classes anytime and pay you for doing it
😊love watching you sew and love the way you explain things so keep making so I can learn more
Thank you, I will
What a cute, easy make! You’re a wonderful teacher too.😊
Thank you! 😊
Super cute and easy bag. Thank you, now I know how to box corners. My youngest is now 29 but she would do the same at the playground when she was about 3/4 and say “Hi kids, I’m here!” So stinking cute!
Thank You for this video! I’m having a tough day today and your sweet fun personality is uplifting and the story of your 3 yr old made me smile. ❤
You’re so welcome. I hope your day gets better from here on out!
Hope your day gets better!!
I look forward to seeing your videos every day, you always put a smile on my face :-) your approach to making sewing financially accessible to everyone is the best, especially at the moment ❤
Oh, and I love this bag!!!
@@PyrateWench84thank you so much!!
It's nice to see someone who has the same machine as I do.
Great idea with the zipper! Genius!
Great video. This bag will be useful in so many ways. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
My grandmother bought my sewing machine when i was in 7th grade, best investment ever. So enjoyed making all my clothes. Watching your videos make me want to find that Singer! Am 78 & still crafting, next time i go to Joannes for yarn, my feet will take me to the sewing machines instead! Great teacher!❤
luv it! thank you!!! you're so sweet and fun!
You are so welcome!

😊 thank you
This is a great sewing project for my granddaughter who is learning how to sew!!! Thanks!!!
I am going to save so much money from these tips. Thank you so much. Zippers especially 🎉
You are so welcome!
This is my first video! Mahalo for your sunny personality!
So awesome! I love your positive energy!
Thank you so much!!
Love love this.. I have sewn since I was 12 and I am 64... I watched the whole video to get all the tips and now I am gonna have to. make some...
Thank you for showing how up close, and explaining it so well. Very cute, thank you❤
You’re welcome 😊
I just found your channel and I can’t stop watching. Your projects are so simple for a beginner and less expensive. Thank you for being a great teacher.
You are so welcome!
Thank you youtube for popping you up in my feed. Cool! I need newbie sewing stuff. I haven't sewn a zipper since high school. I made a dress I couldn't wear.
I got excited and tried to make a hot pad from dollar tree into a pan handle protector and failed miserably. This is such a cute idea. My baby girl will love a custom purse to pay with. She's 6. I think she'll use it for taking her toothbrush and hairbrush to gramma's. Lol
I love watching you so much. You make me smile and I want to run to Dollar Tree. 😄
😊 thank you
I love your easy making something for a small amount of money.
You are a natural teacher. I love the tutorial… I am going to make me some of these. ❤️❤️❤️
Please do!
Loved it!
You are an 😇 of a teacher. Thank you. Hope my dollar store has the material. Zippers are expensive now. Your idea of zippers is great.
Enjoyed this soooo much. Thankyou!
You are so welcome!
I LOVE your instructions, voice, attitude, and story of your children. Great information which I will definitely share with my friends!!!! I will definitely continue to watch your videos!!!
Thank you so much!
Very nice and good at explaining what to do not just doing Very nice thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your giggle. Makes me smile! Thank you for being you!!
This idea worked great! I used the green sea turtle design, and it turned out super cute!
That's great!
I did it!!!!! And it came out SUPER CUTE 🥰 ❤❤❤❤
I love this!! So glad I found you.
Welcome!!
I so love watching your posts. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Girlllllll!!!! Your outfit is the CUTEST!!!! Just came across your page, so time to learn!!! Thank youuuuu 🫶
Instead of cutting to box the corners, instead draw a line where you would cut on just 1 side. After sides and bottom are sewed, you then form the corner and sew on the line. Presto, the seam is still finished!
Made this bag with the same watermelon drying mat! Love it and so easy to do!
Wonderful!
Chelsea thank you for your very pleasant way of teaching. This will get me back into sewing😊
Fun! Im so glad I found you today!
Adorable. I want to do this and add crossbody straps to it so it can be a bag for quick trips to the high street with just a few things in there. Great video. ❤
That’s a great idea.
This is so stinkin cute! Does it match your duffle bag? Genius! This is perfect for so many special occasion days for multiple people, I love it! I love the price too! 🥰👍🏻💯
OMG!!!! I just made this bag!!! First time ever sewing a zipper. I couldn’t find the netted bags for the zipper so I grabbed a pink binder pouch with a pink zipper. Looks so cute 😊 I will try to post on IG.
Wonderful!!!
I’ve been wanting to make a kindle sleeve and this is the perfect material and bag size! So cute!!
Go for it!
Bought the watermelon mat yesterday, made it today and gave it to my daughter tonight. Great video had fun making it. Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome!!!! Good work!
I love watching you,,have learned a few things from you,,god bless
Sewing zippers is the next thing on my list to learn to do in my sewing journey. I think I always just have a fear of wasting or missing something up so this project is very affordable and I won’t feel bad if I mess it up the first couple of tries. Thank you.
Don’t feel bad! Messing them up is actually how you get good at them!!!
You are so cute and fun! Love the projects! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
This is the second video of yours that I’ve watched and now saved. Can’t wait till my house hold goods get here (just relocated to the US from Germany) so I can get my machine out and make some of these! Excellent tutorial!
Getting my sewing machine back from being in South Korea was the longest wait of my life 😅 Welcome back and I hope everything arrives safely and quickly!
Thank you! Apparently our hhg has been delayed. 😢 We got notified today that it was out at sea and then recalled etc etc. I am tempted to buy a small brother or singer nothing fancy.
@@AnExpatKnitsoh no! I got an inexpensive Singer from the PX for $99 to use while my machine was getting fixed 🤞🏽 that you can find one.
