I am 69 and have always wanted to do this bag. You are the best teacher, you are the only one I can understand and you aren't too fast with teaching, you are just Amazing, thank you so much
You are so welcome!
You are the "Mr. Roger's" of sewing ♥️🥳. You're gently easing us (no pun intended 🤣) into a whole new world of sewing! Thanks a bunch Chelsea!!
I love your videos, I can’t get enough of them! Your bubbly, sassy, over-the-top sense of humor personality has me coming back all the time. If we were to look up the word “fun” in a dictionary, I’m almost sure that your picture & definition would be there. Thank you for all that you do, YOU put the fun in the impossible. Your videos are so concise, & down-to-earth. I consider myself a seasoned sewist, yet I always look forward to your videos every time.
Well you just made my day!!!! Thank you for the kind words!!!! ❤❤❤
I think I smiled through this whole tutorial 😂❤such agreat idea. Keep smiling and cheering us on🎉
I'm so glad!
In the pet aisle they have cat face and dog bone foam mats.. id like to see what u come up with for them
I’ve looked at those several times! My brain needs more time… 😂😂😂
❤❤I am here binging on your videos in your Channel as I am stuck at an airport in Guadalajara, Mexico 🇲🇽 waiting to take a flight to Los Angeles and then to New Mexico. I have long hours ahead of me and I am SO happy I found your channel. I am enjoying your videos very much and learning and your energy has eased my pain and frustration with a “return flight from a vacation trip gone wrong”. Thank you!! Thank you!!! And guess where I am going first thing when I get to New Mexico? Dollar Tree!!😂😂. Beautiful bag. Awesome energy. God bless. 🌺
Wonderful Chelsea, you make me believe that sewing should be fun!!!
It is!
❤thank you 😊❤
You're welcome 😊
I love your videos! I’ve been researching finding a tutorial for a sewing machine cover. Think these would work for that? 🤔 Thank you for all you do!! ❤❤
I have been using a quilted pillow case that came with my bedspreads. They work perfectly.
Or, rather than buying a fat quarter for the handles, buy 2 rolls of ribbon, & line w/the interfacing & sew the ribbon back to back to make the straps. Now the straps match the decorator ribbon down the middle of the bag. Done & Done. Now your duffle bag is totally cohesive w/the total vibe that you originally set out to do. Give yourself a pat on the back, because you did it! Yay you!!!! Congratulations.
This is a great idea!… I think I would do the same thing but use a fat quarter for the straps and sew the ribbon on top of the fat quarter straps so that there’s a bit of the fat quarter on each side of the ribbon.
Such a great idea!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Adorable!! Love it!❤
Thank you! 😊
Love your t shirt
I love your teaching how to sew on a budget. It doesn’t take a lot of money to be creative. I didn’t get to have expensive notions or materials when I started, but I fell in love with all that I could create. Plus like you said thrift your supplies you will be surprised at the treasures you will find!
Thank you for the kind words!!!
Very cute and clever. I already made two of the one dish mat ones. Thanks for the ideas. Btw. I made the bags without cutting the mat in half. Only the two corners to finish up. My husband requested one for his fishing stuff. 🥰
I know this has nothing to do with sewing, but you have beautiful eyes. Love all your videos
Thank you so much
Love your duffle bag
I love you and your videos. Thank you for being kind.
I’dove to see your quilts!
❤❤❤
Love that duffle. I’m planning my sewing day. I’ll send you pics when I’m done with my dish drying mat projects.
I love watching your channel. I have a sewing machine that hasn't seen the light of day for 20 years. I can't even remember how to use it. I'm tempted to have a go. . ....❤
You can do it!
Great Tutorial...just found you on youtube, and love your personality, beautiful eyes, and your great teaching methods...I had seen a tutorial about a year ago where you sew strips of fabrics to the dish mats, and thought how cute would it be to make one using all the pretty fabrics we have and make the outside even more prettier! I think I might try it...thank you!
OMGraciousness, I LOVE this bag!!! Especially the watermelon!!!
I love seeing you put zippers in. It looks so simple and nice.
Thank you! 😊
What is that ginormous spool 🧵 of thread 🪡 you are using? I’d like to know!! I do like that you mention the stitch length you are using most Makers do not when making a tutorial. ❤
If you hadn't posted your video link I'd have never found you. Thank you!!❤❤❤
I just today, found one of your videos to watch. Now, I'm obsessed! Love the watermelons and your laugh. I will be making a bunch of these. ❤❤
Welcome!!
I love your personality and how you get right to the point❤
Neat idea! I think by adding the ribbon it will improve the structure of the bag. Especially when the bag is loaded.
I think so too!
Great job ❤
Thank you! 😄
Topstitching on the handles is a great place to use decorative stitches as well.
Great tip!
Sew sew adorable!!!
Do you keep all these bags your making or do you sell some?? The big ones would be perfect to take to Sam's or Costco!!!
I give a lot of them away! ❤
I would be willing to buy a couple of them. If I had an address to mail the money to. Of course I'd need to know how much you charge for them. I used to sew all the time when my children were young. I have great granddaughters now would love to sew for them just not as easy for me now days.
You r so right about learning new things. I have sewn for 58 years n I loved your tip about using the edge of the zipper tape to fold over the raw edge. That was a brilliant idea.
I also use dollar tree binder clips $ saver.
I love this bag! I can’t wait to make one! I love sewing bags!
I love to top stitch aqua blue on red. It really pops and add aqua blue ribbon to match
I used small binder clips from...the Dollar Tree!!😊
Great idea!!
I have been watching RUclips for a long time and I just discovered you and watched your video on making the duffel bag. You are an awesome teacher. Somebody made the comment that you are the Mr. Rogers of Sewing and I greatly agree with that because I’m 78 years old and I learned a lot from you and I think that’s awesome. I will watch your videos and learn from you and probably be able to get some new projects going for myself. You are not only informative. You’ve got the greatest personality and you are the sweetest lady. Please don’t ever lose that personality of yours. You should be on a national channel craft channel somewhere because you are really good and I’m just so glad that I ran into you. Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment and for all of the things that I’m learning from you. Just keep going girl the more you go the more we all learn thank you,
Thank you so much for these kind words! You made my day!
Excellent work!!!😊🎉❤ Love what you do.
Thank you so much 😀
Oh, oh, this one would be perfect to add a luggage trolley sleeve to, just before you add the handles. I just saw a tutorial for that, which was a super easy add-on to any bag that has the handles tyle that gets sewn down onto the bag like that! Umm, I forgot the creator, but just search for how to add a a trolley sleeve to a bag
he variety of textures in the mamacoo pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I use baste it and glue my zippers in before I acctually sew them in. I do not have to worry about them being uneven or messy.
Love yr videos!!
Thank you!!
Love watching your videos, I have to watch then twice sometimes, great teacher ❤
Glad you like them!
I am new to your channel, and I love watching and listening to you. You have really cool ideas.
Thank you so much!
I just love this kind of video! Love 5he way you think outside the box! You just got uiusrlf a new subscriber!!
Yay! Thank you!
I l8ve in Canada. Our dollar tree store sell everything for $1.50. Still a great deal!! I use the interfacing yiur using all the time...its great stuff and the piece is a full yard!! To but interfacing off the bolt here can cost anywher from $4-$10 per yard!
I think it is so cute and handy for many things. Thank you. You are a great teacher.❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Just found you today 😍 looking forward to many more tutorials! You are awesome! ❤️
Yay! Thank you!
Linda from Texas - Chelsea, I love watching your videos. You explain everything so clearly and it’s refreshing to see the joy you get from making something and sharing it with everyone. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Great video!!!❤❤❤Keep it up!!!😊
I just come up on your videos, I love them, you are a good teacher:)❤
Glad you like them!
Super cute can't wait to make one
I just discovered you and am loving your videos. Just made my first duffel bag from the drying mats and it turned out so cute! Thank you!
Great job!
That came out so cute going to get get a bunch of dish dry pads
Can’t stay and watch but will be watching replay for sure later! Love the watermelons. 🍉 😊
Hope you enjoy!
I love your tutorials. I love your giggles even more! Thank you.
🤭🤭🤭
I just discovered your channel!! Holeee smokes. I never knew how to box a corner. And truthfully zippers terrify me. I’m working up to it though. I feel confidence building up. With all the dishmat things to make, I was wondering if you could show us how to make appliance covers. Toaster, stand mixer, etc. start with what measurements need to be taken and go all the way through to a beautimous air fryer cover. I think the dish mats might be good for this but maybe some quilted fabric? I’d love to learn how
Love love love!
Such a neat idea. I like how it holds its shape. Definitely prefer this kind of handles. Great video ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Came across your video. I’m a beginner. I just love your videos! Thank you for all your ideas! You’re awesome at what you do! 😊 keep it up! 👍🏽 I love watermelons too 😃 🍉
Thank you so much!
Honestly what a wonderful idea. I agree it’s the perfect beach bag! I love the watermelon’s adorable! 🍉 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
I am so glad that I found you. I love your duffel bag. I can’t wait to try it out. 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
Aieee, that turned out so cute!
Thank you!
Great idea! And great tutorial! Well done!
Thanks so much!
I just love your laugh. I love the dollar tree items that you use. So clever!
Thank you so much!
That came out great, the water melon bag.
Amazing bag chelsea. This type of bag has always scared me but I'm definitely willing to try it
You should!
Cute 🥰 u can also line it inside ❤️😘👍👍
You make it look so easy.
I have a huge crush on your channel. You are simply amazing and this project is so going to the top of my to do list. Just waiting for payday, senior citizen here on a fixed income, but the budget will just have to squeal a bit this month, that duffle bag is getting made for my sister. And then maybe for my two daughters. And then maybe for myself! Good thing these are so cost effective, otherwise I may have to get a loan!! 😄
Have so much fun! Your family is lucky to have you!
I rarely watch videos over 15 minutes; watched all of this one!
Yay! Thank you!!
I love it. Great job.
Thank you! 😊
Omg that bag is adorbs!! 😍
Thank you!!
I would cut tails on inside corners and zigzag to finish the inside. Great bag and tutorial
Adorable❤
Girl you had me running to dollar tree. These are hard to find. I found one.
This is exceptional and amazing. Please keep the lessons and videos coming. Thank you.
Thank you! Will do!
First of all, THANK YOU 😍..
Second, could you please recommend me a beginner budget friendly sewing machine? I am in Canada and we have options like Janome, Brother and Singer but honestly I feel I am lost as to which can be OK to start with.
And btw, I used the watermelon mats to make one beach bag and 2 smaller make up bags, all manually sewn coz obviously I don't have a sewing machine yet 😅, but I am used to handsewing zippers to my crochet bags so that was ok for now but I can't wait to get my first machine.
Wow!!! Good work!!!!
Here is my favorite machine to recommend to beginners: amzn.to/4bFa7TB
Good job, thank you😂❤
Fantastic job! Loving all of the drying mat ideas!
Glad you like them!
This is a terrific project. I especially like the directions you give, as if we have never sewn before, even if we have. It makes me feel so safe in doing this project. So many seamstresses make a tutorial for novice sewers and that is difficult to follow. I do have a tip for those zipper tabs to share. It is a huge fabric and finger saver! I take a two by two inch piece of scrap fabric, fold it in half. Then put the needle on that, in the middle and it will give the needle something to grab onto so your small pieces of sewing do not get stuck in the machine. Just sew from the middle of your scrap square right to your small sewing area and BAMMO! You can complete the stitching without your needle getting stuck! I'm a quilter and I use that tip all the time, which was demonstrated to me from a fellow quilter. And also, thank you for showing how the baby lock works. I always wondered if it was worth the money.
You are a genius and just super cute.Thank you for sharing❤
You are so welcome
That's adorable. I love sewing and have sewn for years. Like you (although I'm much older) I learned in school and have loved it ever since! I'm new to your channel and I'm happy to have found you.
That is awesome! Welcome!!
An idea for using the extra parts of the underbed storage bags is to use it to line the fabric inside for the straps. That wd be good for reinforcing the straps.
Beautiful work
Thank you very much!
Great job! I love this.
And you are so wonderful at teaching these tutorials.
Thank you very much.
I've been sewing all my life, but I love how you have this all figured out for you and for everyone who watches this tutorial. ❤
LOVE, Love, Love it!!! I have to force myself to keep "working" and not run to my sewing machine!
Love love love this duffle. As soon as $Tree opens I will be there!! Keep up you amazing and creative projects. You’re bestest!🤗
Yay! Thank you!
“ I’m extra! “ I almost fell off my chair. Keep it up, you’re doing great.
Thank you!! 😁
If you want cording for your bag handles and can't get to the big stores, look in the pet supplies!! Pet leashes and collars are perfect for that use!!!
I want to thank you very much as a new sewer, I like the way you teach, you don't talk down to us, and you don't assume we know things that a new sewer doesn't know. I came across this video on you tube and have watched a few of your videos and love them. thank you very much. I am gonna make my grandaughters these bags for Christmas. thanks again Tina
You are so welcome
I’ve made two duffel bags out of the dish drying mat and one out of pre-quilted material I had in my stash and for the mats I used dog leashes for the handles
Hey Chelsea I am so in love with your channel and your videos… I was wandering if you could do the watermelon duffle bag with a lining? I want to make this so badly but I like bags with linings. Please if you could do one with a lining. Thank you ma’am.
I love it! I like the fact you are showing to think outside of the box.😊 In using dollar ($1.25) tree items to use to sew. Thank you. ❤😊
Awesome
Your dollar tree must have really cool stuff!
LOVE IT!!! Thanks for the inspiration❤
Chelsea, here's a crazy cool tip for edge stitching, like on your straps, that I've learned in the last year or so. If you're machine has a mirror image option, you can set the option to move your needle to the left position and stitch down the left side of your strap. Then to stitch the right edge, select the mirror image option. This will move your needle to the same position, but on the right side of center. Doing it this way, you can rest the entire presser foot in the fabric instead of half on and half off. It also helps prevent any wrinkling from being fed through in two directions.
Great tip!
Girl, you are amazing. I’m so new I’m having trouble even sewing straight seams lol
