Well done. I will be making this bag. Your quiet and measured instruction and tips were spot on. I appreciate you including your own comments like "this is the best I've ever sewn this" when commenting on squaring up the project. It is a confidence builder to those of us who struggle with accurate piecing to know an instructor is keeping it real. Thank you and I wish you continued success!

I am debating on it now.. I cannot hand sew!! But I really like this bag
@@jenniferjanson5933 I am wondering if I could just use the arm of the machine like you would do a cuff and sew the binding on that way because I really hate to hand sew.
It's expensive but maybe worth it to give it a shot
Beautiful, ordered the kit and rulers.
We're happy you like it! We're looking forward to seeing your finished project photos. 💙-Michelle
Wow this is amazing ❤I love the colab with you and Bethany! I love her ideas! and both of you have so many great tips!

Just a thought? My partner ( Male) said wow that's nice? Im like ok where you going with this? He said It would be awesome to have an overnighter ( For Men) made in same diamomd pattern more " Manly" colors? Maybe she could design one for the guys? Im tired of his old "Gym Bag" walking into the "Resort" there's a challenge "People"
An Im in North Queensland Australia an find it hard to purchase these kits?
That's fun! We do think this project would be fantastic in a variety of fabric options. One friend recommended using denim to cover the handles too! We do ship to Australia if you're looking to purchase from us: www.shabbyfabrics.com/search?sortOrder=6&q=dancing+diamond 💖 -Michelle
Love this tutorial
Thanks, Sandra! We're very glad you enjoy it!! 💙 -Michelle

That would be a beautiful collection, indeed! Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Super fun!
Thank you!! We're happy you like it!! 💙 -Michelle
Great bag for using scraps.
Yes, it is! We're glad you like it!! 😍 -Michelle
Love for the second time ❤
Thank you so much!! -Michelle
awww love it!!!
We're happy you enjoy it! Thank you for watching!! 🤗 -Michelle
I really enjoyed this tutorial. At first I was sure this was beyond me but watching this video inspired me. I would love to make it using “ Bali batiks coast to coast or the autumn trails fabric”.
We're very happy you enjoy this fun project!! Those are great fabric suggestions!! 💖 -Michelle
Nagyon de nagyon tetszett, nagyon jó a levezetés a magyarázat, rengeteg új fogást tanultam!!!! A táska az unokáimnak lesz nagyszerű, mikor elmennek csak vásárolgatni!!! A hangulatot viszik magukkal!! Köszönöm szépen!!!
Nagyon örülünk, hogy élvezi ezt a szórakoztató projektet. Köszönöm szépen hogy megnézted!! 💖 -Michelle
Such a beautiful project. I love to make one. I like the color of nail polish you used. All of it is so pretty 😍
We're glad you enjoy it!! Bethany is wearing Rose Gold gel polish from Le Mini Macaron on her nails. 💖 -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics oh wow! Love the color rose gold!😀
Fantastic!!
We're happy you enjoy this fun project!! Thanks sew much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
The terms for the grommet pieces are male and female. Love the bag, looking forward to making one (or more).
Thank you very much for this information! We're glad you enjoy it! -Michelle
Wow, Is this fun! I am making the bag right now. I highly recommend this pattern. The interfacing makes it go together so perfectly. One pattern correction to add: In step 2 of the Gem bag binding directions, it says to cut two strips WOF for the binding . It was NOT enough. I found THREE strips will work. Otherwise so far , so good. Thank you SF :)
We're happy you enjoy this fun project!! Thanks for the suggestion!! 💖 -Michelle
Beautiful bags and a very clever design. I think choosing the fabrics could be intimidating if you overthink it. Just do it!!!
You're absolutely right! We're happy you enjoy this project. Thanks for watching!! 💙 -Michelle

Love it
Thank you! We're glad you like this fun tote! 😍 -Michelle
love it !
Glad you enjoy this project! Thanks for watching! -Michelle
The sharpness of two tones would give this bag a very modern, striking look. My pick would be Ombré Metallics in Plum and Honey. Best of both worlds: variation and contrast.
Those are definitely great choices! Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Beautiful bag Bethany. Great tutorial.,=^^=
Thank you very much, Debbie! We're glad you enjoy this delightful tote!! 💙 -Michelle
✨ GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS ✨
Estamos encantados de que disfrutes de este divertido proyecto. Gracias por ver. 💙 -Michelle
This bag is beautiful. I love the colors. I wonder how it would look in different shades of blues?
That's an excellent suggestion!! Thanks sew much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Great tutorial, Bethany! I especially love the instructions on how you deal with a binding on a bulky piece and your clear explanations of the reasons why you do the techniques you do!
We're happy you enjoyed this delightful tote tutorial!! Thank you very much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
This is a great bag! I would use Opulent Floral. There are 3-4 other fabrics that I saw in the list
That's a beautiful choice!! We're glad you enjoy this delightful project!! 🤗 -Michelle
Super👍👍👍👍
Thank you! We're glad you enjoy this project!! 💖 -Michelle
Wow, this would be an eye catching bag. I hope that I can get to do this bag. 🌷💕🙋♀️
Hi Emily, Bethany takes you through each step of the way and if you have any questions, we are here to help you work through it. We hope you give it a go! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. :) Jen
Just watched the tutorial and I would love to make one from the Nantucket Summer fabric.
Great choice!! We're happy you enjoy this fun tote!! 💖 -Michelle
Such a pretty bag.. Now i got to break out my sewing machine for spring
Thank you! We're happy you enjoy this delightful project. Now's the time to get started on spring sewing!! 💖 -Michelle
I would use Opulent Floral great bag.
That's a lovely suggestion!! Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
🥰👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Love this bag, and you did a great job explaining the process and pitfalls. Still not sold on the raw edge wrapping method for the cording. It seems that over time, with the cording moving in and out of those grommets, the fabric will fray more and more. Is there any other method or cording that could be used that would still look attractive and contain a more finished edge (and eliminate fraying)?
Hi Patricia- We're happy you enjoy this fun project! Instead of choosing the raw edge wrapping, you could do the same thing, except iron in a 1/4" hem onto one side of a 1.25" strip. Hope that makes sense!! 😍 -Michelle
I would love to make this bag in your autumn trails fabric that is coming
Yes, that would be a fun collection for this project!! We're very happy you enjoy it!! 😎 -Michelle
Love this. Everything is explained well. The only thing I would like to know is what color is her nail polish? It's very pretty
I'm wearing Rose Gold gel polish from Le Mini Macaron. 💖 -Bethany
