They are Ditty bags. When I was in Basic Training back in 1966-1969. We (Women's Army Corps trainees) each had to carry one of these Ditty bags (in Forest Green) to our classes (to hold our necessary items in). They also made great Shoe Shine Kits, Sewing/Repair Kits, and First Aid Kits. We bought ours at the PX. I'm glad to see them being made and offered again. Wonderful. Thank you.
Holy Moly! You have completely simplified and removed so many steps from other pattern/tutorials! This is extremely helpful. Thank you. Many of these techniques will be useful in several types of bags. What a fantastic video. Definitely the most helpful I’ve seen in years!
Hi Christine,I love watching your videos,the camera work is brilliant,and as a beginner I am learning a lot visually. Thank you so much for helping us💐🌺
I have made these in a larger size for the young girls in our family who have everything and they all loved them. And more importantly, used them. I buy cute zips with ring pulls in different colours that add to the cuteness (and cost if you are making to sell). I thoroughly recommend these as a handmade gift 🎁
Thank you so much again Christine - you’re the very best teacher on RUclips. And I love the way you point out little mistakes too! I make loads of mistakes and am forever unpicking 😊x
By accident I found this video. So glad I did. 👍❤️👍 Your instructions were very clear and understandable. I love how you explain how to hide all the seams. You give great tips for how to sew in multiples. You are very talented and your finished bags are so professional looking - inside and out. Thank you. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching more from you.
Thank you for your videos. I never though I could make things on a sewing machine that would be worth selling or gifting. Your videos have made that possible!
Hi, wow you're very creative! I've just bought my first sewing machine from spotlight 4 days ago and I'm 34. I never grew up around sewing. I think this is very cool. I've subscribed
Great boxy bag. Love these. Coco looks delightful. Thanks for sharing her a bit. Made a huge one of these few years back to hold our artificial Xmas tree. It’s 39” tall and the 4 sides total about 28-30”. Holds everything, has a long recycled luggage double pull zip, and a sturdy hanging loop. We love it. Edit: forgot to say …. I save all trimmings from zips and fold one side in half to use as the “tab”. Saves time and waste. People get a huge kick out of them when they finally notice what the tabs are made of. Fun.
Hi Christian. Thank you for another lovely video. I love the box bags, I look forward to seeing your posts. It was so lovely to see your beautiful baby girl again in your video today. I find as soon as I start sewing my boy wants to start playing ball or having a love, they certainly know how to pull on your heart strings. Xx
I think your videos are just awesome. Your up close video shots make learning very easy. Your videos make me want to come Australia to meet you in person and check out your shop. Could you do a video about replacing front pockets on a pair denim jeans. I have a few of my favorite jeans in need of this and can’t seem to figure it out. Thank you again. God Bless you and your family.
Just want to thank you for your channel. I have made your grocery bag a few times now and they work out so well. I went to Vinnies and I managed to buy five metres of some sort of polycotton canvas for twenty dollars.
Love Your videos, I spent the weekend making shoe bags in between Mother’s Day visitors, i had to adjust them to fit my large footed sons shoes. Everyone that visited over the weekend was given a bag! Now I’m going to start on these box bags. Lol
Christine, I really enjoy watching your work come together. I certainly will try the zippered boxed bags. I love your fabric choices. Have a wonderful week.
Greetings fro Ireland ♥️ ☘️ 🇨🇮 20:26 I’ve just completed the boxy bag and it only took me 3 hours 🤣👍🏻 Delighted with the results ♥️🙏Your tutorials are so great and inspiring , with your relaxed attitude , I felt nice and calm following your instructions. Tried other tutorials but ended up soo frustrated and just gave up 🤦♀️ Thanks a million Christine , keep up the good work 👍🏻 Xxxooo
Thanks Christine, this video has been very helpful! I particularly liked your tips for production sewing. I think I'll get myself organized to do just that!🌟
I have just made one of these following your tutorial, yes it did take me all day, but I wanted to do it right first time, It came out fantastic, super cute little bag, I am going to fill mine with scrunchies made from the same material and maybe some others that match. Easy peasy christmas stash for the emergency didnt buy a gift visitors :) Loved this tutorial. Thankyou
I love When you give us tips on how to sew multiple at the same time, I like watching When you do it in your videos too. I made your shoe bag in bulk last days, it was awesome. Also made the dog poop bag 😅. I love When im done i have 10 of each.
A very thorough demonstration of a lined boxed bag. In order to speed up production I usually sew a lined flat bag with a centred zipper. Then cut out the corners and sew French seams to box the bag. The French seams are easy to sew and help the bag to keep the box shape. Sew the first line of each corner from the right side and then enclose the raw edges from the lining side, so that the bulk of the seam is on the inside. I also use grosgrain ribbon for the tabs, which reduces the sewing steps. I developed this method when sewing in the hoop based embroidered bags, where I add stitched guidelines for the boxed corners as part of the design. The French seams are completed out of the hoop.
Loved watching this and esp the puppy. Who is sooo cute. I'm new to sewing and want to start making things for family but just enjoy listening to your calm voice while I learn new things. Thanks for sharing your projects and the breakdown of costs. I find that interesting too. I have come to value handmade over the years . They last along longer. Thanks.
The 2nd video I’ve watched of yours. I found you quite by accident and so glad I did. Really good clear instructions and very motivating - thank you and keep the pics of coco coming ❤️❤️
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs you can tell. It made me smile. I have 2 chocolate labs. Brothers, never been a part from each other. One loves tennis balls and the other likes taking it from him.
36:55 sewing is scary because I'm a newbie. Where should I buy the zippers? Spotlight is so expensive. I'd like to make them for my kids as pencil cases 😊 Do you have to buy the right size zipper or you can cut it? Ive never made anything before
Hi i came across one of your videos by accident but i am soooo glad i did as i have now subscribed and have watched quiet a few of your other videos. Now i cant wait till i am better and can try to make one of these cool little bag. I will try to send a pic when i do as it will be my first time sewing a zip but they way you have explained it i really dont know why i have always been scared to try Thank you for all your great makes Nicki, UK 😊
I'd love to see what you make Nicky, and welcome to my channel. We have a Facebook group by the same name where you can share everything with the group too😀
Thank you Christine for sharing your ideas & skills. This little box bag is great. Is there a particular set of measurements for each size? ... 6.5" X 9.5".... cut out square 1.5" 8.5" X 10.5"... cut out square ???????
Hi Jill, I don't have a particular set of measurements, as most of what I do is with remnants and scrap fabric. The cut outs for squares also vary depending on the size of the bags I make. The smaller the bag, the smaller my corners are. I've had anothe ask a similar question on this. I'm wondering if perhaps I should do a video on the varying sizes and corners. What do you think?😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs I think that would be sew helpful for those of us just starting on this amazing journey... My head is buzzing with how to use my scrap fabrics instead of another quilt with 300/ 3.5' squares... not that there's anything wrong with that.......LOL
Thank you !! You have helped me out so much. It’s so easy to follow your instruction. I have been struggling with a farmers apron I am trying to make for my Sister. I have attempted to make 3 so far. But failed! I would love to see a video on a farmers apron. Thank you!
I've added the farmer's apron to the list. Am doing some research on it. If you have a pic in mind, just send me an email, and I'll work something out 😀
Thankyou Christine , you are very gifted in explaining ,thankyou , l will enjoy watching more of your tutorials, may l have some help in different sizing you use please , l struggle in this area , l will enjoy more lessons with you, ( from Australia )
Thanks Patricia. I usually just make my bags out of the scrap fabrics I have available, so don't have any specific size, but I do make sure they are more of a rectangle than a square shape. The cut out on the corners for boxing the bags will determine the depth as well, so I vary that depending on the overall size of the bags. Perhaps I could do a video on different bag sizes and corners? 😀
Hello Christine, thanks for a great video and bag. However, I have made 2 following instructions, although I did use Vlieseline H640 as interfacing in both bags and also included an inner pocket. To be honest, I made the first using a 1/4” seam allowance which made the bag longer and approx 1/2” more shallow. An interesting exercise! My main concern is that the lining is too large inside both bags. It’s so disappointing as the outsides and fabrics are great (William Morris, Strawberry Thief). Any tips how to reduce this to fit snuggly? Would it require cutting the lining fabric smaller ? Many thanks, Michele
I have watched many sewing videos and I must say that you are the best sewing teacher
Oh wow, thank you so much Jacqueline 😁
I watched thousands of videos but yours are completely different! Best teacher, accept my hugs from UK xx
Thank you so much. Hugs appreciated😀

Excellent work! Your little secret about the fish going the wrong way is safe with me, Coco and the entire internet! 😉😜😆
Haha, I'm sure Coco will blab

Thanks Betty. I'm waiting on some embroidery designs to arrive that I think you might enjoy 😁

I use my templates almost daily Charlotte. They're such a timesaver 😀
Christine, I really enjoy watching your work come together. I certainly will try the zippered boxed bags. I love your fabric choices. Have a wonderful week.

Just curious, are the zebra fabric bags the same size and the bird ones you did a tutorial on. They look shorter in height.
36:55 sewing is scary because I'm a newbie. Where should I buy the zippers? Spotlight is so expensive.
I'd like to make them for my kids as pencil cases 😊
Do you have to buy the right size zipper or you can cut it? Ive never made anything before
Check out Op shops for cheap zippers to practice with. You can cut them. Plastic or nylon are better.😀
Love it naming the ball Wilson like the movie 😅 🇨🇦
Haha, we have names for all of Coco's toys 😄

Hello! I just saw your zipped box and I wonder what the measures are if I want to sew a bigger? Thank for a very fine line! Lena from Sweden
It's a good idea to pin the corner and test it before sewing Lena. The bigger you box your cormers, the shorter and fatter your bag will become 😀
Great tutorial, thank you.
Thanks Stefanie😀
Very nice. I will attempt that.
Go for it Darleen 😀

Hello Christine, thanks for a great video and bag.
However, I have made 2 following instructions, although I did use Vlieseline H640 as interfacing in both bags and also included an inner pocket. To be honest, I made the first using a 1/4” seam allowance which made the bag longer and approx 1/2” more shallow. An interesting exercise!
