thank you for a wonderful bag pattern you did a great demonstation

I would like the bottom to be topped stitched. I am old school and we had to press every seam. Would it give a crisper edge to the side and bottom top stitching?

Thank you! Awesome job as always!!❤

Love the bag, it is really cute and great fabric choices. I would leave the base stitching off and as far as the boxed corners I prefer the method you used here as I find it more accurate and hate it when my seams come undone after cutting boxes out. Definitely making one of these. Would make great gifts too. Thanks again x

Fabulous! 😊

Christine I cant😂 find any measurements for giant travel bag

Christine I can’t thank you enough for explaining things the way you do. I have been watching video after videos on how to sew this zipper at the top. You have nailed it. You do such an awesome job explaining this. It was like a light bulb going off in my head. I am so excited to make this bag. I prefer the method you are using with this bag. I am neither a beginner or expert. I have had issues boxing corners when I cut them first.

Take a black permanent marker and cover up the white thread on the black zipper. Works like a charm.

Thank you, you’ve simplified putting a zip in for me.

Hi Christine - I have a few shirts that need shortening and this video is just what I was looking for. Long time follower of your videos on your home management and sewing projects. Please make more of these videos on alterations. However, I have a question: How do you measure a shirt that has an extra long back (compared to the front) to shorten both the front and back equally? I think the extra long backs look so silly! Thank you and long may you thrive 🙏🙏

Many thanks for this Christine - didn’t realise you could use petersham or curtain header tape for this, and I have plenty of both 😊 I’ve just discovered in UK you can get 38mm Banrol for £1.95 per metre from TheLiningCompany.co.uk, based in Southend. Happy sewing everyone from a Granny In Scotland 🥰

I really like this bag Christine, I would love to know if it would be possible to do an addition to enable an umbrella slot in the base?

Great tutorial, I will try this out but I will topstitch outer and lining together to about 1.4" from each edge then after the bag is turned through go back and topstitch the one end of the bag opening where the slider rests when the bag is closed. Hope this makes sense.

I love that you admit to not being perfect and make mistakes, too. You inspire me!

Wow! THat was so cool. I loved watching your process from designing to finishing. THat is a heck of a bag. I couldn't lift it if I filled it, lol. TY for excellent video.

I love this tutorial. I'm trying it in a mini version and your instructions are so concise. Could you share info on your lighter? It looks so easy, one-handed and safe. I've searched but haven't found anything like it. Thank you!

Beautiful bag. Thanks Christine..😊

I like to cut after for my boxed corners

I think that cutting the box corners out makes for a better chance of getting the side equal. I look forward to your videos so much! Thanks for all you do.

I'm just starting to sew some little projects. This was so helpful!

Yes, top stitch the bottom edges.

L❤️VE your skewer idea! This is what makes you the BEST ! L❤VE option #3.

I have cut box corners before and it sometimes turns out a little wonky. This method of cutting them out after is much easier for me. Thank you for sharing this technique.

Another great bag Christine! I prefer to cut out the box corners and if seam allowance is taken into consideration, it is a fail proof method! The other method has gone awry for me. ❤ 🇨🇦

I love your idea of using fusible tape on your handles! Thank you!

Awesome 🧵✅

Thanks for your videos I've learnt to sew this year off you tube and have made a few of your projects. Hut made them my own versions. Some work out other I find harder like bags with round corners using bias tape I get it ihorribly wrong 😆

I lie learning both methods of boxed corners I prefer not cutting them I get better results more even. Wonderful video I part made a bad yesterday like your one but different. I had no idea how to finish the top of the bag and will try a recess zipper option I used a beautiful fat quarter with purples and blue with French writing on it and some black fabric for sides amm using webbing for strap and inside two pockets on each side. One sewnin in parts the other size of a cell phone. Also incl a keychain with a clip on it so you can remove it

Hey Christine, my granddaughter just got back last night from your beautiful country. She is in high school and was invited over for a Pole Vault Meet. She had a wonderful time.......I tried to tell her that It was a rule that all high schoolers going had to take their grammys.........well that did not go over well, she is intelligent butI had fun teasing her.

In the UK, it is hemming tape and there is a trade name of Wundaweb or Wonderweb. Love this bag!

Very cute bag ❤

Another cute bag!
