Moda Mini Charm Bag Tutorial

[@buckleberriequilts5132]

I would so so so LOVE closeups on your items. Really cannot see, for example, differences in the zippers. Thank you.

[@hopecooper3688]

Thanks for the tips and demonstration. The only thing I don’t like are the raw edges on the inside. I will either bind the seams or construct with the outside & lining separately so everything if professionally finished inside!

[@maryackermann]

My thoughts exactly!

[@lynneschultz316]

Such wisdom to make three of them before doing the tutorial. In addition, with your experience making bags in general, you’ve provided the best video on making this bag that I’ve seen. Much appreciated!

[@m0ther0ne]

Thanks for the video and how to use up scraps. I hate raw edges inside a bag. It’s so easy to do it the other way too, and your bag will look so much more professional.

[@gwensmith7024]

I’ve seen this bag pattern circulating - yours are so cute! I love it when you do small projects like this. I make a lot of bags and I agree, foam interfacing and the #5 zippers are an improvement on the pattern. I would also bind the raw seams (I don’t like raw seams); a tiny bit more time but just gives it a more finished look, I think.

[@graciehartzell8713]

Sherri & Chelsi zipper pulls are a NEED!! How cute would the cheater hexi from Strawberry Lemonade or Dresden from Raspberry Summer be?! 😍 This video is so helpful & I can’t wait to make this pouch!

[@DebiP51]

I LOVE your videos!! They’re so clear and easy to follow.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🩷🩷🩷🩷 I’ve been holding off making this pattern but you made easy. Thank you sooooo much 😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🩷🩷🩷 I’m so glad I found your channel.😁🩷

[@sharmainc.9426]

Fantastic tutorial, thanks Sherri🙂🙏

[@lisagilbert8472]

I loved your video on this bag. I so wished I would have seen this before I took a class on it. The applying the zipper on your video was so so much easier and the explanation and showing of how all zippers are not made the same way! I am going to make more of these bags! Thank you! I do wish there were more close up shots, but I just zoom in on the video. Thank you again for the great tutorial!!

[@deniseb9171]

Sherri, I'm new to your channel and have made 10 pouches 👝 from various sources. Your's is very detailed and I've learned some great tips. 😊 TY

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

I love this project. Easy and cute. Thank you, Sherri, for showing us these tips. I am sewing these as gifts. Great! ❤️🧵

[@shirleyvanwieren]

Your tutorials are always excellent and I appreciate your tips and tricks. Thank you!

[@annetteellis4188]

I just bought the kit. Thank you for handy tips

[@brendacarlin625]

Where did you get your kit

[@annetteellis4188]

At Enchanted Quilts in Wichita Falls, Texas

[@Kathleen58]

I just want to say this is a great video. You know the saying feed a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed for the rest of his life. Well you’ve done that for me. I was so scared of zippers before and now it’s so easy and I’m making so many different kinds of bags. You and Chelsi are great! Keep up the great work!😀

[@judymarketos621]

Thank you Sherri for a great tutorial. I am encouraged to try making this!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Morning Sherri and Billy, I really like these little bags, the size and how they’re constructed. They turn out so professional with of course, the beautiful fabrics. 💖 Have a wonderful weekend, 🥰 Chris

[@allisonmccullough6082]

Thank you Sherri for the detailed tutorial - can’t wait to get started!!

[@heidiyazwa6985]

Sherri. Thanks so much for going thru the entire bag. I'm a beginner sewist (is that a word). Lol. Loved loved loved the tips and tricks that you explained in detail. Appreciate you. 🧵

[@margm4]

Excellent instructions. Thanks Sherri 🇦🇺

[@gbyrd1970]

I use soft and stable in mine too. Yours turned out great!

[@patriciaruppert201]

Wonderful tutorial. I like the idea of soft and stable instead of batting. Thank you. ❤️

[@dianemotley]

this is definitely on my list of gifts to make for the holidays. Thank you for the lovely videos, tips and ideas.

[@deliad8826]

Never miss one of your tutorials Sherri! You really invest so much of your time and truly care about sharing tips and tricks with your followers. You want us to succeed at what we make and it shows. Thank you so very much. I am definitely going to make these as gifts.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Afternoon Sherri, What a nice surprise to make this handy little bag, love it. Thank you for sharing a tutorial on making these, 👍❤️🥰 Chris

[@lindakQOV]

Great video. It is always helpful to hear and learn from your experiences. Even small tips will help make these bags very professional looking.

[@joanmcfadyen]

How appropriate! I’ve made one already and have 3 more ready to sew today! I agree that the byAnnies zippers are the best as they allow more room to encase the raw edges in the zipper.

[@deborahgiles8214]

Thank you for the great walk-through of the pattern and all the great tips. I love the attention to detail. Much appreciated!!

[@sandybraun329]

Sheeri....at first I thought 'another bag tutorial on KZbin? But I stayed until the end. I really like this one and you demonstrated it so well. OK, I have to go download the pattern ...thank you Sherri and thank you Moda

[@kaylac3367]

This is great! Looks like a really fun project. And like you said, makes a nice gift! Thanks Sherri ❤️

[@vickioneill1766]

Right after I posted you went to a close up, WOW! THANK YOU!

[@nicolereed2913]

What an excellent video. I made a bag right along with you and it turned out fabulous!

[@Carylanne927]

wow Sherri, you showed all the great tips. Thanks so much

[@susanstraub6374]

You have helped me with a great Christmas gift idea for family and friends 💕. Thank you for all that you, Chelsi, and Billy do also with The Quilting Life videos and podcast. You all never cease to bring a smile to my face and a chuckle to my day. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@nancydouglas3264]

Excellent video!

[@ginettelefebvre8817]

Thank you so much for the detailed directions . Will be easy to follow. Take care and hugs

[@marleneclark4186]

Wonderfully put together tutorial on these cute charming bags. Very much like your added tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing.

[@melindafisher1584]

A great tutorial. I referred back to it as I was making my first bag. Fun to have seen the different options using the mini charms and listen to your tips. So helpful! Thank you.

[@kellydrusk]

Made my first zippered bag - yay! I'm not sure I could have done it without your helpful video! So fun and easy. I have plans to make several more.

[@tracybrewer9640]

I really enjoy all your tutorials. So a huge thank you for bringing them to us. I love the quilt you have in the background by the door. Do you have a tutorial on making it? And if so what is the name of it. Thanks again for posting such beautiful tutorials.

[@ninagillenwater4502]

Thank You, Sherri!!! Love the pattern!!! And thanks so much for the tips, very helpful!!!

[@rachelburgener819]

Hey Sherri I really enjoyed the tutorial👏👏👏 I’ve been really wanting to make a purse as I’m kinda particular about the requirements😆 ya know if you don’t like it you won’t use it… I’ve been watching these little bags all over the place!!! Your tutorial was VERY helpful, Thank you ❤️😀

[@beckyjohnson3161]

Thank you for sharing this tutorial and link. It always takes the mystery out of any project. ❤️❤️❤️

[@laurielasley6568]

Hello, making first bag today. This is a cute little bag, thanks Laurie

[@roseambrose7971]

I love it, can’t wait to try this. Thank you for all the helpful information.

[@pamketron]

Such a fun and pretty bag! Love all of them. Great tips too!!! I make a lot of bags and I never thought to sew the end seams from both sides. It makes sense as it will be double secure. Thanks for this tutorial. 💕🧵

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Sherri! Love these bags & the tutorial/tips. I love the tip about sewing the corners both from the top, then the bottom! I've zig-zagged some seams before, but never sewed both top & bottom. Great stabilizing tip 😊

[@suejameson1517]

Gorgeous! And , Sherri, I have gone to your blog consistently for the Moda Blockheads challenge. Your advice and tips are excellent , love your blocks and your blog is so well laid out!

[@debranorris4331]

Thank you sooo much Sherri for this awesome instructional video for this darling bag!! I made one earlier just using the pattern but your video is so clear and concise and I will be watching it over and over again when making my other bags for Christmas gifts!! Thank you again!!!

[@robintaylor3622]

I ordered the kit from Shabby Fabrics it makes 2 bags. I had never attempted to make a zippered bag. They turned out pretty good and now that I have the pattern I can make them in so many different fabrics. Yes the zipper that came with the kit was harder to sew and turn to top stitch but I took my time with them. The Nantucket Summer fabric and zipper pulls are so pretty.

[@sharizabroski6910]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! Really like your bags and can't wait to make some myself. Great information and, by the way, your Blog!

[@kimberlygwinnup4348]

Love those! Thank you Sherri!

[@beckyscheller9358]

Loved the directions and tips. Thanks for sharing

[@pamelacasey1699]

Thank you for a great pouch tutorial! Great tips and I love using the Soft and Stable also!

[@starbrown1219]

These bags are great. Thank you for sharing your tips.

[@janiewilliams5803]

I am a fairly new subscriber. You do such an excellent job with your explanations of each step! Looking forward to watching more. I have already put to use your tip about marking the length of the border, but not cutting there until after sewing. I think that was table runner video. Thanks for all you share :)

[@DebLB12]

Love this tutorial!❤ Is there a tutorial on how to sew the squares together and then on to the soft and stable?

[@mariannekleppner8923]

Great video!

[@loddyseams1234]

Great instructions. Thank you for the detailed tutorial

[@tearose3763]

thank you i loved this!

[@cynthiaputnam5538]

Great video. How far apart are your stitching lines on the white fabric?

[@sandidavis45]

Thank you for a super video! Love Annie's zips, and I used an overlock stitch to finish the ends. If you have a simpler way to get those zip tabs on the tape please share!

[@carmenbailey1560]

Great gift ideas, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@tearose3763]

This is so cute! Thank you or bringing this to us❤

[@georgycolson9671]

Thank you so much!

[@QuiltyJill]

Great project to practice some FMQ!

[@kathyphillips1537]

So cute. I will make one today. I also love byannie products. I will use my Emma charm pack.

[@chrissyoldfield8566]

Very nice tutorial! Thank you!

[@zoraidavargas8995]

Love it I will get the PDF you are a great teacher.

[@RuthStash]

Thank you for the tutorial. I watch your podcast and enjoy them but would love to see more tutorials also. Do you think I can overlock edges instead of zigzag?

[@tonimiller4340]

Ruth S: I was wondering the same thing, but decided that the edges were so short that it wouldn’t really be worth the time and bother to serge them.

[@lisbethbradke9100]

Your sewing machine might have an overlock stitch on it that works well too. That is what I use with bag seams.

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Lovely bag thank you💐

[@SharonCarbine]

Great tips, Sherri! Thank you. :-D

[@hekeseme]

Great tutorial…off to cut some bags for gifts….thanks!

[@dbeckman6329]

Thank you for your tutorials! I would like to see more tutorials rather than chat videos!

[@ladybridey8559]

The small piece of the zipper can be used to make tabs!

[@jowhite4259]

Thank you for great tutorial and the tips, very helpful. Is this your pattern for the patchwork bag on the door handle in the video? I didn’t see it in your Etsy shop, would love to make that also.

[@shirleymcinerny3354]

What brand are your scissors they are really good ones

[@vickioneill1766]

Sherri did you finally get a new sewing machine? If so what brand & model please!

[@Jennifer85987]

I love the Soft & Stable, but my machine does not like too much thickness though

[@vickioneill1766]

I wish you had more close up shots. Thank you for finally. I have it on my tv but I see so much of the table instead of details.🙄

[@nancydouglas3264]

Where do you buy Annie zippers? I can only find them online by the yard.

[@isabeldiaz181]

Very nice project, but I couldn't find the free pattern 😞

[@momdad8806]

What is the bag on your door? I would like that pattern or know how you made it

[@heatherslade2566]

Can you make it bigger
