Thank you for going back to the basics. You're such a good teacher and so easy to listen to. Love all your videos🥰

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you so much Kelly😊

[@CathyHanlin]

#3 pouch (1" bottom) is one I have often used for a little girl's purse by adding half inch d-rings and a 22/28" strap. A quick and happy received gift. Love, love your teaching! My momma would have been Your #1 fan! ❤😊

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's lovely Cathy. Thank you😁

[@alteriormotiveswithcarrie8546]

This is a fantastic tutorial! So clear, and now I understand the difference between flat and boxed corners and how boxing the corners affects the size of the finished bag. I feel like I really understand the construction now! Thank you so much!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's fantastic Carrie. Thank you so much😀

[@johnmunroe8812]

Made 2 RN bags with set In strips for bottoms and zippers, thanks to your video's. Oh yes I boxed corners too. Sure proud hadn't done zipper since high school 50 years ago, tell mum thanks.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's awesome John. Well done!😀

[@JudithBrummett]

I am 59 and my Mom's caretaker so yeah I get into trouble with her lol... But mostly I just get sad with her lol. I am SO!!!! very glad for you that you still have yours and can "get into trouble". Keep it up TFS the video.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Yeah, I'm glad she's still around to give me grief Judith. I won't tell her that though😁😁

[@raeboyd5596]

I agree with and can't say it any better than the other ladies have. It's like reading a greeting card in the store and finding the one that perfectly says what you couldn't have said so eloquently. I've been watching gifts for quilters, knitters and crocheters and the number one thing I see in every channel is bags to hold their work. Me daughter in law knitted me some baskets and it baffled me why they don't knit their own bags and baskets? But I think I may try my hand at making her one for Christmas because you are such a good teacher. If I want a 4 to 6 inch bottom I need to start with a block of material that much taller and 3 inches wider.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Rae. When working out the boxing, don't forget to include the seam allowance too😁

[@sherrieivanov5481]

You are so funny. I’m in my late 50s myself. My mom reminds me she is my mom and can guide me whenever she wants. My fathers mom just turned 101 two days ago and still lives by herself.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

The women in our family like to live long as well. My grandmother lived until she was 101. Hopefully I can still sew then😀

[@debbiekollar7508]

Another great tutorial! I’m in the middle of making 20 of these for the nursing home. Those little dears need a pouch for their little things. So glad I’m doing them right!😅😊 Glad you still have a mum!

Oh how I understand your mom. I am 71 and started sewing probably 60 years ago. Oh, how sewing has changed. Trying to sew like they do today is like learning how to ride a bicycle all over again. Love your show and ideas.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Cathy🙂

[@queenslanddiva]

I'm a bit older than you, but I would LOVE to be still getting in trouble from my mum!! You're so lucky, as I'm sure you know x

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

haha, It's not so bad getting in trouble now. Probably because I'm not wagging school anymore🤣

[@marlenemontoya9226]

So happy. I was feeling overwhelmed because I don’t use continuous zips yet.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I'm trying to incorporate more of these regular zips in my videos for people that don't use the continuous zips Marlene. My most recent video for a boxed bag shows you how to put them in using the regular type. You can then use that method to install them whenever you see me use the continuous. Just use something a couple of inches longer to easily do the topstitching😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3SkeaWjpcmhpa8si=ph2McILgOc3ujGFd

[@marlenemontoya9226]

I’m trying to complete the big boxy but need help with the regular zip. Please and thank you.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

@marlenemontoya9226 Check the instructions for the link I sent you earlier today, but use a zip about 2 or 3 inches longer than what you need. If you're still stuck, let me know, and I'll try to do a video during the week 🙂

[@traceyluvscraft]

Thank you for taking the time to show each step, I wish I could show yummy bag, came out so beautiful maybe the best I have ever made. I used to sew a ton, and stopped for many years just picked it back up, your videos are fantastic, love my double tape!!! Your voice is lovely to listen to as well. Very relaxing! Thank you again!!

[@lindamcneely]

thank you so glad you are not using the continuous zip. I buy the others and love them and it gets so frustrating when people try and show you something using them instead of the regular zips.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks linda. Mum's happy too now😁

[@jetbossard7923]

Thank you for the different choices. Thanks to your Mum for bringing such a wonderful gal n awesome teacher into the world. I'm sure she is quite proud of you.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you Jet 😊

[@pjinlaca5489]

Thanks so much Christine for giving me the numbers for the bags. It helps me to figure out how to adjust the corners and get the width and height I need. You talked about making the top of the bag squared so that the bag is completely squared. If you would make one of those, I’d REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I’m learning sooooo much from you 👏👏👏👏👏👏. You’re absolutely a Godsend to my guild Boutique’s efforts. I can take what I’ve learned, and help others with their makes as well. I’ll post on your Facebook page when we begin to complete items to share our progress. Thank you again for all you do!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That'll be great PJ. We're looking forward to seeing what you all make. As for the boxed corners at the top, I have done a few boxy videos. I think I also have one planned out in my pile too😊

[@patriciajrs46]

My mom has been gone for 23 years. I miss her everyday. So many times I wish I could tell her something, or ask her something. You are so lucky. Thank you for all that you do.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you Patricia😁

[@andreac.1277]

Thanks for this great video! I really enjoyed how you showed the 3 pouch variations and how boxing the corners changed how they looked. I also liked seeing the regular zippers.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

You're welcome Andrea. I hope it's helped😄

[@Alicia652]

I really like adding the tabs to the zippers because they seem to look neater and more professional to me. The continuous zippers are handy, but I still struggle with getting the zipper pull inserted, even after watching your video demonstrating how to do it. 😮 But I suppose you could add the pulls first and then cut them to the length you want and also add the tabs! I think I will give that a try the next time I make bags!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's a good idea Alicia. If you're using tabs, the pulls would need to go on first too😀

[@bigfranksworld]

Excellent tutorial, Christine. The lining has pretty much always been confusing to assemble to me, until today. You explained it perfectly as usual. Thank you!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's awesome Frank. I'm glad this has helped😀

[@terrigreuling7413]

Thank you for this video. Mom is right, not all of us use continuous zippers.

Yep! I finally listened to her. I'll use more regular zips in the future😀

Thanks so much for this side by side to show different outcomes and sames, especially the size comparisons at the end with the boxed corners. I’ve never tried continuous zips yet, because I have a large stash of regular, but I have a commercial purse that I’d love to change the zip from one way to double zip. I’ve used the purse long enough that if my tweet is a failure, it will be ok, if it works, I’ll get a couple more years with it.
