In my opinion, your instruction is far and away the most detailed, clear, and enjoyable to watch. I have made several of your projects and have loved the process. Thank you and Lord bless you, Mona

Thanks Debbie I learn a lot fr u Godbless

[@vdavies926]

After many years of sewing I think I've been a bit of a busker, relying on my natural creative ability to make all manner of things. so it's good to learn some new skills. Thank you for your informative and relaxing presentations, especially as I watch most of them late at night. Tired now, going to bed. Thanks again.

[@PetraRobinson-gm8nh]

Oh my, this tutorial is just what I needed. I have a fear of zippers and also not done quilting * much * Thank you SO much. I have learned so very much from your Video Tutorials already and one day, I might even try bias binding * eeek *

Just love to watch you sew Debbie it put a smile on my face.

[@lilianwainwright5043]

Thank you once again Debbie for this tutorial. I have just made a quilt (not finished yet) with your Little Birds fabric that you are using, I am so pleased with it, the fabric is really good quality and has been a pleasure to work with. Xx

[@slim1one]

Wow this is an amazing tutorial and the bag turned out beautifully!

[@suzisaintjames]

If your project is small or you can't find gridded interfacing, draw lines on any iron on interfacing... The heavier the interfacing, the stiffer the bag. (I'd use regular old pencil as I wouldn't want sharpie to show through light or sheer fabrics.) ❤🌅🌵😷

[@suzisaintjames]

Ps. You need your final lines to be accurate, BUT because the lines on the interfacing won't show, you can adjust them as many times as you need, if you are drawing them on yourself. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@suzisaintjames]

Ps. If your project is large, print a grid on a sheet of paper. If using a thinner interfacing, you'll probably be able to see the grid through the interfacing making it easy to trace the lines onto the interfacing. (there are many free grid downloads on the internet.) 💖🌞🌵😷

[@martakurtesi8905]

Sehr schön Arbeit Vielen Dank

[@AnnieWilks55]

Inspired! Thanks so much for this Debbie! Can you please recommend a quality rotary blade? The ones I’m using at the moment blunt very quickly!

[@debbieshore]

I buy a non branded blade from Amazon... or Olfa if I feel like splashing out...

[@suzisaintjames]

Not sure what size box bottom? Start small like Debbie showed, but don't cut off the triangle. Sew all four corners then turn right side out. Bottom too small! Turn wrong side out and sew a half-inch inside the previous stitching (making the triangle bigger)(no need to take out the old stitching)... On all four corners, turn right side out. Too big? Turn right side in and sew outside the previous stitching, making the triangle smaller (this time you will have to remove the"too big" stitching.) Once your bottom is the right size, you can cut off the triangle, but truthfully I never cut them off. One out of laziness, and two... If the stitching was ever to break (if you cut it off) there would be a hole. By leaving the triangle, never lose your things. But the in the end cutting or not cutting the triangle looks pretty much the same. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@angeharsant9562]

Thank you Debbie just caught up with this one. How many 3 inch squares did you cut for this project. I am fairly new, so need all the help. Take care Ange x

[@angeharsant9562]

I think it was 30...

[@donnaoliver5642]

If one can’t find the fusible quilters grid, can you use the 505 spray on the non fusible quilters grid instead to fuse the 3” squares onto? Thank you for any help you can give me.

[@debbieshore]

They're all on my website, www.debbieshoresewing.com

[@jackieoverton5695]

Love it but what are the final dimensions of the bag? What size is the front and backs before sewing?

[@5kristy71]

What is your technique to sew past those zipper tabs, as it never seams to lay out flat when you turn it right side out. Would it be the seam allowance you sew when going past the zipper tab?

[@debbieshore]

They never turn perfectly flat, just push the tabs towards the lining as you sew

[@judibennett132]

How do you keep the interfacing from sticking to your iron with all the excess on the edges?

[@judithkitchingman4419]

Do you think a bag the same size would be ok with 5” squares. I have a charm pack that I don’t really want to waste the lovely fabric. I wondering if it will look ok with less squares because they are 5” . TIA

[@kateshuttleworth8053]

Hi Debbie, I am new to sewing , do you need to wash this fabric first? if so is handwahing OK? Thanks

[@debbieshore]

Unless I'm dressmaking I don't tend to pre wash, and not for something like this that would probable never be washed, I tend to spot-clean bags...
