You are the funnest person I never met and wish I had!!!! THANK YOU!!! My kids loved this so much and now everyone needs their own for the pool... so I'm on it 😉😍😜

[@MADEEveryday]

Hahah. Thanks! I'm happy to hear that 😃😃 And yes! These would be fun pool bags! Have a great day! - Dana

[@denisedorsey2889]

I’ve missed you! Your videos were key to me successfully teaching young girls to sew. Three out of my 5 students begged for sewing machines for Christmas, and got them. Your projects are so beginner friendly and fun to do. Never underestimate your influence. ❤️

[@peggymahabir6108]

You were missed indeed. Love the beautiful fabrics

Hi Dana, thanks for the video and the pattern! I would like to make the straps longer, I can just add a couple of inches, right? Would I still measure down 10" from the strap top? Did that make sense? 🤔

[@seaneenwilson594]

Thank you so much! Now that I am retired I decided to revisit the crafts my Mom taught me. Your instruction for the reversible tote bag is so friendly and easy to follow. I decided to hand sew it (which means it is not done yet), but I have arrived at the right side out stage - yay! And end up watching the next step in your video before I move on. Thank you for being welcoming and providing great instructions.

Great pattern, thank you for all the ideas and how toos. Trying to get back into sewing after over 20 years. Not that I was very experienced just things we needed. Love the way you teach and the great things you make. 💜

And thank you so much for doing this on a smaller machine! Love that you made a point to do that. ❤️

Ooo - I’m excited to make some of these. Thank you so much. My grandkids have benefited from your WONDERFUL patterns. And your tutorials have made everything so clear and fun (as your peppy voice guides me along in my head 😄)

I love quick and easy projects, I’m a newbie at sewing after a year I’ve learned so much. Love your videos thank you

[@MegaBpop]

Thank you for the detailed videos. I especially appreciate the camera view when you sewing. I get intimidated when it comes to sewing, but I usually feel I can do it when YOU do a video. You explain so well and you approach imperfections like no big deal. When you come across an imperfection, I feel normal. I wish you had more videos. Missed seeing your videos.

[@jeannettegory8185]

So glad you put your information on the pattern. I couldn't remember how to assemble this six months after making my first bags, but I could easily find the tutorial. Thank you.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Dana, I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous Boho bags. I’m going to make one for my best friend. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@phxgidget]

Making this was so fast & easy! It was a chance for me to try the sturdy outdoor type fabric. It was tough pulling through (I got a blister) but it really holds up nicely! Next time I'll shorten (or lengthen?) the 10" strap sewing line to hopefully create a bigger opening to pull through. I can't wait to make more of these! My friends & family will be getting plenty for book bags, dance bags, sports bags, grocery bags....yeppers! :)

[@tamracardenas1268]

So excited to start seeing your videos again!! Love this bag. I'll be making it soon!

[@karenpack8111]

I made this bag today. I absolutely love it!! Your tutorial was very easy to follow. Enjoy watching you make different things. Glad I found your channel!!

Ahhhh, I fell in love with your easy-to-follow video and started right away. I’ve always wanted a bag like this and thought it would be easy for me. However,it took me longer than imagined, and after a week passed I decided it wasn’t you or your great video that made me take so long (it’s still not done but almost) it was me! I’m an 80 year old Nana with much hand arthritis but I’m determined. I am going to enjoy using this bag I made myself! Thank you!!! ❤

[@alysonvargas4391]

Good to see you back again watching your vids made me start Sewing 🪡 hope to see more vids ! You are a good teacher !

[@katielove9932]

So glad you came back! You look GREAT! This is the kind of bag I need to know how to make for someone as a gift. Thank you for showing how to make it. It's easier to follow your lead than to try to figure out a pattern. HAPPPY DAY!

[@MADEEveryday]

Oh good! Yes, these are a fun style of bag to make! You can do a variation on the bag also by cutting the handles extra long and tying them in knots instead of sewing them together. You'd want to finish off the edges of the ties, but that's the basic idea :) Or add pockets, etc. I hope you have fun sewing! - Dana

[@peggymahabir6108]

[@oodles_of_noodles.]

Thank you, this is a wonderful project for young beginners ( or beginners of any age ). Thank you for not sewing over pins. It literally makes me feel sick when I see people doing it. I have a variety of machines and I'd not want any broken but I sure would hate damage and an expensive repair on my sewing/embroidery combo machines. So many people think it's OK and it really isn't. I'll let you know how my granddaughter goes with her first tote :)

[@Jennijenniwcitt]

I am brand new at sewing and you’ve helped me a lot! Thank you! I agree with another viewer, I’m going to add pockets for keys and a phone!

Thank you for clearly explaining and showing us everything we need to make and actually finish beautiful projects. You're so down to earth and awesome I feel like I'm hanging out with my girlfriends having a sewing session. Which makes whatever project I'm taking on a lot less daunting and stressful. Finding your Channel completely renewed my love of sewing and creating. I had gotten so overwhelmed and down on myself due to lots of failures. I literally just bought a sewing machine, fabric, thread and some zippers one day, and assumed that that was all I needed (🤦🏽oy vey) and it would be a breeze. Anyways I just wanted to thank you for your extremely helpful content and tips and you being you because you're awesome and I cannot wait to make this bag!!! 🤗😁😊

Oh my gosh, Micah! Thank you so much for sharing all of that! That makes me so happy to hear! And yes, I know that frustration of a project that's not working....or when you watch a video and they don't explain that one little complicated detail. Super frustrating. I try to include all those tiny details for you in my videos, so you feel like you can really do it. So it's makes me happy to hear that you appreciate those things! Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. And I'm thrilled that you feel excited to sew again. Have a great time making a bag!...or whatever your next project might be :) Have a great day - Dana

[@desertbruinfan]

I sew three of the straps all the way to about 3 inches from the top. The fourth strap I sew one side to the same 3 inches from the top. I leave the other side open and turn through that larger opening and the just have one side to sew together before sewing the top seam of each strap. Makes it so much easier to turn and also get them all to match. Love this pattern and have made many. Most of mine have pockets inside and out. Thank you!

[@StuffsewnbyJoan]

Glad yours turned out OK. I posted a challenge that I had above. Not sure what I did wrong.

I make and sell Kitchen Boa’s at the Farmer’s Market. A client asked me if I would make her a hippie boho bag. I told her I have never made one and wasn’t even sure I could. She had all the confidence in me that I lacked in myself. After the market I came home and started looking for patterns. Could not find one that was right. So, came to KZbin and found this video. I have cut out all of the fabric but haven’t sewn it yet. Since this was to be a crossbody bag I lengthened the straps quite a bit. I hope it still turns out. Only thing is I won’t be able to measure the strap for 10” before sewing. You have made it look so easy except the part of turning the bag right side out. Thank you
