Easy Project Bag Tutorial

[@pegsenarighi1664]

I hope to see your tutorials demonstrating construction of the other style project bags very soon !❤

[@RedCrossStitcher]

I plan to release one when I get back from vacation. The beginning of June it should release ❤️ Thank you 🥰

[@diannehafterson18]

Wonderful job on your very first tutorial! I wouldn’t change a thing! Can’t wait to see more of your bag tutorials. The more bags, the better! Thank you!

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so very much for watching ❤️

[@cheryla786]

Thank you for repeating and going over things a second time. I am new to all of this, so I appreciate this being done.

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@leonieryan3139]

Great tutorial, couldn't fault it, you made every step very clear. Will refer back to it, thank you!! 😊

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so very much ❤️

[@erikacook939]

French seams would work too.

[@gwensmith7024]

This is a really cute bag - just love the patchwork bags! It’s great to be able to use a whole mini charm pack, too. Your tutorial is very clear and concise. Thank you for the cutting sizes in your drop down. I really prefer bags with no raw edges inside. I look forward to seeing you make one with the binding (no raw edges).

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much for watching. My preference bag is the one with binding, I think it just adds a little pop to the bag. I will definitely be doing more tutorials showing the different methods ❤️

[@tamarabrick6386]

This video helped so much. I never knew how to add a zipper and felt very intimidated. Thank you!

[@RedCrossStitcher]

I am so glad it helped you and thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@amandamerritt5709]

I’d love to see a bag beginning to end. I just discovered your channel and I think you’re doing a great job. The only suggestion I have is to show more of what is being done with your hands. Overall wonderful video!

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much ❤️ I do plan on a video that is a sew with me video but the filming angle is a little bit of a challenge. I appreciate your feedback so much, thank you 🥰

[@minja30]

I would love to see you make different versions of this bag, please!

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much! I am definitely going to do more tutorials ❤️

[@joreynolds5384]

I really enjoyed the video on bag making. I hope you make more.

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so very much! ❤️ I do plan to do more tutorials 🥰

[@janiceprice7403]

All options are pretty and well done. I think the top zipper is the easiest to get your project in and out of. I like the look of the zipper on the front best with no binding. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so very much ❤️

[@dianr4210]

Precious project. I've been thinking I might put together some simple project baskets for when I have company come. The basket could include all the items needed to make the bag and a set of instructions. Maybe a picture of one I've made using the same pattern as a sample. This would be a perfect one to start with. I can foresee making a basket for a table runner, possibly another basket for a lap top "Trip Around The World". Even a simple sofa pillow with some of my orphaned blocks.

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so very much 🥰 I am going to do the fabric baskets next as a tutorial ❤️

[@LiljaMBehr]

I learned much from your tutorial. Your explanations were clear, the sound, lighting, and camera angles were fine. I would love to watch more tutorials on bags of all kinds. I have avoided bindings in my bags … they have been way too demanding and bulky. Thanks for your efforts.

[@sharonkaystem8249]

Enjoyed your tutorial. You have a very pleasing voice. I got a little impatient when you would say the same thing 3-4 times. I have been sewing for almost 50 yrs, so I am sure the newly starting ones would be very happy. I will continue to follow. I still learn all the time.

[@dianemckoon7808]

That was great! Just like I do mine. Would you suggest using a walking foot if one was available? I am going to try and do one with a French seam....? Thanks again Have a blessed weekend ❤

[@RedCrossStitcher]

My machine has a built in walking foot but if you have one it does help when quilting. Just lengthen your stitch. You can do a French seam but the binding on the outside it easy as well to do for a seamless finish. I am going to do another tutorial showing that method. Have a blessed weekend as well and thank you for watching and spending time with me today 🥰

[@christy428texas]

Enjoyed watching your bag tutorial. Look forward to seeing future ones - especially liked the bag with the patchwork block. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoyed your project bag video. I have done by Annie project bags with binder and soft/stable, but good to have a simple, quicker way to get one done with your method. I always have left over batting. I have struggled with the zipper ends, so next time will try the tabs. I would like to see you do others to pick up up some tips and ideas.

Love these kinds of tutorials. You made it look easy. I love sew with me videos. Step by step is how I learn. I’m interested in making a bag for each wip I have so I definitely need more. Lol. I like the top zip as well as the no binding for making them quick.. For gifts the binding and front zippers might be nice though. Look forward to your next tutorial. It’s taken me way to long for the one in I started a liver a month ago. It’s still in process but I don’t have much time in front of my sewing machine latley. Hopefully soon. Thanks again.

First time at your channel and I enjoyed your tutorial. I'll be making a few of these for Christmas gifts. Thank you so much. I'd love to see a tutorial on the binding version of this bag. Also, I didn't understand what you meant about not stitching over the tabs you sewed on to the zipper ends. You tried so hard and a did a great job on your tutorial. I just couldn't see or understand that small part. I'm sure I'll figure it out when I do the actual sewing. Can't wait to see more videos from you!

[@RedCrossStitcher]

Thank you so very much ❤️ On the tabs for the zipper, once you sew the tabs to the end of the zipper and are ready to attach it to the bag, you center it right in the middle. That is why the zipper is cut 1” shorter than the width of the bag. Once the zipper is installed and you are ready to sew the bag together make sure the zipper is open and when sewing down the side don’t catch the tab of the zipper in your side seam. That is why I left 1/2” on each side. Sew your sides together with a little less than 1/2” seam allowance. I hope that made sense 🥰 Thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@Stitching_grandma]

Could this be finished with a French seam, eliminating the raw inside edges? If desired, of course.

[@RedCrossStitcher]

You could but would need to account for the extra seam allowance to do it so your zipper would need to be at least 1/2” shorter to accommodate the 1/4” seam on each side, if that makes sense 😊
