Love your sewing table setup

[@bizburgess1947]

Is there anything more gratifying than flipping a finished bag. Your label is so cute.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

It is my favourite part of the process ❤

[@DeniseTalbot]

Loved this! I will be making some!!

[@lynnethyne5374]

I have made one of these and I love it

[@barbaraa6098]

Great tutorial. Love these baskets. Thanks for sharing all the great instructions. You are so easy to listen to.

[@delrinewebster7021]

Thank you for sparing your precious time in teaching us this beautiful basket, really do appreciate, from Sri lanka 🇱🇰 God bless you,

[@lisapratte9165]

I saw another bag online that had a tutorial and said to read the pattern, then watch the video to have a clearer idea of making the bag, I loved it, but your video was better, I just don't want to watch the video so many times to the bag, I will watch one more time and try to take notes.. I loved your bag!

[@patriciamoller3060]

Very perfect little sewing bag , thankyou

[@lyndavaughn1187]

Very nice tutorial.

Awesome tutorial! Gracias from Dallas Texas! 😊

[@monadacosta-williams7016]

Thanks for the tutorial. You’re so thorough and professional - the very best. My sewing machine is coming out. Thanks

[@debraroser985]

Lovely

[@saradrewett]

Thank you for such clear and thorough process explanation. I've watched a couple of others and yours is simple and very effective. Now happily making baskets for Christmas gifts!

[@shulamussnug7120]

I’ve watched many videos on making these baskets. This is the best! Now I want to figure out different sizes.

[@rebeccapatterson2023]

Great tutorial, I am a learner stitcher with the sewing machine and I just made myself a basket using your instructions so super proud of myself

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

oh, that is Wonderful! I am glad you are sewing and enjoying it :) thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, it is always nice to here from viewers :) have a wonderful and happy sewing :)

[@lindasattler5659]

I guess I will be trimming my seams from now on. Never realized how important it is. Thanks!,

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

It really does make a difference 😊

[@fificrossnails]

Another great tutorial, very easy to follow. I’ve made nine of these now for various rooms in my house, and added a pom pom trim on two of them…thanks for sharing!😊

[@madscientist2782]

I have followed you for several years now and have made many of these fabric baskets, all colors and designs. You are such a wonderful instructor and I just love hearing your accent. Keep up the good work, I so admire you.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Thank you so very much for your kind words. You have no idea how much I needed to hear them

[@tonyaalston9956]

Very cute!

[@lizbee726]

I like using a method that attaches the lining to the bottom of the bag because my linings always end up sitting loosely inside. I tend to make my linings a little bit smaller so they fit more smoothly. Good tutorial for beginners. 😁👍💕

[@angiolinadatri647]

Perché non in italiano?

[@angiolinadatri647]

Ie misere,troppe chiacchiere

[@leahhaydel8774]

Hi Liz Bee, is there a tutorial that show how to attach the lining to the bottom, I would like to try but haven’t found any instructions that use that approach Thanks

[@jacquiefantinato2401]

So glad to have a sewing tutorial from you. I hope you have more on the way. Thanks 🙏

[@imeldasilva4018]

[@karolhall699]

Love your basket. I’ve seen a couple of examples of these and love them all. Love that you have your turning point on the side of the bag rather then the top. Really makes for a neater bag.

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Nicole, can you give me estimate of the finished measurements of the inside of this one when starting with your 10" x 18" pieces? Thank you!

[@LYoung-op5ub]

Thanks. I also found out I am using too hot an iron for my interfacing.

[@alisondrage972]

Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

You are welcome...glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@nancyceci2576]

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for your clarity and style. I want to teach this project to a sewing group, beginners to experienced, so things can't be too complicated and it's nice if the project can be completed during our alloted time.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Thank you...so glad you enjoyed it...be sure to share my channel with your friends 😊 thank you for stopping by ❤

[@maryball2011]

So much fun! Just don’t do like I did and pick an outer fabric with a repeating image- it’ll be upside down on one side- oops!

[@jalieeen]

[@amandahopper9334]

Thanks! I’m looking into makin fabric bags for our bedroom cupboard as all the ones I’ve seen are crap! But it needs to be bigger than your one

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

You can make them in bigger sizes, adjust your length of starting fabrics, and may l suggest you use foam interfacing if you go bigger; l have a pattern for larger sizes with handles in three dimensions. You can find it here www.darvanaleedesignsstudio.com/product-page/dds-storage-cubes-with-handles Thank you for watching and taking the time to watch and leave a comment...have a wonderful day and happy sewing. ❤😊❤

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

You're welcome 😊

[@craftyowlcreations3185]

Hi Thank you so much for this tutorial, so easy to follow and concise. I have made my first basket but found when I turned it the right way out my stiffener went wrinkly. Have I used the wrong thing? The one I have is quite stiff and the basket stands up beautifully but wrinkly.

[@bizburgess1947]

So fun to be back in the sewing room with you again. I am still behind, but sewing and listening to you teach it is wonderful having a friend in the sewing room again.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

[@pixiecora2212]

Nice tutorial! If I make a bigger basket, do I use the same 1 1/2 square at the bottom corners or do I make that bigger as well?

[@lisapratte9165]

I was told you need to change the square size depending on the size of the bag.

[@beckymoffitt7705]

Haven’t been on in a while. Good to see you! Love the basket.

[@dasielin]

Really like this tutorial. Could you share with me where you get your little tags?? Thank you so much for a great video.

[@cindycolvin2916]

I think I have been using too hot of an iron with the fleece😳 it always ripples. Thanks for pointing that out

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Yes, a hot iron can cause all sorts of issues for interfacing...I always use a warm iron...it may take a little longer, but better than it getting ripples in your project :) thanks for taking the time to watch and be part of the channel :) till next time happy sewing :)

[@5kristy71]

I would like to use hexagons, would I sew them all together to make a fat quarter size then use the fusible interfacing and open all the seams?

[@wandavandeman3635]

Just wondering if you could leave your little pull through space at the top and then close it with your top stitch,

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Hi Wanda, Yes you can, but I find this way gives you a better and more professional finish...you can also top-stitch the the opening in the lining if you are just making it for yourself :) thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment I appreciate you being part of the channel :) till Next time happy sewing :)

Thank you that helps. Again great tutorial.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

@@Mercedes-mn8sc not a problem :) have fun making your new baskets :)

[@marycasey6247]

Could I make a bigger basket? What’s the largest you have made? Do you have measurements?

[@akapody]

Hi. I made one of your basket/bags and it came out great. I have one question... You said if the fabric you ironed isn't flat you run your clapper over it. Sorry but I'm from the Midwest in the US and I have no idea what a clapper is. 🙄😄

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

A tailors clapper sets seams and creates pleats and folds...but l use it as an ironing tool as well.. l hope this helps...l will have a link so you can see what it looks like amzn.to/2QqDRPb

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

amzn.to/2QqDRPb

[@akapody]

@@darvanaleedesignsstudio Thank you so much. I never heard of it before. I love learning new things. 😁

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

@@akapody no worries, l use it a lot with bag making to make pleats for card slots

[@laticecarpenter5887]

Can warm and natural batting be used instead of fusible fleece or non woven interfacing

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

you can, but it may not have the same finish like the one in the video...I find when I use batting it does not sand up as well...but it is up to you :)

[@virginiascott3290]

What size fabric did you start with? Maybe I missed it. What size did the basket end up being given the 1 1/2inch fold at the top?

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

3.37 the measurements are mentioned there...your finished basket will be approximately 5.5inchs to 6inches in height

[@virginiascott3290]

Thank you

[@GloriaAvino]

What is the largest basket you can make? What would the measurements be?

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

I have not made these particular ones too much bigger, and when I have, I have just adjusted the height...but if you are looking for something a lot bigger for storage etc, I do have a pattern on Etsy with 3 different sizes that might help here is the link to that pattern etsy.me/3MIVrZb

I love these little bins, but haven't been able to find a good pattern. Yours is great so simple to follow along on it! Hope to have some time this winter to do some sewing. These would also look really cute quilted with a narrow cross-hatch. BTW, is that a watch or a bracelet? It is beautiful!

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

Hi Sarah, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment...I appreciate you being here with us...these fabric baskets are fantastic and great for storage :) ...the watch is a fitbit type watch...monitors my steps, and other health related things...I like mine to be be like bracelets as opposed to being tight against my wrist :)

[@sarahsheppard575]

This really reminds me of the zippered flat bottomed pouches we did last year for the swap only without using the fusible foam.
