Love this project bag! Kimberly did an excellent step by step teaching to make it😊 Thank you!

[@cherrygingham]

Perfect tutorial. You made everything so clear and easy to follow. I've never sewn a zipper before, I need to get my supplies and get to making. This is so cute and functional.

[@vedatobias1702]

Yes Kimberly awesome tutorial!!! Great specific details!!! Doable for a beginner !!!! Thanks Lily for your great camera shots of Kimberly cutting and sewing so we can see exactly how to make this adorable bag. 💕

[@rebeccamills4673]

Fantastic tutorial with great tips for sewing with vinyl! I use Annie's Soft and Stable too. Annie has loads of great products and patterns. I'm going to make some more project bags! Thank you again!!!!

[@aprilbuckland7955]

Thank you for a great tutorial Kimberly! I am definitely going to be making one (or more) for myself and for gifts.

[@kimberlysalmonowicz6121]

Just made it and loving it! Great easy tutorial! Tissue paper is a great tip, but opted to use my teflon foot that I've never used. So anyone that has one.. it worked great! Thanks again for the video!!

[@luvpugz9659]

Thank you, Kimberly 😃. Love all your tips! Of course your choice of fabric by Lori Holt makes the bag even more charming 😁

[@valerieroling8035]

Love, love love this tutorial. I had just recently purchased a handmade project bag at a quilt show which I love, but to be able to sew these on my own is even better. Love all your detailed information, you make it fun and easy. Thank you Kimberly!

[@lindadavis8082]

Thanks Kimberly,for showing your sewing stitching in progress. This helps so much in my understanding what and where you are sewing! I usually warm up my pressing surface with the iron,then lay the vinyl on the warm surface to remove those folds .

[@kandaykerr3653]

Kimberly! This is awesome, I'll be making one as soon as my zipper can be delivered! Thanks so much!

[@maryrose6302]

Loved the size of your Mini Scrap Patch bag and now another wonderful one! Thanks for your great tutorials.

[@pamelacasey1699]

Love the project bag! Great tips and instruction on sewing with the vinyl! Thank you!

[@chrismatheny9146]

Great tutorial, clear concise instructions! Love the pink nail polish too.

[@ritaperazzo5879]

Thank you for the fantastic tutorial. I've been waiting for it. Your style of teaching is so exact and leaves nothing unsaid. I plan on making several of these bags. Again thank you for being you.

[@paulasydney]

Love it, I need to make another one. I made one almost identical to yours about 3 years ago. I added a handle to the top of mine which makes it super for carrying around or hanging on the back of the door. Thanks for the idea and your video :)

[@pamjay5465]

Great tutorial! Especially your directions on sewing the zipper and the vinyl. I must make one! Thanks, Kimberly.

[@cindybird2896]

Thanks for the video! I am going on a retreat this weekend and this bag will be perfect! My daughter is a school teacher, what a great gift in different sizes for her desk supplies. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you!

[@jeanhefflinger5411]

You are such a good teacher! I love to watch your tutorials! Thanks.

[@tinageorge8759]

Thank you Kimberly for this great tutorial, so well done!!!! 💚

[@evelynfrench804]

Kimberly, thank you for your tutorial. Your bag is so cute! Love it!

[@jeanna-slamminthescreendoor]

Excellent tutorial. I love the tips for working with vinyl. Thank you!

[@denisepineda1788]

That is the cutest project bag!! Thanks for another great video including all the tips and tricks!!

[@Angies-Musings]

Thank you for the tutorial! Can't wait to make a few to organize my projects.

[@srsandi1595]

This is an awesome tutorial! I LOVE the new set you video on! It’s beautiful!

[@lauriedoyle5491]

Hi Kimberly...Thank you so much for showing us how to make this cute project bag! I can’t wait to make it! You are a great teacher! I Love it! 💕

[@lindagillespie6556]

Wonderful tutorial, I can do THIS, ITS going to be my next project, thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

[@crazycardcreator]

Thank you for sharing!💕 I loved the project bag when you showed it in one of your live streams. 💕

[@donnakennedy87]

Donna Kennedy, California Thank you Kimberly. Looking forward to making these, even thought of some other ideas based on your outstanding tutorial. This is the first time I've watched one of your videos and looking forward to watching more and learning from you.

[@DD-ek8qc]

Great tutorial. I'd suggest perhaps boxing the bottom corners to have a bit more storage space and to have space for a layout board to fit so if you've got a block laid out it will fit.

[@ritasokol646]

Another great tutorial Kimberly!! This bag is fun to make and you make it simple by having all the products I need at FQS! Thank you for another fun, creative project.

[@carolgoetz8839]

Beautiful!! Loved your tutorial!! Thank you Kimberly!!

[@beverleybrowning3480]

Finally getting around to making some of these. I saw the "June Taylor Zippity-Do Done" zippers and suggested FQS order some. Now I have some to do this project - so much easier and no zipper foot needed! Have also seen that some ppl use a low heat on the dryer to warm the vinyl to get out wrinkles.

[@kamiemeng2217]

I love this project. Thanks for such detailed instructions. I haven’t put in a zipper for 30 years and had no problems!😆I really enjoyed making this. Thank you💖

[@louradelaney8074]

I agree with everyone, this is the best bag tutorial. The tissue paper trick is great.

[@gracepatane9384]

Thank You for this tutorial! It looks like easy construction, or rather you make it look easy!! 😉 I think I’ll try to make one!

[@loridavison6672]

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial this looks like a lot of fun I'm excited

[@dianawright8334]

Thanks Kimberly, missed your how to tutorials and your instruction, I luv Annie’s products and have made a lot of her patterns, I have a Teflon foot.

[@lindasargeant4966]

I purchased a Teflon foot (along with a roller foot) for $6.99 from Amazon. Super easy, cheap and effective.

[@loriar1027]

I can’t wait to make one of these! Just waiting on the vinyl to arrive in the mail.

[@juliehiggins5021]

Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve been looking for one with a vinyl window!

[@brookhaag7021]

Great tutorial! Love your channel so much ❤️❤️ Did you know if you cover your vinyl with a cloth ( like a piece of fabric) and run a medium heat iron over it quickly it will stay flat? It s a huge help as most vinyl comes folded or rolled.

[@Allie-jn2yl]

Awesome I’ve got to try

[@janhedges9890]

Great project ! So many ways to use this bag. Your video tutorial is so easy to follow and understand. As always - very enjoyable!

[@kathleenpowell2136]

Kimberly, what can u possibly say...Thank you soooooo much for an excellent tutorial... I bought fabric,zippers, vinyl,thread, and I’ve been so afraid to start one. I am determined to make one now that you have made it look so easy!!! Your tips are priceless.. Thank you.

[@annashetler5618]

I ordered the supplies (which should be coming today) and I hope to make it. So cute-I can't wait to make it and use it. Thanks.

[@amypierce7081]

Lilly got this video ready much sooner than you thought... I was patiently waiting for this tutorial. Great tutorial

[@bettyhannan3771]

Thank you Kimberly. I’ve been wanting to make these bags to use for my Stitchmaynia kits.

[@dianemitchell390]

Thank you for the video. Just made my project bag for jolly July wips!

[@debbiewhite3270]

Looks doable. I will try today. TY

[@dianemotley]

excellent tutorial, Kimberly. Can't wait to make one!

[@faithmoore8903]

Great Christmas gifts to stitchers. I love this idea

[@terisparkman9814]

Another great tutorial. Such a cute and useful project bag.

[@PattiRaeG]

You’re such a good teacher! 💗

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Great video with perfect camera angles!!!! Cute project!! Love it!!!!

[@vwilson6355]

Love, love, love your tutorials! ❤️

[@janetshufflebarger662]

What a great tutorial, now just have to make one, thanks for sharing.

[@zareinakhan2342]

Thank you for making this video and posting. My next project is vinyl bag so your tips would be so helpful. And thank you for putting where to buy accessories in the link below. That’s nice of you.

[@lisawalters5482]

Too cute! Love the fabric.

[@brandyjohnson8802]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Can't wait to start making some. I will have to order the supplies first. Time to start another cart at FQS. 😁

[@debrastallings2892]

Kimberly! You are a wonderful teacher. I very much enjoyed watching you make this bag. You made me believe that I can do it easily myself! I see several bags in Christmas future... Men and women of all ages would like to have one of those babies! Thanks! That’s assuming we even celebrate Christmas this year!

[@celenaspencer2423]

Love the bags, nice job! Thanks for the video.

[@auntpurl5325]

What a good, clear tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Sew fun!!!❤️ LOVE the new set!

[@susanalbaugh8803]

I just finished my bag - I had some problems trying to use the tissue paper to sew the vinyl. I tried a small piece putting the vinyl next to the feed dogs and sewing with the cotton strip on top -- and it worked great! (I have a Brother Quilt Club 1300 and turned off the pin dual feed system so it didn't make holes in the vinyl). Love the pattern - Thanks!

[@lindagillespie6556]

Adorable.....I’m going to make one! And I have some of Loris blue fabric too! I just put that pink in my mini swoon...haha all I have to do is bind it now 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@ljbailey1955]

I put a couple layers of scotch tape on the bottom of my presser foot when I sew vinyl. It works beautifully!

[@cathysaint9247]

Great tutorial. Have fabric ready to make bags. Super easy😁

[@mostlysimplemargo]

Excellent stepped out tutorial on making a project bag. Your instructions were not only clear, but also concise which advertised the simplicity of its construction to encourage viewers to enthusiastically attempt making it. Bravo! :0)

[@jackiematsumura2649]

Great tips about the zipper. Also mentioning that the brand you used has a wider tape, is helpful.

[@sheris.8167]

Kimberly thank you so much!!! Awesome and easy.....I have been "not so patient" waiting for this tutorial....Ha Ha Ha YAYYYYY :)

[@janeblazer8034]

I did it! Conquered my fear of zippers and Vinal! Thank you for the awesome video!

[@lauriee348]

Love this!!!! A definite must do!!!!

[@jeanniescrochetcreations4978]

I used to work in a sewing factory. I learned how to do vinyl bags with no pins or clips I think I'd need clips for using the papers between. Just use a Teflon foot. The way we did bags we used indung/bias tape

[@karanslinker3163]

Digging through my stash right now lol I have a quilt class Tuesday and I wanna show off my new project bag then THANKS SEW MUCH

[@karanslinker3163]

Kimberly ..Got my bag finished and added a shoulder strap for ease of toting to my quilt classes (it snaps off for when using at home). Next class is Tuesday so I get to show it off soon Don't know how to post picture here lol

[@rosettagadson1762]

Thanks Kimberly, Can't wait to make this bag but, I have to wait for the vinyl comes in. Thanks Again

[@bredahealy4926]

Great bag and great tutorial. I have made small zipper pull bags and successfully used vinyl that a duvet cover came in, though it may not be large enough for this project bag.

[@grandmastraw]

Very nice. Great tutorial. I’m making one of these!

[@TaraJudd965]

❤️thank you Kimberly!

[@pattin5411]

I can’t wait to make a few of these once my vinyl arrives :)

[@cindyhenderson4409]

Beautiful background shot🌸🌺💕

[@ph5284]

I love this bag I’ve made two so far and plan on making more T Y Kimberly!!

[@phyllisshipman4826]

Printed instructions for making the project bags with a zipper and vinyl

[@chickiez11]

Great video on this bag!! Thank you so much & I loved the binding tip and trick video as well. :-)

[@scottsmith9802]

Love the tissue paper trick. Works better than the Teflon foot. That foot is expensive and doesn't work all that well with vinyl. Thanks Kimberly!!

[@sharonreeves4591]

Great tutorial. I have looked for a tutorial for project bags on youtube and haven't found one that I liike. I .like this one.

[@momgrandma5496]

None of my bags have a ‘picture window’, this is fantastic, all the steps are super clear...thanks Kimberly.

[@chrismator2666]

Great video as always Kimberly!

[@janetmcgraw88]

I love this idea!! Can’t wait to try it.

[@charlottemiller3566]

Looking forward to trying this!

[@kathyeggleston1725]

I may have to try this! I love your top!

[@nisebiggs6572]

Your blouse is exquisite!

[@lauralatino7530]

So cute and pretty!

[@Jonesy460]

OMG I was just thinking about making my own project bag! They can be expensive and I don't like a lot of their material. Thank you so much for this video!!!! ❤️

[@sharonoverman8260]

So smart Kimberly! I love your explanations of WHY you’re doing something. It’s so helpful! Thanks.

[@Quilting_jules]

Thank you for a really great tutorial. 😊

[@jaeltay]

Great tutorial. How fun and easy.😀

[@beckym100]

Just made this but instead of the plastic I used plastic mesh and I added a handle. Love it!,

[@lisaklein5040]

I definitely feel like I could do this now!

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Cool wip bag. Great tutorial.
