Me encantan tus proyectos, gracias. ¡Un gran abrazo!

[@elizabethnovak4951]

Wow! First, let me say that I think you are so generous with you talent and skill. AND energy. I don’t know how you get so much done in a day that you are able to prep and share all of this, and of course, your Stampin’ Up projects. And lastly, let me say that after watching your step by step creation of this bag that there’s a glimmer of a spark of a thought that I might consider sewing again. Oh! I forgot to say that I LOVE your fabric choices. AND that I might consider ironing again if I had that cute fabric on my ironing board. Ok. That’s it. ♥️

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I love shopping for beautiful fabric!!

[@CreativelyChallenged]

OMGosh I am 😍AMAZED, I love watching you sew and make crafts!!

Hi Angie, what a beautyful fabric 😍. Thank you for your great tutorial. I saw an earlier tutorial from you, that's why I'm doing small tote bags now for christmas as gifts for my friends. Never tried it before, cause I didn't know how to 😬. So thank you a lot 😘

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@silverfox7081]

What a lovely project -- projects, actually. My favorite - ALL! Also, I'm a beginner and thought a tutorial on how to make your clip basket would be cool. I did browse through your sewing section and didn't see a tutorial similar to it. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!! Regarding the clip basket... I forgot how I made it... can you believe it? I have it on my list of tutorials to do (once I figure out how I made it).

[@GrammaPatriot]

I havent even watched the video yet but i can tell im going to love it! I just made your small tote from another video n thought id see if you had a bigger one i could try. I really like the way you do your handles. Well, back to the video😂

[@chicnscratch]

That is awesome!

[@mariancornelia4538]

Fab fab ....fabric used so beautiful I love the 2nd size Thank you for an excellent tutorial just subscribed

[@chicnscratch]

Thanks so much 😊

[@user-ue8us5tw5g]

Lovely bags, just about to make. Thanks for the link with size details. In the video you say interfacing for the fronts but in the chart it indicates fusible fleece. I’m fairly new to sewing hence the confusion.

[@chicnscratch]

Fusible fleece is an interfacing and it's heavy weight.

[@kathyallen8687]

I love All of your videos,,,and I don't even sew!! Your one talented lady!! I shared this video with my friend who does sew! TFS,,,,Happy 4th!

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you so much!

[@kimberlysmith2688]

Hello. I just came across your channel and absolutely love it. These bags are so cute. I would love to make this in a clear vinyl for my daughter. She is a skater and wants one of those fancy totes that has pockets, but I’m making this instead. I think it looks better and has a cleaner finish.

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!!

[@sallybyrne9577]

I've been watching your paper crafting video for forever....love them. I didn't know you were a sewer too. Your sewing tutorials are amazing. I love your little tote bags and drawstring bags. You make it very easy to follow. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a tutorial for those hanging pod baskets?

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!! I don't know to make those hanging pods yet but they are on my list of things to learn.

[@sandramichaud8033]

Nicely done ..just had to like and subscribe

[@chicnscratch]

Thank you!! I have a sewing channel too - Sew Chic n Scratch

[@TheBlueEyedCrafter]

I love watching you sew and paper craft. Would you mind sharing where you purchase your labels and what size they are?

[@LaughSewCreate]

Adore your choice of fabrics! Great tutorial. May I ask where you purchased the fabric?

[@chicnscratch]

I purchased it at Fat Quarter Shop - the name of the fabric is Beautiful Day by Corey Yoder

[@lisafi159]

What size would be good for a grocery tote? These are beautiful!

[@user-vm4fv6oy9u]

Thanks so much for sharing! Totes/shopper bags are a beginner project that I feel comfortable with, I enjoy making different variations, esp when there’s interfacing! Not much experience with it yet! So many questions though! What fabric is this? I’d love to buy if it’s a current design! What about your Bernina? Which model do you own? I’m thinking of one, but there are so many I’m not sure where to start! I’ll stop there, for now! Enjoyed and subscribed!

[@chicnscratch]

I'm happy to help!! The fabric line is Beautiful Day by Corey Yoder. It's still current but the gingham design is harder to find. You can't go wrong with any Bernina sewing machine!! I have four of them, 350, 475, 570 and 790. My favorite is the 790 but I use the 475 most often because it stays in our dining room. I would encourage you to go to your local Bernina store and give them a test drive. And you can ask me questions after you visit the store and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks!

[@cindywasche3040]

What a fun tote bag! Id like to make a bunch and use as gift bags instead of the paper ones! Also, I love the fabric on your ironing board, where did you get that?? Thank you!!

[@chicnscratch]

I bought the tabletop ironing board on Etsy. Their shop is not open right now but the fabric on it is My Happy Place by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs. www.fatquartershop.com/my-happy-place-home-decor-cream-main-yardage

[@marcellaable]

What is the name of this fabric. Thanks for your video

[@lindaince8217]

Hi, absolutely loved this, thank you , can you tell me what is name of lining fabric and where to purchase it from please 👍

[@chicnscratch]

The fabric is: Beautiful Day by Corey Yoder and I found it on Etsy.

[@lindaince8217]

Thank you

[@lindaince8217]

Is that the name of the lining fabric?

[@l.a3358]

Why is it that the back material you cut it shorter than the front? I am a new beginner sewer. Thank you.

[@LYoung-op5ub]

Is this a large tote or medium?

[@GrammaPatriot]

Where do you buy your fabric from, this tote is beautiful! ❤️

[@chicnscratch]

I bought it our at local quilt shop but I just ordered more at the Fat Quarter Shop. It's Beautiful Day by Corey Yoder.

[@GrammaPatriot]

@@chicnscratch ahh, thank you so much!

[@corvettew.s.4360]

I apologize for having to ask this question again. I would like to know where you buy your fabric if you do not mind sharing. I think I accidentally deleted the response, and you have some of the most beautiful fabric I've ever seen. I've searched through several of your videos, and I can't find my previous question. Please forgive me.

[@chicnscratch]

I buy some fabric locally and I also shop online. Here's some of my favorites: Fat Quarter Shop Missouri Quilt Shabby Fabrics Stitches n Giggles The Quilted Cow (Branson, Missouri) I also buy fabric on Etsy.

[@txswthrt342008]

What are the finished dimensions of each bag?
