Omg, Bethany, what a gal?! They're probably not paying you enough, I could only imagine. How about you start a reality TV series on quilting and the drama and ladies gatekeeping folkart?! Keep up the fabulous work!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Brilliant idea. I'll pitch it to the top brass. -Bethany

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

Great tutorial. I save the earring after losing the pair and add a claw clasp and use as charms too. Also if using light lining I scotch guard so stains come out

Such a cute bag! I got the free pattern & will definitely be trying it out! The blue fabric is lovely but think I'll use fall colors.

Glad you enjoyed it, Debbie! Thank you very much for commenting! 💖 -Michelle

[@sharizabroski6910]

Thanks so much for taking us through this really fantastic project Bethany! You did an absolutely great job and I can't wait to make this bag. Too bad the cute zipper pulls are no longer available, but a color coordinated ribbon will be a sweet substitute!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is a great idea! We're very happy you enjoy these cute totes! -Michelle

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're happy you enjoy this cute project, Carrie!! Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle

[@WeQuiltStudio]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have been making several versions of this type of Bag because I have so many quilting "practice pieces" to use up. What do you think about adding Binding to those side seams, and then pushing the Binding to one side when you box the Corners, ...and then bind the Corner seams when you are all done?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is absolutely a technique that would be a great addition to this project. Nice idea! -Bethany

[@yesimadeitmyself]

Great tutorial (easy to follow) and lovely fabric 😍 what a cute gift this would be 😊👍

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're glad you enjoy it!! Thank you for watching. -Michelle

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're happy this project inspired you. Thank you for commenting!! 💖 -Michelle

[@sandrasundell1190]

I love this bag but I'm one of those that doesn't like the unfinished ends. I use some of the bits left & used them to cover the seams. Love the bag & your tutorial was great!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Glad you like this fun project! Thanks for your comment. -Michelle

[@worab1]

Great video, new male sewist here. Love the bag, make a fantastic project. Thanks for sharing.. Subscribed. Be well.

[@djeoutdoors]

Nice gift idea

[@ShabbyFabrics]

It sure is! Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle

[@shannonfischer8088]

Brittany thank you for a great tutorial I love this fabric in the bag. I would love to make one lined with a plastic liner inside for my daughter to use as a make up bag. Can you recommend a liner a plastic liner or do you think it would be too bulky for the machine

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Shannon - A liner in addition to the batting and lining fabric may be too bulky, but you may want to consider forgoing the batting and lining fabric in order to replace it with a waterproof fabric, such as a Polyurethane Laminate Fabric. -Michelle

[@trinam2503]

Try only quilting the outside of the bag and the fusible fleece, and then add vinyl during assembly. The inside would wipe clean or it could be washed in the washing machine. Just dont put it in the dryer.

[@amyshoemaker1566]

I love that bag behind you too. Is there a pattern for that?

[@tracystandhart939]

I love your tutorial, Bethany. Is there a lining in this bag? It looks as if there is no lining. Does it really matter?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're happy you enjoy this fun project, Tracy! The pattern for these bags does not include a lining, but you could always add one, if you desired. www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/513/ -Michelle

[@Alextate152]

Bethany, what sewing foot did you use with your Bernina on your first zipper seam? I didn’t recognize that foot.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

For this project I used the 4D zipper foot, and the 20D open-toe foot. -Bethany

[@Alextate152]

Thanks so much!

[@cindymcnatt9071]

In the tutorial,...did you use fusible fleece, batting or foam? The bag seems to stand up good

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're glad you enjoy this cute bag! We did use a fusible fleece for our stabilizer with this project. Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle

[@lilmisstrouble85]

I keep the zipper closed and sew the top first, then use the bottom corners to open the zipper after that way it's easier to sew the top.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Great tip! ♥️ -Michelle

[@maryannnewsham7714]

this was an awesome tutorial and Bethany I don't know if you're new with shabby fabrics but you do an awesome job with the tutorials. I think this is the second time I have watched one of your tutorials. I am going to order the kids and I'm wondering if they include a copy of the free pattern in the kits since my printer at this time is not working. and also a little tidbit of what I'm going to do I think for the two little tiny tabs I'm going to use excess zipper. I've done it before and it always looks really cute.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Maryann! Thank you for your kind words. I've been with Shabby for a year but only started doing video tutorials a few months ago. I'll be doing a lot more from now on. 😊 Yes, the kit will include the printed pattern. -Bethany

[@kutepookie]

Will you be getting the kit back again?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We will not be getting more of these kits in the Nantucket Summer collection in. 💖 -Michelle

[@theresaagnetti1686]

I can’t find this free download

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Theresa - You can find the Free Download for this fun project here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video/513 Thanks for watching! -Michelle

[@lancslass8]

Please can anybody give me a clue as to which side of zipper is placed down. Is it face down or face up. I am a beginner.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi lanclass8 - Once you have your fabrics sewn, you can pause the video at timestamp 3:13 to line up your project and zipper the way Bethany does - the zipper is "upside down" at this moment. Hope this helps! -Michelle

[@lancslass8]

Thank you Michelle. I always get confused how zippers are placed - face down or face up. I am left handed so I like to open my bags from the opposide side, so this adds to my confusion!!

[@amyshoemaker1566]

Found the other bag pattern sorry!!!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're happy you found it! Thank you very much for commenting. We'll look forward to your project photos!! -Michelle
