[@kristieandjeff2720]

Wow, this is by far one of the best sewing tutorials I have ever seen! What a great idea and your wife did a fabulous job! Thank you so much for sharing this 😃👍

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Your welcome Kristie! Thank you for letting us know you liked it.

Your shopping bag tutorial is BY FAR the BEST! I watched ALL OF THEM! I have 1 horse, and have amassed quite a number of bags over the years, and have LOTS of friends with critters! Thank you!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Your welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@melodymckee3123]

Just used your directions to make my first one tonight. I think I know what all my barn pals are getting for Christmas this year! Thanks a bunch!

[@Lily-oy9bb]

Erin should make a diy craft Chanel!! She's so good at this!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

I agree! Maybe in a year or two when we slow down working she can do something like that if she wants. Not sure she has the time right now

[@eleanor8100]

I make fabric bags like this all the time. Now I have to find some feed bags somewhere!?!. Quick and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks Erin!

[@RalphMantuanoTwinStarMedium]

wow this is cool... Thanks you and your wife.

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you bud!

I've watched a few of these bag tutorials and this one by far is my favorite. I chose not to cut my 4" triangles in the bottom, in hopes that it might make the bottom seam more durable over the years. Otherwise, this method you show is exactly what I'll be doing from now on! Thank you!

[@3FeathersFarmstead]

Wow!!! That is neat!! Always wondered how I could reuse things like that!!! Awesome video!! Cheers!!!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you! It's a good way to reuse the bags.

[@CitySingersChoirs]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. A charity I work with collects the feed sacks and volunteers sew them into totes to sell at a local farmer’s market. You made it so easy to learn this skill to share with others.

[@cynthiapeters2674]

I have also watched other videos and your video by far is easier to understand. Thank You!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thanks

[@anncarr9476]

This was so good. Only change in made is the handles from 24” to 21”. TY

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Sweet. Thank you!

[@freedamarino1283]

That was a good tutorial on making those feed bags.

[@jennasmith6630]

best tutorial for a bag like this i have seen! thank you!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you!

[@margretcarlson5461]

I agree with the others that this is the easiest tutorial I've seen. I think the zigzig is a better idea. I've made one from a different tutorial with the straight stitch and it wouldn't sew straight. It looked terrible. I'm going to try your tutorial with the zigzag. Thanks again for sharing.

[@merryanneadair4451]

Excellent tutorial!!!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you! 😊

[@sandyhansen9234]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you!

[@bethscott6706]

Great tutorial! I didn't know anyone with oils but would love a few pig bags. Do you have suggestions to find them? I have 3 kinds of chicken bags and some deer type feed bags but have a friend that loves pigs!

[@Lily-oy9bb]

It's me lily, this is really cool!!! Great job guys! Love ya! 😊😊😊

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you so much Lily! We love you too!

[@MaryJane-xd4sn]

Your The Best!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Aww thanks

[@Nancycraft22]

Excellent! I just subscribed. Thanks

[@alisonraymond2079]

Love love love your video!!! How wide is your bag?

[@sewingbarbie6136]

What a great video! Im a new subscriber. Saw yall on a video from the meet and greet!

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@winpins9539]

Great tutorial - did you ever make a duffle bag from the feed bags? If so, would love to see that video as well!

[@vickydouglas8772]

I am having a problem with the tension. I am using a Brother ULT2001 and need to correct the tension setting. Any suggestions?

[@stevestunes6695]

I have to agree, this is an amazing DIY tutorial! I only have one question, as opposed to the 10-14 I usually have... What is the stitch length and width you use on your zigzag stitch?

[@michelemiller5096]

I've watched 3 of these videos so fare and this is the best! I'm sitting here looking at my first attempt at one of these and it looks like crap. I'm going to try this method!

[@FSIKen]

Are you using a special needle to sew through these bags? Thank you for a very informative video.

[@vickydouglas8772]

What size and type of needle are you using?

[@vickitaylor9750]

Love your video. Do you ever line them with fabric?

[@HonestOpenPermaculture]

Thank you! No we haven't lined them with fabric before but that's a good idea.

[@cathyscreations1954]

if you need 24 in why would you cut them 21 in

[@angiecoers6255]

This will be a fad like everything else.
