To the family of Melaine. I’m new at sewing. , my mom used to sew all the time as I was growing up. When I was in Boy Scouts, my mom taught me how to sew all of my badges on my uniform and sash. Never did I think I would ever be able to make what Melanie taught me online via her videos. Thank you to all the family for allowing all of us beginners the opportunity, to learning, beginning, sewing from Melanie videos. My thoughts and prayers are with the all of family.

Thank you for keeping her tutorials on here for us. I saved this video years ago and it has been helpful for me recently. Inflation is high, cost of living is tough, living paycheck to paycheck. I’m making these out of recycled denim (old pants from thrift stores). These are great unisex for toiletries and provide me with extra income for buying groceries & other necessities for my family. I was so sad when she passed away. She has left a legacy for so many of us. RIP Melanie, thank you for your tutorials. 🙏🏽 🕊️

You had everything going for you, you’re personality, beautiful lady. Inside and out. There was something very special about you. You’re talent exceed’s mine, and I’m old.

Loved your tutorial, and I like how slow and methodical you are. A thought: To really finish this bag off, you could leave your turning opening along the zipper edge of the lining. Only sew the outer fabric completely down, then sew the lining onto it, but with your opening. Then you sew around all the edges, box it out, turn it rights sides at the zipper, and top stitch it down and voila! No need to hand stitch, and no pinched seam in the bottom. Looks super professional!

N S Khanum Good tip! If you don’t have a narrower foot, it might help to put something of similar thickness under the other side of the foot. That way, the foot is level instead of sideways. There’s also a little button on the back of certain feet that will do the same thing (raise the foot up to help go over thick spots). 😊

Thank you for keeping her videos going. I needed a pouch and searched for Melanie because I just knew she’d have one. I miss her and just smile, and learn, when I watch her.
