the message below is from my nearly-10-year-old granddaughter. thanks for posting this video 😊 I embellished it with machine embroidery and used it to earn my Maker badge in Girl Guides.❤

[@julienixon5911]

The pieces you cut out would make a cute pocket on the front!

[@melinda3925]

Seeing this I thought this would be a cute way to store hair ties and scrunchies.

[@terribishop5313]

Thank you for this video. I would be careful making the handle any skinnier. Getting all the fabric with interfacing back thru the hole didn't go so well for me in fact it didn't go . Make the basket bigger not the handle smaller. ♥️ Sewing 53 years still learning!!

[@pettylove86]

It looked ok before I turned it right side out but no - handle was too short and the bottom was misshapen. Oh well. It was just something to try. On to something else.

[@digging4roots]

I had some fun with this and am going to experiment with the size because as soon as I saw this bag I knew it would solve a bitty problem I have: something small to carry my hand embroidery and hoop. While following your directions I had a thought. Well actually, I had several but only tried 2 of them. One was to take the fabric that was cut from the handle and turn it into a pocket (I used it on the outside of the bag) and the other was to use a contrasting fabric and make a traditional slip pocket on the inside. While they both worked well, anyone else considering doing this would be best to add the pockets after turning the fabric inside out as the bulk of the pockets made it a bit harder than it needed to be. As for placement, I assumed 1/4" seam allowance and so placed the pockets 1-1/2" from the bottom cut edge and centered. For the slip pocket, it finished at 8" wide and 2-1/2" tall and was placed in the same manner. Thank you, Laura, this is fun and the next step is to figure out what size fabric I need to have it hold my 8" hoop.

[@lw7967]

One more idea as I thought about this basket. I put a guest basket in my guest rooms with little treats & things they may have forgotten. This will be perfect for that! Thank you!

[@RebelAlliance42]

I ended up making 3 of these, one for my remotes, one for my special needs son's collection of torches, and one with matching cups with markers and crayons (as well as a ream of paper) for my niece's first easter! They're so adorable!

[@annwilliams2075]

Hi Laura, just reading your new book Sew Very Easy Patternless Sewing, which arrived this morning here is South Wales UK, and love it. 😍😍 Two things immediately stand out for me; 1) how many of the patterns can be used to make other things. I.e. the sewing machine cover, with very little alteration, can be a food mixer cover. Or made smaller it becomes a toaster cover. It is always a big plus in my book when one pattern can be used in many different ways. 2) It is an ideal book for teaching youngsters about sewing and quilting. Many of the patterns can be made up quickly so a child has the satisfaction, and joy, of making something and seeing the results in a short space of time. 😊😊😊😊

What a great idea with using pinking shears around the curves. That’s going to be my new cutting for the curves.

[@RebelAlliance42]

I did it, it's very good, especially for small curves

[@gigiturner8781]

I just love this little bag. I’m going to make one and embroider my great grandson’s name on it

[@kfaz3979]

Laura, your videos are always so easy and you explain things very well both verbally and demonstrated. Thank you for the brevity and editing; makes them easy to watch and to find the part of instruction I’m looking for when sewing. The bag is adorable and would also be great to give to new moms filled with diaper changing needs. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@evelynallen769]

Nice as a gift for chemo patients. Fill with comfort items. Hand lotion, mints, etc.

[@Jocantral]

This is just the cuteset little bag. I am going to a pot luck this weekend and want to bring a little hostess gift. Not sure what to fill it with - maybe two small potted plants - one on each side... Or bulbs for her spring garden. Thank you Laura.

[@eunicescott8414]

I made two of these this morning for Easter for two granddaughters ages 9 & 8 1/2. They loved them. Thank you for this simple and easy tutorial.

[@craftyone5991]

What a great wee bag perfect for the grandchildren’s easter hunt thank you for sharing

[@McSnicker55]

It looks a bit tricky to do. It's one of those projects I have to think about awhile. I ran into the same thing when doing vest panels many years ago. My brain keeps telling me "it can't be that easy". Magic tricks! Isn't it funny! Thanks for the vlog, I'm going to go prove to my brain it works by making one!

[@jojosewist8921]

Sue Pfeiffer:I know just what you are talking about. My very logical brain keeps going over the picture with pattern drawn and comparing to finished product. Then says no way that works. Isn't it ridiculous what torture we even do to self to sew. This bag is just too cute.

[@pettylove86]

The first time you have to turn it right side out you have to do it through the handle which was quite a struggle for me. You have to roll all the material up to push it through. Since I get pain in my hands I doubt I will make another. They are cute though.

[@laurieholtz5635]

I made one like this in my Grade 7 home ec class. I used it for a shoe bag.

[@suestutzle2779]

My daughter's dog comes for a day of doggie day care sometimes, if she is away for quite a few hours. This little bag would be great to keep her doggie kong, ball and treats that I have on handy for her. No more searching around for things.

[@christineswannie5741]

Thank you for this beautiful and quick project. I made mine with fusible fleece to add more body. I wouldn't recommend anything heavier as turning it through the handles would be difficult. It came out perfect! Also, I stitched the handle cut-outs together - then sewed the two circles RST , turn & topstitch. Voila! made myself a small mug rug. Perfect for going to our community's coffee socials. Bonus! and no waste.

[@randibgood]

I'm thinking about how to adjust the measurements to be able to use insulated batting and use to transport baking dishes. Then the handle cut outs would be perfect pot holders.

[@christineswannie5741]

@@randibgood The InsulBrite I have doesn't seem to be any bulkier than the fusible fleece, so I don't think that would be a problem. Just need to figure the fabric dimensions. I like your potholder idea too!

[@eileenmc4746]

Never fluff videos coming out of you! Functional projects

[@kimbeckner9240]

I absolutely love this! I sat down and made two right away! Don’t go too narrow on that handle. You have to get the body and the interfacing through there and it was thought enough with the 2” gap. I have four more fat quarters picked out! Thank you so much, Laura, for sharing this with all of us!

[@RebelAlliance42]

Yes, I used fusible fleece, just because that's what I have at home right now (I couldn't wait 😆) and it was a bit of a challenge turning it through, but not impossible, and it's a short distance, luckily, but the thinner handle could be done with very light or no interfacing, I imagine... and these quick, easy projects are my favourite 😊

[@warialdasue]

I jusr found out about the handle, because I trimmed my circle on the outside so cut off my stitching. I decided to restitch it but ended up with a tiny handle. I’m starting a new one now

[@lindachadwick2911]

Laura, OMG you have created a monster LOL. I am making lots of these little bags and am using them as Gift Bags. I wrap the presents as normal, and then handing the present over in one of these little bags, which is a gift in itself and can be used again rather than a bag being thrown away. Being kind to the environment. Thank you for a lovely video Laura.

[@KA-vr4uu]

Wonderful! Thank you

This is just what I need to take my crochet/knitting along to doctor offices and other places. Thanks for a lovely idea! No more yarn in plastic shopping bags!

[@audreyderby7638]

Great idea and great video, as usual. Funny….I happen to have that exact fat quarters! We can’t find …or use…plastic bags any more. Not allowed. I have to admit I really miss them, but never thought of using them for my yarn.

This would be awesome for sunscreen and bug spray in the car during the summer months. Cleaning cloth and spray cleaner caddy, organizing socks and underwear in drawers, hair products, any beauty products! Salt and pepper mill holder, tomato sauce and mustard bottles... Oml it could hold a couple of jars for pens and crayons! The possibilities are endless! This is the perfect project for the fat quarter bundles I bought recently, sew easy, thank you!

[@RebelAlliance42]

I just made my first one and it's gorgeous! I used a fleece interfacing, because that's what I've got at home, so the bottom seams are a bit too bulky to sit my salt and pepper mills in, but you bet I'll find another use for it! So I'm off to my fabric supply store this week for some thinner stuff lol
