[@frescosiam]

Great information and clear presentation. Loved the pauses at the end so we could answer the figure ourselves! The repetition helped me Thank you!

[@vasanthiumeshkumar5512]

Very clear tutorial. Thank you for the share

[@madasabrush5312]

Very helpful tutorial, thank you! I knew how to sew the bag but couldn’t figure out what size the corner cut outs needed to be. Now l can make these bags to measure.Great.

[@barbarabroadfoot4621]

Hi Gina and thank you for a very informative video! These are EXACTLY the things I struggle with- especially the size of the corner cut. Now it makes sense! woohoo!! Thanks!!!!!!

[@carlamatthew3681]

Thank you soooooo much!!!!! Now I will be able to customize by bags with ease

[@carolvanleer3386]

Great tutorial, thanks! I wanted to learn exactly this.

[@kerigibson6499]

I wish mine looked as pretty as yours when they were finished. You do such amazing work!

[@janruiz6610]

Love you video. One question - do you allow for 1/2" or 1/4" seam allowance?? I can get mine to come out the same as yours.

Thank you for explaining! ❤️

[@marilynmaloney4144]

Trying to find the video that teaches how to sew the bag you are using in the video on how to measure your fabric to make all different size bags- thank you!

[@lucindacindymartin6012]

me too, if you find it please post a comment

[@nancydegeorge475]

My brain is freaking out 😂 but it's not your fault it's me. It's a great tutorial thank you 👍❤️

[@karenjohns8859]

Thank you so much!

[@Melissasofia522]

Where can I find the tutorial for the bag itself :)

[@angelinaberryman9918]

Do you have any patterns to make masks???

[@lucindacindymartin6012]

it would be great to have a pattern with no elastic, and fits well onto nose/tight seal.

[@anamariadoval3286]

Qué lindo bolsito! Pero al no entender mucho inglés, se me hizo un poco complicado la toma de medidas, espero tu próximo tutorial, quizàs lo entienda más, muchas gracias Gina! 😊 👍 👌 💖 😙

Math is a bit off. When you calculated the single piece of fabric, you added 1" for seam allowance. As there are only 2 SA's, then you are using .5" for each seam. However, when you calculated the split design, you added .5" for each seam allowance, which means you used .25" seam allowance. For those having math problems: you can create a spreadsheet and enter the formulas and then you have only to change the dimensions and the calculations will be done for you. Start with your finished dimensions. I'm using the ones from the video for this example. Fin Height (FinHt): 5" (meaning from top to bottom) Fin Width (FinWd): 9" (meaning the width of the bag as you are looking at it) Fin Depth (FinDp): 3" (meaning the dimension from front to back on the top and bottom) SA: .25" (the seam allowance) To cut a single piece of fabric: Width = FinWid + FinHt + (2*SA) = 14.5" Height = 2 * (FinHt + FinDp + SA) = 16.5" To split the bag in the middle and use 2 pieces of fabric: Middle/Bottom of bag fabric (width from above), Height: FinHt/2 + FinDp/2 + (2*SA) = 8.5" Bag top, cut 2 (width from above), Height: FinHt + FinDp + (4*SA) = 5" Of course, all of that assumes I understood her bag assembly correctly. I entered those formulas in a LibreOffice Spreadsheet (tinyurl.com/LibreOfficeSheet) and then also saved it as an Excel spreadsheet (tinyurl.com/MSExcelSheet). Feel free to grab these files from my cloud account. (Note: I make no guarantees about the Excel version since it's a conversion from LibreOffice.)

@J.G. Can you create a formula that tells you the largest bag you can make from a certain size piece of fabric please?

[@fralou1]

Wish these links still worked. M having a blockage to get a bag done. It’s tall 13”. And 14” long and only 3” deep. I’m about ready to explode, as when I think I’ve got the bag figured out it’s not. 😢

[@AnaPaula-xp2dk]

Thanks 💖💖💖

[@mpr2497]

where is the original video for constructing this bag?

[@coeurdelionne5896]

👍

[@SoyElegidaPorDiosEnSuCatolica]

Where did you get your tag from?

[@karenpresley7101]

Thank you. I'm a mathematically challenged person but I think I understand. 😊

[@izabeau1953]

I love your work, but the calculation is complicated. For me best is how big one pice must be and how big the other one should be. But if it helps others good . I just don’t know how you made that bag. So if there is a territorial on that I would like to follow. And you explain very well. And wow you get the nicest fabrics ..... I wish I could get some of them. Anyway, I just love the way you explain. 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

[@nyrew06]

I don't think this would have been as confusing if the video wasn't upside down. No shade. Ijs. The numbers were hard to follow.

[@taniamarlene9548]

a video step by step would’ve been easier 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@arriettysbags]

Thank you for this. A great help :)
