I love how well you explain the process. What I find funny is this is the second bag videoI have watched and the inside pocket fabric is upside down. That would drive me crazy. Thanks so much for explaining so well.

[@kellybeckner8121]

PLEASE do not stop these tutorials. I have made everything so far and cant wait for more. You are a great teacher. I'm a beginner at sewing and you make it so easy for me. Thank you for everything.

[@deborahtillman3313]

I made this tote bag for my sister and her friend. They love them! I am now making 3 more as gifts for some other friends who saw them. Thank you for making the directions easy to follow!!

[@houseofstephens5575]

PLEASE do a larger version of this, maybe large and then a weekender size. Love your channel!

[@teresakent8614]

All you need to do is use your own measurements.

[@barbra429]

@@teresakent8614 would you happen to know how the depth of a tote bag with a box bottom affects the height and width, I have been struggling with this for years and I just cannot get a good grasp as to how it works. Especially if you want to customize your bag size.

[@lynnslosson5937]

Because of your tutorials, I bought the 15.5” square ruler. Best thing I have bought in a long time. I have used it more often than I thought I would.

[@lesliebowman7396]

You and Jenny doan are the best teachers there is. I will be rewatching this and making this bag!

[@erica_arndt]

Gosh thank you so much, I love Jenny!

[@janetknutson169]

Couldn’t have ever made this without this tutorial. I would have sewed it up completely wrong and never figured out why..but listening to your directions helped me understand what I did wrong so I could fix it before continuing.

[@barblucas7099]

I made my first bag four years watching your videos. And I made many more since then, love ❤️ all your videos

[@WaterfallFW]

Super cute bag. I love the quilt as you go projects. I think pink, blue, brown and beige are my favorite color combos with yellow sprinkled in.

[@nancylaws5659]

You are wonderful. I am loving all Of your tote bag tutorials. Thank you for being so generous with your time and tips!

[@barbra429]

Thanks. Just a suggestion if you want the corners up near each side of your zipper to be straight and not dented inward use a technique called The Butler method. The video is by Amy Lynne Designs. Very nice straight zipper corners. There are others with videos but only hers really works well to me. And you also have the option of not even having to use tabs. Hope you don't mind me sharing just trying to help.

[@katietolliver2844]

I am really liking these quilting bags. Great job!

[@chrisb5391]

I love your bags. Very easy to make and you have great instructions. Thanks for sharing,

[@pamelavance648]

Great pattern Excellent video Thank you for sharing

[@grams5580461]

You are so creative. Thanks for the zipper tabs. I made the double zipper pouch I like the way the zipper looks with the tabs. Now I can try this also. Your projects are so easy to do. Thank you for that also. I am just now starting to use the foam batting. I think it takes a little getting used to, but I like the way the bags turn out.

[@mariagonzalezrelman625]

Gracias por compartir tu arte. Saludos cordiales para ti desde el sur de Chile.

[@tinacrooks7079]

I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials and your projects!

[@maplelassuk]

A great bag Erica! I like this method of bag making, and your zip is made so easy to follow. Some tuck the zips in and I seem to get bulk at the ends, this is lovely and flat. Thank you, another great addition to my library of Erica bags!

[@elizabethspecht9585]

I am always turned off with zippers but this one looked pretty easy on my wish list to make you make it look so easy.tyfs

[@carinstreit1658]

Looking forward to making this bag! Thank you for your clear instructions!!!

[@plannerbrittany]

I’m super new to sewing but I may try to make the pocket with the heart boxes you showed us on the sewing mat! I hope I can make that work.

[@wendya5887]

Very cute bag. Thanks 🌸

[@sandrasharp7404]

Hi Erica, i saw on one of your videos where you mentioned that you wish you could get more of the Sugar Creek collection by Corey Yoder. Quilter's Dream in Loveland, CO has yardage and also some of the precuts. I was just there last week and they had a lot of it:)

[@kimberlyweaver7156]

I have never quilted anything in my life but you really make me want to try. I really like watching you make things. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@emilyburbage8571]

So informative. So glad I found your channel.

[@esteladelacruz8825]

[@dorispowell7643]

Love the tote and just to let you know. You are a good instructor

[@mariawells8026]

[@pamketron]

Great bag Erica! Such fun fabric. Love all your bag tutorials. Sewing a squishy bag drawstring one this past week. Haven’t done the final steps yet but looking great. I always need project bags for my crochet and sewing things. These work great! Jax must have been sleeping during this one. Love him. 🐾🐾🐾

[@madonley55]

Great job on this! Beautiful bag! Thanks so much for the tutorial! ☺️

[@janicemeizinger9623]

Ty Erica....great tutorial 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💁🏻‍♀️

[@debclements7605]

Thank you for your excellent tutorials! I have made many project bags based on your various patterns/tutorials but it’s kind of a vicious cycle...need more project bags to hold more yarn! 😀. Also what is that tape/grid on your machine? It looks like a seam allowance guide that may be removable?

[@erica_arndt]

It's Cluck Cluck 1/4" Sew Tape you can get it here: bit.ly/2B6rzS8

[@monicavidal2616]

Great tutorial Erica, as always. Would love to see a cross body, messenger bag tutorial

[@michellejaggard9657]

Eerica I think this is just one of the cutest bags, just love it. I adore the fabric on the pocket, what a great choice. Thanks so much. Your instructions are always so great. I'm 5'3" so I'm going to use the same strap measurements as you have. My daughter, 42, is the same height as you, her daughter, my oldest granddaughter 22 in a few days is 5' 5" I think I may add an 1" to the straps, what do you think? I would like to make one for her birthday on the 10th. Today is Sunday the 5th.

[@Fortuneyarnco]

This is such a great tutorial thank you 😊

[@MarieA787]

It look super cute ❤

[@rosabalderrama1443]

What kind of sewing machine do you have? I love that you don’t have to cut the thread, bag is very nice I’m going to try and make it

[@403jlowe]

I just recently found your channel and I love it! I am just starting and was wondering what kind of machine you are using? Thanks!!

[@Molly-pb2yb]

Erika! Thank you for posting measurements in description box. This new trend of running the process of obtaining thru a shopping cart hasn't worked once for me. Thank you!!! ...for not doing this!

[@lorellechambers]
