Quilt As You Go Project Bag and Tips for Using Liberty Tana Lawn

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

What a great project bag. Thank you Emma for the inspiration and excellent tutorial. ❤❤❤🇨🇦

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

You are so welcome!

[@lisagilbert8472]

I always love watching your videos, you have such a calming voice. Your videos are very relaxing and rhythmic, clear and concise instructions. Not to mention so so cute!!!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Glad you like them! that means a lot, thank you

[@SuzanneStutzle]

I love this bag. I know it's not what it's intended for but I really want to make one to be used as a thread and scrap holder when I go to my Australian Sewing Guild meetings. We meet at the local Church hall and there aren't any rubbish bins to throw your thread snips and scraps into before you go home. I have an open thread snip container but then the threads fall out all over my sewing bag when going home. A little bag like this that can be opened out, sit by itself to collect all the threads etc and then can be pulled closed to keep the scraps etc in would be great and so pretty on the table. I'm going to make one for sure. I loved this video.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

that's a great idea for it! im so glad the video was useful, thanks for watching

[@lorraineknox7695]

Leave the scrap threads out for the birds. They line their nests with them!

[@SuzanneStutzle]

@@lorraineknox7695 I did some research into your suggestion and over all it has been said it's a bad idea because of threads getting tangled onto small chicks legs etc. Sorry, seemed a good idea at the time but I won't do it.

[@KnittingFoole]

What a lovely idea for this bag--to keep thread snips. I have a tiny bag I keep my thread snips in when I'm out and about, a bigger one would be helpful.

[@Happysewist]

This is by far one of the best and inspiring videos I have seen on a needlework project. Beautiful music, too!🩷

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Wow, thank you! that means a lot to me

[@susiepudwill5582]

Such a cute bag Emma

[@KnittingFoole]

I love this channel and Dainty Diaries as well. So many nice sewing projects. I think I'm going to try and make a bag like this, after all these years I've never done a quilt as you go project, after 40 years of sewing, maybe it's time.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

You can do it! Have fun! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words

Thank you so much Karen 🌸

[@cricketbraden8212]

so very pretty Emma thanks for sharing

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jenniek4617]

What a lovely project! It’s beautiful. I always use a scrap of fabric (a thread bunny) to start each piece of sewing. It stops threads being pulled into the machine and also your precious fabric which is more likely to happen when it’s very fine like tana lawn. Works a treat!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Great tip! thank you

[@jonavin2361]

What a beautiful bag, I love tana lawn too! You always have a lovely calm teaching style which I really enjoy watching xx

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

[@sharonzotoff3975]

Thank you for the thread tips! I'm usually a deer in the headlights standing in front of thread displays not knowing which one is suitable for the fabrics I'm using.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

there's so much choice isn't there! glad this was helpful

[@annelloyd5166]

Wow wow it lovely 🌹🌹😍🌟

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you!

[@rebeccaterry9428]

Hello beautiful project ,thank you for sharing can you please tell me the name of the backing fabric used in your first block thankyou

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I’m sorry I don’t know what it’s called but it’s by Liberty

[@craftdipper]

Awww, I LOVE this little bag!!! It would be perfect for keeping your wool in when knitting or crocheting, as you suggested. It's a great way to use up blocks you might make just for learning purposes, to see which blocks you like before committing to a quilt. But honestly, even just squares of nice fabrics would be beautiful for this - I just love the tabs and the substantial ribbon. Thank you so much for this tutorial, Emma, and all your tips. Oh, about joining quilt as you go hexagons for an actual quilt... I was thinking of using ladder stitch so as to keep the back absolutely smooth, so your tip about using stronger thread and keeping the stitches small was very helpful to me. I just wondered if I should use cotton thread to join? Do you have any advice on this? I got a spool of Aurifil mako 50w cotton, but it's very thin and easy to snap - am I right in thinking this woukd be too weak to join my hexies? (Though it's lovely for handstitching the bindings.) Unless I use it doubled?? Thanks again for all you do, Emma❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

thank you so much! so glad you liked the video. I have tried joining with thinner thread and I honestly think something thicker is best. You have to pull the thread for ladder stitch so I find it can snap easily. Try something like aurifil 12wt, I find it works well for this purpose x

[@craftdipper]

@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox thanks so much for answering, Emma. I value your advice. I'll look for that 12w thread. Thank you! A quilt as you go quilt is certainly a longterm project, but the benefit I'm finding is that I can buy smallish amounts of fabric at a time as I can afford it. And with fabrics like Tilda and Liberty I'll always get something that tones, even if a design goes out of production. 😍

[@karonwostenholme6533]

[@conniegreene9596]

Can you tell me about the needle you are using and where I can buy it for hand sewing

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Yes, it’s this one www.vintagesewingbox.co.uk/store/p221/Pony_Certain_Betweens_Needles_Size_5-7.html

[@carolannsidney5919]

Hi Emma, do you always wash your fabric before sewing?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I never do!

[@GlynisOsborne]

Which of the needles are you using in the video? Thanks

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you, this one www.vintagesewingbox.co.uk/store/p221/Pony_Certain_Betweens_Needles_Size_5-7.html

[@renatekauker4242]

Could you please mention the name of these sewing needles with the marks on it? I'd like to find them here in Germany, as buying from Britain meanwhile is so expensive unfortunately. Thank you so much for your always adorable ideas. Greetings from Germany ❤

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Yes sure, they are Pony Your Certain Stitch needles. Hope you can find them. Thanks so much for watching 🌸

[@conniegreene9596]

What size needle are you using

[@kathierichards3531]

I cannot find the pony needles anyplace- will you get them in again?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I just restocked them so they are on my website now, thank you so much

[@velmamendes2949]

where can i get the needles?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

you can find them on my website

[@conniegreene9596]

What size needle with the mark on it

[@catherinejoseph4452]

do you have the pattern for this bag available?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you. No pattern, the video shows how to make it without a pattern, you just need to make some 6 1/2” quilt blocks you can use free patterns online for those or otherwise just cut 6 1/2” squares from your fabric instead. Hope that helps
