How to Make a Jelly Roll Tote with Pockets | a Shabby Fabrics Tutorial

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤❤❤❤ Love all the details you explain and the close ups so we can clearly see what you are doing. For example, the welt pocket directions and close ups are so clear that even a beginner can do it. Well done!😊

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We are happy that this tutorial was helpful and that you enjoyed it! The pockets are marvelous! Thanks for your comment and support! ❤️😊 - Abby

[@JenSutton2023]

Loved it! I particularly love your delight in the gadgets! Thank you for your detail.

[@patstoughton]

I've been sewing for over 65 years. I've gone thru phases of sewing: my clothes, clothes for kids, household items, etc. I now make bags and sometimes do interesting wall hangings (mostly for holidays). I was new to jelly rolls and no one ever really explains how to use them creatively. I do not make quilts because I don't use them. But I love making totes. This was a fun video. I stayed thru the whole thing because I didn't want to miss anything. Tammy is a great teacher. Loved it.

Hi, I’m so happy I found your channel tonight. This was a wonderful tutorial. Thank you kindly for sharing. Right now my sewing machine is in storage. I’m will be moving soon about 4-5 months. I have lots of jelly roll from yrs ago in my container with all my sewing material. I’m getting itchy to get back to my sewing. The first thing I learned ( I didn’t even know how to read a pattern!) was to make a lined suit with button holes. In those days the machines did not have button hole makers in the machines so you made them by hand. I made a lined jacket and lined skirt. It wwas the summer I was entering high school so I was maybe 14. Fell in love. Again you now have a new subscriber and you made me a very happy lady ❤❤gayle

I love your tutorial videos. I usually preview the video on 1.5 to 2x the playback speed (found in Settings) to get an overview. During the project which sometimes takes me a few days to complete doing only sections at a time, I'll stop and go or play at slow speed the section. So, it does not matter to me if your videos are long or short. What matters is that I'm able to stop, slow down, or jack-rabbit through them! 🙂 Gratefully yours, "dac weekend"

[@janet5983]

I'm making my 2nd tote using this pattern (just using the video guidelines). For the first tote, I followed your pattern and instructions. For this one, I'm cutting my strips at 5" as I found using jelly roll strips to be very labor intensive - sewing, top-stitching and ironing. I wanted this one to be faster and easier. My one issue with your tutorial (and really all SF tutorials) is the length or size you leave for the openings. I probably only leave half the size opening you do and had no problems whether it was the bowl covers, napkins, placemats, etc. Overall, a great video Tammy! Thanks and keep 'em coming!

Hi, I like this bag, the only thing I would make different is that I would add a closure to the front pocket. Actual I can't really say what, a magnetic one, a flap or loop and button, but definitely a closure and I don't think about a zipper. Many greetings from Germany, love ❤

[@rowenaaguallo102]

Great Video! Ordered a kit. I don’t want to use a double needle, so do you just sew 1/4 inch on each side of the seam?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes, you would topstitch along both sides of the seam. Hope this helps :) -Michelle

[@marywaddell8927]

Very informative video. Personally I would have used the strips on the outside of the bag and a matching/contrasting fabric for the pockets and lining. What make and size is your cutting board?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Mary - The cutting board on this set is a Mega Mat by Quilter's Rule. We've recently updated our set and now use a large Creative Grids Self-Healing, Double Sided Cutting Mat. Hope this helps :) -Michelle

[@jeancox4235]

I love the bag and the tutorial was the best I have seen. I like to have one zipper pocket to keep my keys or money safer. Would it be hard to change the inside pocket to zippered?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Happy that you love this tutorial! If you'd like to attach a zipper to the inside pocket, you may. However, with the process that Tammy is demonstrating here, you'll want to add your zipper to the pocket prior to attaching it to the inside of the tote. We would suggest adding it about an inch down from the edge of the pocket (and possibly increasing your fabric size), and you would probably not be able to add sewn sections. Hope this helps! 😊 - Abby

[@anithaalarik7257]

Many thanks from Sweden for an excellent totorial. What are the dimensions of the bag?

[@eviee422]

Can SF101 be used in stead of fusible fleece?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

You can use SF101 but it is much thinner and you won't get that extra padding that fusible fleece or typical batting would provide. Hope this helps and thanks for your comment! - Abby
