For everyone asking for the dimensions, they address that question in the comments on the blog link. The pattern is 8 x 18 inches for the bag (so if you cut on the fold, it is 16 x 18 inches) and the smaller squares are 3 x 3 inches each.

This is the very best, the easiest, that is available in utube in this respect. I had made one yesterday with left over casement cloth and ordinary cotton string from a pajama. It's fine. Held 3/4 litres for over 6 hrs.

This looks super easy. I just didn't know how to get started. I would have not known to attach the bottom loops like that. Thanks for the knowledge 😊

[@shacarr6844]

Im new & had to watch this about 10 times lol. Comments helped a lot

[@rhondaverma6358]

I watch this over and over

[@stephaniegoodman800]

The instructions are simple enough however the pattern needs to be printed on 18-inch x 22-inch paper which no home printer can do. What are the length and width of the measurements of the rectangle for the bag and squares for the loop squares? I would love to make some of these with the fabric I ordered from Spoonflower to place gifts in for Christmas instead of using wrapping paper.

Thank you so much for this. So fast! I’m excited about sewing one for my son’s Easter basket. Just have to choose fabric.

[@rashmikasengupta8730]

The best instructions

[@melanieliston4034]

Measurement would be nice.

[@cynthiabrewer1765]

What are the dimensions of the finished bag? Do you have to blow up the pattern to a certain percentage?

[@kemai1992]

What dimensions are the pieces? For those of us who don't have the facilities to print stuff, it would be good to know how big the bits are so that we can actually make it! Pleeeeease?

[@janicegroganbrown6403]

I would like the measurements before I start the project I don’t want to do the PDF

[@jodyglass3053]

It's a shame, this is such a great video but I haven't seen the Spoonflower has added the dimensions.

[@monzjob]

Thanks 😊

[@cheryljohn5511]

I enjoyed ur vedio it was well defined tutorial.very easy.

[@ramonastewart5359]

I would like to know measurements of bag before I start.

[@pherbert1645]

When I print out the pattern there is one page but when I look at the pdf on the screen it clearly shows 2. At the bottom of the page it looks like it says 18x22 inches. Is that correct?

[@Sony-sf2gs]

Very very nice

[@premerosepacardo3190]

Some of us watch this because of school :)

[@shulahawes]

Excellent - thanks for the video Just one thing... 1cm here 1.5inch there... Choose the metric system! It's excellent!

[@cliffbjornstad3563]

The questions as to dimensions has not been answered. That is an important piece of information. May we have it?

[@anon4518]

Very nice, what type of rope did you use please

[@cliffbjornstad3563]

[@ioannastekiapantou]

if i want to use a denim fabric and a cotton lining for inside is the same way that i sewing?

[@ioannastekiapantou]

Spoonflower i have to use interfacing?

[@spoonflower]

Ioanna, you don't need to use interfacing! Just the fabric will work fine.

[@ioannastekiapantou]

when we download the pattern for the bag. when we put it on the fabric.. the fabric must be fold in the mindle???

[@lilyjager8018]

Where can you buy the drawstring?

[@Tyler3853]

Probably eBay will have them

[@aurorahall8126]

Veiw for the pun

[@PatsyClevenger0308]

Pattern attached is useless

[@nancyschaefer8910]

you should get rid of the annoying music

[@bloodymisstake2569]

Mighty brave of you to assume that a person just starting out knows anything about obtaining your pattern and such. I can't use this video.

[@rhondaverma6358]

Seriously…
