Wait til you see what I used for the pocket on this bag… 🤭🤭🤭

[@lindal3451]

If, for whatever reason, I'm having a down day, I go back and listen to your videos, and it always lifts me up. You are so much fun. I love you cute giggle. 😃 😀

[@shesewsseams]

Wow, thank you!!!

[@JL-il6vk]

I said the same thing last week! I have been so down but Chelsea is always so very happy. I just love listening to her and her laugh. It seems to be so contagious! Thank you so much Chelsea for being such an inspiration and this week I have tried, very hard to feel better and you have helped to make that happen! Love you always!!!❤

[@MistyRaymond]

Same here!

[@caterinaml]

If I could give a thousand thumbs up, I would because you deserve it!!!!! It is a beautiful, eye-catching bag!!!!!! Thank you for sharing! You make all of the steps small & easy with your laughter. Although they may seem daunting at first, but with your laughter and colorful fabrics it is a breeze-nervousness is forgotten! Thanks again!💕💕💕

[@shesewsseams]

Wow, thank you!

[@carlabattle8301]

I love your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your creative talent. I just went to Dollar Tree and purchased some, okay, a lot of those drying mats. I plan on making some of these bags for some friends and family. This is a good way to use up some of those fat quarters that I have gotten in subscription boxes. Thanks again.

[@annthomas2372]

I am hooked, I love making your bags, I have even experimented, by adding a potholder to the front or back of the bag, to use as a pocket, my daughter loves it she uses hers to carry her cell phone in it

[@stellaunger8568]

Thank you for keeping your videos full of fun, positive comments and great teaching skills. I love your upbeat attitude, you lift my spirits. The bag is gorgeous!

[@ellenorr9683]

You are so fun to watch. I love how you take things as they come and laugh along with it. You are a great teacher.

[@shesewsseams]

Glad you like it!

[@liletteautrey8481]

Beautiful bag and I love the idea of using a little bag as a pocket for the bag ,very creative

[@redgingerbreadpam]

Super cute! Love all the fun inexpensive projects you do with such fun encouraging inspiration.

[@pattysuemcgowen]

Love it ! Thx for showing that pocket. I’m picking up some of those. My bag I’m working on now is a patchwork piece that was leftover from a jelly roll quilt. In purples !

[@lisafox3013]

I just get a kick out of your sayings! I want to be your friend :) “Walking foot is like 4-wheel drive for your sewing machine” such a great explanation 😂❤

[@shesewsseams]

🥰🥰🥰

[@deborahclark6186]

I'm so happy that I found your channel. I'm 65+ and my memory isn't great right now, because of the strokes I had and the tumors I have on my brain. You are very easy to listen to and follow.

[@LindaPressler]

I love your attitude so friendly and funny. Love you girl.

[@sunneedaze57]

There are many things I like about you, but probably my favorite is you trudge ahead not knowing the outcome. I am exactly like that. lol. Your videos are in my top 3 go to videos.

[@shesewsseams]

Well thank you!!

[@kathywalcott290]

Chelsea I love your fun style giggling through your tutorials! I’ve been stalking Dollar tree collecting mats! Looking forward to your next creations.

[@laurietuzzato5501]

The bag is so cute. If a thin strip of the lining fabric color was between the shiny rose and the Toucans it might enhance the parrots and make them pop as well. A natural teacher. I hope you are one. Oh, and you must have such a happy cheerful home. You are a delight. I hope your family realizes how fortunate they are, especially you spouse.

[@shesewsseams]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@jenniferdennis336]

I have made one with out pockets and four with.. I made the pockets. 😊 I have pictures. 🎉so proud of myself 😎. Thank you for reminding me of how much fun it is to sew. 😊😊

[@shesewsseams]

Great job!

[@nancyholmes1765]

I think you are a riot, and love your videos. You give very good directions too!

[@HRHDMKYT]

This bag is fabulous!! Thanks for the tutorial. One word of caution: I know you said “water soluble pen”, and you’re right, those are perfect. I strongly recommend not using Frixion pens, because although the lines seem to disappear with ironing, the chemicals never go away, and if your project gets cold, those lines will reappear! Even Frixion (Pentel?) do not recommend their pens for [the pretty side of] fabric!

[@susanm9078]

Love that you admit you are not always pulled together! I know that is the reason i enjoy your videos is you are always willing to give something a try. I made a very similar with some Harry Potter material for a bag for my son and daughter in law. It will be the gift bag for the quilt i am making for my grandson due this fall!

[@stephanielandry6251]

Love this bag, the fabric you chose is so awesome!! I live in Jacksonville, Fl, with 20 Dollar Tree stores, not one has the toucan fabric. 😢 😢 I have enjoyed watching your tutorials, appreciate your way of teaching & your encouragement to everyone!! U ROCK!❤

[@pamedwards7708]

I love that you answer questions I always have when home alone and...feel so lost!!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou so much!!!❤❤❤

[@shesewsseams]

You are so welcome!

[@pamedwards7708]

I love the boxed corners but never knew how until you appreciate you so much!!!❤❤❤

[@getcrackin6778]

Little pieces of fabric can make doll clothes...yo yos for yo yo quilt...quilt blocks...place mats...baby booties...stuffed toys....pillows...table runners...little scraps can make beautiful works of art like the sampler quilt hanging on the wall behind you.

[@CindiPierce-jo5el]

[@shesewsseams]

Thank you very much!

[@johnniejohnson4859]

Oh my Goodness! What an amazing bag! Absolutely love that Toucan fabric. Definitely doesn’t look like an $11 bag.

[@stevenlisa2469]

Fun idea!

[@anamariaokeefe3386]

Love that. I’d love it with flamingos!

[@RobertaBostrom]

I’m so glad I found you. I love your style and humor and you sew so well. Thanks.

I quilted a simple quilt today using your idea with the crosshatch quilting and it turned out so good! Thank you!! I so enjoy your videos!

[@shesewsseams]

That’s amazing! Great job!!

[@lindacajigas3315]

I love your energy, and I love your bag! I have to make one of those for my granddaughter. She's a nursing student and I have the most perfect nurses fabric to use! I can't wait to get started. It's genius to use those DT dish mats. It saves so much money.

[@dhauxhurst]

I lost it when you said your tummy is exited! Love it!

[@donaldsteiner9695]

I thoroughly enjoy watching you create. Most of my crafting is all dollar tree stuff. And you’re just so bubbly

[@shesewsseams]

Thanks!

[@donaldsteiner9695]

I made a bag out of that same jungle fabric last week

[@melissaleslie5282]

I absolutely love this bag!! ❤ Thank you for sharing 😊

[@shesewsseams]

You are so welcome!

[@Patti-1962]

Chelsea, I've been sewing since I was a little girl with my grandmother. When I was pregnant, I made all my maternity clothes, and then all of my children's clothes as well. I loved adding piping, and making smocked outfits. I also continued to make my clothes as well. I have memories of using Vogue patterns! Then my health took a nasty turn 15 years ago, and I had to stop. Ironically, I found your channel at the same time I found an amazing holistic physical therapist who is helping me have more good days. YAY!! Tomorrow, I'm going to sew some simple elastic waist skirts for my granddaughter (I have such darling fabrics) who we are traveling to see next week! You have inspired me and brought back my excitement for sewing again. Thank you so much for your contagious enthusiasm!🥰❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹

[@shesewsseams]

Oh this makes my heart so happy!!!!! I’m so glad you’re seeing again!

[@pamedwards7708]

Your so funny I always give myself little extra too but when you talk about it so cute and funny!!!😂

[@joanwalford1959]

Beautiful. I just started watching your channel. Wish I could sew but I have no patience for all the little details and the sewing machine seem daunting to learn about bobbins and the like. I do enjoy watching and will live vicariously through your sewing tutorials. You have great vision for putting odds and ends together and making it beautiful. Way to go!

[@Deanazuc1984]

These are so cute. I’m a beginner level sewer. My Dollar Tree has nothing like the stuff you find. I will keep looking to find some of these things so I can try at least one of these projects. 👍🏻🥰. I wish I could take lessons from you, you make it look so fun. 🥳

[@alannajoy5]

I did it I tried the dollar tree drying mat trick.....its a little thicker then I usually use for bags but it paired awesome with a leather bottom when it came dow to join. So clever.

[@junegalluzzi4042]

So stinkin cute,LOVE IT!!!❤

[@Taxidriver107]

I love your tutorials and your laugh.

[@shesewsseams]

Oh thank you!

[@dhauxhurst]

Omg I absolutely love this ! I found boring tan mats so this method will be great to use those!

[@debrayakel2447]

You are a giggle a minute! And you could be my daughter ( my sons are 42 and 36) 😊 I’ve been sewing since I was about 6 or 7 years old. But I love watching your videos! Never too old to learn a new technique/trick! I love when anyone wants to learn to sew. But seriously my dear, they always want to jump right into making something to wear. Learning the basics first is definitely a recipe for success. I loved what you said about sewing being a hobby that needs lots of practice ❤

[@FloralsofGracebyMaggie]

You just make me happy. That’s all❤

[@Athenaslife]

I found your channel today and I have to say this is by far the best channel that I have found for a beginner.
