Tremendous pattern and very clear instruction. I was browsing through your bag patterns looking for something to keep my knitting in at the side of my chair when I came across this pattern. I am a compulsive sock knitter using a 9” circular so don’t need a big long bag. You make your projects very do-able and I am amazed at your generosity in giving these patterns free of charge. If you lived in the UK I would send you some flowers as a thank you but I send my thanks nevertheless. You’ve made an old lady very happy 💐
Great teaching style! Teaching is a separate skill from doing, and you’ve got both! I like that you’ve worked out all the small details…the ones we all would figure out for the second time! Thanks!
Hi sara. I would like to thank you for your tutorials. A few years ago i was suffering from many health issue's. It was due to my kidneys failing but at that point in time i wasn't diagnosed. Your tutorials, calming voice and the sound of your sewing machine was very calming to me. Thank you.
Thank you, Sara. I am way behind in keeping up with your videos, but I probably will have a little more time now that my mask-making has slowed down. This bin is lovely.
Sara, just wanted to tell you how much I love watching you. You are the (very best) instructor of ANY I have watched, and I have watched everyone I could find. I could watch you all day, you are "GREAT"
I’ve been looking for some one to explain bag making so clear and not fast. I’m saying hi from Melbourne Australia and I’m excited to start sewing bags etc. thank you so much. Stay safe
Hi Sara, i've done few storage bins before but I appreciate your detailed tips. Your voice s so soothening & watching your tutoials is a real therapy! Thank you & God bless you!
Thumbs up for this tutorial! I'm almost 70 and I've never seen this made in quite this way (or if I have, I don't quite remember)... goes to show you a young pup can teach an old dog new tricks. You not only are detailed in your verbal instructions, but, in the visual ones also. Great project by an even better instructor ... can't wait to give it a try myself. ;) P.S. Great praises for your camera person also.
you probably dont care but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Christopher Kylen thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Just what I was looking for to use as a soft container for a spa gift raffle prize. The bins are awesome for color sorting my scrap fabrics too! As always your tutorials are fantastic and so uncomplicated! Thank you Sara!
Thankyou so much for this pattern and tutorial. Since my husband passed away last year I have been planning to turn my second bedroom into a sewing room. I am disabled so it is a very slow process and I haven't got very far atall! These storage bins are perfect for storing all those little things which get lost amongst the other stuff. I'm going to search out my fabric stash tomorrow and try to get at least one of these done next week. I will try to make little labels as well to say what is in them. I'm always searching for things I saw the other day but now they are nowhere to be seen!
Thank you for the great pattern, can't wait to make some! Lol, in all the pictures I never noticed only one handle. As I was watching I kept wondering how the other handle would work..... Need more coffee this morning!
Thank you for your excellent video, every aspect just so accomplished, from assembling the paper pattern to constructing the storage bin. I just had to hit the subscribe button and bell oh and of course "thumbs up". Thank you again!
Good project. You present very well. One suggestion? Drop the habit of saying "then go ahead and . . ." It is wonderful to have you ladies who do such professional videos. Thanks for the pattern and tute!
Thank you i am a beginner details make a big difference; however can you share the type of fabric used and where you purchase?? Your prints are always vibrant & coordinated well. I would like to try and make the examp.. thanks
Thank you for the pattern and the video. I have been looking for something just like this. How can I obtain the pdf for the medium and large size pattern?
Thank you!! Great project & video. Do you sell the scissors you are using. I'm looking for those. Saw a few ladies using them in their videos and they seem very sharp. Please let me know.
A lot of sewers use the KAI scissors which are very sharp and not too expensive. I use the 5000 series, they have a number of different sizes. I hope you find this useful!
Hi! I never sew before, it will be my first project. I have a question and maybe it is stupid, but I can't start without knowing it. I didn't understand the rectangular piece. The one I cut from the pattern that has the oval cut is too short to be the side of the storage bin. Would you mind explaining it to me? Thanks.
The pattern pieces are the round bottom and a large rectangle that gets wrapped around with a handle cut out. There isn't a pattern piece for the rectangle but instructions are given in the cutting instructions for how big to cut that with your rotary cutter and ruler. Hopefully this helps but feel free to email sara@sewsweetness.com if you have any questions!
Did anyone else have problems fitting the bottom to the side or was it just me. After I made 3 of them, I realized the measurements were wrong. Is there some way to put the hole on both sides?
I didn't have any problems with the ones I made. Did you line up your quarter markings and ease the fabric in? You can easily make 2 handles, just do it as 2 panels (allow for a seam allowance so cut them larger than 1/2 the one panel) make handles and then sew together.

Oh I needed storage bins to organize my fabric and interfacing scraps.cant wait to make theses
Thank you for the great pattern, can't wait to make some! Lol, in all the pictures I never noticed only one handle. As I was watching I kept wondering how the other handle would work..... Need more coffee this morning!
I never would have thought to use a spray adhesive. That is kind of cleaver. And thank you for the great tutorial and free pattern.
Such a good tutorial. You are so excellent. I added elastic (covered by cloth) and a button at handle, I can be a klutz.
Thank you again for the free pattern and easy-to-follow tutorial. These are really neat and useful too!
Thanks 😍😘 Jane from Brazil
Love the bins - also love the satisfying noise the Kai’s make when you cut out the hole for the handle 😂😂
Morning invest

I love this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Are the larger sizes available?
Obrigada pelo tutorial e vídeo.
Thanks Sara what needle is appropriate to use for this project please?
Thank you for the pattern and the video. I have been looking for something just like this. How can I obtain the pdf for the medium and large size pattern?

@@janekokoszko7525 Yes!! Thank You!!
Would the lining be considered a drop-in lining?
Thank you 😊
Did you put the handle template top flush to the top of the lining fabric or flush to the folded down top of the lining fabric?
This may sound like a silly question, but what marking is the 1/2 inch marking on a guide plate?
Love it

Hopefully this helps but feel free to email sara@sewsweetness.com if you have any questions!
What brand sewing machine do you use?
You're just adorable!
Can you do square laundry basket please
Why not just use a binding around the top edge? It would also be an opportunity to introduce another fabric for even more visual interest.
Did anyone else have problems fitting the bottom to the side or was it just me. After I made 3 of them, I realized the measurements were wrong. Is there some way to put the hole on both sides?
I didn't have any problems with the ones I made. Did you line up your quarter markings and ease the fabric in? You can easily make 2 handles, just do it as 2 panels (allow for a seam allowance so cut them larger than 1/2 the one panel) make handles and then sew together.
Bronwyn Carr thanks
I think we broke the website. I cannot access the pattern.
Sara If you turned this upside down , you would have an instant pot cover
👍👍👍👏👏👏😳😳😳😊😊😊😘😘😘
