Beautiful! Thank you so much, Holly..can’t wait to try this as my first sewing project and I’m 70 years young..wish me luck 🌺
You can do it!
Oh Holly, you are just adorable!!! Sewing along with your video was just like sewing with a friend. Thank you.
I’m a long-time sewist. I usually make very complicated handbags and garments. Making this bag with you was so relaxing and entertaining. I hit that “Subscribe” button so fast!
I'm so happy you felt that way. It's an easy, but really useful little bag. Thanks for subscribing!
Its so lovely to see a real person actually still producing something so lovely, with some of the struggles most of us have, tiny spaces, forgetting to press seams, I'd rather watch you anyday than an over edited perfectionist. Ive ordered some gorgeous fabric to follow along with your tutorial. Thankyou for keeping it real 💓
Thank you so much for saying so. Would love to see your bag when you finish it!
I made this bag and it's fantastic. Heavy duty, perfect size, my favorite for market/groceries. About to make a few more. 👍👍
Yay!! So happy it's working well for you.
Hey Holly!!! I am so glad you had this pop up at the end of this morning’s post. I love this bag and I will be making one!!! Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention!! 🤗
I like the fabric you used.
I love florals!
🌸🌼🏵🌹🪷🌺🌻
I just followed this and made a bag for my daughter. I absolutely love it and your tutorial was super easy to follow. Thanks.
Thanks for the tutorial! I can't wait to make one!!
You are so sweet. I really like your video. I love how happy you are in this video. So reminds me of my mother in law and she is one of my favorite people still alive lol. Thank you for doing this video. Please please please do more videos. I am fairly new to sewing so I am all about getting new patterns and videos.
Thank you madam for explaining so nicely I learn so quick by watching your video
Most welcome 😊
Holly! This is me jumping up and down with excitement that you are sewing and creating another tutorial! You share so many great little tips and have a lovely style that I enjoy following along with. I especially like that you take the time to write out the cutting instructions on paper! Your fabric selections are en pointe!!!
Fantastic. Can't wait to make one. Great job Holly.
Love it. Thanks for sharing it.
Love that fabric 😊
Love 💕 your video Holly, very nice!
Omgosh I just made mine…I love it..thank you for the inspiration and video!
You are so welcome!
If you are not a fan of vegetables, it might be because of how they are cooked.
I made a mix of 2 bunches of cut up
scallions, 2 - 8 oz containers of sliced mushrooms and thinly sliced carrots, as much as you like
3/4 stock of butter or more if needed
1/4 cup oil
4-5 med sized garlic cloves diced or more to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice or pasta
Melt butter in med sized skillet.
Add garlic, cook until light golden,
Melt butter in a med size fry pan. Add thinly sliced carrots, cook about three minutes
Add scallions and mushrooms.
Let cook. After a while add you oil so
Butter does not burn
Cook until all are tender
Serve over rice or pasta
Peas and onions are good too.
Oil in pan, add diced onions until golden. Add frozen peas and cook until tender. Yummy.
Wow. thank you. I'll give this a try!!
I live in Allegheny County, PA, near Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh just banned single use plastic bags, and the county is expected to follow, so I think these would be the perfect Christmas gifts for my coworkers, there are three that work in my department and we do exchange gifts, so thank you so much for the tutorial! You explain things so well!
I'm so glad you liked it! You have some lucky co-workers!
So has Oregon, Im tired of paying $1.00 to get a bag...$1.00 adds up when you get groceries every week and need 2or 3 bags
Thanks Holly! Looks so simple . Last time I made a bag, I couldn’t find the right color webbing and the lady at the quilt shop showed me how to cover the webbing on the handles. So simple and it added a different flavor to the bag. Best of both worlds (I hope).
Love your tutorial? Watched it yesterday, went out and bought fabric for about three bags, and made one today!!
Love that Rifle Paper Co. fabric. 😍. I think I'd add a zip in the side of the pocket and close the top. Cut the lining 1 inch longer and you'll have a ½" to roll to the front as an accent. Will definitely be making this one. 😁
This tutorial is brilliant. This was my first time attempting a bag and I am beyond chuffed with the result! ❤
An idea I had was instead of cutting off the blue pocket fabric since it's right side already (I think) fold it over and put a small seam on it (to look finished) and stitch it to the top of the pocket for a little added interest. Just a thought. I've saved your video and I can't wait to sew this!
Thanks for sharing! Your a great teacher. Thanks for taking the extra time to show all the details and explain things. The video and music is great!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial. Thank you very much, it’s such a fun and super useful project.
I am an old lady who just started sewing again after 40 years of not touching a sewing machine. Thanks for your wonderful instructions. I finished my bag last night and took it grocery shopping today. It came out terrific and it’s just the perfect size
This actually looks like a true beginner bag (that I can do) when so many call a bag simple for beginners with like 5000 pieces and steps. I'm going to have to make this one. Thank you
You can do it! xo
Nice to see a video where items are sewn. Thank you.
Hi Holly, your bag is lovely. Thank you for the clear and easy-to-follow instructions. You're a great teacher. Until next time, take care.
This was posted on my sister's birthday last year, and it just showed up today in my suggested videos. I have a very similar sewing philosophy to yours: if you're looking for perfection, don't come knockin' on my door. I get 'er dun, but it ain't perfect. I think if I ever got something done perfectly I'd just throw it away and start over. LOL
I've just been given quite a bit of spare material by a friend and so I thought I would make bags for our Church charity table this bag is perfect and I can't wait to start - thank you
This is the best tutorial out there. Directions are spot on and very easy to follow. I’ve made several of these now and I love them Best video for making a great tote. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome!. So glad it was helpful!!
So far I have made 21 of these bags! Thank you for the thorough tutorial. They are a breeze to make!
21? That's fantastic!
Thank you from a beginner for all your tutorials!
Thank you for this one. Absolutely loved the way you did your tutorial. It was a pleasure to watch. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this great easy to follow instructions for this great easy to make market bag. Wonderful introduction. Thank you.
Thank you Holly! Just bought some canvas and I saw your pretty bag. This is the one! 😍
❤❤❤I love this bag. And the fabric is beautiful. I love farmers markets, The smell of freshnes. I also agree about webbing
I can't wait to see the daisy's.
Holly - thanks SOO much for this bag tutorial. This is the easiest one I have ever seen. Makes me want to go and cut up some fabric and make one right now. Love how you did the bottom piece. I've seen a lot of bag making tips and tricks but the way you explained this it just seemed so easy. Hope I have time to make one this long weekend. Thank you again. ♥️👜
Beautiful bag! Love the fabrics you used! So pretty! Thank You for doing this tutorial! I find it very relaxing to watch you sew!💜
🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
You are so welcome!
Hello Holli, I just love your video and you. You are a gem I love your caring and your openness, most of was your statement about not being a perfectionist, that is why I saved you as my favorite and since watching, I’ve made 4 tote bags, a slight variation but along your lines. Thank you again, you are a delight to watch💕 Gisela
This is a great bag. I love a farmer’s market too. I eat lots of vegetables
Holly, I love the fabric that you used on your bag, It is so pretty. It definitely looks like something that should go to the Farmer's Market. So stylish. Have a wonderful weekend. Sending Love and Light to you and your You Tube community. ❤
Love it. Going to make one today. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Thank you Holly for the easy tote bag video. You make things look so simple. Now I know what to do with the canvas fabric I have. 😁
Your videos start my morning so thank you!! Have a great day!
Super cute bag. I think I’ll make a few. Good gift bags.
Love that strawberry fields design, the blue is lush too x
I had so much fun watching this tutorial. I cannot wait to make my own bag!
Thank you, I'm so glad it was fun!
Holly! You make it all make sense! Thank you!
It turned out beautiful!
Great video, so good to see how to make a bag in such detail I am inspired to make some. Thank you.
I love the first bag you made. The dandelion canvas and that gorgeous fall print inside are so pretty. I love this one too, but the first one is still first in my mind.
amazing tutorial! this was my first sowing project and her instructions were clear and easy! thank you!
Enjoying making my first bag with you. As you said it is a fast bag to make. Thanks for great directions.
You are so welcome!
Great, thank you. Had some canvas but not enough for full bag, so did contrast on the base of bag and base of handles.
I love the library cabinet in the background!
You are a good instructor. I really really like your choice of fabric patterns. I’m a flower lover too. You made it seem so simple I might just give this a try. We can all use market bags these days. And why use ones that look like everyone else’s. Stand out, be distinctive! You are certain to get some compliments on this one. Someone will ask where you bought it for sure!!
I just discovered your site and am so glad I did. So far it is great, I like someone who has a calm demeanor as well. But I do love your beautiful nails. I always notice nails as mine are stubs and look like …well…. Anyway I am enjoying the video an will be looking for others! Thanks JaneS
Welcome, Jane and thanks for the kind words!
Wonderful bag. I'm going to challenge myself with this one. Hope the straps being done like this will give the bag a little more strength for heavy glass purchases. Thank you so much for doing this vid and luv that you're so down-to-earth Holly. Awesome!
Your bag looks just like the bags I have bought from LLBean. Im so impressed. I can not wait to make this. TFS. BTW love the background music you played, so relaxing.
Sew easy. I have been looking for a great market bag. And this is a great one. I will be making it for Christmas presents. Thank you.
Great job Holly🥰👍
Holly, great video. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, so easy to follow along! I recently bought a sewing machine and this was my second ever project. Thrilled with the result although I did have a small hiccup with the size of the lining, but I know how to fix that for next time ❤
Well done! So glad you had success!
Great tutorial on a great project. I love the canvas you chose, beautiful. Thank you so much 💜
That was a really good tutorial! You presented the project and steps to sew it very concisely and clearly, well done! I've made quite a few bags but often have to review the steps. I'm bookmarking this as I'm sure I'll need retraining again for my next bag. 😊 Thanks Holly!
Thank you, MJ!
Very cute bag! I already have all of the ingredients just not the time to do it yet but! I plan to make several. Thanks Holly🌼
Thank you!
Love the bag. Beautiful fabric and great tutorial
Thanks Holly, love this pattern. Have made 2 now. 1 I use for everyday and my latest one is a bigger version and for the beach ⛱️
Great step by step tutorial. Beautiful fabric!
Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Holly... thank you thank you...I love your video...your clear instructions and very calm way are excellent...after watching a video that was speeding through the instructions and sewings(made a bag that was not correct but usable) I have made six maybe seven bags using your video... the bags looks beautiful... thank you
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you had bag success!
Making this bag today! Love it so far, getting ready to cut my corners…. Wish I could send you a picture!
my email is holly.dandelionstitches@gmail.com. Would love to see a picture!!
Hello Holly. I love the market bags. Our local market has so many wonderful vendors. I definitely want to make a new bag.
Thank you! Just made this bag, following you step by step. Came out perfect (for me). 👍♥️
I'm so glad!
Omg I just love this bag! Your fabric choice is sew beautiful!! I don’t even need another bag but now I want to make this!! 😂😂😂
Thank you! Its very pretty and durable!
Beautiful! Love your fabric choices. Getting ready to make this bag as I just found some pink/orange ombre denim (looks like sunset) on clearance, together with a matching floral for lining. 😊
Couple of questions for the about 15 minute mark: 1) the bottom of the webbing doesn't need to be zigzagged on the bottom? It won't unravel in the inside? 2) putting crosses on the webbing at the top of the bag for strength isn't necessary? I'm a new bag maker and I do overload bags - in fact, all my bags should have wheels or really long handles so I could just drag them! I liked the look of the lining slightly up above the main fabric - is there enough lining that I could do that or do I need to add another inch to that part? I love this project! Thank you for doing this tutorial - my husband is going garage sailing tomorrow so I think I'll surprise him with a shopping bag. AHHHHHH! Look at Jack and his headband!
1) You can definitely zig zag the bottom of the webbing. By the time the entire bag is completed you have stitched over those handles several times, so I don't feel the need. You can also add some tape to the bottom before stitching. 2) the real stress on the handles is where the bottom meets the sides. Putting the crosses at the top looks cool, though. No matter what bag you make, over filling it will shorten the lifespan of the bag. I get it, though. I do it, too. 3) It depends on how much lining you want showing. An eighth of an inch should be no problem. A half inch and you'll want to make the lining that much taller than the bag.
This is prettier than the shopping bags I made out of plain duck. May have to do one or two to liven things up.
I take my seams a little wider, I find it makes the bags stronger as they do seem to get a lot of use. I sometimes box my corners by cutting 1.5 inch squares on the bottoms. I have also done them by sewing the points that I attach to either the sides for strength or to the lining. Thank you for this turorial. I sometimes make my lining a tad longer so a small bit of lining nests on top of the outside, gives another look, then I top stitch.
I like you, I subscribed!
