    I did a few of these for my kids, they loved them! I added a handle to make it easier for them to carry with their bookbags.

    Vanessa - really cute bag! Quick tip - if you cut your insulfleece slightly larger than your cotton, you can quilt continuously - stitching along the waste to get to the next row of quilting. :) Then just trim it all after you're done quilting!

    I just finished making the lunch sack! I added handles (pillaged from a gift bag). Also after I topstitched the top, I stitched in the ditch down the side seam several inches to keep the lining from billowing up. Great video. Thank you!!!

      Beth Arcuri I read her messages on one of the Blogs. She is one busylady, going back and forth from Missouri to Florida. So that mightbe the reason, this tutorial was that way. I do love her tutorials andhappy she is doing so well. Still a fan, with or without the smile.Take care. Barb Bohr

    Love these projects... you are such an inspiration to us all... especially the newbies:)
    I'm a 50 yr veteran,,, so i'd like to share something....
    I find a stitch length of 4 keeps the fabric pretty stable and prevents puckering as well as beginning in the center and working "outward" sometimes helpful with the quilting.
    Keep up the good work... and thanks for coming to MSQC to help we loyal fans..:))

    As a substitute teacher I could sure use one of these, but I have kids who work and grandkids who go to school and I think everyone would love one of these. I just bought fabric to make drawstring backpacks for three of the girls. I had just made my son one to take his swimsuit and towel to the river on campus. But, I think they may get the Lunch Sacks as well.

  • @magistra137
    @magistra137 9 років тому

    I keep meaning to say this and for some reason keep forgetting but whoever does your camera work does a really nice job. I keep assuming it's your husband, but I guess it could be a friend. Whoever it is, I think they contribute a lot towards your videos because I can just focus on you and the project. Quite often other people are adjusting their own camera and there are other distractions that can make watching their videos a little less pleasant :). I'm definitely planning on making one of these. I think I might try some laminated fabríc. Thank you for the tutorial!

  • @WickedMel316

    Hi! I really enjoy your videos and projects! I have one question/comment. I continually have issues with lining fitting properly. This is across the board - not just this bag - but most bags. Everybody's tutorials say that if you cut and stitch accurately, the lining with fit nicely. I am soooo super careful when cutting and I use different techniques for keeping seam allowances consistent - it's almost maddening. But, the lining is always too big. Does anybody else have this problem? What have you done to solve the issue? Oh, I made this bag (lining too big) for a gift, but I took it on a road test and got many compliments - love it!!!

    • @donnahaynes8766
      @donnahaynes8766 4 роки тому

      Many bag designers/bag "tutors" recommend taking a slightly larger seam allowance in the lining. for instance, take the same maybe 1/2" seam allowance near the top of the bag where the lining and exterior will be firmly joined but increase your seam allowance to maybe 5/8" after you get an inch or so down from that top edge. that way your lining is just a bit smaller than the exterior and fits very neatly without being too saggy. (I just realized that I am responding to a 5 year old post, but if you haven't caught on to this tidbit it may still be useful to you. happy sewing!)

  • @Shawn.72
    @Shawn.72 3 роки тому

    I have a question, instead of making the box corners they way you demo'd, could you cut a 2" square out of the bottoms of both liner and outside piece. And then after stitching all around so those open the corners seam to seam and stitch across?

  • @kellinike
    @kellinike 9 років тому +4

    So cute! Can't wait to make one. I have one quick question. With the lining, is it necessary to to cut off the corners like you did with the outer fabric? Or is it not necessary where it's not as bulky?

    • @TheCraftyGemini
      @TheCraftyGemini 9 років тому +1

      kellinike It's not necessary if the bulk doesn't bother you. :)

    • @freewayz155
      @freewayz155 9 років тому +2

      I think for the oven mitts the shiny side would needs to be facing the outside like you already do...because the heat comes from the outside and you are trying to deflect it from your hand on the inside...if that makes any sense.😉

  • @Carolmcwade
    @Carolmcwade 6 років тому
