I go to a cancer appt each month and I notice most chemo patients carry a bag of stuff as they will be there for awhile. This would fit the bill to take socks, fleece lap cover, sweater, tablet, earbuds, water bottle etc. Sometimes backpacks put pressure on the wrong spot or are too hard to manipulate...a bag like this in a beautiful color or design...perfect. Make one, donate one. What a lovely gift! Thank you...glad I found your channel.
@sissuesace thank you for this wonderful idea!
Beautiful idea as I am omw to Dollar Tree🤭
That's a terrific idea! Also, I send prayers for your health.
Oh my gosh I made one with a baby machine with no backstitch! You are so much fun!
You could sew velcro to be able to close it if needed. Or a button with a scrap material rolled or a tiny strap to hook around the button. I think it would be a great bag for a baby bottle diaper wipes for a quick trip to the store. What about a bag for a change of clothes for the park or toddler or child activity.
I’ve never commented on a video before but I just wanted to tell you that you are a natural teacher. I usually fast forward through videos and this time I watched the entire video. Great job!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
Me too!
I am new to your channel and happy to have found it. I have sewn for almost 50 years. I love your commentary as you sew. The information about needles and stitch length is seldom mentioned but can make such a difference in the end product. Another economical fabric source is old sheets or pillow cases for lining. Thanks for your time and willingness to share. If you are new to sewing or have been sewing for years, you can always learn new techniques and tips.😊
34:19 same here!! I don’t usually watch all the video but after spending the last little bit learning how to make the bag, I feel like I’ve had an afternoon visit with a good friend!!
You’re a natural teacher! So pleasant! Perfect remarks!
Thank you-also, I stated keeping bees a few years ago (which I love!), so as it happens, the bag you made caught my attention!
This turned out so cute. Thanks for sharing. You have a great cadence for teaching and explaining how to sew in an encouraging way that I really like. ❤
Thank you so much!
I love how you go slow and explain everything.
I'm 77 and have sewn like this for YEARS... I sew every day in retirement and wish that more people would find the joy and peace that can come with crafting and quilting... TY for bring this to the foreground... I hope more young people find this and realize that "perfect" does not exist! Just have fun and grown with it!
Hi, just found your channel and enjoyed you so much! Love your bag, I’m on a bag kick😂 right now. So I’m going to DH to buy some dish drying mats and get started! Thanks
I found this video and Love the tutorial! Thanks for your comment 🌷💕
Thank you Barbara, I have wanted to sew for years but had no time as was working 5-6 days. Took a year off work and starting to sew but fond it intimidating. But will keep doing baby steps😊
Thank you for your practical helpful and informative clip. So 👍 good😊
For the last nearly 10 years I've been severely disabled can barely walk or do anything anymore I'm just turned 43 I think if I hadn't had crafting and my kids I wud have give so ages ago I crochet do card crafting jewellery and started sewing aug 2023
I can't believe you have less than 10k subscribers on here. You are a natural teacher and do such fun projects.
Thank you! 😊
I agree!
I agree too I have learned so much from your videos
I added!
💯 % AGREE 😊
Glad I found you Chelsea you are an awesome teacher and love love love your positive attitude!! We need more Chelsea in the world ❤God bless you !!
Please more easy sew along, real time with talking about exactly what you are doing!!! This is so helpful and not many people make these!!! I’ll tell everyone to watch!!!
Thank you, you go slow enough to understand everything. ❤
Happy to help!
A half hour well spent. Thank you.
Enjoyed this video and will be looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
You are awesome and the bag is so darning. I’m a 68 disabled woman that has not sewed in a long time, and you just gave me Christmas gift ideas for my4 daughter and 7 granddaughter. THANK YOU 🙏🏻❤️
Bible 'n' snack bag. Tablet/iPad bag. Produce bag....
I don’t sew. At all. BUT! This video was in my feed and I watched it and I enjoyed it! I actually have my Grandmother’s Singer sewing machine from the 40’s. You have given me the confidence that I might just try one of these! Thanks for the tutorial and inspiration. You’re easy to learn from, have a lovely voice, bubbly personality and remind me of my beautiful best friend when I was a kid.
Please share your finished product. Don’t forget, “perfect” does not exist! Best of luck to you!🙂
Wow!! I hope you do try it one day
Treasure that machine. It’s a high value item
Great tutorial, Chelsea! Your Home Ec teacher really must have been a good influence on you. I've been sewing for years and still learning more from you. Can't believe yet that I made a duffle bag and a market bag out of a dish drain mat. Who'd a thought huh? Great ideas! Keep the real-time videos coming...love them all! You're a real treasure to all and a beautiful girl, inside and out! ❤❤
Thank you ssoooo much for doing this. I have $5.00, so I can make me a handbag. Or tote bag or whatever I choose to use it for. I really appreciate your help and tutorial. Amazing. ❤
You are so welcome!
My son's fiancee wants to learn to sew. I got her sewing machine all tuned up & now getting things ready for her to learn the basics before she ventures out on her own. Also glad she wants to do this as it will get me back sewing again, as well as my cousin too.
Thank u sooooo much for this idea, it is great!!
♥️ 🇨🇦
I have made 3 of these bags this weekend. My friends are loving them. Each one I added something different to it… this has brought me sew much joy. My husband said I have not seen you sew this much. I showed him your UA-cam page and said That’s my Girl! She got me started sewing again! Thank you Chelsea!
Awww I love this!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Love this! And also I don’t see a problem with singing! What do you always say to us- it’s your world I’m just living in it!!!! Sing your heart out girlfriend!
😂😂😂 I guess it does go both ways!
I just finished my bag!!! I am so freaking proud of myself. I've only ever made pillows and blankets. Super simple rectangle or square projects. So this was completely out of my comfort zone!!! Thank you for your tutorial!!
You won me over when you said, "I iron, I don't press". I do the same. When you iron, you can block at the same time, and even out small variances. Yes I am a quilter, but I iron. Thanks for the tutorial.
I iron my fabric also and my projects come out just fine. The only time I will press is if my quilt blocks have bias seams, gotta be careful with those bias seams. Everyone should just do what works for them, after all it’s supposed to be fun, and we shouldn’t worry about what others say about our desire to iron vs pressing. 😂
I love both types of videos. The quick ones and the longer tutorials. Thank you for doing them❤
Glad you like them!
I like this young lady with the “Betty Rubble” laugh. Good teacher. Thank you for a great idea.
😂😂😂😂
So funny. My mom says I have a Betty Ruble laugh, too! 🤣
U are a born teacher. Just completed this bag using same dry mats . My grand kids school symbol is the bee. I’m a fairly new quilter and love to dabble in easy sewing projects to make gifts when I can. Only thing I changed was stitch length to 3.5 to get through the double layers of foam. U are amazing straight foward and building confidence. This also was a very forgiving project. Teachers are always lugging around tons of stuff. Will try to figure out how to send picture. Thank u C
Just found this video. I’m hooked! You are such a great teacher. Heading to the dollar tree. Love the bee s
Welcome!!
I just found you today. I’m a 68 year old Nana and haven’t sewn (if that’s what you call sewing) since my Freshman year in high school 69/70? Anyway I ordered a lil Singer machine 2 days ago. So I know nothing. But I’m gonna follow you. I enjoyed your tutorial. So here’s to our sewing projects❣️
Welcome!!
I used to volunteer in my son's elementary school. Every year I would go to the 1st grade classes and teach them to sew pillows. We would use felt because it doesn't fray. I used blunt embroidery needles so no one gets hurt. The kids loved the project and began to be one of the most exciting days of the year. My own son was sewing with the machine by himself by the time he was 6. Sewing with kids is a life skill that is still taught in schools around the world sadly not in the USA. I highly recommend!
I’ve sewed for 65 years and have still learned from you. You are such a wonderful teacher!!! Every one needs someone like you for teaching them!!!❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
I loved your video, I’ll be watching more after I leave this message. Don’t stop the humming, singing and laughing, like you said there are no quilt/sewing police. Thank you for such and easy bag tutorial!! Keep up the great work there are so many of us who appreciate what you do!!
So cute! I would love to see more of these types of videos! You explain things very well as you go, and they are short enough for me to watch while I’m eating breakfast and plan my day.
love your market bag. Our Dollar Tree here in NH has ugly fat quarters and I have only found the mats once or twice. Thanks for the tutorial.
I am in NH and i agree.
I definitely enjoyed this video format! I would love to see any baby clothes or toys tutorials if they’re possible, even with dollar tree items!
⭐️⭐️ MAKE A CASSEROLE CARRYING BAG PLEASE ⭐️⭐️ Like a flat square or rectangle. That would be a great idea for carrying food since its padded.
I like your longer tutorials because they show more details. I would’ve never thought of using dish mats to make a tote bag! How clever and economical! Thank you! Keep those projects coming!
Love! I did see the travel roll up. It's totally my jam. I'd love to see you do a full tutorial on that, if you have the time and desire. I'd super appreciate it 😊
You got it!
I really appreciate you took into account that not everybody has sewing skills, but there are people like me who really want to learn! Thank you! :) Love the bag!!!
You are so welcome!
I'm perfectly content with the abbreviated tutorials, but I'm watching to provide support! I found you on tiktok and i love this series! So fun and accessible!
Edit: also, pressing is for seams. Gentle ironing is for getting wrinkles out.
Love this video! You don’t know how many others’ 34:19 I’ve watched and felt I was missing something. This is perfect. I would add that some might want to iron the little open area in the lining so that their 1/4” seam allowance is straight and then sewable, but great instructions!
I shop at Dollar Tree all the time and NEVER thought to use these instead of fabric n batting for bags. So smart!
I am making one but going to turn it an sew on the short side and sew it in half to make a wine bag for the hostess gift. You should sew one too and show all your peeps m. ❤
Please close your rotary cutter every time you put it down! I once saw someone severely cut her hand when she reached without looking. She had 38 stitches on the inside of her fingers and spent a week not able to use that hand. I know it’s a pain to reopen it every cut. It just takes one grab to cause issues!
I love your sewing tutorials. I also learned to sew in home ec in school. It’s missing in today’s schools. I have made two duffel bags. Working on a smaller one and a makeup bag. You are a natural teacher. Keep up the good work.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
This is an awesome and simple project. I'm going to ask my 11 yr old granddaughter if she would like to sew this for her mother's birthday gift. I want to make one for me too!
I cannot sew. Maybe a button, or fix a hole. So just watching you is very calming. I probably will never sew but your tutorials are so fantastic that I may start when I retire and have time. Thank u. Keep it up. You are wondetful.
Oh thank you!
I would say the bag could be used as a project bag for crochet, knitting or needle work.
5$. Man, thats a money maker. I just subscrib3d. My sewing machine is in storage3 right now. but when i get more room, in my rental room, ill binge watch you.
THIS IS GREAT FOR GROCERY SHOPPING and will do well with the extra padding for cold goods.
I think I may have added a big funky button with a loop closure for the top.
You've included a lot of useful tips in this video. I appreciate it!
I love this pattern. I am now trying to look for dish drying mats like that in U.K. 😂
Oh ya someone who explained what "nesting" means, Thank you so much! Have you thought about doing quilt lines or even pockets on your dish drying mat tote? I bet it would look so cute. 🥰😍🤩
Great idea!
I added snaps to mine!! Love this tutorial thank you so much ❤😊
This was meant for me. I just had knee replacement and on a walker right now. I am going to make one with shorter handles and put Velcro on them so I can attach to the front bar of the walker. I knew I needed to make a bag, and this is it. I can put my glasses, phone, etc in it. Will make my life so much easier. And, my hubby won’t have to fetch everything for me. He is great, but what steps I can save him will be nice. Thank you so much!!
Yes this should work perfectly! Best wishes for a fast recovery! ❤️🩹
❤ Awesome tutorial Chelsea. Natural teacher. 🐝🐝🐝
Glad you liked it!!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL… found you on instagram and didn’t realize you had a UA-cam channel. I love the pace, I also love the idea of finding things to sew on a budget… I am super excited!!! I will tell EVERYONE about your channel
Thank you so much!!
Loved every single minute of this video. I like the pace of this video much better than a quick reel, so thank you for doing it. I actually bought a couple of these bee drying mats because of your reel on Instagram. I’m off to make my very own market bag. 🥰
I love this!!! Can you do more tutorials? Zippers are my enemy 😅.
Ugh, zippers. My enemy too.
Thanks for your fun tutorials. You do a great job of teaching. One thing I noticed, as a longtime sewer, is I strongly recommend closing your rotary cutter when you set it down as you are focusing on beginner sewers. Once you’ve become accustomed to working with the cutter, then you probably won’t be as diligent, but as beginners probably aren’t aware of how sharp or how quickly you can be cut by them. Just a thought…
Great tip!
You have an awesome personality and I enjoyed the tutorial . Thanks for no music, as nice to hear your instructions
I really love the way you teach such a beginner friendly way of making this bag! I will definitely be trying this! I do like the longer tutorials on sewing! It makes it easy to follow and learn!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Also, I want to buy a new machine, what brand do you have or suggest?
Here is a link to my favorite beginner friendly machines! amzn.to/44iwCL8
You are such a positive person, and your teaching is perfect. You definitely make it so simple to sew. Thank you so much for being a great teacher!
Thank you so much!
I would use this bag for EVERYTHING! Groceries, beach bag, GIFTS! Like the bag is the gift and put a six pac k of Coca Cola in it, etc!
Your teacher should be so proud of ! You did a wonderful job. Thanks
Thank you so much!
I made one! It is a little wonky but I am going to make another soon!
yes!! love the slowed down version...I need one for your wet bag!!!
Coming soon!
Thank you so much I found you on Tik Tok ....subscribed to you here ❤ I found the black and white fabric in our Dollar Tree here in Canada before watching this now to find the bee drying mat 😉 you certainly have the knack for teaching 😊
Thank you!
I absolutely love this slower that way I don't have to keep going back thank you so much
Glad you enjoy it!
I was watching the Chad Daybell trial, and your video popped up and it’s so relaxing to watch you. I love to sew! And THANK YOU for this tutorial!! New SUBSCRIBER ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌷🌷
I've been sewing for years but always interested in a quick gift for a friend. Pockets on the outside is something I would add.
What a great little project! I only just found your channel because I saw a post of yours on FB, I think🤔or maybe it was Instagram🤷🏻♀️So glad I found you. You've got great fun ideas. And ... keep singing 🎶🎉I love the joy🩷
Can't wait to try these! I love using reusable bags instead of paper gift bags for gift giving
Such a great idea. Multi purpose.
Great job and sew cute!! I hope to find the bee dish mat. I would love it if you’d do a UA-cam video of the little crossbody bag!❤
Great idea!
I ran across your video today while not feeling well and you made me smile with your Dollar Tree bee bag. Your voice is soothing & comforting. Thank you.🎉
You are so welcome - feel better!!
I subscribed seeing the dish drying Matt tutorial my first time watching 😊👍🏻👍🏻🪡🧵🤗
Awesome! Thank you!
I love that you don't have to use interfacing and the bag has a nice fluffiness!
Me too!!
I am so happy I found you!!! You're amazing, funny, and talented!! Since seeing this tutorial on Tuesday, yes, just 4 days ago, I've made a bag every day. Shared this with my cousin, who made 3 immediately. We are both beginner sewists, so this is perfect for us!
She and I have both put pockets inside. They make all the difference!
One question, is there a way to make this with 3 mats? I can envision it as a color block, with a solid mat on the bottom and then the cute pattern on the top. This would give it 6" more on each side. I am going to attempt it, but not sure exactly how to box the bottom.
Anyway, i wish i could post a few pictures of my creations, but i can't figure how to do so. Anyway, a million THANKS!
You are wonderful, I so enjoyed this project, and one of the comments actually gave me an idea about making these for Chemo and kidney facilities to donate. Our DAR sisters are busy sewing these for our health project in Cape Coral. You go girl, and what a wonderful instructor you are.
Maryola, Lawrence Kearny DAR Regent
Oh my goodness!!! What wonderful giving hearts you all have! I love this!!!!!!
@@shesewsseams I also used left over quilted fabric to make a couple of the bags, they turned out very nice, I used bias tape to cover the raw edges, then followed the same instructions. I really enjoy your energy. Keep going with these videos you're terrific.
Maryola
Love your video! You are so sweet and informative 😊. Thank you for being patient ❤
Yes I like the longer, no rushed videos. So happy I stumbled across your site.
Yay! Thank you!
Beautiful bag. I would use it for church. Use it for my Bible and notebook. My iPad. I would put a small strap and button or snap to close it. Or if you’re good with zippers . Put that in. I’ve been only watching a couple of time but the bags you have made are terrific. I would like to try one before summer is over.
You have been an inspiration to me! THANK YOU . Ive sewn on & off for 50 years + but have had a hard time lately returning to the craft that I love, Thank you for inspiring me with simple, beautiful pieces that I am proud of sharing, using & giving. You are a joy to watch & listen to also. Keep up the amazing work :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Ohhh..my goodness..I love..love this idea 💡..I'm making pillows out of the 🍋 lemon placemats..but this is cool too 😎
I’m 73 and 3/4 😂 🪡🧵😊
This would be a good overnight bag. Thank you for your video. I just bought myself a sewing machine for a Christmas gift from me for me, but I don’t know how to use it. It’s a quilting sewing machine with embroidery ability.
OMGosh!! That bag is adorable. I have been sewing since I was 8 years old and I am now 68! This is one of the cutest projects I have seen in a long time!! You are so good at explaining what you are doing and a great encouraging force for women who are just starting to sew! I have always said that if you can sew you can do anything and bring out your own personality and style! I love this! Great job!
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I found you! I'm in Australia so I'll be going to our "Reject shop " tomorrow! I was looking for a bag today suitable for my art papers, you've inspired me to make my own. So far I have made one quilt which was start to finish in a class.
I’ve been sewing for years but there is always more to learn! I adore you and love your Dollar Store series! Thank you for sharing your talent and skills! 🥰
You are so welcome!
Good morning from Central Arkansas. I just came across your channel, and I love it. I have been looking for a different way to create a bag for my Bible. Your design will work great. Thanks for all you do. ❤
I have been sewing for 41 years never made a cute bag like that. Thank you for the tips was so easy. You are a great teacher! Glad I started watching UA-cam sewing tutorials. Lots of cute things made on here. Can't wait to see what is next.
You are so welcome!
I will head to DT and pick up some mats. I have enough fabric to make lining for a thousand, lol. 😂 i have a roll of webbing that i will use for handles. Thanks for the great idea. Just found you today...ne subscriber!
I am going to make these for my trip to the grocery store every week. They are just beautiful and very versatile. You made this video very fun to watch. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I agree with the comments that say you are a natural teacher! You’re so pleasant and not intimidating at all. You’re doing a great job and I hope some young people especially those on a tight budget will start watching and doing some of the projects.
I like the long format.
Great idea!!! You’re a natural teacher!!! (Those fat quarters look a lot longer than fat quarters I’ve used--or do I need new glasses??? 😂😂😂)
You are a joy to watch. I know how to make a bag like this but I still enjoy watching this. You make things easy to understand and give confidence to achieving this. Some ppl are hard to watch.
You are an inspiring teacher and I love your positive ways that make everyone at ease. Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching ❤
This bag is ALMOST as adorable as you, Chelsea! First time watcher here, long time sewer, and I'll be watching many more of your videos. Thank you, keep singing!
Chelsea, I just caught your video. I love your teaching style. What a lovely person to teach her skills in a way that people wont get anxiety in learning to sell. Thank you for that. Got to go look and more of your videos.
I just found your channel and subbed after I watched your delightful video. I've made bags out of many materials, but I love this idea! If you don't box the corners, it would be great to carry a laptop, too.
You could add a third mat to make the "bottom" - it would make the bag a bit taller. It might require a 3rd Fat Quarter, so the price would go from $5.00 to $7.50.
Thank you for sharing this! I have passed it on to two of my sisters and a cousin.
These tote bags will be perfect to make and donate to our church's Master Closet.
I watched this right after you posted it and finally got to the 💲store today....I will be sewing up some bags tomorrow! Great video, very clever! Thanks...btw my grandmom bought me a Kenmore in 1979....I was 11 y.o. and not fully appreciative of this Wonderful gift...it basically sat for 40 years moving with me from house to house until I was brave enough to learn. I wish my grandmom knew how much I love sewing now! I make all my own clothes and tons of other goodies thanks to youtubers like you!
I'm going to try and sew 4 of the drying mats together and see how lg. a bag I get. These would be great for the Sewing Group I attend at the Peitz Cancer House Where I live. Kinda of a Thank You for there support and fun times at the meetings.
I am a first time watcher and I really enjoyed this video. I’m a medium level sewer, and have made bags before, but love this idea! I really enjoyed this style of video where you explain and show everything.
