What a great tutorial! This is the second tutorial of yours that I've tried and they both turned out amazing, I love the production value of your videos, they're super easy to follow and thank you SO MUCH for the metric conversions, I've given up on so many other tutorials because I got annoyed by having to convert everything myself!
It is! I would definitely recommend you to get a sewing machine. You can find decent second hand machines very inexpensively. It would make a dramatic difference in the speed and the variety of projects you can make
happy holiday to you and the family!! thats so cute!! I know you can make harder stuffs...🤩I appreciated them all.. 🙏and very happy when you have tutorials on the ones that I can make...thank you so much for that😁.. have a great New year Ms.
Thank you so much, Joey. Happy holidays to you abd yours! With Christmas just around the corner I am all about quick and easy sews. We can leave the more difficult ones for when we have the time :)
Hello! Sorry for the question I am new. I'd like to make smaller sizes, how do I calculate how much fabric I need? for instance, in your video 8" x 18" fabric yielded a 7" bag. What about smaller sizes? Thank you so much I really appreciate the tutorial!
As a beginner, I find this tutorial extremely helpful. However, I'm not sure if it's my cheap fabric or if this is normal, but threads come off the edges so I'm trying to figure out how to make it more polished. Could I double the seam width and fold them twice before sewing, or would that make the bag too bulky? Or should I invest in better fabric? Sorry if this is a dumb question, complete noob here. 😅
You could try making a French Seam. This would stop the fraying. I’ve used French seams on the outside of slip covers. These seams, depending upon the width, can look like piping. You will find many uses for the French Seam. Good Luck. If I were with you, I’d help. I’ve been sewing on a machine since I was 5, sitting on my aunt’s lap. I’ll be 70 in a couple of months. Sewing is wonderful. Enjoy it. Here’s a tutorial for French Seams. ua-cam.com/video/YYa86gQbN6c/v-deo.htmlsi=Z2U3KYMbCw_JZYFi
Do you have pinking shears? The other option is a rotary cutter using a pinking blade (this is what I use and I love it - so much faster and neater too!) It also looks great after. Whichever you have, trim the edges with either the shears or the pinking blade. You get a better finish with the rotary pinking blade, in my opinion, only because actual pinking shears are heavy and it's hard to eyeball a straight line edge.
@@HelloSewing Thanks! I might have to get to a craft store and try to find something like that. My mother has one, but it's only a shorter one, so I don't think I could use it for this.
I agree. Whenever there's text on the screen as well it's probably better to just use instrumental music instead of something that has singing in it as well. Sure you can turn the volume down, but why not provide feedback that can perhaps make someone's content better and reach more people?
I am new at sewing at the age of 57. I love this tutorial and I made to bags today. Thank you 😊
The easiest drawstring bag tutorial I have tried. I am now churning them out for our Operation Christmas Child project.
I love this idea. I’ll do it for next year!!
Great tutorial!! I also added the extra step of zig-zagging all the seams before turning right side out.
Thank you so much for this amazing turtorial!! 🎉 I can't wait to make them for my jewelry business. 😊 And I love the song....so inspirational!!!!! 🎶 ❤
After 2 days of trying other patterns, I had given up. Then I found this tutorial-& had easy success. Thank you!
Aww thank you! So glad to hear you had easy success with it
I am gifting candles and this was the perfect bag!!
Thank you! This is perfect! I wanted to make a pouch for some dried lavender. This is just what I needed
It is! So quick and easy
Very thoughtful of you to use metric measures. As far as I am concerned you make the différence. 👏 from France.
Awe thank you. Your comment made my fay
Helpful video! I liked the music too :)

Thanks for the tutorial! I was sewing by hand and it was easy enough for me to follow. ✌️

@@HelloSewing thank you as well, and yes its crazy for us right now. We appreciate all your sewing tutorials,, 😁enjoy the rest of week😉
Thank you!!
You are welcome
What do you use for the ties?
I wonder if I crocheted it - maybe that would work to help cut the cost of making a few of these. I like your easy directions-thankyou

Zig zag the open edges.
Useful little storage or gift bag 😊. But made in 10 minutes, I don’t think so ….. 😂😂
Practice makes perfect. If you make a second bag you will find out you made it much faster than the first one.
What size is the fabric to make a small bag like the pink one in the beginning of your video? Thanks for the tutorial!
For the mini bag you can try 5 x 15" for a finished bag approximately 4 x 6"
What's the thing which looked like a giant skewer, that you used to draw the strings through?
Its a bodkin :)
@@HelloSewing Thanks! I might have to get to a craft store and try to find something like that. My mother has one, but it's only a shorter one, so I don't think I could use it for this.
Oh wait, just watched the video again.. I used a loop turner hook here :)
I usually use a bodkin. Both would work though
tutorial is intetesting but the song or the music is a little loud as a beginner trying to follow instructions
Sorry about that. You can turn the volume down or even turn it off
Just a slight criticism...I found the music very distracting.
turn off the volume
@@2pr4nkl3z maybe don't put such distracting music on at all.
@@sarahelliott5790 maybe stop being negative and just be grateful you can find anything you want anytime you want on the internet
I agree. Whenever there's text on the screen as well it's probably better to just use instrumental music instead of something that has singing in it as well. Sure you can turn the volume down, but why not provide feedback that can perhaps make someone's content better and reach more people?
Agreed. Great video otherwise
It’s not all about you some people can’t focus on silence and it makes it less interesting
I pissed myself cuz of the music
You can turn it off with a click of a button :)
