    I love your videos, I can’t get enough of them! Your bubbly, sassy, over-the-top sense of humor personality has me coming back all the time. If we were to look up the word “fun” in a dictionary, I’m almost sure that your picture & definition would be there. Thank you for all that you do, YOU put the fun in the impossible. Your videos are so concise, & down-to-earth. I consider myself a seasoned sewist, yet I always look forward to your videos every time.

I have long hours ahead of me and I am SO happy I found your channel. I am enjoying your videos very much and learning and your energy has eased my pain and frustration with a “return flight from a vacation trip gone wrong”. Thank you!! Thank you!!! And guess where I am going first thing when I get to New Mexico? Dollar Tree!!😂😂. Beautiful bag. Awesome energy. God bless. 🌺

  • @carlyk502
    @carlyk502 Місяць тому +6

    Or, rather than buying a fat quarter for the handles, buy 2 rolls of ribbon, & line w/the interfacing & sew the ribbon back to back to make the straps. Now the straps match the decorator ribbon down the middle of the bag. Done & Done. Now your duffle bag is totally cohesive w/the total vibe that you originally set out to do. Give yourself a pat on the back, because you did it! Yay you!!!! Congratulations.

    • @loisgehman949
      @loisgehman949 Місяць тому +1

      This is a great idea!… I think I would do the same thing but use a fat quarter for the straps and sew the ribbon on top of the fat quarter straps so that there’s a bit of the fat quarter on each side of the ribbon.

I think I might try it...thank you!

    Oh, oh, this one would be perfect to add a luggage trolley sleeve to, just before you add the handles. I just saw a tutorial for that, which was a super easy add-on to any bag that has the handles tyle that gets sewn down onto the bag like that! Umm, I forgot the creator, but just search for how to add a a trolley sleeve to a bag

Somebody made the comment that you are the Mr. Rogers of Sewing and I greatly agree with that because I’m 78 years old and I learned a lot from you and I think that’s awesome. I will watch your videos and learn from you and probably be able to get some new projects going for myself. You are not only informative. You’ve got the greatest personality and you are the sweetest lady. Please don’t ever lose that personality of yours. You should be on a national channel craft channel somewhere because you are really good and I’m just so glad that I ran into you. Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment and for all of the things that I’m learning from you. Just keep going girl the more you go the more we all learn thank you,

    I just discovered your channel!! Holeee smokes. I never knew how to box a corner. And truthfully zippers terrify me. I’m working up to it though. I feel confidence building up. With all the dishmat things to make, I was wondering if you could show us how to make appliance covers. Toaster, stand mixer, etc. start with what measurements need to be taken and go all the way through to a beautimous air fryer cover. I think the dish mats might be good for this but maybe some quilted fabric? I’d love to learn how

  • @RaeAnnePond
    @RaeAnnePond Місяць тому +1

    This is a terrific project. I especially like the directions you give, as if we have never sewn before, even if we have. It makes me feel so safe in doing this project. So many seamstresses make a tutorial for novice sewers and that is difficult to follow. I do have a tip for those zipper tabs to share. It is a huge fabric and finger saver! I take a two by two inch piece of scrap fabric, fold it in half. Then put the needle on that, in the middle and it will give the needle something to grab onto so your small pieces of sewing do not get stuck in the machine. Just sew from the middle of your scrap square right to your small sewing area and BAMMO! You can complete the stitching without your needle getting stuck! I'm a quilter and I use that tip all the time, which was demonstrated to me from a fellow quilter. And also, thank you for showing how the baby lock works. I always wondered if it was worth the money.
