    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.

    Teacher, you done good! I had to buy a walking foot for my machine. I've not yet attached it to my machine and gotten back to my project again since before Christmas. Now that the holidays are over, I can devote more time to them. I am not going to do this bag with a zipper I am just doing one of your other tote bags. It is the one you did for fall with the pumpkins and potholder pocket. Depending on how well that one turns out I may try a zipper bag. I love all your projects especially the Dollar Tree ones. Thanks for sharing

    Chelsea, here's a crazy cool tip for edge stitching, like on your straps, that I've learned in the last year or so. If you're machine has a mirror image option, you can set the option to move your needle to the left position and stitch down the left side of your strap. Then to stitch the right edge, select the mirror image option. This will move your needle to the same position, but on the right side of center. Doing it this way, you can rest the entire presser foot in the fabric instead of half on and half off. It also helps prevent any wrinkling from being fed through in two directions.

    I’ve made a few bags but I’m still new to this I’ve made a tote bag not with dish dry foam & the bottom after was a little soft so I bought a hard plastic place mat & cut it the size of the bottom of the tote after I finished the tote I I then covered the plastic piece with the same lining by sewing it & was able to use in the bottom of the bag therefore making it usable with a firmer base or using it without but keep those videos coming !!! I’ve already learned a lot & you’re right it makes it more fun!!! Thanks!!

  • @carlyk502
    @carlyk502 7 місяців 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

    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.

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.

    Old jeans could be cut and used for the handles. Also, we used to cut all buttons off of old clothing and zippers. One of the zippers from these could be utilized as practicing working with zippers.

    Hey Chelsea I am so in love with your channel and your videos… I was wandering if you could do the watermelon duffle bag with a lining? I want to make this so badly but I like bags with linings. Please if you could do one with a lining. Thank you ma’am.
