I was an only child. I made a Barbie house from boxes and cardboard, asked for carpet samples for my Barbie, wallpaper too. Had running water from a Dixie cup with “elbow” straw for faucet, restaurant jelly container for sink…. Lots of creative ideas kept me playing for years. Curtains and quilt for Barbie. My homemade Barbie house was stolen along with my bike years later from the basement storage locker in our basement. I do not even have a photo, I’m now in my early 70’s and I still miss my Barbie house. Widowed, two adult kids, 4 grandchildren and I still love to sew. I am NEVER bored. Keeps my mind sharp too!
Such a cute bag. I always enjoy watching your videos and I always learn something new. I really love how you created the "Extra Sneaky Slip Pocket" and also adding the "Keychain Holder Strap". I will definitely be adding these to some of my bags. I love adding extra details that are unexpected. Part of the fun of sewing. As a kid my favorite toy were my Barbie dolls. It sort of started me on my way to sewing because I liked to make my own doll clothes. I would sew, knit and crochet all kinds of fun and unique clothes for them. I still have some of them.
I have always loved my Fisher Price Little People school bus from the early '70's. I still have it! Thanks for another great video! I can't wait to make this cute backpack!
Listen- we love you, Lauren, but Ben is the star of your channel. 🤣He's who we really want to see. 😉 When I was a kid we loved pound puppies, anything Rainbow Brite and Popples!
Hi Loren great video I love to watch you sew because you are to the point even with errors everyone makes errors. My favorite was the tip it game. You are young so you may not have heard of it. Thanks
Girl! You’ve got some muscles sewing that binding on and turning it right side out. Mmm. Fav toy as a kid, I can’t really remember any expect playing with ABBA cards❤❤
Lauren, im wondering if you could do a zipper pocket facing piece for those side pockets for a clean finish? Im definitely looking at doing this bag in the future and i will go about doing those pockets with that method if i can! (Melissa at Sew Yours has a tutorial for the process for any bag, so i shall see!)
i didn't play with toys so much as collect them. and my collection was all things STAR WARS. i still have everything, too (action figures, trading cards, dixie cups (!?!), etc.). my prized item is my REVENGE OF THE JEDI poster that my grandfather (who worked at the printing press that made them) snagged for me before they changed the name of the movie. ♥
My favourite toy as a kid: a blue-haired doll my Grammy bought me. I treasured her until my mom gave her away because I was “too old” and my cousin wanted her. 😭😭😭😭😭. It’s ok, I’m not traumatized or anything. 🤣🤣🤣
When I was making this bag I followed your video step by step. So it is really frustrating when you make a mistake or do something wrong then I do it also. It would have been nice if you could have edited your mistake so we don't do the same thing.

I loved making cardboard houses too! I hope whoever stole it got a lot of joy out of it. I’m so sorry that happened 😭
This bag is amazing and you make it look so easy! Excellent choice of fabrics and colors! 👍❤️
I love your supervisor. Very beautiful. This is so cute.
Creepy crawlers!! I loved them!

Ooh! Gorgeous! And that webbing is the exact colour I've been looking for everywhere for at least a year now.

Wow!!! Beautiful!!!
So excited you made this bag, I'm still intimidated by it. Favorite toys growing up: talking Alf stuffy and my brothers' Transformers 🤣🤣🤣

My favorite toy growing up was my roller skates 🛼. So many falls, skinned knees, bruises but I loved them
Favorite toys: Jump Rope, Jacks, Storybook Dolls (pre-Barbie), and it’s not a toy but I loved climbing trees. 😂
Oh Ben 😂, he’s being so needy. My Jack sits right next to the needle at times which is challenging to get the work under it to sew 😂oh kitties! 🐱
I loved my Cricket doll…. think Chuckie…. but with a sparkly personality😂😂😂
Love your Bubble Bag. I have yet to make it. I watched the whole video. 💜
My favorite toy - that's a hard one. Loved my Barbies. Also loved my Holly Hobby oven (basically an easy bake oven).
I love Ben. He just needs to hear your voice. Love him.
❤❤❤❤ Love how it came out! Love the print!
Vc é linda, parece uma bonequinha ❤....🎀🎀
Sua peça ficou linda.... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ben is a mood. Love him!
I loved using my Easy Bake Oven…best brownies a light bulb could ever make 😂
Girl! You’ve got some muscles sewing that binding on and turning it right side out. Mmm. Fav toy as a kid, I can’t really remember any expect playing with ABBA cards❤❤
My Eaton’s walking doll when I was a little girl. I loved that tall long haired girl!! ❤
Easy bake oven and candyland board game, were my favorites.
Omg yes
What a beautiful cat!
Nintendo game boy was definitely my favourite toy! the OG one!
Oh yessss
Hand made stuffed monkey I named Curious George that still 50+ years later overlooks my bed. Thanks for another great video.
I loved Barbies and Cabbage Patch Kids!!!
My favorite toy as a kid were my Barbie dolls. I still have them
The bag is gorgeous. Giant Tinker Toys

You could certainly try!

Oh that is AWESOME!
Amazing as always
hm favorite toy as a kid has to be my boot skates, they were so fun.
Love this bag
Milky the Marvelous Milking Cow. I still have mine from 47 years ago! 😮
A Jane West cowgirl doll from the Sears catalog (vintage 1967) 😊 She had a horse & all kinds of extras.
Omg sounds amazing
I also love how you sound like Dorothy (or she sounds like you), "Do you want to make it with me? Let's go! Come on! Let's go."
Bahaha it’s both 🤣
Huge well done.
I also used to bounce down our long stairway on my but, hmm i wonder why i have back issues at 61
Where you get your purple I guess vinyl from and Halloween vinyl from
The purple vinyl is lavender luxe from my website.
Cute bag, could you do the zippers raw edge like the purse pal zip and linning
Oh maybe!
I believe they were called creepy crawlers. I had them too as a child in the early 70s.
I always miss your live videos
This one wasn’t live so you’re good!
Can the lining be made out of quilting cotton?
Definitely
Can this pattern be made with cotton or cork?
Yes! It would be perfect in those materials
Love Ben❤
Can this be seen on a regular machine?
With the right materials yea
I think with some careful pressing and a lot of tape you could sandwich those side zippers between the layers to not have any exposed zipper tape
I think you’re right!
Adorable
Do you have to join for $3 a month on the pattern makers site to purchase this pattern. Not sure what I hit.
No she has an Etsy after 3 mo she releases the new pattern
Do you think this bag would make a good diaper bag?
Not likely no
What is the name of your red handle scissors? Thank you!
