    Just found you as I was scrolling along UA-cam looking for something I wanted to watch. I immediately noticed you don't have the music, that most people have on. Which made me soooo happy. I loved your personality, and you didn't talk for 20 minutes before starting the instructions, which I also loved. So I subscribed. Can't wait to see what you do next!

      STRONGLY AGREE with you about NO music. tastes vary in music, plus it is DISTRACTING IMHO.

    What a fabulous idea. These would be great with one side having the clear plastic for a window to see project inside 😊

  • @franklyfostertv
    @franklyfostertv 5 місяців тому +42

    I have tons of zippers but I still think this is a very clever idea! I would even think it would be smart to leave the plastic bag and just add an outer fabric! Especially for travel!!

    • @thegingercatstitcher
      @thegingercatstitcher  5 місяців тому +3

      Yes that would make a great travel bag! Thank you for watching and commenting!

    Such a great project!
    FYI The man who invented the slider would have loved this idea. He passed last year. We attended the same church for years. He also was my daughters Sunday School Teacher. At his memorial service I was so amazed to hear all he had patented. He also invented the bean bag chair 😊
    Happy crafting 🩵

    @franwilson9324 5 місяців тому +12

    This is brilliant! Zippers get expensive when you need a lot of them. I think these would make very light weight, but super cute travel organizers too. Thanks so much for the good explanation!

    My mom made me a circular needle notebook with these types of bags in 2005, they all still work and are holding up. Surprisingly the bags even look good after all these years of dealing with the points of my dpns and 16in. circulars. I always have a hat project with me since I donate. I love this idea. I reuse my bags and wash them until they are no good. But now I can upcycle the slider part. Love it ❤ Happy stitching 🪡

    This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I'll use this as a project for my monthly sewing group to make for community service bags for the homeless and low-income families that my church serves, as well as for my 99 yr old mother who can't operate the other type of zipper bags.

    I'll be using whole bag as the added protection from moisture appeals to me and there is no waste. Cute idea, thanks.

  • @eileenfb1948
    @eileenfb1948 5 місяців тому +3

    I haven't seen anything like this. Thank you so much. It will work out cheaper than buying a zip and fabric to line it - planning to make bags for children's charity so this is very helpful.

    Those will be great done with "old favorites" t-shirt designs for loved ones. My Husband and grown kids have so many. Great additions for gifting with a t-shirt quilt! Or to bring with you or send with someone, traveling.

    Brilliant idea! Idea for the part of the bag that you cut off: Cut a piece just larger than paper size, bind it with trim, tack it to the front of the bag. Now you have a window for a picture of the pattern that is inside the bag

    I have an idea for you to use the plastic bag. After you put the lining in slide the plastic bag down inside the lining then sew the top. Just a suggestion

  • @littleprairiepurl5175
    @littleprairiepurl5175 5 місяців тому +5

    This is awesome!! I love the slider idea instead of a zipper. I'm not afraid of zipper installation, but I don't always want to fiddle with them, and this is such a great alternative!
    And if you didn't cut the slide off, but kept the same steps - you'd have a waterproof bag!!

    • @thegingercatstitcher
      @thegingercatstitcher  5 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! And yes they would make wonderful waterproof bags too

    The stiching of the birds is gorgeous. I get clothes at garage sales in the free or dollar bin then remove the zippers and buttons. This is pretty creative.

    • @thegingercatstitcher
