    If you make your pattern from freezer paper you can iron them onto your fabric and it is so much easier to cut out. no pinning and you can use it over and over again.

    I often think about the Great Depression when quilts and such were made out of what you had on hand...and food was prepared based on what you could throw together....it was solely survival but thru the years ladies have taken it to new heights and made sewing&creating an art...CoCo Channel designed flying by the seat of her pants & I admire & respect that way of thinking...

    I just love how you figure out as you go a long you do such great work and you have great ideas. I like the fact that you use what you have and you aren't showing tons of fabric behind you . Love your channel

    Made another of these last night. Listening to your video again and again because I don't get tired of it! If anyone is interested, you can add 1 inch of height to the base and 1 inch to the top part to make a bigger bag that's still well-proportioned. The lining is then cut at 11 x 13. I tried it and it looks great.

    I love that you re-use school shirts. I do as well!
    Stacking the brown button on the large button might have been interesting. Who knows? I sew the same way you do. I just kind of go with whatever strikes me. Winging it results in interesting, if not always intended results. I crochet the same way. I start following a pattern then start wondering what would happen if I make a little change. By the end of the project, the product may or may not resemble the original idea. I learn a lot trying to fix issues I inadvertently create. Nevertheless, I either have something uniquely me or I frog it and have learned something new! (My craziest project started with the intent of making summer hat with a brim and ended as a winter beret!😂)

    Omg. I really enjoyed both of your tutorials! I'm primerly a knitter. I tryed some sewing - but it's not even near to what I would like it to look.
    But now I feel encourage to try making some bags! I think that I know what I was doing wrong - being to lazy to use an iron 😇
    I think I will strat with drawstrings bag. Thank you so much! 💕

    Ali - I bought a Janome sewing machine a couple of years ago and it's sat gathering dust until you did your drawstring bag tutorial - I made a couple this weekend - my first ever sewing projects and first time using the machine - they worked!! You made it look so straightforward it took all the stress out of it for me and I'm delighted - shocked the hell out of my hubby...and me. Thank you!! Off to make that t-shirt pattern I bought years ago now...

    Thank you for sharing these patterns with us. I had not thought to use old jeans for bags. I save the legs of my jeans and my husbands work pants to use as patches for pants that we presently wear so they kind of match current clothes and we can get a "few more turns out of them" as my Mom used to say. I have to tell you something funny! I had asked you about the bank holiday thing. Then a couple of days ago I was looking at the calendar in the kitchen and on it I noticed that it had marked Monday as a bank holiday in UK! I never noticed this on the calendar before. Obviously I am not the most observant person in the world! lol!

  • @DixieGirl9876
    @DixieGirl9876 4 роки тому

    Well done! I also use embroidery thread for buttons. I make my bags in the same manner, just whatever gets the job done, I've even pieced scraps of the interfacing. lol Sometimes I leave one of the box corners open to turn the bag through, if it's 2 inches of larger. (It shows less when you sew it closed afterwards.)

  • @marilynpruett4973
    @marilynpruett4973 4 роки тому

    I'm not good with zips so usually make drawstring. May I suggest you use a slightly wider seam? 5/8ths is usually the recommended, not that much more than what you use.🤔 I liked the brown bottomed one a bit more, but both are great. And sneaky making the other one too!!! Proves they don't take that long. Hope it cools down a bit. We're about to get the first hot humid days... hate it!!! Thank goodness for a/c!!! An absolute necessity here. Stay safe lovely peoples... take care. 💛

    • @LittleDropsofWonderful-Ali
      @LittleDropsofWonderful-Ali  4 роки тому

      A good suggestion as it might prevent my missing some edges! I’ll try a wider seam next time 👍🏻
      Oh how I dream of a/c 😅
