    I really like that you left the mistake in & showed how you fixed it!! Whenever I help someone learn to sew (or knit) I find that one of the biggest obstacles is getting them comfortable that mistakes can & will happen, but that they can (usually) be fixed!
    ps - also love the bag!

    Just wanted to thank you for the very good tutorial. Broke my ankle in March, needed something to do in rehab. Ordered everything from FQS for Flea Market Flowers. After I came home in May, I decided to work on my fabric stash. I, so far have made 9 project bags. Getting a little faster. Keep trying to make them a little stiffer. Peltek is not bad. Very difficult to work with when turning the bag. Thanks again and congrats on your wedding.

    Yes, please don’t take it down! Thank you for your recommendation on the Pellon 987F fusible fleece interfacing. I had been using a lightweight type that was giving me fits! I ordered a small piece from Amazon to try your suggestion and I love it! In fact I bought a whole bolt of it to use on my bags. I will also be making some project bags, following your tutorial. Thank you!

    What a great tutorial for a simple project bag. I'm very much at a beginner level when it comes to sewing, but I was able to make this in just a few hours and my zipper (first one I've ever done) only came out slightly crooked! I'm calling it a win. Thank you for the step by step! I love my new project bag.

    This is the best tutorial I've seen! I love that it's made from solid pieces. So many tutorials show them done with small pieces that have to be quilted together first. They're cute, and I love quilting, but don't want to have to do it for a project bag. Thank you!

    • @elizabethanncanstitch
      @elizabethanncanstitch  3 роки тому +3

      oh thank you so much!! Yes I really just wanted to show the technique for putting it together and then people can customize it however they like with quilting or with trims or just as is!

    I just made 4 bags. 2 for me and 2 for my bestie who strong armed me into learning cross stitch last year. Zippers! What a pain! 1 bag I clipped the corner same as you 🤣. It took 2 tries to fix that darned corner. I’m quite proud of my 4 finished bags. Also, I love to cross stitch despite my reluctance to start. 😜 Thanks for the tutorial.

    Great tutorial and a great bag for Christmas gifts. I'm glad you left the mistake because it really makes us concentrate when we trim. When we hear it from you to not trim to close and we see what happens when we trim to close, visual, with me at least, stays longer. Again thank you I have seen many how they sew the lining and the outside fabric. Yours is easier and it seems like it's a step less. Thank you so very much again have a wonderful day and I'm glad these videos stay on UA-cam
