Hello peanut gallery! It's time to play with some shit! I took a plastic-ish tote bag from Dollar Tree and turned it into a fantastic tote that looks way better than I ever thought it would! Do love! I hope you enjoy. If you want to watch my rag quilt tote bag tutorial, you can see it here: tinyurl.com/y8bu3fk8 Thanks so much for watching! xoxo
OMG!! I love this shit! LOL! I'm binge watching my new favorite youtuber! I'm a huge crafter myself and it's like I'm sitting with a wonderful new friend. Thank you. You are making me laugh on a pretty rough day. Bless you
That came out really nice. My little girl said you reminded her of her aunt Ronnie. My sister died this past December. So now she knows why I love your videos. You've always reminded me of her, attitude and all.
My last day of work(I Quit!!) lol.....is Friday June 9th. I love this so much. I sew/quilt as well & i'm so excited to get back to doing some of what I love. The job I had was not family/life friendly at all(& it was customer service 😝). Thank God for a good husband & bills being paid off. Want to try clothing now too, so Iove seeing the up-cycled redo's.
I thought the straps were white at first and then when you said blue I was like whaaat! I'm going out of my mind! Haha this is such a great project! I love it!
You are giving me so many great ideas. My hubby and I are building a place close to the beach and we're going to have a little shave ice stand and I'm going to be selling hand hand made sewing items. If I can find any of these bags I'm going to use this idea with adorable beach fabric. Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed this vid. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has too many ideas for a project! I might finally finish one some day. I Enjoy watching your vids from Australia....with the time difference I usually get to see them soon after you post them.
I hate ripping out mistakes, I had to do one today on a bag I was making for my daughters friend. The zipper slipped. This came out cute, what a fun project.
Hi Darlene can you please make a tutorial on making a Sling Bag. I enjoy the way you explain step by step and thought you would come through with a great tutorial as always. Ive seen reversible ones and tried it but they had you pull the material through the strap. It was a disaster for me because i had a little thicker material and it wouldn't go through the strap. There must be an easier way, especially for a beginner who'd like to try and make one. Thank you Darlene
I have never made one so that would be an awesome video for me to create. We'll either get a cool bag out of it or we'll get to watch me suffer! LOL I know what you mean about pulling it through the strap. I've seen that and I was like... WHAT??? Does not look fun to me at all. I will try to come up with a better way. Thank you for the suggestion!
💘 💘 💘 💘 💘 Love it. That's a five heart love it..I love the colors. Blue is my favorite color. The brown almost gives it a southwest kinda look. and the printed fabric too. You are so artsy fartsy. ( I mean that in a good way ) .
UA-cam!!! PLEASE! Have tried to watch this video, replay, stop and start. Nothing, I get your voice Darlene and every once in awhile a new still shot from the video stream. So frustrating, Darlene is my go to person when I need to calm down! Off to do some sewing now. Putting a backing on a dresser scarf that took me a year to embroider. What if I mess up all that hard work? It's all gonna be UA-cam's fault!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Its because it loading in high HD format. I cant watch it either. Mine is doing the same as yours. I think darlene must have uploaded it in high HD, i tried to change the setting in the "little wheel" icon and there are no other setting to choose from.
Ui love your style & honesty. You seem like id like to have coffee with you. Little bit of a Yankee ancient I heat, nonetheless, seems like fun in your home! Have great day, so sew fun!
Have been watching your vids and chimes went off on my phone few min ago. I checked what I was being notified of. It said New from Darlene Mic... I checked and it was part 4 from several days ago. So yes we get notified of old vids. Was watching this so I'm posting here instead of other vid. I'll shut up now.
I am so making some as gifts. People are going to think I'm clever and spent so much time and money. Maybe do a bit of quilting and maybe even a zipper. Oh, and maybe even a lining . Nah.
Really like the make-over on the DT bag. Thanks for the idea. I can't wait to try to make one for myself. I think i will leave the top seam open so the fabric panels can serve as a pocket compartment. 47UDBJJ7

"Let's go over to the machine and sew that shit down!" Ggguuurrllllll! You're slaying me and I'm so grateful. That shit is funny!
Hi Darlene. Found your UA-cam videos and they are awesome! Thank you for being you and making some cool videos.
I hate ripping out mistakes, I had to do one today on a bag I was making for my daughters friend. The zipper slipped. This came out cute, what a fun project.
Oh wow, you did such a great job! It looks so beautiful.

I meant the light printed material. (cause the brown is a print also.
Hi Darlene, love your choice of fabric it turned out fantastic. I had no trouble with the video. Just another excuse for me to go to the Dollar Tree.

Its because it loading in high HD format. I cant watch it either. Mine is doing the same as yours. I think darlene must have uploaded it in high HD, i tried to change the setting in the "little wheel" icon and there are no other setting to choose from.
Hmmm... I uploaded as usual. No clue what it going on. Is the mail video working?
Yes hun the mail video works fine.
Today it's working, YAY! Was probably my crazy computer. Love the tote! And the totorial, too!
Cooooool Puffy!!! - I laughed!

What color thread did you use?
I Love this!!!
I happened to use beige because that's what was in there. lol
Love it
I think you could appliqué that and it would be cute.

Have been watching your vids and chimes went off on my phone few min ago. I checked what I was being notified of. It said New from Darlene Mic... I checked and it was part 4 from several days ago. So yes we get notified of old vids. Was watching this so I'm posting here instead of other vid. I'll shut up now.
hi !
I'm getting a lot of lag. I don't know why.
Its playing in high HD format for me and i cant change it to a lower setting. It's lagging so much i cant watch it.
Yes, me too.
Several others have said the same thing. I have no clue why.
My grandson moved my PC & fixed the problem.
I am so making some as gifts. People are going to think I'm clever and spent so much time and money. Maybe do a bit of quilting and maybe even a zipper. Oh, and maybe even a lining . Nah.
I love how you talked yourself out of things. lol
I've had many years to perfect it but I was only talking about the lining. I want to try the rest.
What shit! lol
You are so fun! Can you be my neighbor? Pack up and move here! :)
Well Shit. :P
Really like the make-over on the DT bag. Thanks for the idea. I can't wait to try to make one for myself. I think i will leave the top seam open so the fabric panels can serve as a pocket compartment. 47UDBJJ7
