    This looks so easy to make. Plus, I was thinking that you could make these using Christmas fabric and put a gift in them for the holidays. Or you could use non Christmas themed fabric and put a gift in, and just tie your Christmas gift tags to it. There are so many options! Thanks so much, Sherrill…..❤️-Brenda

    I finally took your advice, and downloaded the JoAnns app on my phone. I've been going there more often lately. I went with a some family on Saturday, we kinda went a little crazy. But, I did save $81, I ended up paying $97, and that included what my daughter picked out. So it could have been worse. I did pick only fabrics that were on sale, and used several coupons on the app. What a day, it was fun. So now I'm sewing a few new projects, after taking a little break from a slight bug, issues with my hands, and busy with life. Sometimes it's good to take a break to recharge and find new ideas.

    Hi Sherrill...I love that coral not just on the bag but that is definitely your color too. This is a fun & fast one. I just saw Pellon 808 which was 50% off at Joanne's. I did get a yard but if not mistaken that package had no instruction. I save the tissue instructions when available.
    Thanks again for a really nice tutorial.

      Ms Cheryl ... may I ask a question that I have been struggling with for quite some time now? When I purchase some flat quarter MOST of them are never true square. When I cut them down to square it affects the size of a project. How do I compensate for the size difference in the project? Not for quilting but for specific sizing in projects like bags?

    What is a good needle size to use? It looks almost too heavy for a reg sewing machine. I know with Jean fabric my machine sounds like it a hammer. My guess is my machine can't do anything heavy. Regular fabric no problem. I made a thread catcher with pin cushion attached. My machine was able to do that fine. Maybe I am just seeing correctly. Thanks. Yes I love it.

    • @TheSewingRoomChannel
      @TheSewingRoomChannel  Рік тому

      HI Sh. If you use cotton quilting fabric with a medium weight fusible interfacing. It should be fine. I use a 90/14 sewing machine needle and had no problems. Make sure you change your needle when you hear "thump thump thump." The point of your needle is probably worn down. Hope this helps. Glad you liked the mini tote bag tutorial.

    I do love the cute size and the instructions are great, but what I’m wondering is how you do the math to make it bigger, let’s say a whole fat quarter for each the outside and inside liner fabrics. Thanks if you can help me out! 😀

    • @TheSewingRoomChannel
      @TheSewingRoomChannel  Рік тому +1

      Hi Jane. Place one fat quarter on top of the other. Cut the edges straight. Then continue following the instructions in the tutorial. The only difference is that your fabric is wider than what was demonstrated in the tutorial, but the length of the fabric is still the same. Hope this helps.
