Long time working with fiber of all sorts here, for about 55 years. I did SEW some little bags about 40 years ago of cloth I had embroidered and gave them as holiday gifts. As a recent mender/darner, I now wear my visibly mended clothes as a badge of honor against fast fashion. I think it's wonderfully funny that what we have done for centuries is now called slow stitching and thought of as so wonderful - we women knew that all along - LOL!
THUMB UP always from Washington State here in the USA…..even before I listened about your “ extremely exquisite giveaway bag”….I had earmarked this video to share with my 11 year old Granddaughter…..You as an instructor know how we learn orally visually and tactically …..and this video is great as we can stop and start as we work on this project together….recently I helped in her class as they were hand making a very “ primitive” version of this bag…..to be able to keep items in as they imagined walking along side the wagon trains on the famous Oregon Trail heading to the Pacific Ocean…..my Granddaughter picked this hand sewn project up so quickly and she was able to help other classmates …..we had three classes of boys and girls ….for a total of in the count of 70 plus…..so her hands came in handy……so yes she and I will use your expertise to Sew together……Heaven on Earth for this Mema……Respectfully Sherry
I firstly want to say thank you to you and your husband for all the work you both put in to creating not one but two UA-cam channels. Your method of teaching actually works for me. You inspire me to sew and embroider and whilst I’ll never be as good as you I’m ok with that as it makes me happy. Thank you for helping all us novices to have the confidence to have a go.
Sarah, I really enjoy listening to your voice as you teach us different stitches or share new ideas. My samples are stacked together in a project bag. I have thought of sewing them together as pages in a fabric book. I like your idea to use the samples to SEW little bags to gift or hold precious treasures. I appreciate your gift of sharing free patterns and always look forward to what you will be sewing next. Many thanks and have a happy day - Heidi
Check out my video on making a fabric book Heidi on my Sarah Homfray Creates channel!
Another nice idea to sew by hand. I think I'll make a couple for my granddaughters and pop something pretty inside. They'll look good hanging on the tree
I watch your tutorials and love the way you teach us how embroider, wow you make it so easy to follow the instructions... then you showed us how to SEW a cute little bag..
I love the idea of turning practice pieces into little draw string bags!!
I like the idea of hand sew (ing) the bag.
Thanks Sarah❤
A lovely way to use up all of the pieces that we SEW and don't have room on the wall for. Great idea and well explained.
I love the sew bag. It would be useful for carrying small sewing notions.
i am a new follower and have learned so much from you already. I'm trying to get back into embroidery work, love to sew, and quilt. If I should win an embroidery piece from you, I think I would make it into a lovely gift bag and include some special gift for a friend who has helped me so much in recently months after becoming widowed at 82. My DH and I were married almost 54 years, so it's been a difficult time for me. But you bring joy with your videos and your concise instruction with close-ups! Thank you, Melanie
This was a lovely tutorial! The Sew bag would be a great little project bag to hold threads and ribbons! Thanks for being “sew” awesome!
I hand sew at night to calm my anxiety while watching TV. I'm not very good at it, but that bag would help greatly to keep my items together! I am constantly losing something I am working with in the couch! Lol.
I would love to have a bag to keep my sewing notions tidy. I do sew more since I found your channel. I hadn't embroidered anything for many years and had forgotten my stitches. I watched several sites but kept returning again and again to yours. Your teaching technique is excellent. Thank you for the videos and keep them coming!
You are a fabulous teacher Sarah and I love to watch your videos. I would love to have a bag for sewing threads. I find slow stitch so relaxing to SEW. Thank you for your inspirational projects. Linda x
As a quilter I have always loved to SEW, I have been watching a lot of your videos recently to relearn stitching skills to make a memory stitch piece of my mother in law’s things I kept to give to her daughter. She did beautiful embroidery and I don’t want to spoil her work by adding subpar stitching of my own. I would love the little bag as inspiration, oh and it’s blue which is just the most perfect thing. 😂
Im so glad to have found your channel last week. I have been binge watching and learning so much. I would be honored to receive your bag for a prize. Thank you for taking time to help is learn! I wish i could have seen thos video in time😊

What a beautiful bag to giveaway. I have been sewing for many years and was taught to sew at the age of 4 years. I have just found your channel and you have inspired me to hand sew some little bags rather than using a sewing machine. Slow stitching is so calming and your videos have shown me that it is more fun to gently hand sew rather than rush with a machine. I’m now going to look through your previous videos and see more of your beautiful creations.
My grandma taught me to sew when I was a child and now in my 80s I still love to learn new ways to use a needle to create .
I love the way you SEW your bags together. I am a beginner embroiderer and I love watching your tutorials
Sarah is my Friday fix, can't wait to see what she will SEW or stitch in each new video. And her beautiful nails can't be overstated!
I love see you Sew ing and doing your embroideries. I find it relaxing and always learning something interesting. Thank you ❤
Absolutely adore your little "sew" bag. I would keep my handmade hair scrunchies in it. Love to watch and learn from your videos. Thank you for all the inspiration.
SEW enjoyed this video Sarah. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos. You have renewed my love of hand sewing, back where I started about 70 years ago! I t think my mother and grandmother used to set me a sewing task to keep me quiet. I have always loved to stitch, but in the busy years of raising a family and working, machine stitching was the go. How lovely now to enjoy the tactile joy of hand stitching again.❤
Before we had electronic babysitters Sandra! I'm glad you love hand sewing again and it didn't have the opposite effect!
Sarah, here’s what I think makes you so special. You are extraordinarily creative as is evidenced in what you share with us on your videos, so good on you, right brain! But in addition, your methodical, planned, and logical way of thinking is evident as well which makes it so much easier for your followers to understand you, so good on you, left brain! In my opinion, you possess this rare combination, so I view you as a celebrity. If I were to win the giveaway, it would be as if I had my favorite celebrity sign my autograph book! It would be SEW exciting!!!
Carmela you are so kind; It's very heart warming to know people are not only watching me rabbit on but enjoying it to! xxx
Thank you for teaching us how to SEW so many things! Sometimes I like to sew by machine and sometimes I like to sew by hand. There are so many things we can make in the fiber arts. I enjoy quilting, some crochet, weaving on smaller pin looms, and different types of hand work, including embroidery. Thank you, again! Mrs. Dale Scott
the little bags are useful. I like to sew with a purpose, and not just make a sample, so this is a great idea for me.
Hi Sarah. You've got me all fired up to make tiny bags like these! I learned how to embroider from watching your videos. My next endeavor is to incorporate beads and sequins into my work, similar to the mandala piece you used in this video. I imagine the gift bag you're raffling contains a few of your favorite notions or some specialties like sequins and beads. Who knows . . . SEW know that I'm grateful for your videos. Thankful for sharing your skills with us.
I love watching and learning from your videos. I am really inspired by what you sew.
Me too sometimes!
Sew This is such sweet little bag. I would give this bag to my friend Becky. She loves little bags and is just learning to do hand embroidery.
Oh, a sew lucky-bag made to measure,
By Sarah herself,
An unicum to treasure,
Putting into it everyday things would give me so much pleasure 🦋
Sew ! Loved watching this video and will certainly be trying a few bags . I’m new to sewing, but I have a friend who has seen all
Of her life. If I was lucky enough to win, I’d give it to her with a little gift in. I might keep the surprise inside for myself ! 😂
SEW my comment is how appreciative I am of your channel :) I learn SEW much and am always inspired and feel like I am learning from a true expert. SEW thank you Sarah xx
I love to Sew! Therefore I feel so lucky to have found your videos and your page. I have learned so much.
I came to your channel to learn about embroidery and am learning SEW much. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the videos.
I only learned to sew this year, it's my absolute joy and my creative mind has helped me. I have sarah to thank as she was the lady that got me started. I began to sew at a difficult time in my life, I've recently had to stop due to health reasons unfortunately, but I would cherish and use the beautiful bag for my special goldwork items. Love to see the new videos. Missed you. Xxx
I SEW enjoy your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you. I have been sewing, embroidery and cross stitch for close to 70 years. And still love it and experimenting with all kinds of fibers and fabrics. I would use that little bag as a little sew kit. Thank you Sarah for another great idea.
Sew ! I have been watching all your UA-cam videos and enjoyed each one . I have to sit on a machine for healthcare 3 hours a day. Hand sewing and embroidery has come back into my life. I embroidered in the 80’s and got away to do quilting the last 7 years. So I have learned a lot from you and am hoping to add it to my quilting. I would love to win your drawstring bag. I think I’d like to save my quilt squares that are a little smaller than I intended in. They didn’t make it into my quilts for that reason. But I’ve learned several ways I could reuse those squares in other projects from you. Thank you Sarah, for all you’ve taught me!!
Sew Special Bag, and it has treats on the inside! 😊 this is my give away comment. Thanks for all you do!
I await with great anticipation your videos as you cover such a wide range of techniques - I SEW all types of hand sewing but particularly gold work, needle painting and black work - thank you for all your videos over the years xx
Thank you for your support Kathryn xx
I love watching you sew. Your videos are always my first stop when trying to learn new stitches.
I would use this little "Sew" bag by my sewing machine to put all of the cut off and ripped out threads from my quilting and sewing projects into. I would then use those bits and pieces in other art/ craft projects. Having all those thread bits in one place that isn't a trash can would be perfect. Thank you for teaching your craft to all of us in the UA-cam universe.
I love to hand SEW and think your bags are wonderful. I'm currently making hand made embroidered bookmarks as Christmas gifts & the bags are another great idea. I would use your bag to keep supplies in for use away from home :)
Great idea for bags to sew. Would be great for Christmas presents!
Sew a state of well being. These videos are wonderful therapy . Thanks
Sarah,so cute drawstrings bags❤I wanna try to sew embroidered mini bags with my hand.They are nice to gift for friends.
I would love to win your precious little SEW bag. I have enjoyed making various bags for many years and your little creation is so adorable. Love watching your videos. Didn't think I could be inspired still at 75 years but you do it every time I watch you. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
I have been watching your videos for a long time and hoping that by watching some talent and technique is an automatic transfer. So far no more luck🙄. I admire your talent, skill and your dedication to pass on the pleasure and satisfaction of hand embroidery when so much technology will do it for your…but it does not bring the same satisfaction of joy. Thank you for your videos and it would give a great deal of pleasure to have anything that you have stitched!! So Sew it sounds Good!
Your SEW bag is absolutely precious and would be a great size to carry with you on little trips to appointments so you could stitch while waiting.
I LOVE all your videos . SEW fun, SEW helpful, SEW inspiring! I do lots of handwork and love to SEW quilts.
Everything you sew is beautiful and very educational to watch. Have a very good day. Thanks for sharing with us.
Your video on making bags is so helpful! I’m going to SEW some. You are my go-to site for learning stitches. And thank you for offering tips and instruction on so much more.
I love watching you work. What a lovely idea to sew a little pouch out of some embroidery projects.
I have been teaching my neighbour to embroider and she has really enjoyed the process. We are always looking for little gift ideas to SEW. These will be ideal. Margaret from Australia Happy Sewing ❤
I love to sew all types of items but most of all I enjoy hand embroidery in the evening and making quilts in the morning and afternoon.
Hi Sarah! I love to sew, and I LOVE to watch your channel for tips, tricks and inspiration! Sew on, my dear: Sew On!!
To SEW the white bag giveaway, i think an embroidered handkerchief put inside would be a lovely gift
Sew 😊 I am lying in bed recovering from Covid, and your video makes me anxious to recover so I can make my own bags for Christmas gifts. I am so inspired by your channel. Thank you!
I love to sew many different types of embroidery. Thanks for the great videos. I watch all of them. If I won the bag it would be a prized possession!
Thank you for giving me the confidence to sew little touches to make gifts extra special your vedios are so easy to follow.
I just love to SEW, I love fabric, lace, ribbons, silks, everything.
Love watching you, thank you
I really ejoyed this video. Since I am new to embroidery, these bags will be a wonderful way to practice some of the stitches you have demoed for us and will be easy to sew up. I would like to make small ones to use for sachet bags and possibly for jewelry gift bags. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful things you do.
Love the idea of taking my random embroidery to SEW a little bag.
What a great idea for little pieces of embroidery. I think I will start sewing some Christmas themed miniatures. Another educational video, thanks.
Your videos are SEW wonderful! I am a beginner embroiderer and I have learned SEW much from watching you! I love this idea for using embroidery in more than wall hangings.
How cute! These little bags are great. I never knew how to do the double pull string thing. I love how it looks when it's like that.
I would love to have something made by you, Sarah! It's so pretty too. The one you made on camera is really nice as well.
I would use the little sew bag to hold my stitch markers for my crocheting. I currently have them in an old pill bottle, which works but it isn't very pretty 😂
Make a bag for the pill bottle Heather!
What a great idea to use up previous embroideries. Thank you for the idea, SEW inspiring
Thank you for sharing love you video I would use the bag for my paper piecing it’s a very beautiful bag I have learned so much I just starting my sewing journey
These charming bags are SEW cute and useful. 😉 Thank you for sharing another creative idea for making use of our stitches.
I love the bag you made for Caroline. The colors are gorgeous!
You have given me an idea what to do with all my Sashiko samples. I will sew them into little bags and fill them with lavender. They will be nice little Christmas presents.
They will make lovely presents Conny...
I would "sew" like to use this little sew bag to display my sewing materials in my travel van.
The things you sew are always neat and pretty and a little bag like that would be ideal to keep my new silk ribbons in.
Very helpful video! How nice to see how to hand SEW these little pouches! I have fond memories of the many pouches my mother used to make us from her scraps when I was a child. Thank-you! 😃❤️
Thank you very much for that Sarah, it's great to see a way to be able to use up small bits of embroidery and actually make something useful out of them!, and so nice to have ideas for making something with embroidery anyway, as opposed to just framing it, and I would really love to win your lovely little bag with sew on it, as you have taught me so much, to actually have something you have made yourself, well....... imagine it displayed in a glass case (gilt edged) with little velvet curtains to which I would regularly do obeisance!!!!.
Everyone is getting embroidered bags this Christmas! I'm not sure it's good enough for a glass case...a glasses case maybe :) x
Thank-you for teaching us how to SEW bags made out of our embroidered pieces! I would use this bag in my embroidery kit to hold skeins of floss for the current project. I have learned so much from your channel. It's the best on UA-cam for embroidery in my opinion!
I love the way you show and see! The bag would be used to hold treasures in a special place!
Long time follower and joined your patreon to learn and be inspired to sew beautiful things for future heirloom. Alicia
Thank you for your support Alicia! x
What a lovely bag for one very lucky viewer! It would be a perfect place to store embroidery threads and notions. I’m definitely going to sew some of these myself - such a perfect way to use some finished stitches. As always, thank you, Sarah, for another fabulous video!
Hi Sarah. I'm sew happy I found your channel. You inspire my creativity and confidence, and I've even found the confidence to join my local textile arts group now.🙂
Miss Sarah,
I “sew” enjoyed watching this video. I adore those little bags. I can see them being useful for many things- for taking little bits and pieces to a stitching class, for holding notions to take with you when you travel or are riding in a car, to hold earbuds, etc. I think I would use it to carry my glucometer for testing my blood sugar. ‘Sew” much prettier than a plain black bag!
Your video was very interesting and I am interested in slow stitch. Very pretty designs to SEW . Love the bags so sweet.
Everything you make and sew is beautiful. I look forward to your video every week. Greetings from Luxembourg
What a wonderful gift add-on! I need to add these to my summer SEW project box to pull out to keep my hands busy when it's too hot and sticky to quilt!
What a lovely little Sew bag! Perfect for storing the threads for a project as well as a needle pack .
Sew... and sew! I'd just love to use it for any small projects taken "on the road" to coffee shops, etc. And if someone asks me where I got it, I would definitely brag up your channel like I always do for my fav creators
Sarah, I love to watch you SEW!! You are so easy to listen to, and you give us so much inspiration! I love your SEW bag and the others too!! I would put some of my special buttons, beads and charms in the bag. Thanks for this fun video. ❤️😘🤗💕
You are the best teacher! I love all of your videos! You are the reason I learned to sew embroidery!
Sew cute. Sew fun. Sew lovely! Sew inspired! I will use your beautiful bag for sew notions, of course! ❤
Thank you for your beautiful videos teaching us how to sew and embroider, they are always so interesting and full of wonderful things to sew and make. At the moment my sewing accoutrements are in a plastic bag, they would be so much better in your sew bag and the envy of all who saw it.
The little bags are exquisite. I don't know what I would put into the beautiful bag you're giving away. I'm sure it will be something very special. Thank you for your great videos. I'm a total beginner and I'm learning so much from you.
Sew and steady wins the race, well I hope so. Thank you Sarah for your brilliant tuition sharing these videos.
I love to SEW! I weave rugs and would this bag to keep my small weaving tools in. I have practiced some slow stitching(samples) and it is so relaxing!
SEW- I would use the bag as a keepsake to put my Mom's favorite jewelry who has passed away.
Your videos are SEW awesome! I would use this bag in my own traveling SEW-ing kit!
I have not made these yet but put them on my plans for the future. I think I will use some of my silk shading practice pieces on them and sew them up in stye! Perfect to keep my needle containers in! I can hardly wait.
It's so nice to have finished things out of what seemed like unusable samples!
I enjoy watching your videos as well as listening to your lovely accent as you sew.
Hey Sarah! I can’t think of anything clever to say SEW I won’t. I’ve just got some nice embroidery ribbons from my local shop (honoured to be told I was the first bloke she has ever sold silk embroidery ribbons to). Ive only tried using them once (with one of your videos) so il use the bag to store them in for motivation and inspiration ❤Nigel 😊
I sew by day when it is bright. I sew by night and, of course I use a light.
:)
What a great way to make use of slow stitching projects and sample pieces! It was nice to see you sew the bag by hand with some beautiful thread as it adds to the character of the bag. Thank you for the opportunity to win that lovely bag stitched by you and filled with some goodies from your shop. I would use it to store some of my sewing tools, measuring tape, thread picker, chalk, machine needles, etc. I'm dying to know what you have put inside and what I might do with that! 😄💖
I SEW enjoy all of your videos. Such beautiful work and a wonderful teacher. You have inspired me to embroider and SEW far I have made a felt needle book with embroidery on the front and back using your flower samples pattern. I especially love how my tulips turned out using your technique. I'm piecing together some old material and lace to do slow stitching for the first time! If I had the honor of winning your beautifully stitched bag, I would show it to everyone :) and frame it to hang on the wall.
So much fun watching your videos and learning so much. Love how you SEW these little bags👍
