I made three of these bags for me and a friend to put our blending brushes and caddies into so we could easily transport them to scrapbooking crop events. Love them.

This is exactly what I was looking for and I love your vintage sewing machine I saw on vintage most all the times because they are so reliable. I am going to use the Bosal coaster forms for the base. I will make my lining and outer circles a bit bigger to accommodate. This is a well-done and clear tutorial. Thank you.

Hi Whitney, I followed these instructions to make a couple of microphone case bags for my grown-up musician son. It's a very clever technique, and they turned out great! The only change I made was to make the bottom rectangular instead of round, and it took awhile to figure out the dimensions since each one was a unique size and shape. We watched your video together and he did all the measuring and cutting, while I did the sewing. We laughed about the fact that your bag is for Duplos, and his are for his grown up toys! His toys cost a lot more now! Anyway, thanks for your videos! You'll be a go to for future sewing projects. And your land army outfit is wonderful! You look like you stepped right out of the Land Girls series!

Hi Whitney - This is a great bag! Your instructions are always so easy and clear to understand and follow. Depending on how tall it is, you could slip a round plastic keeper inside and store your scissors in it. So many uses for this bag. Thanks for sharing. Happy Day to you! Hugs! 💜

I just used your video to make a custom bag for my Simply Southern 40 oz tall water thermos. It's the best I've found for keeping water/ice all day but I needed a 'pouch' to carry it in. This was perfect - I just added a long shoulder strap. Thanks again for such an easy to understand way to make a round bag!

The bottom still looks good, it’s wayyyy way better than mine. I’ve been on it since this afternoon and I can’t seem to get it right. I noticed however tho that the upper part of the sewing machine, above the needle area, is what gets in the way. I think that’s why most people do well when sewing the bottom part. I’ve been searching for hacks to try to make it easier and I’m close to getting a new sewing machine 😂

Any tips o n turning this drawstring bag with a circle bottom into a padded (machine-quilted) drawstring bag with a circle bottom? I'd like to pad both the lining and the outer fabric. I have done a padded drawstring bag with a boxed bottom before, so I think I can figure out how to do this one, but the circle bottom insert is troubling me (in planning and thought) just a bit!

Do you have any tips for someone thats adding polyfill padding in between the layers?

I would think something like quilt batting would work better than polyfil for padding. Polyfil will probably not stay up and end up lumpy around the bottom.

Just a quick add question. What would you recommend for a waterproof bag. Wondering if I should buy the oilcloth fabric and then. A pretty cotton out. Or is there another idea

@Whitney_Sews 5 жыл бұрын

Hmm, good question. I made a diaper one time where the waterproofing later was in the middle and as soon as any liquid touched the seam is began to wick onto the outer (not waterproof) fabric. So if it really needs to be super waterproof I would do waterproof fabric inside and out, but if not a waterproof lining and both circles would probably work then cotton for the outer body. Hope that helps!

I only have one Patteon level now for $1/month (people can do any amount they want, but that is the suggested amount). To get the PDF you will need to be a patron and scroll through my posts on there until you find the PDF. There are some tags to make finding posts easier, so if you find the tag search look for PDF. Hope that helps.
