And here I am almost 3 years later and soooo many bags later and I’m watching it again to make another one today!!! So yes, please don’t ever take this video down!!! It’s the best one out there!!!

I have watching this video at least 20 times to make one bag. LOL! Please don’t ever take it down, I will need to watch it many more times to make more bags! Thank you!!!

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!

Great tutorial - made my first bag today using your detailed instructions (without the hole!). Thought I had the zipper opening on the right, but no, it was on the left as I wanted. Duh on pulling just the lining through to close the bottom up! But all said and done, it came out perfect. Can't believe it!

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!

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.

I just finished making a bag following your tutorial, thank you very much. It was a tad more difficult for me because I used a cris stitch piece so I have to add fabric to the side and ended up a size different than yours so have to figure out sizes. Made a few mistakes, including putting the front upside down despite your warning, so ripped and did it again. I even made a zipper pull for it. I of course have you credit for the tutorial in instagram
