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 such a great tutorial Liz. I have watched it over and over and have finally made a few bags. I really appreciate the time you take to make these tutorials available.

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.

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!

oh thank you so much!! Yes I really just wanted to show the technique for putting it together and then people can customize it however they like with quilting or with trims or just as is!

I just made 4 bags. 2 for me and 2 for my bestie who strong armed me into learning cross stitch last year. Zippers! What a pain! 1 bag I clipped the corner same as you 🤣. It took 2 tries to fix that darned corner. I’m quite proud of my 4 finished bags. Also, I love to cross stitch despite my reluctance to start. 😜 Thanks for the tutorial.

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

Just wanted to thank you for the very good tutorial. Broke my ankle in March, needed something to do in rehab. Ordered everything from FQS for Flea Market Flowers. After I came home in May, I decided to work on my fabric stash. I, so far have made 9 project bags. Getting a little faster. Keep trying to make them a little stiffer. Peltek is not bad. Very difficult to work with when turning the bag. Thanks again and congrats on your wedding.

Made my first bag! Not as crisp looking as yours but not a bad attempt. I don't have internet at home so I watched you, took notes, and did it. I did somehow get my zipper on the wrong side of my top fabric so the lining fabric ended up on the outside. That's ok it still worked. 😊 I still don't know what happened. Trying another bag today. Thanks so much!
