Of all the tote bag tutorials, yours is the BEST, no waste, easy breezy, your fun to watch.

Have done boxed corners for years and never thought of the 45° angle. Gosh r u smart or what. LOL. I love watching you.

Excellent, clear instructions, no extraneous talking, professional production values!

Hi Rob. I have been making Reusable Grocery Bags for a while with an attached pouch. I took a look at your tutorial to see how yours was different and saw you double roll the handles while you were sewing them. I have been ironing, folding and ironing again and found your method such a time saver. I appreciate your tutorials and I always learn something new.

Great idea for a bag, Rob. Thanks for the tutorial. The only thing I'd do differently is french seams on the bag sides (i.e. sew 1/4" seam *wrong sides together*, then flip the bag inside out and sew a 3/8" seam with right sides together). That way, you have stronger side seams and no fraying edges inside your bag! ~Diana from Toronto

I up-cycle t/shirts into bags for shopping. Easy to store and washable and 'stretch' to take those last few items!

very nice , it is refreshing to see a man sewing for a change .

Great seeing a male mentor for young sewers. Great job!

Thanks for your no nonsense, fabric-economic grocery bag. I like your straight forward attention to detail and reasonable about not getting bogged down in the details. Your friends are right Costata Romanesca is the best zucchini, buttery and smooth, started growing it a few years ago, now it's the only one I grow.

Love the brightness of the grocery bag...might help me not to forget it when I go into the store...Lol Now if only the store list was just as bright...

When cleaning my sewing room I realized I have lots of extra leftover fabric from years (ok maybe LOTS of years) ago and this is a great way to use up that fabric and give away to friends. It could also be made in a smaller size since some fabric scraps are smaller, just keep the measurements proportional. These bags are also so wonderful to take on vacation, they pack easily and hold lots of vacation shopping stuff. Thanks for your videos, sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for sewing and quilting.

I liked the idea of using the ruler to help box the corners, I'm new-ish to quilting etc, so every tip helps. Thank you

I love brussel sprouts and spinach. Another great tutorial.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have been looking for a "quick and easy" way to make bags for our Christian Cupboard and this is perfect. Can't wait to make some. Glad to see the 45° angle trick too. Never would have thought to do that. You are awesome Rob.

i have always had a creative thumb, however theres not many male sewers out there so i was afraid to get started but you put the confidence back into me thank you

I just started watching your channel!! You are amazing!! I love it when men sew, knit, and crochet!! My husband & son made a kids blanket together. I was soooo proud of them ❤️

I didn't know about the 45 angle. Love your tutorials. Thank you so much. My favorite veggie is carrots but I love all veggies.

Admirably efficient use of a 1/2 yard cut. Way to save the environment. I have not tried romanesco yet. My favorite vegetable is kale.

I love the simplicity and the construction speed of this bag!

Your lesson on boxed corners is better than any other I have seen here on you tube. Oh, egg plant is my favorite veggie and the color is beautiful. I've not heard of the veggie you have spoken of.

gorgeous fabric. mouthwatering!

I love veggies! So hard to choose, but I'll have to say asparagus! Thanks for all the great tutorials!!

I never thought about make a shopping tote but you sure made it look easy! I will think about these for gifts! Thanks for sharing the video. These actually look fun to make. I love that fabric.

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable and the one you mentioned never heard of it. I love this video to do a great job

A rolled hem foot would be wonderful on those edges. It would make sewing them so much easier

I LOVE Bok Choy from the farmer's market! THANKS for this great tutorial, Rob!

Can’t wait to try this simple style. By the way I saw a mention of the tshirt bags. They also make a great holder for a small trash can in between the seats of a van. I slid the handles over the front arm rests and the bag dangles at the back of the console area. The trash can slides down inside and now those little feet don’t kick it over!

This was a particularly good video. I will try it!!! We also buy a lot of zucchini and put it thru the spiralizer and use it in place of spaghetti in a lot of dishes and casseroles.

I plan on making two and will switch the pockets pieces to be contrasting inside the bags

I've just made a smaller version of this with multi fabric (I also used interface to make it stiffer as it's a gift) and it's made a wonderful gift for my MIL! I love it so much and I'm sure she will too. This was the first of your tutorials I've watched, I'll be sure to watch more now! Thank you so much X Ps. Love the 45 degree angle tip for box corners, mine always end up sqiffy!!! Perfect! X

Eating a lúvo planted mighty masala and green power bowl as I watch this 💚 you’re AWESOME. Typically sewing is stressful for me as I attempt to follow patterns, but you are really easy to follow and don’t harp on the small stuff. It’s a nice change of pace. Keep rocking it!

Really clear DIY! Not only English-speaking people can understand how to make such bag! Thank you!🇺🇦

Great video, great energy, thanks for sharing. I'll be looking for some bright material to make a few of these.

I pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. I will now include these bags in each box. I think children in all countries will love them and find them useful.

Just tried Brussel sprouts for the first time and love them. Awesome video going to try it out. Thank you

Looks so easy plan on using for gifts, to lessen my fabric hoard.

kohlrabi my favorite ..thank you Rob great job

This worked out great! I added an elastic band so that it can be folded up and held as a little bundle

Can't wait to sew this bag! Thank you for the great tutorial. Love the Uke and dashboard hula girl!

Awesome tutorial, as per usual!! I love your fabric choice too. It looks delicious lol.

Another great video! I was looking for a quick bag to make as my daughter's day-care pack for everyday. Diapers, change of clothes, teddy, and a bottle. One for each day of the week. Romanesco tastes delicious roasted with drizzled with olive oil and parmesan cheese. When done correctly (not frozen, not from a can, not bitter) Brussel sprouts are actually my favorite veggie. To get rid of the bitterness everyone hates you have to peel the outside leaves. Vegetables are so good for us and I'm constantly 'hiding' them my family's food. Cauliflower is wonderfully adaptable (I even put it in my smoothies. I had a non-potato phase and discovered celeriac. I know use that in my soups. No one has ever guessed that there's no potato in my soup. Rob, keep up the great work! I may not love all of your projects (that's not a dig, trust me, you wouldn't lurve all of mine either) -- but you bring elements of a great teacher. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Stay awesome!

I been looking for an easy to do bag like this. Thank you. My favorite veggies are broccoli, cauliflower & bunch of others. Not heard of that veggie.

It's one of my fav veggies, cauliflower and broccoli. It has a very short season here in the uk. 😕 Love the tutorial. 👍

this was the easiest tutorial I have seen on youtube. One of them looked great but EVERY! seam was a flat feld seam and I am just not into that these days. I love how you explain everything TY!

I enjoy your tutorials. You do a great job of explaining. And, you always have a smile. Now with the ban on plastic bags in my state I will be making a few grocery bags. Thanks

I haven't heard of that vegetable yet! I have done one bag already! Great project

I love the bag got to make me a few. And I love potato's. And tomatoes.

I love romanesco. My kids used to call it christmastree-cauliflower.

I've been wanting to make a tote that more closely resembled a plastic grocery sack! This is the perfect pattern to try out, Thanks.

I just finished making this! Thank you for the tutorial/pattern! :)

I love your videos. I am just getting into sewing and picking out the easier projects to get started on. I am looking forward to making this bag.

Great tutorial. Fast, easy. No far-der-all. I like it!

Thanks for this! I made my first sewing project following your vid. What a great bag!

Yes, I have tried romanesco and it is a cauliflower in the shape of a Christmas Tree - very pretty and very good (also from the farmer's market).

Such great insperation thaks Rob

I am learning from you to make good grocery store bags. When you’re doing the hems, iron the edges which makes it easier to sew.🙏

I had to google it. Looks like a relative of broccoli but I think it has somewhat the texture of cauliflower. Really pretty. I have had it and loved it. My store hasn't carried it but, I might find it at the farmers' market. I'd love to add it to my list of loved vegis. I love this bag and want to make dozens. I like seeing a guy sewing. If you can run a jig saw, you can run a sewing machine. Also the other way around. If you can run a sewing machine, you can run a saw, drill, sander. Great to see you here. I subbed. Dying to see all your demos. Thanks for posting.

great tutorial for a grocery bag. You really explain it clearly. Thank you very much.

This is a GREAT video! We live about 100 miles from an awesome market and we try to go every 6 to 8 weeks. If you ever get to Cleveland, Ohio try to visit the West Side Market. You won't regret it! I've gone there all my life and I'm 64 years old! The market has been there since 1845. We always bring a cooler and a few totes. I'll be making several of these to replace my other totes. Romanesco? Nope, never heard of it so I looked it up. If I see it at the Market, I'll buy some cuz I love veggies!

Hi there Rob Amazing video and you always make it look so easy (smiles n hugss)

thanks for another great video. been sewing for over 50 years and never before learned how easy it is to make the box corners. since i sale tie dyes at local farmers market and local festival, i plan on making a lot of these bigs using white material then dying them. favorite veggies. mmmm i love all veggies. but never heard of the one you mentioned. since my hearing is bad i wish you wrote put the word.

Love this, Rob! Thanks for another great project.

Enjoy your practical and useful projects. Thank you

That was easy, thank you.. I am going to try to make it then.

make 2 sew them together reversable and stronge love it

I love your tutorials, you have got my 23 year old Son interested in sewing too x

Just found you and you are wonderful. You explain each step so well. Thanks

Great tut for a smart bag! Can't wait to give it a try!

Love your videos. You inspire me and I really appreciate the tips like how to sew around the corner of that gap. I like your pacing, and the fact that you don't waste my time because you have done the repetitious stuff ahead of time. Great work.

awesome! you make it seem so easy

I love these tutorials.

Nice simple bag. Thank you.

thanks for giving me an idea & helping me in stitching one.

Oh my I can see Christmas gifts with these bags

I loves me some Romanesco. It's like an edible fractal.

Love your stuff! You do an amazing job!

Thanks for sharing the video. Very clear and practical.

Omg thanks for your help showing how to make a shopping bag, i love how you talk through things in a way it is understood no fancy words just the way i like it . oh and by the way . i know this video is now 3 yrs old but i will comment anyway . my Favourite vegetable of all time is now a Romanesco. and i know its a cross between a Broccoli and a Cauliflower i came across my first one by accident whilst looking for a Broccoli which was my favourite until i came across and tried a Romanesco .thanks again

Hello Rob! I first watched you on a video with Jenny Doan. You have such a unique way of presenting your tutorials that are easy to follow. I LOVE this tutorial for grocery bag! I have several friends who are very into recycle, reuse, etc. This is the perfect Christmas present for them. I will make several! I love the taste of a fresh from the garden carrot, cooked or raw! The 45 degree angle for bottom of bag is genius!! Keep up the enthusiasm :)

It's sort of a cross between cauliflower, broccoli meets pointy artichoke! It tastes great, but hard to find here in RI!

I would linning it. love the print! your always so fun to see! thanks!

Gracias por compartir. Un saludo desde el norte de México!!!

I would love to fill my new shopping bag with romanesco! It's a cruciferous plant in the mustard family and the species is Brassica. I happened to study some botany in college and I seem to hang on to strange tidbits. I have watched all your videos more than once as you are amazingly entertaining! Can't wait for the next one...thanks!

Great project, thanks. We ❤️ Romanesco and call it ‘Alien Cauliflower’ even though it’s a 🥦 my favourite veggies are Cavolo Nero and Curly Kale x

great bag, thanks for the lesson. my favorite vegetable is acorn squash. chop it in half, scoop out the seeds, fill bowl/hole with chopped apple, a little drizzle of water, sprinkle with cinnamon. microwave for 4 -5 minutes. YUM YUM . enjoy ;)

Hi greetings from Costa Rica. I looove your videos. I'm going to try to make my grocery's bag, then I'll show you how is done. Thanks for the video!

Ive been looking for a bag.. This is by far the best on YT.. THANK YOU!.. Veggies/fruit? My favorite? Parsnips and dragon fruit lol

Great vid. I love cauliflower.

Thanks so much for this vid (and all your others too actually)! This year, money has been tight, but i was looking for some cheap but useful and personal Christmas gifts I could make for my friends! Thanks again!

Thanks Rob! Love this video! 😎👍🏼

Going to make a heap of these! Major supermarkets here in Australia are fazing out plastic bags for groceries. So I'll have my own gorgeous cloth bags without all those store logos on them. Thanks for another fantastic tutorial. P.S. My fav veggie is sweet potato.

I just finished watching every single video you made and Jenny's. Keep you the good work! Do I get a treat? Teehee

Is soo cool to see you doing it

I've eaten romanesco under its older name, broccoflower. It was pretty good, but I decided that I'd rather just have a mix of broccoli and cauliflower. Less expensive too. I like all kinds of vegetables, from ordinary carrots and peas and green beans and corn, to more exotic eggplant and fennel (LOVE fennel!) and celeriac and parsnips. I want to make a couple dozen of these bags and present them to my quilty friends. The pockets are a wonderful addition.

Cute bag. super easy.

Love this project 😍 Getting materials and machine ready to make a few tomorrow and I thought, I might make only one pocket and use the other pocketpiece to make a small bag/pouch just big enough to hold the folded up grocery bag, when not in use. Already looking forward to your next tutorial 😃😃

More functional projects please---great video! I.e. martha stewart and many others have some great project books---many of us just feel a little intimidated by them---or some pintrest things ....either way it would be really cool to see some of those things made on video :-) Love ya Rob

Romanesco is only thought to be a hybrid, but is related to both broccoli and cauliflower. The cool thing is that it grows in a fractal pattern. Sounds great. I had to look it up though. Love your videos, hope you are still recording in 2019 - that's "when" I am!

I'm a new subscriber, love this video!!

Oho!! You are the first man to sewing I see on youtube, That so awesome :)
