Ahhhh, I fell in love with your easy-to-follow video and started right away. I’ve always wanted a bag like this and thought it would be easy for me. However,it took me longer than imagined, and after a week passed I decided it wasn’t you or your great video that made me take so long (it’s still not done but almost) it was me! I’m an 80 year old Nana with much hand arthritis but I’m determined. I am going to enjoy using this bag I made myself! Thank you!!! ❤

You pulling the bag out is like me coming out of my tight jeans so satisfying. 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Dana, thanks for the video and the pattern! I would like to make the straps longer, I can just add a couple of inches, right? Would I still measure down 10" from the strap top? Did that make sense? 🤔

Great video. My favourite part is when you finish cutting the grey fabric and just toss the piece you cut off on the floor. Very relatable!

Oh good! Thanks Anna! I’m so happy you feel confident to conquer all the parts….those tricky details are important ☺️ Have fun sewing!

I just love your videos! While I was pregnant I used your tutorials to make all my own burp cloths, changing pads, and crib sheets💙💙 You always make everything look so easy. Thank you!

Thank you, this is a wonderful project for young beginners ( or beginners of any age ). Thank you for not sewing over pins. It literally makes me feel sick when I see people doing it. I have a variety of machines and I'd not want any broken but I sure would hate damage and an expensive repair on my sewing/embroidery combo machines. So many people think it's OK and it really isn't. I'll let you know how my granddaughter goes with her first tote :)

We have missed you! I made so many of the items you share by video and they are always a great hit as gifts, etc…..keep them coming! We love your sunny upbeat attitude and it inspires us to make what you show

Making this was so fast & easy! It was a chance for me to try the sturdy outdoor type fabric. It was tough pulling through (I got a blister) but it really holds up nicely! Next time I'll shorten (or lengthen?) the 10" strap sewing line to hopefully create a bigger opening to pull through. I can't wait to make more of these! My friends & family will be getting plenty for book bags, dance bags, sports bags, grocery bags....yeppers! :)

So glad you put your information on the pattern. I couldn't remember how to assemble this six months after making my first bags, but I could easily find the tutorial. Thank you.

I have made two of the eight cut out. I love them for gifts and am using some of my bigger stash cuts I have had forever‼️Thanks again so much for your video Dana.

Thank you for the detailed videos. I especially appreciate the camera view when you sewing. I get intimidated when it comes to sewing, but I usually feel I can do it when YOU do a video. You explain so well and you approach imperfections like no big deal. When you come across an imperfection, I feel normal. I wish you had more videos. Missed seeing your videos.

Thank you so much! Now that I am retired I decided to revisit the crafts my Mom taught me. Your instruction for the reversible tote bag is so friendly and easy to follow. I decided to hand sew it (which means it is not done yet), but I have arrived at the right side out stage - yay! And end up watching the next step in your video before I move on. Thank you for being welcoming and providing great instructions.

Great pattern, thank you for all the ideas and how toos. Trying to get back into sewing after over 20 years. Not that I was very experienced just things we needed. Love the way you teach and the great things you make. 💜

Dana, I'm so happy that I found you and your tutorial. Yay, you made it so easy for me to follow and now I'm on my way to becoming an expert "bag lady". Thank you so so much.

Thank you so much for the pattern and tutorial! I'm teaching a beginning sewing class for 9-12 year olds and needed something to match their skill level and attention span. This and the pillowcases look perfect!🧵

You are a natural born teacher and a breath of fresh air! Thanks for the great tutorials!

Thank you so much for the easy-to-follow instructions. I cannot wait to get started sewing. You are a joy to listen I so appreciate you. 😇❤

I love quick and easy projects, I’m a newbie at sewing after a year I’ve learned so much. Love your videos thank you

Ooo - I’m excited to make some of these. Thank you so much. My grandkids have benefited from your WONDERFUL patterns. And your tutorials have made everything so clear and fun (as your peppy voice guides me along in my head 😄)

And thank you so much for doing this on a smaller machine! Love that you made a point to do that. ❤️

I make and sell Kitchen Boa’s at the Farmer’s Market. A client asked me if I would make her a hippie boho bag. I told her I have never made one and wasn’t even sure I could. She had all the confidence in me that I lacked in myself. After the market I came home and started looking for patterns. Could not find one that was right. So, came to KZread and found this video. I have cut out all of the fabric but haven’t sewn it yet. Since this was to be a crossbody bag I lengthened the straps quite a bit. I hope it still turns out. Only thing is I won’t be able to measure the strap for 10” before sewing. You have made it look so easy except the part of turning the bag right side out. Thank you

Thank you so much Dana, I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous Boho bags. I’m going to make one for my best friend. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Oh good! Yes, these are a fun style of bag to make! You can do a variation on the bag also by cutting the handles extra long and tying them in knots instead of sewing them together. You'd want to finish off the edges of the ties, but that's the basic idea :) Or add pockets, etc. I hope you have fun sewing! - Dana

Love this! Thank you. Glad to see you back again!

Thank you so much. I made 2 boho bags using your pattern. I added pockets on my lining pieces because I just want boho bags (with lining and pockets), no need reversible. They are beautiful and just the perfect size bags. Highly recommend. Thank you so much again xx

I was thinking of doing the same thing by adding pockets 🤔

I sew three of the straps all the way to about 3 inches from the top. The fourth strap I sew one side to the same 3 inches from the top. I leave the other side open and turn through that larger opening and the just have one side to sew together before sewing the top seam of each strap. Makes it so much easier to turn and also get them all to match. Love this pattern and have made many. Most of mine have pockets inside and out. Thank you!
