Yay!! Congratulations! The more you sew the better you'll get :)

Thank you very much for all your videos Erica! I really like your style, colour combinations and fabrics which drew me into watching you tutorials. This one was my first sew along and though my bag turned out tiny somehow it’s something I’m super proud of. Wish I could show you! Thank you very much. Now I’m onto your scissor case tutorial next. Thank you ❤

You give the BEST walk through instructions on KZread. No joke. I have made many of your items successfully and only because your tutorials are so good. YOU ARE AMAZING. Thank you so much!!!!

Agreed!!!! I’ve watched so many trying to get my head around sewing but always come back to Erica’s videos

I am a beginner; in fact this is the first bag I ever made...turned out fantastic! My friends were going crazy with compliments; even I said WOW! I just made my second one for a friend’s daughter to carry her laptop and a couple books for college; I adjusted the pattern to make a little bigger and again: FANTASTIC! I can’t thank you enough...you made it nice and simple to follow you and I learned a lot from your video.

Once I get my craft room done, this is in my to do list. Thanks for your instructions! Can't wait to get back to quilting!

You sew such straight lines! It’s awesome!

Thank you Ericka. Enjoyed much. Very easy to follow. I get when you say towards the end that your ready to be done at a certain point. I felt it too.

Love the tutorials of projects using mini charm squares. This tote is so cool. I’m going to make one. Thank you, Erica.

Thank you for the great tutorial. I made a bag for myself and several people have commented about liking my purse ❤ so now I have made two more for friends. Thanks again!

Made this turned out great now I am making a second one. I added a Kleenex holder and book mark. This time Kleenex holder bookmark and a zippered pouch and a button closure! Makes great gifts thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you SO much!!! First project I've completed that turned out perfectly!!!

Awesome. I taught a class after watching this . The beginner sewers loved making this project. Anyone new to sewing can make this. Thank you for sharing! Susan , from Canada

Thank you for making this video. You're an inspiration to me to get back into sewing. Thank you again!

Just made 2 of these , so cute. I added another pocket to help the lining box better. Love these

The best tutorial ever! I have just finished a very cute bag using your video for a dear friend’s birthday. Thank you so much! Xx

Really love this tutorial Erica. I am yet to make a tote. My almost 12 year old grand-daughter has asked me to make her one. After watching this tutorial I think l will be trying this one. Love your fabrics and teaching style, very easy to follow 💝

I did it! And it turned out great! (All I’ve been able to sew so far is crooked potholders) Could not have done it without your wonderful tutorial, thank you so much!!

I did it...took me 3 days but it's finally done!! I just love Erica's tutorials...so easy to follow...

Adorable bag. Great tutorial, designing in my head already and using up mini charm packs so perfect. Thanks!!

Thank you for being so thorough and full of details. I loved it!! Thank you for sharing !!!

Love this bag I have two ready to finish Thank you for the tutorial. I am from Australia and love sewing and quilting

Love this bag and I love Lella Boutique fabrics, too. Thank you, you're a great teacher!

Thank you! I discovered your channel when I needed a mask-making tutorial and yours was excellent! I just made this tote bag (a little smaller) for my granddaughter. So easy and fun! Ready to make another one now!

I love your tutorial. I took a break from piecing a quilt and made a bag today. You made it easy! Thanks!

Tried this as my first quilting project ever. I am hooked and it came out beautiful. Great instructions

This bag is adorable and you are a fantastic instructor! I made the bag to go to my first quilt show and I will fit right in, thanks to you!

I just made this bag. My first patch work. I really like it. Thanks for the great instruction.

Love the "magic" with the lining! Very easy and so neat and clean!!! Thank you for sharing!

What is the magic with the lining? Thanks.

I just finished my bag, I went out and bought a sewing machine for the first time and that was the first project I did with my new sewing machine I really love this project can’t wait to start another one!

I made this tote as my first quilting project to hold my supplies and it turned out great! I messed up a few measurements but followed this tutorial step and step and am very happy with it! Thank you for this tutorial!

Love your fabric choices, and your instruction was super clear! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your sewing knowledge, I really appreciate being able to go through your video playlists and watch (and pause my way through) a tutorial as I practice my sewing skills and try new projects. Your instructions are always clear and easy to follow - many thanks once again.

I loved your Tote, made it today and it looks great! I added a cardboard for stronger bottom, thanks. Monica from, La Paz, Bolivia, South America.

I have said this before, but you are a super instructor. You remind me of my daughter. She home schooled all of her children. I am making this bag for 3 of my closest friends for Christmas. Gotta make one for myself. Thank you.

I can totally make this bag. You're such a great tutor, easy to follow instructions. Thank you for your hard work.

I did it! Thank you Erica, you are such a great teacher!

I just dont know how you get everything done in a day, lol. Your very talented. Your my number one tutorial presenter. I am trying to do all of them. You obviously try very hard to help us beginners and novices get it done. Thank you! My quilting days are just beginning. I just love all it encompasses. Keep up the Great work!, Maggie

I agree with you Margaret Barnes. How does she get everything done, she seems relaxed, home schooling 4 kids, cooking, husband, she must have nerves of steel.

Just finished my first bag with this tutorial. It turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm new to quilting and want to make something smaller and quicker than a blanket (which has been a heck of an experience for a first project!). I was really intimidated by all the "easy" patchwork tote tutorials I had read, but after watching your video I'm feeling confident I can make this! You've shown and explained everything so clearly. Thank you :)

Erica ... thank you sew very much for your excellent bag pattern and easy to follow directions. It made a wonderful tablet bag for a teenager's birthday! I had been looking for a pattern for months and yours was perfect 🥰

Thank you for the tutorial it was very clear and my tote bag turned nicely.

I have only been watching tutorials for a couple days. Gotta say I just love this bag and I am sure I will make one for myself. Maybe for my daughters and daughter-in-law for mothers Day, too.

I am watching from England. Lovely patchwork tote bag. How do I get the instructions with measurements. Janice Read 🙋‍♀️

I just came across your channel only a couple of days ago and I love your tutorials!!! I just made this bag yesterday and it came out so good!!❤

Thank you so much for a brilliant tutorial ,I've just made one and I'm delighted with it. You are a fabulous teacher.You explain everything so well

I have used your tutorial and my bag came out great, looks surprisingly professional(!) I went with the fusible fleece option. I added a popper so the bag user can close the top a little. Thanks very much for the tutorial!

I made this and I love it! Making another for my sister. Such clear instructions. Easy peasy. Thnx Erica :)

Me too!

I love to to watch your video. You explain everything so well that we can do our projects you do a wonderful job.

I learn a new technique/method/tip every time I watch one of your tutorials. Thank you, made this for my MIL for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Bags are clearly stash busters and so useful for gifts and every day use. It is so much much matching up random fabrics. I have so much home dec pieces and have lined up and cut into grocery store bag size, and made bags and give to family and friends for Costco, and grocery stores, I made sure they were totally washable and doubled, they could be turned inside/out. I also made some with the heavier plastic netting so sand and tiny particles could flow through. Not all exact, just depended on size of fabric I had, and of course some of the fabrics matched better than others.

Love this bag can't wait to start a new project!

I just found your channel Erica. Great tutorial for a simple bag. Love your choice of fabric on this and it made up into a really cute bag. Thanks for sharing. You made it look so easy. I have made a number of bags and this is the easiest of them I think. No need to make it complicated, for sure!

I love all your bag ideas, big and small, that are so handy to have but also use up those pesky scraps!!! :-) Keep them coming! You're such a great teacher.

Love, Love your videos. Your videos are so easy to listen to and the more I watch these bag tutorials the braver I am getting. I have bought all my supplies to make this bag for my daughter's Birthday. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you Erika for your wonderful tutorial! 💚

I did it! Tutorial made it possible. Thank you so much. I bought the pattern so I can do it again with different colors. My first time ever making a patchwork tote and a tote.❤

I love your technique for the handles. Thank you so much!!

Erica! I am actually doing my first "proper" bag tomorrow morning and while I had an idea what to do... your super simple and VERY well explained tutorial has been a wonderful help! No doubt I'll watch it again in the morning to check I'm following every step of the way. Thanks SO much for sharing!! Best wishes from a quilter in Ireland 🍀

I had to watch this video about 100 times and I enjoyed every minute of it. Your tutorial was easy and educational. I finally finished my 1st quilted tote bag. I promised my mom I was going to make her one and I am surprising her with it this weekend. Thank you.

Awesome tutorial...very well explained!! I have a bunch of cool charm packs waiting to be transformed. Merci!

Love your videos, very clear instructions. I will be making one of these bags, or two or three !!

I just made this for myself. It was easy as Erica said...but, the piecing and quilting was a little tiring for me! I had to take breaks in between starting new sections. But, I did it and it came out very cute. I used Happy Days charm pack by Sherri & Chelsi. I plan on making another with a darker charm pack! Thanks Erica. Have a Merry Christmas!

I love iron on bosal for my bags- cute cute I am using the newest lella boutique charm squares for mine this week! thanks for hte cute idea!

Do you have a formula for the lining demensions if the bag is made at a different size?

I learned so much! Thanks!

What an excellent tutorial, going to make this and get my sewing mojo back. Thank you so much for such a clear presentation

Great instruction! Much appreciated ✂️

I love this. Your tutorials are great!!

I just followed your tutorial by replaying several times for each step and I didn’t have a mini charm pack and my daughter wanted a nightmare before Christmas themed one so I had to cut ALL the patchwork pieces but it turned out AMAZING

Thank you Erica for this lovely tutorial. So easy to follow. I made it

Thank you for this lovely video. Enjoyed it greatly and learned so much. 😊

You always use such pretty fabrics. Love them

I made it! I love it so much. Thank you

Cute tote! Great tutorial with thorough instructions.

Awesome video. Love, love, LOVE the fabric. I’ll probably never find it. I’m watching this vid in 2021. Great instructions.

Hi Erica, love your videos. I have a Panasonic iron too and it was the best thing I ever spent money on. Keep up the good work, you do such a good job. 🤗🤗🤗

I know I came late to the tutorial, but your teaching techniques are excellent. You remind me of my mom teach me to sew years ago! Thanks.

I am so amazed with myself. It looks ok. My first time quilting. 😊

Great tutorial, Erica. Thank you!

I love this bag I'm definitely making this THANK YOU
