This bag is great for moms and dads to use. Well made. I bought this for a baby shower gift. The recipient loved it!

What a great idea adding the 2" or 3" fabric to separate the top and body of the bag. I will have to make one. I'll be using Lighthearted by Camille Roskelley.

The easiest video for Patchwork, thank you.

I really like the bags and was waiting for you to show us how the ties go on the sides of the bag . Not sure I will make it but it is lovely

Encantador diseño. Gracias por enseñarlo ❤❤❤❤

I had written instructions for a very similar bag but I'm more visual so this was RIGHT ON TIME! Thanks so much, now I can finish my bag.

I made this bag years ago, and I love it!!! I just made another today, and it came together so well!🤩

Fantastic! Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

I've been boxing the corners with a much more difficult technique. Why didn't I know about this way? It's so much easier!!

Great tutorial!! I love your instruction on the boxed bottom!!

Thank you so much for sharing this charm bag it’s beautiful easy to understand! 👍🏼

Great tutorial very precise and beautiful bag. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.

Absolutely brilliant..thank you so much for making it look so easy...

Thank you for sharing this, Ive just finished making one and love it!! 😊😁

Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial and for taking the time to do this. The colors are beautiful and this video inspires me to go home and use a new charm pack I bought. Thank you!

Absolutely loved the how to on making a box bottom. I have been doing them for a while but have been guessing. I definitely use this now. Thanks

I love your video and your instructions. You make it sound so easy.

I really enjoyed this tutorial and appreciate your cheerful, pleasant voice! Nicely done!

OMGOSH I love that tote

love this!!!

Thank you. Nice video like always.

Love the bag and the video is easy to follow. Great job! The only thing I would do different on mine is to sew the pocket right sides together, turn then topstitch to at the bottom. I would only do this because there would be not raw edges inside the pocket. But that's just me;)

Thank you for a very cool tutorial.

Nice video. In case anyone was wondering, I believe the pattern is for sale on their site somewhere which is why exact measurements probably weren't given. I just eyeballed it and figured it out and made one of my own for myself. I'm just trying to figure out how to sew the ties on so they look nice and neat. Thanks for the video.

+Phyllis B If we sew both ties into the side seam how do we get the folded-in sides? I still don't understand this. I think the ties on the sides need to be separated by a few inches so when they are tied they bring in the sides enough to make the bag look smaller. Maybe the pattern explains this but it would have been nice if she had.

I wrote my original comment before I actually made the bag. While making it, I saw the problem in sewing them into the side seams and figured out that I should sew the ties between the charm squares on the top row, which is what I did. On each side, I sewed one tie between squares 1 and 2 and another one between squares 3 and 4 just beneath the strip of fabric that separates the top and 9-patch of the charm squares. Wish I could post a picture here - it would be easier to see it rather than try to explain.

Thanks for this tutorial, exactly the inspiration I was looking for! The Charm Packs are a true boon to quilters especially beginners like myself. I noticed you used a section of fabric the same as one of the squares in the pack for the top of your bag. How would one obtain such a piece to compliment the Charm or Layer Packs.

Hi, Dawn. This particular fabric is no longer available. The manufacturer is Moda and the designers are "Me and My Sister." They often design similarly colored cheerful lines.

The bag that made in the video doesn’t stand up on its own, where the bags shown at the beginning could stand up independently. Is it a different kind of interfacing?

I really how she do the bag but she hasn't show how to do them together by sewing it. Some people who has no idea how too do sewing it will be difficult fir them so it will be 👎👎
