the message below is from my nearly-10-year-old granddaughter. thanks for posting this video 😊 I embellished it with machine embroidery and used it to earn my Maker badge in Girl Guides.❤

Laura, your videos are always so easy and you explain things very well both verbally and demonstrated. Thank you for the brevity and editing; makes them easy to watch and to find the part of instruction I’m looking for when sewing. The bag is adorable and would also be great to give to new moms filled with diaper changing needs. Thanks for another great tutorial!

One more idea as I thought about this basket. I put a guest basket in my guest rooms with little treats & things they may have forgotten. This will be perfect for that! Thank you!

What a great idea with using pinking shears around the curves. That’s going to be my new cutting for the curves.

I did it, it's very good, especially for small curves

The pieces you cut out would make a cute pocket on the front!

Love love love this easy and cute bag!

Hi Laura, just reading your new book Sew Very Easy Patternless Sewing, which arrived this morning here is South Wales UK, and love it. 😍😍 Two things immediately stand out for me; 1) how many of the patterns can be used to make other things. I.e. the sewing machine cover, with very little alteration, can be a food mixer cover. Or made smaller it becomes a toaster cover. It is always a big plus in my book when one pattern can be used in many different ways. 2) It is an ideal book for teaching youngsters about sewing and quilting. Many of the patterns can be made up quickly so a child has the satisfaction, and joy, of making something and seeing the results in a short space of time. 😊😊😊😊

This is just the cuteset little bag. I am going to a pot luck this weekend and want to bring a little hostess gift. Not sure what to fill it with - maybe two small potted plants - one on each side... Or bulbs for her spring garden. Thank you Laura.

Your explanations are so excellent.

I made two of these this morning for Easter for two granddaughters ages 9 & 8 1/2. They loved them. Thank you for this simple and easy tutorial.

What a great wee bag perfect for the grandchildren’s easter hunt thank you for sharing

Yeah! I have a bunch of fat quarters, I am going to make some for my stitching friends. Thank you Laura, inspirational as always. Looking forward to more of your wonderful tutorials.

Love this tutorial! Thanks! Easter baskets came to my mind as well, my 4 grandkids would love it.

Nice as a gift for chemo patients. Fill with comfort items. Hand lotion, mints, etc.

Thank you for this beautiful and quick project. I made mine with fusible fleece to add more body. I wouldn't recommend anything heavier as turning it through the handles would be difficult. It came out perfect! Also, I stitched the handle cut-outs together - then sewed the two circles RST , turn & topstitch. Voila! made myself a small mug rug. Perfect for going to our community's coffee socials. Bonus! and no waste.

I'm thinking about how to adjust the measurements to be able to use insulated batting and use to transport baking dishes. Then the handle cut outs would be perfect pot holders.

Great idea and great video, as usual. Funny….I happen to have that exact fat quarters! We can’t find …or use…plastic bags any more. Not allowed. I have to admit I really miss them, but never thought of using them for my yarn.

Wow! I love that you dont waste all that time at the sewing machine. It makes the instructions go so much faster. Easy to understand and get going ! Thanks!

I absolutely love this! I sat down and made two right away! Don’t go too narrow on that handle. You have to get the body and the interfacing through there and it was thought enough with the 2” gap. I have four more fat quarters picked out! Thank you so much, Laura, for sharing this with all of us!

Yes, I used fusible fleece, just because that's what I have at home right now (I couldn't wait 😆) and it was a bit of a challenge turning it through, but not impossible, and it's a short distance, luckily, but the thinner handle could be done with very light or no interfacing, I imagine... and these quick, easy projects are my favourite 😊

I jusr found out about the handle, because I trimmed my circle on the outside so cut off my stitching. I decided to restitch it but ended up with a tiny handle. I’m starting a new one now

I enjoyed pulling Valentine fabrics from my stash and was amazed how many different ones! Kids are so excited to share and I'm shocked my Valentine stash is still bountiful!! Thanks for great pattern. Blessings, Dawn

Thank you for this video. I would be careful making the handle any skinnier. Getting all the fabric with interfacing back thru the hole didn't go so well for me in fact it didn't go . Make the basket bigger not the handle smaller. ♥️ Sewing 53 years still learning!!

It looked ok before I turned it right side out but no - handle was too short and the bottom was misshapen. Oh well. It was just something to try. On to something else.

Thank you for this! My mother used to make these over 50 years ago, I still have one and never ever thought it was cut the way you have shown. And I have been sewing for more than 50 years! thanks so much. :)

Perfect little bag/basket for our young flower girl to throw petals from at my daughter’s wedding. Thank you!

I sewed one this morning! I made mine bigger and inserted a round bamboo handle before closing the sides and bottom. I'm now sewing a matching zippered pouch to slip inside for when I want to use it as a purse, that way I feel more secure that what I'm carrying won't spill out. Thank you!

I ended up making 3 of these, one for my remotes, one for my special needs son's collection of torches, and one with matching cups with markers and crayons (as well as a ream of paper) for my niece's first easter! They're so adorable!

I was wondering what kind of easter baskets to give my great grandchildren. Now I know! Thank you for sharing.

Laura, OMG you have created a monster LOL. I am making lots of these little bags and am using them as Gift Bags. I wrap the presents as normal, and then handing the present over in one of these little bags, which is a gift in itself and can be used again rather than a bag being thrown away. Being kind to the environment. Thank you for a lovely video Laura.

My daughter's dog comes for a day of doggie day care sometimes, if she is away for quite a few hours. This little bag would be great to keep her doggie kong, ball and treats that I have on handy for her. No more searching around for things.

I love this! I can see making it as a basket for silk or paper flower bouquets. Great for any type of gift basket. Fill it with anything for a special occasion, Get Well, birthday, hostess gift, any holiday! Make it with novelty fabric that fits the recipient's personality. Unlimited possibilities! I have to make one today! I know my granddaughters would love an Easter basket from this also. Thank you SEW much! Love your videos!

I looked at the bag and thought -picnic for one. I have just ordered some fabric for a new summer dress and maybe I will have some leftover that I can use. During Covid I have missed having a picnic in the park. In the U K this year we will be celebrating the platinum jublee of our queen, a bit like your 4th July maybe? A small flask of tea, a sandwich and a cupcake or two (a napkin?)

Perfect timing! I just got a yard of fabric to make a thank you gift for a nurse. I’m using your DIY scrub pattern. Now, I can make this of the same fabric. I’ll use the sweet bag instead of gift wrapping it. Thank you.

Another great video thank you

Cute!

As soon as you showed the little bag I instantly thought of a gardening bag to hold gardening hand tools, however it would probably need to be in a fablon fabric. Love it. Thanks for sharing x

Very cute! I’m going to make one! 😊

Awww...so cute. I can just see my little granddaughter carrying around all her little treasures in this little tote bag. And it's so very easy to make! Thanks!

I just made my first one and it's gorgeous! I used a fleece interfacing, because that's what I've got at home, so the bottom seams are a bit too bulky to sit my salt and pepper mills in, but you bet I'll find another use for it! So I'm off to my fabric supply store this week for some thinner stuff lol

I LOVE THIS! Great for gift bags!

OMG, cutest bag ever! I can see filling it with sample-size hand cream, soaps, lip glosses, candy, incenses, flower seeds, and other treats for surprise "goodie bags" for friends. I'm heading to my studio to make one for an aunt.
