Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I sewed my first bag using this video.

So glad I found you. Your tutorials are so clear and so easy to understand. Thank you.

Love the way you teach. Thank you

I so appreciate you and the others that make these tutorials. I am not a good person for sewing but since I found your post I have made a few items and find myself really enjoying it. I live on a fixed income and have to buy things when I find them on sale, I also have come across some tutorials that want you to pay for their patterns. I understand that they also are trying to make extra money, but I have found your site so helpful and thank you for sharing your experience. I now look forward to seeing what I can make with your help. Again thank you 😊, you are pleasant to watch and listen to.

I feel like sewing today. And this project is just enough for me today. My sewing room is so clean and cute I hardly want to mess it up even a little. But. I gotta sew day. Thanks

Erica, I love this project. Thank you for sharing this cute bag, I’ve got some fabric coming tomorrow and I will give this a try! Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

Thank you Erica! A great tutorial. I appreciate you taking us through every step. This may be the project to make for Holiday gifts!

Great bag and you’re right, perfect for small projects, love your tutorials!!! 💚

I have all this type of fabric and colours. Thank you so much for your inspiration Erica .♥️

Not only are the fabric prints adorable, this bag/tote is too cute! Thank you 😊

I loved this tutorial! I'm going to try making it tomorrow after I pick out my fabric tonight! Keep 'em coming! Thank you!

This is a well-organized, nicely taught tutorial. I'm excited to make one of these bags and maybe organize a sew day with my small quilting group. Thanks!

too cute, and you are a great instructor and love your paper instructions for later when Im at fabric store figuring out my supply list and favorite colors. Love this size for some of my favorite Valentine gals, with some small treats and chocolate. They can use for small shopping trips or even a lunch bag! thanks again.

I love how your not stressin about measuring or ironing. Good job..

PERFECT. Just the type of bag tutorial I was looking for. Thank you! Your a very good teacher also.

I love the bag and your instructions were very clear. Thank you for sharing this.

You are so fast but amazing ! Love your tutorials. Big Thanks; for sharing all your wonderful knowledge!

This is just precious. Great tutorial. Well done. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial and pdf! I like that you used batting on the outside pocket and then the foam on the body of the bag. The bag is sturdy without being too bulky!

Absolutely love this tutorial. Everything was so clear and I love the bag.....will actually use it as a purse. Thank you again. Hope to see more of your videos.

All of your tutorials great! I really appreciate how thorough & easy to follow they are! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 This bag is fantastic...looking forward to making one!

Thanks Erica-I finally got around to making this bag and it turned out so cute. I plan to carry my lunch it work in it🌷

I love it. You've given me confidence to try to sew a zipper. Never done one before !

Loved your tutorial and made one from mostly scraps! Cute. Thanks for the ideas.

Excellent tutorial! You actually made the zipper portion seem easy, thank you!!

I am SO looking forward to making this bag...great instructions, very well presented! I love your fabric choices and I look forward to raiding my own stash Thanks Erica!

I have watched several of your tutorials and I love the way you are able to coordinate colors and patterns. Your projects are so cute!

Thanks for this excellent instructional video, and your free pattern. Your tips and techniques are also very helpful, especially the part about not needing a zipper foot (I've misplaced mine, and really want to be making zippered bags!). I've added this to my "quilted projects I must make" list! ~Diana from Toronto

Love your tutorials! Looking through my fabric now! Thank you! 😊

Thank you for such a great video. I've struggled with bags and this broke it down and was so incredibly helpful. I'm going to make one for myself for mothers day!

Hi Erica - Love this bag and the size is perfect. Beautiful fabric choices. Need to make a few bags for my crochet and embroidery work. Love boxed corners on my bags for the very reason you said - they stand up on their own! Great job as always. Thanks! Stay warm! 🧵🧣🧶🧤

I was just saying I needed a zipper bag for Bible Study!! Great job Erica, can't wait to make it.

LOVE THIS TUTORIAL ! Your instructions are super easy to follow and the bag looks like something you would buy in the store. You also took the fear out of zipper installation. I will be subscribing. Thank you!

I love this little bag! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for this awesome tutorial! I love your tutorials - I've learned so much from them!

Thank you for tutorial & free pattern. Very easy to follow. Now I have use for my mini charm packs! I got tired of making book marks from them! Love the blue check material! Going to go buy some to copy you! I don't have kids, no need for homeschooling stuff, but I LOVE your sewing style and watch those videos. 💙💙💚💚💛

Love this!!! Can't wait to make one! Thank you for sharing!!! :)

So excited to watch this and make!! Love your videos!!!

I love your tutorial on this bag! I definitely will try this and take a picture! Thanks for all your great videos! My best friend is coming in from Colorado in two weeks. I might get supplies ready for TWO bags so we can sew together.

Your videos have the best directions, perfect visuals, and really cute projects. Now that I've made this one, I'm going to try making one much bigger. So much fun, so little time!! Thanks very much!!

Love your sewing videos! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Erica, you make it look so easy 😊

That's the cutest bag - thanks for showing us how to make it.

I just happened upon your channel this week and it has been so satisfying to watch your work come to life!!!! I am so inspired to attempt a bag to hold my things as I prepare to return to my classroom in a couple of weeks. Keep the videos coming!!!

I used your instructions to help me out together a purse. Thank you!

Great tutorial! I am definitely going to make this bag. Thank you for your guidance.

Thank you for all the tips and techniques. I am excited to make this bag.

Love this bag Erica. The outside pocket is great for holding your knitting/crochet pattern so you don't have to stuff it in the bag, especially if your using one of the magnetic boards for holding your pattern. Great job as usual.

Love this bag. I’ve made bags for years and your tutorial is very easy to follow along with. Your a very good teacher! My mistake in the process was not paying attention to the boxing the corners. My hand slid INSIDE the outside pocket during the process and not knowing this till I turned it right side out and found my scrappy front pocket with the lining facing out. LOL. Everything was perfect up to that point. I’m keeping it this way just to remind myself. 🤣🤣

Thank you for sharing, Erica ! It's a really nice,cute bag !

Erica I just love all of your turtorials!! You are so talented and inspiring thank you so much for making them! I can't get enough of your bags!! Could you please show to make a lunch box next time?

I just made my 2nd bag. The first was okay, but I learned from my mistakes. The second one is really nice. You are an awesome and pleasant instructor. Thanks, keep the videos going.

Very cute! I love all your bags.

Another great project...thanks, Erica!

Yay!! I was asking about this and you posted it! Thank you!!!

Your tutorials are so easy to follow. I made a few Christmas stockings following your tutorials and every one that got one absolutely loved them...so thank you. I've just subscribed to your channel. This would be perfect for a dear friend who's expecting her first child. 😍😍

Adorable bag - Thanks for sharing with us!!! I love your video!

I have been searching for a tote bag/lunch bag....this is perfect...my co-worker asked me to make one a while ago.....now I can....thank you so much!!!!

This bag is super cute, I am going to make it for my great niece for her Birthday and I plan on putting snacks and a sippy cup with crayons. I just thought she would feel super grown up with her own bag. Thank you for the free pattern too, I truly appreciate that for sure.

Beautiful...I just happen to bump on this channel searching how to make a bag with zipper and pocket and I just find the right one thank you so much excellent tutoring...looking forward to complete my bag in short order 🌹 thanks much..

I really enjoyed this video. It wasn’t confusing at all. Thank you very much!

Thanks Erica for this great bag. I made your squishy bag and it goes with me constantly as I keep my crocheting in it for when I go to craft group (we sometimes crochet hats for the newborn babies at our Mater Mothers Hospital) also other small crochet projects, or on the train etc. I will make this one to keep other on the go projects. I have just recently tried my hand at paper piecing and it will be great to keep all my gear together and ready to just grab and go. Plus I can keep a snack and a water bottle with me too. Love it.

Absolutely the best tutorial for making a bag with a lining and inside pocket I've ever seen. It had terrified me to make anything that looked so complex before seeing this video. Now I feel like I can actually conquer the task on my own because you broke it up into so many little steps that it didn't feel overwhelming. Thank you so much! I subscribed!

Fun project! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for this great video and PDF Erica. This is just what I have been looking for. I'll be making them for my granddaughters, daughters in law and my friends for extra Christmas gifts. Best wishes from Louisa in Scotland UK

Love it, love it. Please do more. Love, Gail

Okay, so I completed this bag this afternoon, and for the longest time I tried to figure out what I did wrong. When it was all completed, and by the way, great tutorial, my box bottom would not lay right once I pulled it all inside out. My front pocket was now inside out and on the back of the bag. I believe when I was boxing the bottom, I allowed the front pocket to lay folded to the wrong side when I was setting up the box fold. I'm going to make another, but future makers beware to watch the direction of front pocket when setting up a your box fold on the bottom corners. Really appreciate the work that is gone to to complete all your video tutorials. Each one of them are done very well!

Yes, you do need to make sure the front pocket is on the front of the bag before boxing the bottoms!
