I found this channel yesterday. I made the bag today. Love it! I’m seeing so many possiblilities and different sizes to make! Great way to decrease my stock pile! ❤️❤️

I've watched a lot of these tote bag videos and yours is now my favorite one. Thank you for such great teaching.

Love how matter of fact and casual you are, I can relate! You make explanations easy, thank you!

Thank you for not making us wait through the slow sewing parts. So nice to see the process without the time for stitching.

I used to love sewing with my Grandmother when I was younger and have just recently gotten back into it. Thank you for making these easy to follow and simple beginner tutorials! It does wonders for boosting confidence when starting out! So I appreciate it!

You are a GREAT instructor. Love watching your videos.

Thank you so much for this!!! I made a Lilo and Stitch one last night as a gift. It was so quick and easy. I am making myself a Zelda one tonight. You explain so clearly and well. This was my second project ever and really gave me the confidence I needed with my new sewing machine. Thank you!

Thanks Virginia, for sharing to stitch this Tote bag full of Pockets ! I will surely stitch this Tote Bag & gift it to my daughter . I think she will love it !.Bye & Keep Posting.

Thanks, Virginia- I combined this and the fabric gift box boxy corners and it came out so great. Your tutorials are fabulous- I used my own spoonflower fabric and love my new boxy corner tote.

Fun, fast, and easy thanks to Virginia's help. Very clear instruction and depiction. Thanks Ginger Cake

Can't wait to get back from vacation to make this tote! Simple and easy directions. Your sewing table is uncluttered and pleasant to look at. Just found you last night on KZread! This is going to be a good time! Thank you very much! 😊

Thank you for explaining slowly. You are a Great teacher!!

This is so cute. You made it so simple. I dont know why anyone will give it a thumbs down because you explained the process quite well.

Absolutely! I wondered the same as well. Her presentation was a beyond Amazing! And what people dont get is that it's Real life Practical tote bag in the making. She is teaching us such useful and resourceful things. We owe her lots of love, support and respect.

Not only is the tote bag the best, but this tutorial is as well. Thank you for such a clear and thorough explanation and very useful visuals at every step. I used this to sew my first tote which came out perfect enough to gift to my niece.

Oh I love this and can’t wait to make one for my grandsons!! Just recently started sewing again and I’m having fun!! Thank you Virginia!!! I started making hats for the nurses and it got me going!!

Where can u find the measurements

Wonderful video! I am looking into making a little bag for my grandma to use for her walker and this gave me such a great idea of how to construct it. Thanks for sharing!

Now we need an easy purse to go with this bag. Love your patterns.

That is great Gary! I agree that you can do so much with this bag. I am so glad that you got it done and enjoyed the process :)

Thank you for sharing your talents, loved it

Thanks for the quick and easy tutorial. I'm teaching a few kids how to sew and wanted a quick bag pattern that would give them nice clean results they could be proud of and this hit the mark just right. I simplified it down to just the basic bag with no pockets - this is only their second project after all - and they were able to sew them start to finish in about an hour and a half. Of course I made one myself and it came together in 15 minutes but it took 30 years to get that fast ;)

I just made this and I love it! I'm going to make lots more. Thank you for this great tutorial.

just received your book yesterday. Love it. Can't wait to start the projects. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, Virginia! I made one today. I didn't have the right kind of interfacing so I used a thin pelon batting. (Never again!) I made the same mistake as you with the inside pocket! Can't wait to make more! Thanks again for the awesome video! (Oh, I also included a little strap inside to hold a small water bottle vertical.)

Have been teaching my granddaughter to sew and your youtube video is so good. Thank you and God Bless you and your family.

This was very easy & informative. I am going to make one for my phone & water bottle the pockets will be perfect. I go outside to watch my 4 grandchildren all summer & need a bag to carry & protect those items. This can easily hang on my chair👍Thank you!!

Thank you for your tutorial. I have been trying to find a vid on how to do the pockets and you showed it perfectly! Thank you 🙏 again.

I made some of these for my grand daughters when they were little but they were coloring book totes and the pockets were made to hold the crayons with individual baby pockets for each crayon and did that on both outside pockets. It just dawned on me I need to make one for my grand son. Poor little guy is the only boy out of 6 grand kids.

sounds like a great use for this bag! sometimes those little boys get forgotten in the sewing!

I Love your half yard bags🙄they will make great GIFTS THANK YOU SO MUCH,I AM NEW TO SEWING, THAT MAKES ME WANT TO DO MORE WITH SIMPLE PROJECTS.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hello Virginia.That was a wonderful demo for sewing a half yard tote !!! I can't wait to stitch one !!

Thank you for this demo! I love totes with pockets and lining. Your directions are easy to follow. Can’t wait to try making this. I’ll check out your website, too!

Hi, I have been searching for a simple tote pattern. I found you. This was so simple and easy to follow. I decided to use vinyl for this project. It turned out well. I am used to sewing but in an industrial setting. But when it comes to simple things such as tote bags I feel lost. Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was extremely helpful.

I love this tote pattern and you made the directions easy to follow. Thank you so very much for sharing. It was so much fun making it. I used the lining fabric to make the straps. My first try didn't come out perfect but I will be making several more for friends and family. (I realized that I should have made the seams a little wider). I have included a few photos. The second one shows the lining and inside pocket.

thank-you Virginia, cute tote

Love that bag, going to make one ....Tks for a good presentation .... ❤️🌹❤️🇵🇹

So sweet! Thanks for sharing...the glue stick trick is just too cool...gosh I *hate* basting lol

So so beautiful and I love the detailed explanation...mine turned out as beautiful as yours ...thank you ❤️

So cute, just learning to sew, going to try this out! Thank you for the simple instructions! Lol

Thanks for your great tips and instruction! I thoroughly enjoyed making this little tote and the simplicity of it!

you are welcome Melinda! I am glad it worked well for you!

Great video. I made the bag and love it. So easy!!! Thanks!

Great bag 😃 👑 easy to make !. 😁 🎀 thanks for sharing.

Loved your explanation!! Realy quick and easy! Thanks

I've seen on several tutorials, and I myself also use glue stick. I've never had a problem. I've bought the really expensive glue stick from the quilting section before and honestly it's the same quality just three times expensive

Excellent! Best bag method I’ve seen so far 😊

By far the easiest video I have ever came across. I'm still a beginner with many different things and I got to make a tote bag for a friend and it came out beautifully. I was also able to learn pockets thanks to you. Definitely will be subscribing and watching more of your projects!

Love this bag! Thank you for the tutorial!

Just found your channel and just watched this as my first video. I love it! You explain so well and I can see clearly. Can’t wait to watch more ! Thank you so much!

I really love this bag! Thanks! 😀

Can’t stop making these totes!

Thanks for the cute and easy bag, now I can get my Grandchildren to make one.

Great little bag! I really enjoyed making it😃

If you deliberately use a very light colored lining it's easier to find things when you are searching through your bag.😊

Great bag. Virginia. Loved the tutorial. Have made one of your bags from your website and it came out beautifully. Thanks

I love it. So cute. It's on my list to make. Thank you

Wow...it's really pretty......and I love this bag

Im going to try making this as a purse with a zip ! CUTE!

AddieMaes Mom that’s a great idea!

By watching your video I think I have figured out a way to add an extra pouch to make the tote a double one with two pouches instead of one. Thank you so much for showing a different way to make a lined tote bag!

Thanks for the video, I have your book, love your ideas, love your patterns.

Thank you so much, made one for my grandson, it is precious. Wish I could post a pic.

This is really descriptive. Thank you for this tutorial I'll make this once I get the time and fabric

I love it....I would definitely need more pockets for what I would use it for......great job and thank you!

Thanks so much 😀🌷 I really want to do it. You are a good teacher.

Easy to follow tutorial. Thank you!

I enjoyed this video, very informative and l loved the look!!

You made it look so easy to make☺️

Very nice. Great instructions. Anxious to make it. Thanks.

Wow I really love this tutorial, love the hand measurement too thanks!! I might add a magnetic snap !!! Thank You

Thank you very much good clear instructions and I have made a lovely bag too.

OMG. So beautiful

Hi. This is great for me as a beginner. I will try it today foe sure. Thank you so much!

Cute 🥰 , and simple . Thanks .

thank you Virginia easy peasy, love it

Gorgeous! I love the fabric you chose. I would like to add the extra step of making the corners so that the bag will have a little depth, I've already seen it in another video, but overall your instructions are very clear and the bag looks great!

Love the fabric

Thank you just learning and that was a big help

Hi, last week I made a lovely butterfly tote bag, and yes it was a couple of days after christmas, this week started make another bag with the same pattern design on the front and forgot how to put the linning in. Ye a very senior moment and I'm only 61, so not inpressed with myself. as we do I went onto youtube and found your video, thank you, half way though whatching the video I remembered how to do it. P.s I made 6 of your bags in one after for friends birthdays that are coming up soon, once again Thank you for your instruction.

very clear tutorial, thank you!

I've seen quilters use the glue stick. As long as it's water soluble it's ok......I like it!!!!!!

simple and nice...I like it

Loved this. Thankd

VERY NICE. USEFUL. NEAT &CLEAR VIDEO. THANKS.

Great idea and easy tote. Thank you. I would put the glue inside of the sewing area. Cheap glue (I use :-) ) usually isn't water soluble.

I think this would make an awesome little diaper bag when you don't want to carry a huge one. if you boxed the corners and added a Velcro closure. love this idea!

I love this tutorial x

thank you!

I've made tote bags from several patterns but your method is the easiest, yet with more, ie the pockets. Fabulous and thankyou! Just one thought, maybe check if the inner pocket will hold a mobile phone? Just love your "blue houses" fabric. 😊

That is so cute

Wow love your tutorial the way you teach just as simple and explanatory and to the point I will be making a couple of these bags for gifts (love your pin cushion so cute )you gave me an idea making one did you make them out of 1" square blocks ? Great Job!!
