Although this is from six years ago ... I just wanted to say that I made this bag today and it came out great! Perfect step-by-step tutorial. I had a little trouble with the zipper ends looking perfect but it's the first time I've installed a zipper so not too shabby. Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I set up my iPad with it on (so I could pause as needed) and went through with you. I made my first project bag for knitting (fits all my shawl materials in perfectly). My friends couldn't believe I actually made it (neither could I)...it turned out that good and was very quick and easy. Thanks again!! =)

You are a natural teacher. What a great, concise, easy to understand and follow tutorial. Thank you so much.

Made this bag and it turned out exactly like it wanted. It’s the perfect size for taking a sock project on the go. Next time I think I’ll add a small pocket to stick my stitch counter or something small. Thanks, Erica for a great video. The instructions along with the pattern were perfect!

Great and simple bag. Love it. I think I'm going to sew a little vinyl pocket on the outside so I can slip a card in with the name of the project on it to avoid having to look inside when I've completely forgotten what I'm making. :)

What a great tutorial! I've been watching a lot of knitting podcasters showing their project bags, feeling a bit sorry for myself that I can't afford them. I do have a sewing machine, along with very basic sewing skills (can't follow a pattern, but can sew straight lines!); plus, I have a lot of scrap fabric my mom gave me when she quit sewing. I can hardly wait to sew up one of these bags. You have also taken away the fear of putting in a zipper. My adult daughter has assured me it's incredibly simple, but I didn't believe her, lol. She lives far away or I'd have gotten her to teach me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! PS-I also homeschooled!

I happened upon your video, thanks for explaining everything so well. You have a good way about you, in that you speak to us in a manner that's easy to understand. Best, Gail

Great tutorial. Will be making some of these in different sizes. Thanks for the details you put into your tutorials. Sure does help that you show all steps as you go.

Thank you for posting these instructions. I own several squishy project bags that I bought from New Zealand from another KZreadr. They were already made. I absolutely love these kind of bags for my crochet projects. I have several huge boxes of quilting fabrics that belonged to my late Mom. So many possibilities for all kinds of cute bags!

Hi Erica, I just today made your squishy bag. It turned out great. Sadly, I don't know how to send photos. I crochet baby hats for our hospital and I will use it to keep all my gear in so I can crochet anywhere and it's all organised and kept clean. Thanks so much. I love it.

January 27 2024 this is the perfect bag that I have been looking for putting my sock kniitting that I am learning. I have looked on so many sites for premade ones and just was not satisfied with either the material or the cost! Appreciate so very much the detail of your tutorial for a beginner and now ready to do a few to get my projects all set up in pretty makes. Thank you. 😊

LOVE THIS BAG! Made one out of scrap fabric. Added a snap tab on the inside for my yarn to go through while working my project! Wish I knew how to add a picture! Thank you for making the video!

Will be making this bag for sure! I too am a quilter and knitter. Super cute! Thank you for the great tutorial.

Great tutorial for a great bag by a great teacher! Thank you very much! 😎

This is one of the most thorough and easy to understand tutorials I've ever watched. You made sewing the zipper uncomplicated. Thank you!

I stubbled upon your video as I make a very similar bag. It always amazes me how we seamstress go about things so differently and essentially end up with the same products!! Keep on sewing!! 😊

Wonderful project! I really love and appreciate the detailed tutorial.

Very well made tutorial Erica! Thank you so much. I have a lovely sheepy print fabric that would look great in this project. Can't wait to get started.

Thank you for a great tutorial. I love the way you put the zipper in the bag!

I made a project bag using your tutorial! I plan to make a couple more. Thank you for taking time to present this on KZread.

Thanks Great job. I love tutorials... even though I've been sewing for 40years or so. I forget how to process my projects. It makes me feel more confident when mom isn't at the other end of the phone. Someday she won't be at the other end of the phone..... perhaps I'll be the one that family and friends come to to get project help.

I make pouches every day, just enjoy it so much fun and i can stash everything in them. I have made as small as a four inches and boxed. Love your squishy bag.

I made my first Squishy bag yesterday. Great instructions! I am really pleased with the bag I made. Will be making the drawstring bag next.

Just finished the bag. Love It! Thank you for the tutorial. it was perfect.

I made this bag today. I'm so happy with how it turned out. It will be perfect for my smaller knitting projects. Thank you for posting this video. Your step by step instructions are easy to follow and having the measurements for the materials needed in the description box is so helpful.

Yet another amazing tutorial! So clear and concise. Trying this one today!

Love this bag! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm planning on making several, one for my sister who knits, and a couple for myself. I'm a quilter and I'd use them for keeping my English paper piecing projects and another for holding my quilt scraps!

I love ❤️ this bag. I will be waiting for the PDF . Thank you for your time!

Thanks Erica. I made one with your very clear step-by-step directions.

Thank you for the cute project bag! I just made it out of Tula Pink fabric and it’s totally adorable! I purchased your crochet pumpkins pattern and have already started making them for next Autumn, they reside in my new bag as I work on them.

Just made one today! Thanks for the great tutorial. Love my new knitting project bag!

😍Love this bag, thank you Erica! I am going to make some, and it's a different method than I have already used but nice and easy. ❤️

Thank you, I made my first bag and am very pleased with the result from following your tutorial. I love my squishy bag.

I have 2 bags that started a century ago and never finish them because I'm learning to sew and it always looked so complicated! This is the BEST TUTORIAL I've seen on how to make a bag! I'll be making your bag very soon, Thanks!

Will definitely be watching more of your videos. And thank you for having so much patience. blessings :-)

I have discovered small bags and I love this one!! Thank you.

Dear Erica, thank you very much for this toturial. Your job is great!

thanks for another great tutorial! I love your sewing projects! keep them coming! I don't have kids, but I love your channel when you do projects everyone can use! thanks!

Thank you for good adwice💜💜 and easy explanations making those bags 🤗🇧🇻

Thanks..... can't wait to get started. Just waiting on my fusible fleece to get here in the mail!

When I put a little handle on my bags I like to have them on the end where the zipper tab is when it is closed - so when I am carrying it I don't take the chance that my zipper is not closed all the way and have some small item fall out. When it's on the that end it is at the upper end near the zipper pull when I am carrying it. Does that make sense?

Thank you so much for your instructions for your Squishy bag project!

Thank you for this awesome tutorial it was very easy to follow! I love my project bag!!🤗

love your tutorials you have a nice clear voice and directions i love this pattern a great bag

Going through your videos for something for my knitting and this is it. Thank you, your videos are awesome!

This was a great tutorial. Very well explained and clear instructions. Darling bag!! Thanks for sharing.

How sweet! Thank you. Great instructions.

As a complete novice sewer, I managed to produce a reasonable effort first time and a pretty good one second time (even if I say so myself!!). The instructions on the video are excellent - very clear and state exactly what you need to do and what the pieces should all look like. I'll post my squishy bag pictures - it's for my sister for Christmas so I hope she likes it. 😄

This is the one I quilted outer and lining together. Added zipper. Done. Fast…then realized I forgot the strap! Doesn’t affect it much, but your way so much better! Great for knitting/crochet projects. So quick to make. Thank you - Again!

Hi Erica, I'm Julie from Florida and I just finished making the squishy bag and I had so much fun!! the only difference I put tabs on my zipper it was a little challenging on one side of the zipper, but it worked out beautifully and I made the bottom boxed corner a little bit bigger. I love it now onto the next one. Thank you so much for taking the time to do the tutorials. If I can request maybe not so many advertisements ...thank you again from beautiful Florida..

Good tutorial, gives me ideas for presents for friends and also for our charity sales table.

I hope to make this ina few days thanks for showing me how.

I am totally luving your way of sewing

Koool! I just found these on line……it looks easy…….a quick project for a break from quilting!

After decades of procrastinating due to fear of failure, I made this bag yesterday and it came out beautifully. I chose not to quilt and I think that was a mistake but otherwise it's a good project with GREAT teaching. Thank you!
