Adorable! I'm planning on making one for my DDIL for Christmas filling the pockets with earrings and bracelets and the center with a necklace. Thank you for your wonderful tute! The photos were extremely helpful!

This is a very nice project. It is now in my to-do list.

awesome !! for sewing with the grands@@ Thanks for sharing, I am both a visual and book learner, (scary at times for sure..LOL)and appreciate it !

Really cute!

You could add velcro to one of the pockets on the outside to make it more secure for her. And change the size to be exactly what she needs. Enjoy!

I certainly understand visual learning!

Rounding the four corners would be easy, just use a glass or small plate for the pattern.

On some, I am adding buttons myself. And changing the cord to a regular handle would not be hard.

Using your free arm is the easiest way. Since I didn't want to remove my sewing table for such a small area, I just pulled the bottom off to the side. Slide your hand inside and just pull the bottom back. There is enough room to do it without being too difficult. If you go much smaller, it will become a bit harder, kind of like working on doll clothes. But if you go bigger, it will be even easier.

Cute idea! Glad it works for you!

nice job and great tutorial Nancy

Thanks! You will see it again at a sew-in for the Guild. We will precut the pieces and make kits from it. It will be great for the Country Store too!

Thanks for the wonderful easy to understand tute about your absolutely adorable bag! Will be making some of these for Christmas gifts in everyones favorite colors. Love it! GREAT job of explaining.

Got it! Good for 6 grands. Now need something comparable for the boys. Thanks for your efforts.

Great tutee! Made one up this morning when I saw it and it went together so easy! tHANKS! My oldest daughter makes homemade lotions and soaps, so will get together with her to make some to put in the bags to give as gifts or sell.......thanks again!

WOW !!!

Nancy, Thank you so much for the tutorial on the bag, peterparley

My pleasure!

this is very cute

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!

It was fun. I'll have to do some more!

Do you have a picture of one with strap and how do you put on a strap? Can it be a shoulder bag?

I love this however it would be great to have a YouTube video showing the process (I followed the directions to a point then lost it).
This bag is so cute!

I don't do YouTube. I only put thinks here. Sorry. If you let me know where you got lost, I can try to help you!

My 2 daughters are coming next week with GDs & this looks like a fun project to do with all of them. Thanks for such a clear tute. :thumbup:

Great tute. Thanks.

I love it! They are very cute. I'm going to make these for family and friends and also for our guild's boutique. Thanks so much for your time in teaching us. You did a perfect job.

Love to hear that your Guild can use them. Using it for ours too!

THANK YOU! That is neat. Can't wait to try it.

PS not only is it a great idea, the tut is a very good explanation of what could be a very confusing process.

Very cute will have to try this soon. Great gifts. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Thank you!

Hey I'm quoting myself!
I made Grandma's bag. Instead of sewing together 2 squares I used one large cloth napkin. I had picked up a package of 2 for $2 in the clearance at WalMart. Worked great. They were 19" square so just slightly larger than what np3 called for. I used some cording I had for the drawstring and sewed snaps and buttons on the pocket flaps. I think grandma will approve.
As I was finishing this up I remember years ago making a bag similar to this out of much larger square of fabric! I still have it and use it now and then. It is a lot like a messenger bag.
Thanks again np3!
