Two pieces of fabric each measuring 14” x 8.5” [36cm x 21.5cm] top fabric

Measure 2” [5cm] from the corners to box the base

Measure 1.5” [4cm] from the corners to make square

You’re my hero this year! I’m making your crossbody bag (the one with the cute doggy fabric) and putting it under the tree in this sweet gift bag.

Thank you for being so generous.

I like the trick of ironing the shape to the fusible, then cutting out. Always taught to cut everything out then ironing or sewing interfacing to project. Love your video's 😊

I am over the moon finding your tutorials!! I can’t thank you enough, you explain everything so clearly, and so easy to understand!! I have all the ingredients for the Roman blinds, I can’t wait to start, and make more of your projects!🤗

I’m Australian, and I just love your voice. I wish you’d do an audio book! Today I made your twisted infinity scarf. You’re right it was so easy.

Hello Debbie, thank you for another tutorial.

I wonder if you've ever considered doing a tutorial about all different types of stabilisers etc.

The choice is quite bewildering and it would be great to see each product displayed and the differences highlighted. A bit like a show and tell.

Thanks again for all your generous content.

This would be so good to use up scraps and offcuts to make a patchwork fabric. Another brilliant idea. Thank you so much for your time and effort ❤

[nicolaking]

Love these Debbie - I'm a knitter/crocheter, and I would actually use these as project bags too for my various (and numerous!) WIPS. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Tweedy]

Great bags and easy tutorial to follow. Thankyou Debbie

[gaynormainwaring]

Great little bag - I’ve bought a book for my closest friend, so now I’ll make a bag to put it in.

[constancepeterson]

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[julieagar]

These pouches are great for packing things in to your suitcase ❤
