Love this bag. I missed the live today as I was taking my granddaughters swimming. So it was nice to watch this & the table decoration on catch up. Thank you ❤️

Brilliant cute bag. Thank you Debbie. It’s ideal for taking my bits to customers houses to put my tape measure, pins and notebook in. Loved it.

I love this tutorial. I’ve just ordered the fabric you are using here from your website. I chose a few different colour ways you have. So beautiful 🌸

Hello Debbie....I just subscribed to your channel and I just bought your satchels book. I have never made any sort of bag. I am excited to get it in the mail and give it a try.
