I watched the video on Friday, 8th march 24, so I had a go at making the bag, turned out alright. So I had another go on Saturday 9th march, to make sure it was not a fluke. Worked out good, again. So chuffed with myself. So a big thank you from a newbie who has only been machine sewing since may 23.
Again thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial. I sized the dimensions down a teense and just finished an adorable little book bag for my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter. It went together perfectly. Your instructions are thorough and well-explained.

I have looked at all kinds of YouTube tutorials on how to box corners and have a hard time doing it. I tried your way and it works just fine. It takes me about 1 minute for all 4 instead of 10 minutes.Very easy your way. Thank you for your great directions on all I have seen of yours.

I just made this tote bag out of some lovely grey vinyl and machine embroidered a rose with celtic knot leaves on it. Also added in pockets. I'm so excited to carry my knitting and wallet and glasses in this cute bag. Thank you, Christine!

I like the bag with the threads on it. 😊

SO easy to follow. I can also see how to enlarge if I like. Especially like the tips for costs and pricing at the end.
