How to Add Handles & Lining to a Tote Bag | Come Sew With Me Quilted Jelly Roll Bag | GCMS 02026 187

Today we’re adding the handles and lining to this beautiful quilted tote bag, and it’s so fun to see everything finally come together. I’m using the Jelly Roll Braid Tote Bag pattern from Fat Quarter Shop, and I walk you through each step slowly, so nothing feels rushed or confusing. This is the part where the tote really starts to look like a finished bag. Last time, I was quilting with monopoly invisible thread on my domestic sewing machine, and yes — that can be frustrating at first. In this video, I share what worked for me and how taking things slow made all the difference. I’m sewing with my trusty straight stitch machine, Ms. Molly, and showing you simple tips so beginners can feel confident. This project turns jelly roll strips into a lovely braided tote that’s perfect for gifts or everyday use. Grab your supplies, warm up your machine, and sew with me — we’re learning together, one stitch at a time. 🧵👜❤️ 🛒 Jelly Roll Braid Tote Downloadable PDF Bag Pattern (Fat Quarter Shop): 👉 https://link.giftshq.com/jelly-roll-braid-tote-bag 🛒 Browse My Amazon Shop: – More of my favorite tools featured in today’s live stream → https://link.giftshq.com/ghqliveamz 🎯 Watch Past Gifted Crafters Morning Shows (GCMS) – Your daily crafting show on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd7cWtYmLr43lokUbddCMFGPsTbRnE7Ky 🛒 My Favorite Tools & Crafting Must-Haves 🧡 Brother ScanNCut SDX230Di → https://amzn.to/4kI47Oc 🧡 Brother SE1900 Sewing & Embroidery → https://amzn.to/3Ok5iTR 🧡 Oliso Pro Plus Iron → https://amzn.to/3Tcrt2m 🧡 Oliso M3Pro Project Iron → https://amzn.to/4n2yLCI 🧡 Embroidery Machines → https://amzn.to/40HOTlk 🧡 Sewing Machines → https://amzn.to/4fxdQEi 🚚 Try Amazon Prime → https://amzn.to/3Oexesp 📣 Be Part Of The Show – We Love Hearing From You 🗣️ Send Feedback & Suggestions → https://giftshq.com/gcms-feedback 🎂 Submit a Birthday or Special Announcement → http://giftshq.com/gcms-shoutouts 💖 Support & Stay Connected ✅ Subscribe Here → https://giftshq.com/sub Ring the bell so you never miss our morning circle. ✨ Become a GiftsHQ Channel Member → https://www.youtube.com/@GiftsHQ/join Enjoy perks, shout-outs & behind-the-scenes. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee → https://buymeacoffee.com/giftshq Every “coffee” keeps fabric, thread & yarn flowing! 🌍 Let’s Stay Connected – Community Is Everything! 📸 Join Our Facebook Group (Post Your Creative Pics) ➙ https://facebook.com/groups/623208828727659 🧵 Instagram ➙ https://instagram.com/giftshq 🌐 Website ➙ https://giftshq.com 📧 Email ➙ giftshq.usa+live@gmail.com  ✉️ Mail ➙ Nancy with GiftsHQ, PO Box 771642, Miami, FL 33177 🛍️ Shop GiftsHQ Merch 👉 Shop Crafters Mugs, Music & More - https://shop.giftshq.com 🎵 Craft to the Beat – Fan-favorite albums to keep your crafting groove going: 💿 Crafting Tunes Vol. 1 & 2: Digital or CD on GiftsHQ - https://shop.giftshq.com Other Online Shops That We Are Affiliated With: 🛍️ Electric Quilt Company → https://link.giftshq.com/EQC 🛍️ Fat Quarter Shop → https://link.giftshq.com/FQS 🛍️ LegitKits → https://link.giftshq.com/legitkits 🛍️ Sulky → https://link.giftshq.com/sulky 🛍️ Connecting Threads → https://link.giftshq.com/cthreads 🛍️ Mood Fabrics → https://link.giftshq.com/mood 🛍️ Keepsake Quilting → https://link.giftshq.com/kquilting 🛍️ Singer Sewing Machines → https://link.giftshq.com/singer 🛍️ Sewing Parts Online → https://link.giftshq.com/sewing-parts-online ⚠️ Note: Some links are affiliate links.
