Anyone else relate to this? 🫣
You know how it goes: I sit down to tweak my pattern ever so slightly, just a tiny adjustment, nothing major.
But then... I realise, "Oh, what if I change this bit too?"
And then, "This would look amazing if I add a pocket here!"
Next, "Wait, what if I changed the shape entirely?"
Before I know it, I've gone from a simple adjustment to drafting three entirely new patterns! One for the new and improved bag, one for an experimental design I just had to try, and another because inspiration struck and I couldn't resist. 💡
It’s like a pattern-drafting marathon with no finish line in sight!
So, if you ever wonder why it takes me so long to release new patterns, now you know. 😅
It’s not just perfectionism; it’s the endless cascade of ideas that come pouring out once I get started.
Anyone else relate to this? Or am I the only one who can’t resist going down the rabbit hole of endless adjustments? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Here’s my favourite hack: Stop one stitch before you get to the corner, pivot and stitch a couple of stitches diagonally, pivot again and carry on stitching as normal. Then, trim the seam allowance close to the stitching line to reduce the bulk. Turn the project right side out and push out the corners with a chopstick or a corner shaper. Yes, it is THAT simple! Try it out and let me know how it...

I use this but find it frustrating. Your preparation advice including doing the interfacing first and the bigger spatula will be a game changer. I was using an old credit card/pass for application and then interfacing afterwards which was challenging.
Yeah I learned very quickly why interfacing first is the better way 🫣 Let me know how it goes next time you try it!
Thanks for the great info I have wondered about using this and now I feel I can tackle it 😂
I'm sure you can! ☺️
Great bag perfect for all you need!! Where can i get the pattern? Ty❤
Inside my membership I show you how to create your own pattern 😉
@@allsewpetite how do you do the membership?

That turned out so adorable. Love the pink
Thank you 😊 Are you planning to make it?
@@allsewpetite yes I am. I have not deciding on the right fabric. Love what you did
Thank you! Let me know how it turned out for you ☺️
Yeah, I feel like I wasted money.
Sorry to hear that 😔
Excellent. Thank you so much.
Thank you 😊
Very clear, wonderful video, thanks for taking the time to make
You are very welcome 😁
Já consegui pegar o molde agradeço brigadinho
That's great 😃

What does block mean ?
Block or sloper is a basic pattern, usually without the seam allowance.
Hi, Thank You for your video but where can we print out the PDF pattern pieces for the straps please ? and can you please advise for imperial measurements
These straps are from the McFly backpack pattern. Both measurements are included ☺️
@@allsewpetite thank you
Felt like I was sewing it 😅. Your's turned out nicely 🎉.
Thank you! 😊

Thank you for such a great video; answered eactly what I was looking for!
That's great to hear 😊
Good video, but I feel like I am watching Part 2 and missing a Part 1 of the "How to add a lining zipper pocket to *any* project". You simply say "Take the piece with the zipper placement marking". However, you didn't show us how to calculate the dimensions of that box needed for the zipper opening according to whatever zipper length/size we have. Do I want the box to be the same size of the zipper or larger.. but by how much larger? I came here wanting to add a zipper pocket to a bag that does not have any pockets. And I haven't a clue as to how large do I want that zipper placement marking (the box) to be for the zipper I have. I was going to fold over the pocket instead of using 2 pieces though.
The box needs to be the same width as the pocket opening - the visible part of the zipper, which will be different for different projects. The pocket bag needs to be wider than the opening by about 2-3cm, so you can stitch it on both sides. You can mark it about 1-2 cm down from the top edge of your pocket bag.
@@allsewpetite thank you so much for the clear and speedy message. I followed another video that said the box (not the bag) needed to be 1inch wider on each side of my zipper teeth and it was way too large. Thankfully I had another zipper to use. I've never made one before so I didn't know how to figure out the dimensions. :)
I would like to know how to download your drawstring backpack. It is adorable!!! ❤
Thank you! You can find the link to my website in the description 😉
This is perfect and easy to follow. Just what I needed. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
I reduced the pattern 90%, but kept some things 100%. Question is, do I keep the zipper tabs 100% or do I include those particular pattern pieces reduced to 90%? Gussets and front back are reduced 90%. Thanx
It's really up to you. You can make them narrower if you want to keep the balance.
@allsewpetite So cute! Do you happen to have a video for sewing a round tablecloth with a border made out of different fabric? Example 24 inch tabletop with 6-inch drop all of the same fabric, then adding 3-inch border of different fabric. Your coasters are perfect!
No I don't, but i can add that to my list for a future video 😉
@@allsewpetite That would be great! I hope I get the notice when you do. Happy sewing!
This is it, this is the tutorial that clicked for me!! Thank you!!
Oh really?! That's awesome 😊
this is great, thank you!!!
That's lovely to hear 😊
Do you use a #3 or #5 zipper
I use #5 zippers 😉
Thank you so much. I was hoping that was the case as I have some beautiful fabric and I ordered #5 zippers to match before I came across the Molly zipper pouch. I’m going to try it out as soon as my Kimberbell tape arrives next week. I’d like to make it today but I don’t have the tape ☹️
This has helped me so much. Thank you for this tutorial.
My pleasure! What are you making?
I'm binding the neckline of a chemise right now, and you have NO IDEA how helpful this was. I was about to toss the whole project and start over with a different neckline shape!
That's awesome! So happy I could help! I'm sure it will turn out beautiful 😊
love it
Thank you 😊
So true! I have made such a habit of this that I printed out labels on sticker paper so I always have the same info in the same order (things like pattern piece, date of drafting, number to cut, etc.)
Such a great idea! Are you using a regular printer to do that?
Bravo!!! Now explain the same process with a round cup coaster, please!!
You can use it on any project. When sewing round coasters just make sure not to stretch the binding so it lays nice and flat.
I did a lot of them and rarely get it so perfect like you did here in the Video! Believe me: As a Beginner, this is a challenge.
Thank you! You get better with practice ☺️
Very nice tutorial, thank you
Thank you ❤️
Can i see finished product?
I don't have it anymore, but I'm making another bag soon, so will post it when it's finished ☺️
This is not a free pattern ive just purchased it and you have to pay in English pounds what a con so basically its cost me almost 10 Australian dollars disgusting
Just to clarify, the pattern is actually free to download. However, if you'd like to support my work and show your appreciation, you can choose to donate - which is exactly what you have done, so thank you.
Save this for later so you can follow along with the tutorial when you’re ready to sew 😉
Hi lovelyPattern! Is this pattern big enough for a man’s large hand? I want to make it for a Father’s Day gift :) Thanks for your help!
It's on a smaller side, so I would enlarge it. Try printing it at a larger scale.
Very clear and precise video. This is the best I have seen. Thank you so much! ❤
Glad it was helpful! 😊
great video

Thanks for the tutorial. May I ask, how thick is your vinyl? 😊
This faux leather is drapy so it was on a thinner side.

Has anyone used Soft and Stable, OR Thermalon 971F for the front and back pattern pieces for bag extra support?
I enjoyed your tutorial. Do I need to change any settings on the machine after I add the walking foot?
Not really. I only change the length of my stitch for quilting. You may want to test your tensions on a small piece of fabric first.
The video was great; until the end. Sure would have loved to see the finished result...
Sorry 😔
I am getting ready to cut out the pattern, reducing the bag body and gussets 90%. On one pattern piece reduced to 90% is Gusset (E). It says on the 100% version to extend to 21& 5/8". Reducing to 90% is about 19&1/2". Is that correct? I wanted to confirm before cutting it out. Thankyou.
Yes, that's about right 😊
Thank you! Such a great tutorial ❤
Thanks ☺️ I'm so happy you found it helpful.
Very cute coasters! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 😊 Are you planning to make some?
I dont understand whats happening here 😭 is there a longer video.?
Sorry 😞
It's the hand basting they do before machine sewing. It pulls the dart together. After machine sewing, they pull the basting thread out.
