you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Ignacio Sergio thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
After watching the trouble with the back pocket zipper facing I just wanted to share a trick I use (and have yet to see anyone else do, surprisingly) when doing stubborn pieces like that. Instead of using cotton I'll use a piece of wovenfuse (or SF101, etc) with the zipper box carefully drawn on the glue side - sew with the glue side UP so that when it's flipped to the inside the glue is now face down. When the panel is pressed open and into shape for ironing it glues into place and won't shift around. For any quilters who use something like pellon's Wonder-Under it makes a decent homemade alternative to using up wovenfuse (etc). Well, hope you find this useful in any future projects where such pocket panels won't stay put.
I agree. I’ve also been doing these welt zippers. What I do is cut the whole entire piece as one pocket that folds in half it makes it so much easier instead of adding it to the small strip of zipper. Then you sew the zipper on and fold the pocket up and sew around! Much much easier🥰
Just finished making this bag along with you!! Made it for my son who is going to start preschool in the fall. Your make-a-long was indispensible, thank you so so much!!!!
I’m a visual learner and I get stuck in following instructions in some patterns. I wanted to thank you Jessica for such clear and easy to follow instructions! Your tutorials are always so easy to follow and encourages me to start a project! I’m a huge fan of your channel I always look forward for a new one!! I sincerely appreciate everything you do I think I would have never created all the items I made from your channel also you always make the process so fun! Thank you so much again Jessica you’re the best!! 💝
You’ve just inspired me to buy yet another Kandou pattern. I’ll be making this for my 5 year old Granddaughter who saw the larger backpack I made and instantly wanted one for herself “but not in birdies Gran, I’d like unicorns please” .. now to source some unicorn canvas. Thanks for such amazing ideas and for your detailed explanation on making these bags. I’d be so lost without your visual representation x
I saw this pattern in their Etsy shop after seeing you make another one of their patterns, and I SO hoped you’d make this one, too!! Thank you, Jess!! ❤️
Hi Jess. Thank you so much for everything you do. You just give joy in all your videos, you are an amazing person. I never felt so much admiration for a person. I admit our common passion for making bags draw me to you but it was your joy and vulnerability-being so honest and true- that made me become a true fan. If I lived in America I would have loved to work for you :) But who knows maybe one day we can collaborate even from UK to US :)
This video was so extremely helpful. I bought the pattern and was so confused with how some of it was worded and wished there was a video to follow and was elated that you made one. I’m a visual person and can follow videos in easier than reading patterns. This was exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much.
I just finished making two of this backpack; one for the granddaughter (Minnie Mouse) and one for the grandson (Hot Wheels). I used cotton, but I took every piece and quilted each one, which made the backpacks very sturdy. Thank you for the tutorial. It helped me when I got stumped with the written pattern. Also, since I quilt, I always have extra binding in my stash. I used the binding and attached it as written in the pattern.
I’ve been waiting all day for this! Hubs is printing the pattern for me at work tomorrow, I picked out the fabric when I saw it on your Instagram! It’s gonna be a gift for my wee nephew 💕🥰 I CANT WAIT!
I'm loving this tutorial. FYI- to get your pattern pieces to not cut off at the edges, instead of printing from a PDF, download the file first then open it from the download. That helped me, hopefully it will solve your problem:) I love your tutorials!
Hi!! I just find your channel and I'm obsessed with your bags you are a master with a sewing machine, l am very beginner but you explain really good so l can learn so much with you, thank you for sharing your talent with us🤗
Would you consider one day on doing a tutorial on how to cut out a pattern from printed pieces on fabric. Your pieces look perfect. When I try pinning a piece of pattern and cutting around it it looks like a wonky mess. Surely I'm missing something lol. And if I have to cut multiple pieces they all vary at then and and don't match, whick in turn makes sewing a biatch.
I am so excited!!! I have been waiting for a small backpack tutorial like this. I am a beginner and you have spoiled me with your wonderful tutorials!! 😍😍
So with the straps, I broke my machine with the thickness of the layers where the cotton webbing meets the backpack strap/fusible fleece (I made my own webbing substitute with canvas), I ended up using a rivet to keep the strap/stitching edges together, mostly because I’m on a deadline for my daughters birthday (this Wed). Love your channel!
looks so cute! i gotta wait till payday before i can do any more patterns but i wanna try this one! Jess check your printer settings see if you accidently have portrait clicked in your orientation it should be in the page settings soon as you hit print I accidently had my portrait checked too and it would cut off like yours once i put that to auto it quit and printed correctly just a suggestion
Hey Jess! Fantastic video! With regards to your printing issues, sounds like your printer was set on 'portrait' instead of 'auto' in the Format section of the Print Dialogue Box. That's why it's offset to the left. It should also be set at 'actual size. Then it all prints out fine! Thank you for a fantastic tutorial.
I absolutely love this! Thank you, so much, for yet another fantastic tutorial! I also appreciate how you showed your mistakes with fixes as that serves as guidance for us, as well.
This is the pattern my daughter picked out, she wants leather. I have a machine that can do that, but I am going to make a canvas one first and work out the kinks.
If I can't get my hands on waterproof canvas, would duck fabric work similarly? I like the idea of not having to interface my fabric, but I usually purchase my fabrics from local small businesses and our store doesn't carry it! Thank you in advance!
Heey miss Oaklaroots. I love watching your videos about bag making 😃😃. Especially the Disney ones are my favourite. I’m going next year to Disney World for the first time and I want to make my own bag instead of buying a Loungefly backpack (pretty expensive). Is this pattern easy for a beginner? And what is the best place to buy Disney fabric, zippers, tags, etc?
I have a question. I’m from Ontario Canada and wondered where people in my area are buying their waterproof canvas, and other sewing supplies. Hope someone can help. Thank you Jess for your videos! I’m so grateful to have these very detailed instructions.
I would like to see a tutorial Willie double zipper body bag from iThinkSew. Especially interested in another way to do lining instead of finishing it wit bias tape.
I love your tutorial and just finishing a bunch of Christmas presents made from your tutorials!! And they were big hits! I am making this one for my 5 year old grandson. My question is, I like how you used the waterproof canvas, I plan to do that. In the one you did for the video you used fusible fleece on the main panels instead of foam you said. Is that your preference...since using the waterproof canvas for the lining? Thanks in advance going to be sewing this in a couple weeks! ❤❤❤
When taping your pattern together, my printer also includes the bordes, so I have to line up the lines and partial letters, otherwise mine comes out too wide.
Hi Jess. I live in Australia and was wondering how much would it cost to get this pattern out to me. I love you tutorials and I need to be shown how to do these products which you are so good at teaching Or how else can I get it without to bigger cost thanks Jen 💕💕🇦🇺🇦🇺🌻🌻
When it comes to straps/handles I find with time my straps and handles come loose. Rivers alone aren’t enough. Not sure what I’m doing wrong? I am thinking bulking up with interfacing to reinforce sewn attachments for handles.
Is there a way to make it so that the zipper is towards the front of the bag and all the way down on both sides so that front will open all the way down? I've never made a bag, haven't even attempted this yet. I've only ever made your pattern for the mini boxy bag. But my friend is looking for one. And I'm always up for a challenge.
Thank you, love it so much. Going to by this pattern asap. You are a one of a kind teacher, please don't ever change. I always look forward to your tutorials. Question: when you are binding the bag do you cover the previous stitches? Sorry if I'm confusing you
Thank you Sonia! I make sure the binding covers the stitches, but I don't really worry about my binding stitches covering the stitches. I don't want to increase the seam.
I’m new to bag making and using Waterproof canvas. I pressed the canvas flap, as in the video, but I ruined my fabric. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
If I have a domestic sewing machine, will I be okay in making this pattern? or do I need a beefier machine? Might be an excuse to by a new sewing machine! :)
Hoping someone who uses waterproof canvas a lot can answer this ASAP. Is 420 Denier Nyon Packcloth the same as waterproof canvas? Is waterproof canvas 100% polyester or does it have any cotton in it? Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have brought the pattern and cant wait to make it now. Please can I ask where you get your custom bag labels and your custom wallet leather labels please as would love to get my own label custom made please xx
Love to see all your video.. thank you for sharing the idea and knowledge about sewing bag... what kind of sewing machine do you use to sew this kind of bag... ✌?
Hi Jess ! Beginner sewer here ! I’m looking to challenge myself a bit and your tutorial is so well explained I’m feeling confident. Quick question can I make this using my at home sewing machine ? Or how do I find out if I can or can’t? Or do you absolutely need the juki machines ? Thank you in advanced 😁😁
i made a similar bag (i will post a comment with exact specifics of how i made it/what i did when i finish because i didn’t pay for this pattern but made my own) and i used generic 100% cotton for the outside and lining as well as a mid-weight fusible interfacing on the inside of the fancy fabric and a lightweight interfacing on the inside of the lining. i didn’t use a zipper foot or walking foot (though it would have been much easier if i had) and i used a generic singer needle (90) with my singer quantum dsx (a generic machine from i’m guessing the 90s?). i wasn’t paying attention at one point and accidentally sewed over the metal stopper part of a zipper and ended up needing more needles and i went with a denim heavy weight needle for the rest of the bag. in my experience, though, both needles worked. i too was worried my machine wouldn’t be able to handle the layers, but it’s done fine. but then again, i didn’t use waterproof canvas.

Such a cute and beautiful bag. Making two for my twin grand daughters 5th bday.
Yes! I was hoping you’d make a mini back pack, your videos are so easy to follow!

Very cute! I see that white flap over the front pocket as an embroidery opportunity. So so cute. ✨
Love the various fabrics. Especially the mesh slip pocket method lined with water proof fabric.
Thank you for the tutorial. I bought the pattern the other day and made this backpack today. You made making this so easy. I love it!
Awww yay! How do you like it??
@@OklaRoots I love it. It is so cute and such a great size.
I brought the pattern and can't wait to pick out my fabric. Thanks for the great video.

Yes! I have a plan to do a tutorial going over just that.
As I was cutting this pattern, I was thinking, how to get the most out of the fabric / interfacing going with the proper grain of the fabric.
thank you so very much for this tutorial. fantastic would not be enough said about this pattern. I bought it as soon as I finished your tutorial.
I’d love to try to add a water bottle pocket on the side. Thank you fir the code! This is going to be the perfect gift to make for my step daughter.
I was thinking the same thing. I think a mesh like the inside pocket.
Yes! I also love the idea of using mesh like Alice said. That would work really nicely.
Great backpack, have just purchased it, you brighten up my Mondays, you are always full of life and joy xx
I love the owls. Lovely bag.
I am so excited!!! I have been waiting for a small backpack tutorial like this. I am a beginner and you have spoiled me with your wonderful tutorials!! 😍😍

Hi Jess I love this bag it’s so cute, I’m making this for my granddaughter. I’ll post it when I am done.

Hope you enjoy it!
Can't wait to make this backpack!
It's a big time favorite of mine
This is the pattern my daughter picked out, she wants leather. I have a machine that can do that, but I am going to make a canvas one first and work out the kinks.
Oooooo I bet that will be beautiful Michelle!
I like the owl fabric!
Isn't it fun? I should have purchased more.

Try Amazon.
I would like to see a tutorial Willie double zipper body bag from iThinkSew. Especially interested in another way to do lining instead of finishing it wit bias tape.
Will this work in vinyl rather than waterproof canvas and woven?
Question, if made with quilt cotton and wpc, can this be washed? Thinking of making for the grands, but they are young and stuff happens lol.
Ojos you maybe please do the Oro Rosa Magnolia bag?
Love it!
Thank you! I just finished this bag, Id share photos but don’t know where to post them
Such a cute backpack! Thank you so much for this! I already bought the pattern, but have to get new ink cartridges for my printer! Lol😂❤👍
Haha have fun making it!
@@OklaRoots thanks, I'll try. But in all seriousness, it looks like fun and the bag is so stinkin' cute!

Could i use decoliv light instead of waterproof canvance
Hi Jess. I live in Australia and was wondering how much would it cost to get this pattern out to me. I love you tutorials and I need to be shown how to do these products which you are so good at teaching
Or how else can I get it without to bigger cost thanks Jen 💕💕🇦🇺🇦🇺🌻🌻
When it comes to straps/handles I find with time my straps and handles come loose. Rivers alone aren’t enough. Not sure what I’m doing wrong? I am thinking bulking up with interfacing to reinforce sewn attachments for handles.
You should try to make the pocket that you did for the lunchbox

Thank you, thank you. That answers what I really wanted to know. I appreciate that you understood even though I wasn't clear 😙💖
I’d love to add side mesh pockets to this pattern. I think it would be perfect for my toddler. Would this work?
What sewing machine do you use for you bag projects
This tutorial helps so much! I'm going to attempt to make a backpack purse for my daughter. Their instructions and me are missing the mark.
Would this be good for a first grader or should I do a larger one?
I’m new to bag making and using Waterproof canvas. I pressed the canvas flap, as in the video, but I ruined my fabric. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Love it
I have that iron. Love it. Isnt it the best iron.
It's a really great one!
Hey Jess, thanks for another great tutorial. What is “quill cotton”? Also, who does the music you use with the whistling in it? It’s a nice touch.
Jess do you think webbing (like seatbelt) would work in the straps?
Hi, love this bag. Do you have a new coupon code? Thanks.
If I have a domestic sewing machine, will I be okay in making this pattern? or do I need a beefier machine? Might be an excuse to by a new sewing machine! :)
i love your contents watching from PH
Thank you for being here!
Hoping someone who uses waterproof canvas a lot can answer this ASAP. Is 420 Denier Nyon Packcloth the same as waterproof canvas? Is waterproof canvas 100% polyester or does it have any cotton in it? Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have brought the pattern and cant wait to make it now. Please can I ask where you get your custom bag labels and your custom wallet leather labels please as would love to get my own label custom made please xx
Yay! I hope you love making it! My label info can be found here: www.patreon.com/posts/42193887
Would this be small enough for a 2 year old?
I've been looking at this pattern for months. still have to get the courage to buy it and make it. Were you ironing the waterproof canvas?
Would this pattern work using seatbelt webbing for the straps?
hi Jess, I was wondering if I could use faux leather to make this backpack?
I want to know what to do to download the pattern
love your video where did you buy your rivit press
Love to see all your video.. thank you for sharing the idea and knowledge about sewing bag... what kind of sewing machine do you use to sew this kind of bag... ✌?
Thanks! I made this on my Bernina 770
Hi Jess ! Beginner sewer here ! I’m looking to challenge myself a bit and your tutorial is so well explained I’m feeling confident. Quick question can I make this using my at home sewing machine ? Or how do I find out if I can or can’t? Or do you absolutely need the juki machines ? Thank you in advanced 😁😁
i made a similar bag (i will post a comment with exact specifics of how i made it/what i did when i finish because i didn’t pay for this pattern but made my own) and i used generic 100% cotton for the outside and lining as well as a mid-weight fusible interfacing on the inside of the fancy fabric and a lightweight interfacing on the inside of the lining. i didn’t use a zipper foot or walking foot (though it would have been much easier if i had) and i used a generic singer needle (90) with my singer quantum dsx (a generic machine from i’m guessing the 90s?). i wasn’t paying attention at one point and accidentally sewed over the metal stopper part of a zipper and ended up needing more needles and i went with a denim heavy weight needle for the rest of the bag. in my experience, though, both needles worked. i too was worried my machine wouldn’t be able to handle the layers, but it’s done fine. but then again, i didn’t use waterproof canvas.
do you think this bag would fit a 10" tablet, making it for my nephew
You are sooooo.... My son would love you...
Where do i get the pattern for the back pack?
Would this pattern be ok for an 8 year girl?
Jess, do you think it would be especially challenging to use cork for the bottom gusset, front pocket flap and top handle?
No I think you would be fine with those pieces. Let me know if you try it!
Backpack came out great using the cork! I should have put some decovil light on the top gusset pieces to stabilize it more but it's cute nonetheless
Where do you buy a waterproof canvas? What thickness?
What kind of sewing machine did you use for this project?
What is the finished size of this bag? Love it.
Hello! What kind of fabric did you say at 6:13? Meed fabric?
