Now I'm so glad I saved that french curve even though I had no idea what to use it for! Excellent useful info (drafting skills!) and hints for success - the best of TH-cam.
It’s now 2023 thanks for making this video, a great help. Like your idea to hide the slit, I can’t hand sew neatly at all. Still can’t get the double corners right at the hinge it’s either too tight or with extra ventilation. Still you have helped me beat some problems thank you. ( ref the (rude) comment from Shelly ….. I couldn’t find any video from her at all let alone any that are better / more informative) you say you are relatively new to the video tutorials, that may be so but you have the right ideas but it is very hard to make good content and video and edit all the footage. Keep it up thanks for sharing your knowledge..
@@MrsGsSewingSpace Hi, the second attempt is better, I made a mistake when drawing the shape below the clasp. It is usable, it just looks a little odd . I will keep trying.
Thanks for such a detailed tutorial. After watching a number of videos for a clasp purse found yours very well explained. I recently retired and I'm just learning to sew. Thanks again.
Thank you for this tutorial. Your video has been the most understandable that I have found. Thanks for taking to time to put this out. I can't tell you the number of times I've tried to find kiss lock instructions that was easy to to follow.
I'm a "not so good at making clothes" type. I skipped by many videos on this before landing on yours. It is easier to learn from someone who shows you where the pitfalls are. Thanks - looking forward to more videos from you
Very good video. Could you explain the "seam start and stop at the same place". Maybe I missed why that is done. Is the bottom seam done first then the top seam? Why?
I am sorry that it took me so long to answer your question. Yes, You need to start and stop at the same place when sewing because of the pocket flaps. If you don't there will be a hole right there where the flaps begin. That is also where the hinges of the frame will be so you want to make sure all your seams are closed up.
Hello. Good afternoon. My name is Tânia i'm portuguese and I do some creative sewing stuff. I was browsing TH-cam and found your video. Very well explained, congratulations. I have some problems creating templates. I make pen cases with these clasps but the 8.5cm squares. I have so many round ones and I would like to know how I could make the mold to use these zippers. if you can help me i would be very grateful. I can show the cases I make to see what I wanted. Thank you so much
I would love to see what you are talking about so I can help you. You can send me a message on Facebook. My link to Facebook is located in the description box.
I sure wish you'd included making a pattern for the square frame. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make sure I've got a 'dimple' at the hinge. Do I do it just like the rounded frame by angling the frame on the center pivot point? And how far should it go? I hope you understand what I mean. Thanks!
Yes. You can create the pattern just like the rounded frame. I believe I said 1 centimeter. So I would stick with that. But these directions are a guide to help you if you wanted to do something different. If you want more than 1 centimeter then do so. Or less if that floats your boat. But the look will change with your changes so play around.
It is a type of contact glue. I can't remember the name of it currently and I am out of it. But I find it at Home Depot in the USA. I have also used that glue to make costumes for my kids when using foam, PVA foam I think it is.
What numbers? If you are talking about the measurements, they are up to you. How big or long you want your bag to be. On the first bag I gave measurements. The second I showed you how to do but you provide your own length, whatever that might be.
Me g please tell me do it take practice to learn how to draft Lord I want to learn this so bad I would like to make bags with matching material covered shoes thank you☺️
Yes. It does take practice. So draw out your pattern and then use fabric that you don't like to make that first bag. If you are happy with how it turns out then you can use that pattern to create a bag with fabric you like.
Seriously loose the music! It’s a nightmare and why make the flip slit at the top? Just leave the lining open at the bottom and sew last. Sooo much easier. Plus if you are going to film make sure your hand are on view! Apart from that, brilliant.
I am sorry you don't like the music. I am still learning on what makes good videos. I do have the flip slit (I like how you named that) on the top because I don't like sewing the slit closed by hand or machine. I don't want it obvious where I flipped it at.

Glad it was helpful! The french curve is very helpful when drafting patterns. Curves are crazy and need help to be perfect.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that you thought about this so much. I will do my best to keep up the good work.
Very pretty. My first attempt was a shambles, that was following a another ladies tutorial. I shall now try following yours.
You can do it! I would like to know how it turns out.
@@MrsGsSewingSpace Hi, the second attempt is better, I made a mistake when drawing the shape below the clasp. It is usable, it just looks a little odd . I will keep trying.
That's what I look for!!Explained in details. Thanks from Istanbul😘
You are welcome!

I am glad that you found this helpful.
@@MrsGsSewingSpace 💯 Absolutely
I enjoyed this tutorial, thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! This was probably the most straight forward and easy to follow tutorial I've watched on these clasp purses.
Thank you. I am glad that you found this video helpful.
I love the tutor information. Thank you so much. I will try it!
You are so welcome!
You’re like an engineer you did a great job thank you
Wow, thanks! I never thought I would be compared to an engineer. Thank you!

Thank you! I am glad that you found my videos helpful. I do my best to show it all and not just the best I can do.
Good work !, thanks a lot👍👍👍🙏
Thank you!
Thank you so much I had frames and did not know how to make the patterns and sew them!! Great video 😊
You are welcome.
Thank you! Ah, the many uses of the chopstick…xxx
You are welcome! I love having a ton of chopsticks in my room. They are so useful!
Thank you .... I am going to draft it in 1 piece and just sew the sides as i am doing a needle felted purse. Have a good day and stay safe. 💜
Thank you for watching my channel. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Thank you this helped me a lot! I use 527 Multi-Use Glue for gluing the purse frame, but I prefer hand stitching the purse frame to the purse too!
I am glad that you enjoyed the video. Hand stitching is just so much better.
tyvm love your videos wow i have missed a lot tyvm
Thank you for watching. I am glad that you like my videos.
Thank you 💖

Thank you. I'm already following your facebook page but I can't send a message
Let me look into that. I am interested in your problem.
I sure wish you'd included making a pattern for the square frame. I'm having trouble figuring out how to make sure I've got a 'dimple' at the hinge.

Love these what glue do you use
It is a type of contact glue. I can't remember the name of it currently and I am out of it. But I find it at Home Depot in the USA. I have also used that glue to make costumes for my kids when using foam, PVA foam I think it is.
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!
I have a question, why do you added only 1 cm from the hinge to outside, can I add more?
I added 1 cm because I didn't want that deep of a hinge. Play around with it. Sometimes adding more looks worse, but it depends on the design.
Is it not necessary to sew around the hinges?
Not when you are putting the sewn bag into the frame. It needs the looseness to allow the bag to open and shut.
Thanks
You're welcome.
did you use jute string? or what did you sew on to attach inside to the frame? didn't see a link to that. thank you!
Yes. It was what was provided with the clasp. It was some sort of jute or hemp type string.
- This would have been a helpful DIY if you shared the numbers you used to make the pattern. End products look nice.
What numbers? If you are talking about the measurements, they are up to you. How big or long you want your bag to be. On the first bag I gave measurements. The second I showed you how to do but you provide your own length, whatever that might be.
Me g please tell me do it take practice to learn how to draft Lord I want to learn this so bad I would like to make bags with matching material covered shoes thank you☺️
Yes. It does take practice. So draw out your pattern and then use fabric that you don't like to make that first bag. If you are happy with how it turns out then you can use that pattern to create a bag with fabric you like.
Negative attitude makes me stop and not waste my time.
I am sorry you found the video that way, but thank you for watching.

Way too fast...
