What a great tutorial. I just started sewing bags and wallets the first of November, but have been watching bag making videos for several years. I have made 21 projects since then in the three months, for Christmas gifts and to donate to various charities. Recently I purchased an industrial machine and what a game changer, but my most relied on and helpful thing is these tutorial videos on TH-cam and this one got me through this pattern with relative ease. My bag turned out great. Feeling proud of myself..Thankyou Jess!!
Hello Jess. I just recently found your channel, and I really want to say thank you for making these. With everyone losing jobs, I’ve been looking for a way to make a little extra income, and a local shop owner said that she would be more than happy to sell some of the items I make. She saw a baby quilt I made for an infant born addicted and she wants me to bring some things in. I’m working on three things so far I saw on your channel!
I thought that this bag was very easy to follow, yes there’s a lot of steps but you broke them down into very manageable parts. Thanks for a great video!
Jess!!!! This is the perfect bag... The one I have been searching for... The one that checks all the boxes (if I add a back pocket for phone and keys.). Thank you for the amazing tutorial. I feel like I need to practice more before attempting this bag, but I am so excited and inspired.
Do not be afraid! If you are really nervous then buy some cheap fabric or something from a thrift store, like a sheet and do a test run. You can do it!
Hi Jess. I love your bag tutorials especially when it’s a bag I want to make. Some time ago I started the Prairie Girl bag and became frustrated and tossed it aside until a later date. Well thanks to you and your tutorial I will be bringing it out again and getting her done. Thanks for all that you do.
Thanks for this tutorial just so I could see how interesting it is. I have passed over this pattern many times thinking there wasn’t much to it, but now I see lots of opportunity. Thank you!
This was so easy to follow. You are The Best Channel for bag and sewing in general! Do you think you can look into making the H2O 2Go sling by Linds Handbag Designs? I watches several other tutorials and they run through them so fast! I think there are others who would like o watch and follow your take on this pattern.
Hi Dena here. U have a beautiful cat. My cats loves to b in sewing room. They love to lay down my fabric. Does ur cat loves to lay down on ur fabric? And love the hand bag. Great job. Love it.
I want to purchase the KAM press and the dies that you have Im lost when looking at all of the accessories can you tell me the ones you use thanks Shary
@@OklaRoots they just want to have some fame too; they said the husband came on, to show his muscle, Murphy wanted to follow hubby and the cat said, I refused to be left out.😆😆😆😆😂😂😂I'm dying!!!!💯
Hi Jess! Thanks for your amazing tutorials. Love them. Just a quick question- is the foot you use when top stitching your regular foot? It seems that it has a really nice clear 1/8” and 1/4” mark on it that I am coveting 🙌🏻💖
Hello Jess.Hello from Victoria BC Canada. Would using decocil light on the main front and back, out of the seam allowance with quilted fabric be the same as using your WPC and wovenfuse?
I was wondering if you could make this bag with the zipper pocket on the back and most important can you show how to make the main bag with only one center pocket. If you cannot, do you know of a pattern with a similar crossbody?
I am so excited about this purse!! What are your thoughts on sewing this up on a domestic? Is it doable? Mine can handle the layers in the Sunshine Wristlet when I use cork or vinyl! So it does pretty good with layers!! :-)
I know this is probably a really unimportant question, but what printer do you have to print out your patterns? I can't find a decent printer so I just thought I'd ask. As always love your tutorials! Can't wait to try so many when "Santa" (aka husband) brings me my machine for Christmas 🎄
I've made this bag twice and both times my gusset has seemed too long. I have to bunch it up too much. It makes the gusset look all wavy when the bag is done. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
Hi. I got the pattern for the bag and I was wondering if pattern piece E and piece D1 should align perfectly? To me piece E bottom curved end is wider. Thank you for your videos.
Jess! Love your page, you have inspired me to take my sewing skills to bag making and I AM IN LOVE!!! I just bout the Juki TL2010 yaaaayy!!!!! Do you a teflon foot for your vinyl? Any tips pleaseee!! Love from AUSTRALIA :)
Yay!!! Congrats on the new machine! I can't wait to hear more about what you make. I do have a teflon foot for my machine, but honestly I don't love it. It doesn't really fit properly. I'm still on the hunt for a better one.
I have to try this. Did you find it easier to make with the faux leather or the waterproof canvas? Also, if using faux leather or vinyl for the exterior, do you think waterproof canvas would work for the lining? Much love -Gen
I find it easier to sew the waterproof canvas, since it's thinner. You could definitely do vinyl exterior and waterproof canvas lining if your machine is up to it. The hard part will be turning out those top strap taps, since both textiles are stiffer. Someone else mentioned heating up the waterproof canvas with a hair dryer first to help.
hey jess, where would i look to make my own metal bag tags with my logo and shape, etc...i keep looking, but not finding. maybe i am not seeking correctly. Please help
I know u might not be looking to but a sewing machine but future reference. I have a domestic sewing machine, the singer stylist 7258 this machine is a little beast. I bought it on Amazon for under $200 bucks. But if you want something stronger instead of paying for a Juki get the Brother pq1500sl It's fantastic on vinyl and faux leather. The cost around $550.00 I make bags and I sew everything on it except real leather. The HD9 heavy duty is for real leather and everything else. All these are domestic

Gorgeous cat alert at 0:38 !!! Love it!! Love the bag too!!
You did an excellent job guiding us through the process. Never even considered sewing something like this. Now it’s on my bucket list. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the amazing instructions! I didn't make this bag but used the methods you showed to design my own.
Hi Jess. I love your bag tutorials especially when it’s a bag I want to make. Some time ago I started the Prairie Girl bag and became frustrated and tossed it aside until a later date. Well thanks to you and your tutorial I will be bringing it out again and getting her done. Thanks for all that you do.
Yay! Keep me updated on how it goes!
So glad you did a video tutorial on this one. I have had this pattern for a long time and haven't made it.
I watched this video and i am itching to make this bag. It looks like the perfect bag for traveling.
You make this look so so so easy. Thank you!
If you are using waterproof fabric/canvas... heat it up w/ the steam from your iron before you turn it right side out, it will make it easier to turn.
Love this idea! I'll give it a try. Thank you!
I use a hairdryer to heat mine for turning.
Great tip, very generous. Thank you.
Ok took me hours to do bit by bit glad i completed it.. And i know i could not have done it without your tutorial... Thank you so much for your help
I've made this for a friend and your video has really helped. Thank you.
Thanks for this tutorial just so I could see how interesting it is. I have passed over this pattern many times thinking there wasn’t much to it, but now I see lots of opportunity. Thank you!
I'm glad to hear that Karen! It really is a beautiful bag.
Very nice bag! The rivets really give it a finished look.
Love the front ‘mommy pocket’. So organised 😊
Finished my bag 1:21:40 ❤🎉
Wow, great bag, that front zip pocket is like a bag in a bag, lol, very clever!
Isn't it crazy? That one pocket has so much going on!
I am in love with this pattern

I've gotta make this bag!!!
2nd Cat alert!! 7:17 Well hello Boots, good to see you are supervising Jess using all those sharp, pointy, stabby tools!!
Thanks. very helpful.
You're welcome!
Thank you for making this bag do able for me! Love it 😀
Love your tutorials so clear and detailed. Thank you
Vert nicely done. Loved seeing Boots wanting to help!
Haha he really wanted some attention during filming.
What a great tutorial! I love that bag! I can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
I love the bag but it seems like so much work 😫 I appreciate your time and effort. I might make it time. Thank you so much 💓
Haha it definitely is a lot of work! But it sure is pretty.
OMG!! How cute is that?!!!! Excellent job, I love love love your videos!
Thank you so much!
Hi Dena here. U have a beautiful cat. My cats loves to b in sewing room. They love to lay down my fabric. Does ur cat loves to lay down on ur fabric? And love the hand bag. Great job. Love it.
Hi Dena! Yes, Boots loves to "supervise" me in the sewing room. He knows the fabric is off limits, though.
Omg what a cute bag! I love Love LOVE the fabric you chose. Amazing job!
Thank you so much!
I’m super excited about this one!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Too bad we can't attach photos in the comments or I'd show you the bag I made as I watched!
I want to purchase the KAM press and the dies that you have Im lost when looking at all of the accessories can you tell me the ones you use thanks Shary
Like to see that using adult fabric!
I need to Emmaline bag gorgeous😊😊
The cat is like; shoot if Murphy can show his butt on camera, why can I show my whole beautiful body too. 💯📷🎥😆😂
RIGHT?! What is going on in my house?? The pets are taking over everything!

You got this!

woah love it but i think this may be over my head just now. it's a gorgeous bag tho
It is definitely a challenge. When I was testing it out I wasn't sure this would be a bag I could show. But the first one was the hardest.
I know this is probably a really unimportant question, but what printer do you have to print out your patterns? I can't find a decent printer so I just thought I'd ask. As always love your tutorials! Can't wait to try so many when "Santa" (aka husband) brings me my machine for Christmas 🎄
Love this bag but very challenging for me. I have a domestic sewing machine and not sure it can sew through all the thickness.
If you use standard quilt cotton fabric the thickness shouldn't be a problem, it's just those curves that sneak up on you.
You need a pair of hemostats to turn the handles easier!
I've never heard of those!! Googling now, thank you!
I've made this bag twice and both times my gusset has seemed too long. I have to bunch it up too much. It makes the gusset look all wavy when the bag is done. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Love this. Definitely thinking of getting it. I checked the website and I’m curious, is this a pdf pattern or a paper pattern they ship you?
Hi, how do you stick the fusible fleece to the water proof canvas?
Hi jess!!! Can you do an ita bag?
I have to try this. Did you find it easier to make with the faux leather or the waterproof canvas? Also, if using faux leather or vinyl for the exterior, do you think waterproof canvas would work for the lining? Much love -Gen
I find it easier to sew the waterproof canvas, since it's thinner. You could definitely do vinyl exterior and waterproof canvas lining if your machine is up to it.

@@OklaRoots Thank you very much for the quick reply. You are awesome and I will definitely tag you on IG when I finish one!
hey jess, where would i look to make my own metal bag tags with my logo and shape, etc...i keep looking, but not finding. maybe i am not seeking correctly. Please help
I got mine done through a supplier on Etsy. Try searching custom metal tags.
Cute
The harry potter fabric drew me in
Isn't it so pretty?
It is super cute best I've seen so far.
Could I use waterproof canvas for the lining?
Yes you can, but it could make turning out the side strap tabs a little tricky.
Can this be sewn on domestic home machine not a juki
I know u might not be looking to but a sewing machine but future reference. I have a domestic sewing machine, the singer stylist 7258 this machine is a little beast.

As long as you don't use really heavy duty fabric you should be OK. I would try with quilt cotton for the exterior and lining first.
I just finished today on a Viking Husqvarna, it took a while don't know if I will make again it took all day!
What machine do you sew your bags on?
Usually I make them on my Bernina 770QE
My chi does not give off that much steam like yours
It is a very loud steamer of an iron. It may be my setting.
