This was great. I ordered waxed canvas from fabricfunhouse and got a discount (thanks!) and I downloaded the pattern. Definitely want to give this a try. A tutorial without any annoying music and a down to earth instructor without any gimmicks or cloying gestures. You’re amazing. Thanks.
Excellent video! I have made 42 retreat bags for gifts over the years, but none in cork because I wasn't sure of interfacing, gluing and using a metal zipper and rivets. You showed all of that and in a pleasant, precise way. I appreciated none of the jabbering others seem to do, no ums, right, ok, etc. You should do more videos, first one I've been able to watch all the way to the finish. Thank you!
Just starting following , your an amazing teacher. Clear, concise, speak beautifully . And thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks. I’m watching your videos before actually trying any of these. Thanks again, Sandy
Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share yet another awesome video! Your videos make all the difference for me. I’ve made 3 of the mini totes from your mini tote pattern and look forward to trying this one! Seriously great teacher. Thank you!
Great video! I have made a bunch of these but never thought about using cork. Thank you for all your tips and your passion for all things good. I have voted!🇺🇸
Thanks for Sharing I love love love your Tutorials. I can easily follow your instructions & patterns. Not so much with some of the others I've watched and read. Keep em coming, you gave me the nerve to sew with cork & I love it!
love this tutorial, I wish I would have found it sooner before I ordered the frames for this pattern, but oh well. I made mine out of coat hangers like you showed us and it worked great.
I've had this pattern forever and made it in vinyl, but I love how the cork and waxed cotton turned out. Now I know what I can do with all the waxed cotton I have. LOL! Your animals are so cute.
Sooooo funny story, I had watched a tutorial on this very bag on another channel sometime ago and thought cool. So I placed a order with Emmaline Bags for the wire hardware. Got the order and 🙄 why did I purchase these for, now I know 🤣😂
Great video that the men’s Christmas presents, getting a Janome HD9 on Monday, so that will sew through lots of layers of cork. We are normally in Florida now, but we are staying home in the wet, grey UK xx
I just found your channel! I have the supplies, this pattern and frame (that were for another bag), cork, waxed canvas and zipper! Ready to sew! Yup, I subscribed.
Thank you for this! I've had this pattern downloaded and actually printed our for maybe three years now I swear -- why haven't I made this yet?!!! I love, love, love it in the cork/waxed! I'm rejuvinated once again -- hahahaha! I love this bag! Oh, and I'm excited to see how to make the wire frame!
Enjoyed your tutorial. I need to look into trying some waxed cotton for lining. Right now I usually use waterproof canvas but I liked how your bag turned out.
I don’t 😓 I feel like a rivet gun wouldn’t work either, has to be a press as far as I know. You can set them by hand (hammer and set) but they’re harder to do properly.
I just stumbled across you yesterday, and love the way you teach. You rock! How big are the rivets, and where did you get yours? I’m going to order some and get this pattern. Thank you! ♥️
I personally won’t do that video just because I wouldn’t be able to sell it on my vending table. Give it a try tho! I’d suggest adding strap connectors like the Swoon Brooklyn bag!
Great video! Have made the retreat bags but never out of cork and waxed canvas. Gonna try now. Also, loved how you did the boxed corners and the L. Learned something new. 😊 What Mettler size 40 did you use? Lots of choices and wasn’t sure which one. Thanks!

Why thank you! Welcome to the channel!
Absolutely the best teacher and demonstrator. Clear concise and u give the why’s…Why u do this & Why I did that.
Aw thanks, I try!
Very well done tutorial. You stay focused on the instructions and don’t fill with idle chit chat. Love the fur buddies for their participation.😊
Thanks so much!
I'd love to see a video on how you store your supplies. Your vinyl rack looks great.
Thanks! I’ll do that soon!

Thank you so much! I got a little lost on making the casing for the wire frame. Seeing it done made it easy to see.😊
You’re welcome 😊
Beautiful. "Retreat" bag, I like it. Turning on my notifications for your projects ☺️

Free pattern. Love the tutorial. Great work. You make it look so simple, which is amazing.
I haven’t tried sewing cork yet but you have inspired me to give it a try. Thanks for your videos!!!

! Loved this video!! Going to watch the other one on the frames too. I love that the dogs and cat are all there with you while you sew!
They’re always around!! With four in the house it’s hard to escape them 🤣

I’m always looking for ways to save money!
OMG!! The l on the bottom is genius!
Great video! Boxing your corners like that…. GENIUS!
Lauren from MoreMeKnow taught me that, the BEST advice ever!
@@SewGnar she is great! Love watching her tutorials also.

I’ve made a few of these bags and I couldn’t keep them in stock! Beautiful bag 😀
Oh I absolutely love this! Didn’t realise how simple they were! Thanks for the video 🥰🥰🥰
I've had this pattern forever and made it in vinyl, but I love how the cork and waxed cotton turned out. Now I know what I can do with all the waxed cotton I have. LOL! Your animals are so cute.

I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks a lot for sharing and greetings from Venezuela. Your pets are lovely too.
I’m glad you like them!
You are so smart making your own frame, so fabulous
Thank you! 😊
You are the best ingredient to the message of success=happiness!!!
Aww thanks!
Great tutorial and bag!!!!
Thanks so much!
Great video that the men’s Christmas presents, getting a Janome HD9 on Monday, so that will sew through lots of layers of cork. We are normally in Florida now, but we are staying home in the wet, grey UK xx
Lol.....cats are so funny! I have two. ☺️
They’re always in the way! But so cute!
Great video, will try this bag sewing with cork fabric
Sew fun! I’ve made a few of these with quilting cotton... I must try them with this combo!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!
I love this bag!
Great tutorial, as always!
Love the bag and great tutorial..as usual..Thanks Barb

I love it, it adds the best amount of structure!
Great Vedic Nicole.
Thank you!
Ooo definitely making some for Christmas gifts. Thank you:)
Thanks for the video. This is so cute!!
Darling dogs and great video thank you
Thank you!
Really, Really like this !!!
Great tutorial with great tips. Thank you!
Great bag! Thank you for a great video.
Great video!!! I’m excited to try to make this! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations love the idea...you make it look easy ❤️❤️❤️
You can do it!
I love this pattern, but I find my first one was kinda floppy. I'm looking forward to trying it with cork now!
I love this!
Thanks for this I love your tutorials, I'd like to know if you use a size three or size five zip? I watch from Scotland.
I use a size 5 on these bags!
@@SewGnar Thank you for your reply.
Thanks again, I have a question about the foot you are using. Is that a zipper foot?? it looks like a quarter foot too.
its a teflon foot, I just searched my make of machine and teflon foot and found it!
Do you have an affiliate link for your rivet set? I need to buy one. I have a rivet gun, but unsure if it will work with these types of rivets...
I don’t 😓 I feel like a rivet gun wouldn’t work either, has to be a press as far as I know. You can set them by hand (hammer and set) but they’re harder to do properly.
I just stumbled across you yesterday, and love the way you teach. You rock! How big are the rivets, and where did you get yours? I’m going to order some and get this pattern. Thank you! ♥️
I use 7mm by 7mm usually. PurseSupplyDepot is my go-to here in the states!
I'd love to see this made with carrying straps. Can you or will you make one with straps not necessarily with cork handles, but maybe nylon strap?
I personally won’t do that video just because I wouldn’t be able to sell it on my vending table. Give it a try tho! I’d suggest adding strap connectors like the Swoon Brooklyn bag!
The pattern page has a link to this tutorial. Bag straps and extra pockets on the outside.
Great video! Have made the retreat bags but never out of cork and waxed canvas. Gonna try now. Also, loved how you did the boxed corners and the L. Learned something new. 😊 What Mettler size 40 did you use? Lots of choices and wasn’t sure which one. Thanks!
I think it’s all purpose thread, poly blend if I had to guess (it doesn’t say on the plastic bobbin). glad you learned something new from my video!
@@SewGnar Thanks!!
What do you use for the frames if you don’t have wire clothes hangers?
You can purchase frames from Emmaline Bags on her website.
Great video. Would you mind telling us the name of your rivet setter? TIA
It’s from gold star!
What is your recommendation for tags? Would cork be nice on vinyl or cotton? I do some bags in cork, but not always.
I use cork tags or my brand, but the look is up to you!
How in the world do you get the glue to come out of the bottle so easily, do you thin it down?
I don’t. It comes out easily when the bottle is new but when it’s an older bottle it’s a huge pain!
What is the cactus fabric on the other bag ? Thank You
It’s cork as well, called prickly pear
Thank you
Please send me your link for making your own frame. Thanks!
You can find the link in the description
Watch Sew Sweetness. She shows how to use a fork to apply the zipper pull. Piece of cake!
I’ve gotten pretty adept at the zipper jig now!
SO.MANY.ADS! It's almost unwatchable due to the amount of ads. Otherwise, it was a nice bag.
I’m sorry! I don’t choose how often or what ads show!
