- This pattern had been modified to have a drawstring too closure as well as be convertible from a backpack to a shoulder bag. You don't need a lot extra to the original pattern! The only extra parts your need are: instead of 2 strap connector tabs you need 5, you need 1 square ring and 4 d rings (instead of just 2 rings) and they eyelets/grommets.
I now have a sewing group on facebook that yo can come and ask questions or requests videos on patterns. / seamslegitsewing

Interfacing used was: for the outside - Formfuse 1600 by Charles Parsons bought at Spotlight
for the inside - Birch non-woven heavy iron on interfacing, for the base - Heavy backing (craft tex would also work, or a thin plastic) bought from spotlight.

Watching from the U.S. Love your Video and want to watch more! You are great! Love your Attitude!
I can't believe you have Woolworth stores in Australia, we used to have them here in the United States, but they all closed down back in the late eighties or early ninety's. I loved that store.
The soda fountain with the super long counter! I miss it too.
Love love love your tutorial and your choice of fabrics
Well I've learnt today I've been doing grommets so so wrong. Thank you for explaining what the "extra" bits were for
Excelente extra excelente cómo profesora explica detalladamente no cambies, gracias estoy aprendiendo de tí 💕💕💕👏👏👏
I am so glad I found you and your channel. I am a newbie at this type of sewing and have a semi-industrial machine, watching how you put it all together, makes me want to try something like this! Love watching you!
I love this video and I refer to it all the time. I love that your quick and not drawn out waiting for the next step. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
That is one gorgeous bag! What an artist and great teacher you are! I love it👍👏
Great job, must give this one a go. I did the same as you and visited a local upholster and asked if he had off cuts and if he's be willing to sell to me (If you don't ask you don't know). He was happy to oblige and I'm a happy bag maker, better the money in his pocket and it helps a small local business.
love this!! Thank you for perfect instructions. ❤😊
😄 "Yes, it's a weird thing to love, and, no, I don't care." Me, either! But now, I have to order grommets and dies! 😅 This bag is freakin cool. ❤️
Girl you’re gonna burn your bearings out. I’m still working on the Lola bag. No 2 and 3 but my Singer Industrial is being worked on as we speak. She’s old 65 years and tired. But like me a little lubrication and she’s up and running again. Job well done on your videos. Thank you for sharing. Look forward to them.
Thank you. That was helpful 😊. I will try a go at it. 👍🏾
Looking forward to making this bag!
You should mention that you used the lining patterns for both exterior and lining i got so confused on this until i realized that what you did .thank you
Great tutorial!🧵🪡
Another great Video , thankyou !! it turned out great like all your bags do, I have eyelets never used them , but after seeing this I may give it a try
I do have a feeling of throwing clips on the table too!! LOL!
Great tutorial, ordered the eyelets, now off to order the pattern. Thank you x
Love the video, appreciate the little tips
I love your videos. Your work is awesome! Thank you so much!
love the music!
That high C-C# voice. How does she do that?!
Great pattern.....
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks for the video! How'd you prevent the vinyl drawstring from sticking? Mine keeps sticking and won't slide through the grommets well...
I would either use larger grommets or skinnier vinyl, and don't use a shiny style vinyl. They are known for being sticky
Just found your channel and subscribed nice videos. I'd like to see a video of the Herriet from Swoon patterns it's a awesome looking bag.
What are the best machines for someone who is just starting out making bags? Someone who's not ready to invest hundreds of dollars but would still like a machine decent enough and capable of sewing through vinyl and cotton like this? All help and ideas are appreciated.
What size of eyelets did you use??? Thank you 😊
12mm
Nice bag, wondering what sewing machine your using? Thank you.
What are you using for stabilizer on the front and back
I actually don't remember it was quite long so. I'm guessing fusible fleece
Pattern doesn’t have the top option what is the size did you cut the top purple piece?
Same size as the bottom
Hi Tori, love the bag. When you put the lining pieces on the inside and the outside did you cut that piece from the main bag panels when you cut the pattern out. Im nearly finished the bag and wanted to make it a drawstring but I think I will have to try another one as I have sewn the sides up and totally forgot it. Anyway keep these great videos coming xx
She does actually say at the beginning that the lining was the same as the back
Love your videos. Where did you buy your industrial sewing machine and table? I’m based in South Australia.
Buy swap and sell on Facebook:)
How much fabric total I need to purchase to start? Love this video. I am an inventor of a unique drawstring bag. I am sewing my own 1st sample.
For this bag, i would get half a metre of exterior, interior and vinyl. You will have a bit left over though.
I notice that you have a contrast panel a the top of the bag that isn’t in the original pattern, how wide is it?? Then just add seam allowance to both contrast and main panel and sew them together to make the side panel??
i used the lining pieces on both inside and out.
Isnt the lining peice smaller
So can you give the cuts of the front and back so as not to make a mistake ..for the vinyl cut please
They are the lining pieces :)
I dont give measurements as they are in the pattern when you buy it. :)
What size foments are you using? 1/2”.
I use the seam allowance the pattern states
@@SeamsLegit I’m sorry grommets! I want to order grommets to make the draw string Bonnie. Thank you
12mm grommets.
@@SeamsLegit thank you so much ❤️
FYI I love listening to you, love your accent and love your bag making tutorials
Excellent tutorial. How long is the strap? Thanks.
The adjustable strap is 150cm (the width of vinyl)
Seams Legit thanks!!
I think I hear "Kicksstart my Heart" by Motley Crue :)
Where do I find the fabric?
How long did you make the double sided strap?
the strap is 1.5m
Where do you get the skulls?
I had a 3d printer. But I sold it as it took up too much sewing time
Hi, im confused so you use the lining for inside and out but what about the bottom ..the lining is smaller ..not as wide as original bag so the bottom must be gigantic to sew in please please explain love your tutorials but confused with this one
The pattern has the bottom accent panel in it. So i use that and overlay it over the fabric.
Margie Castonguay Hi, just wondering if you have the correct pattern in mind? The bottom is the same pattern piece and size for both the exterior and lining, Hope that helps!
مشاء الله 🇩🇿👏👏👏
