Hi Kesiah, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you very much your amazing tutorials. You have literally changed my life by fostering a level of confidence to sew bags. I just started sewing less than 12 months ago and I knew nothing about sewing anything. You fabulously explain each bag in a manner that is easy to follow and encouraging. As a result of your tutorials, I am now working to open a bag shop. I look forward to each of your videos. Your caring personality always shines through. I wish you and your loved ones a new year overflowing with joy, great health, and love. Take good care of yourself.
Thank you for taping this tutorial, it helped so much, in spite of my repeated mistakes. 🙄 This is a practice Louie bag for my daughter who never likes what I sew, she requested this! One thing I have learned, better to line the bag with a patterned fabric…you won’t be able to see the stitching problems that stand out with a solid. 😂
Great video. I just bought this pattern after watching part of your tutorial. This is the first one of yours I have seen and it won't be the last. I love the way you show your sewing. I will never think that I am using too many clips to go around a small bag again. Those rounded corners can certainly be challenging and it is very helpful to watch a skillful sewest work their way through those parts.. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you for your generosity.
Love the tutorial, have the pattern and will follow this video to make one for my daughter who just became an RN at the fresh young age of 45! She will use it on while working so that she does not have to cram all the things in her scrub top pocket like we did in the old days! (im a retired RN). Thank you, Kasiah!!!! 💜💜💜💜 OH and Falange or Falange's means fingers or digits!
I love this bag! You make it seem so easy to do. I plan on buying the pattern to try it out. Also, love that it doesn’t have to have any interfacings. ❤
FYI; I’m only 5 minutes into your video and had to pause to buy the pattern! You are awesome and I love watching how creative you and your sister are 😎
I have 3 patterns that I have been combining and modifying to make one like Lululemon, and it's still not perfect after at least 10 bags! But this little bag could be my saving grace. Just bought it. Can't wait to try it. Great video Kassiah!
Hallo Siah und Familie, ich wünsche euch ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein gesundes fröhliches Neues Jahr. Vielen Dank für deine tollen, lustigen und sehr hilfreichen Tutorials. Bleibt gesund und herzliche Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald / Deutschland, Dagmar
Awesome tutorial! I was wondering if you could list out the pattern pieces that you made slightly bigger for the smaller seam allowance. I'm getting ready to make one on my industrial and wanted to make sure I cut the pieces according to your instructions. Thanks for taking us step by step through these bags, so so helpful!
Wow that flange part was so hard to do! I don’t have a stiletto so that’s next on the buy list. I have to big of webbing so I had to stop at that part but as a newb I appreciate you going through each step:)
OK, I got the pieces printed and have made a bag. I ended up making 4 wings with the buckle because I thought it was on wrong so changed it, then saw it was wrong again. I couldn't seem to get it on the correct side. I still don't have it on the correct side but what the heck, I'll keep it for myself. One other major problem I had was getting the pieces together without puckers on the rounded edges. Love the bag but hate the assembly. Think it must be me. I am making another one right now so maybe it will be better this time. Love it when your sister is on.
Just bought this 😊 There was a discount applied (I think because I bought it through your link, Siah?) I have some lovely lambskin and lambsuede leather that I do believe will be perfect! Haven’t been in my sewing room since THANKSGIVING!!! This pattern and one by Lind’s Handmade will be the first two on my list after I get some clutter cleared out of there 😂
I love it! I just bought the pattern. I really like your leather one. Now I need to find some nice leather to make myself one. Also the new intro is fantastic!
Your videos are great and I appreciate the time you take to talk through what you are doing. It is difficult to see the right and wrong side when things like WPC are used; just my opinion.
HeLp! I just sewed my gusset to the back piece instead of the front piece….😢…and it was perfect (only my second gusset). Can I save this without taking it apart? I’m using vinyl and I’m not skilled enough to sew exactly in those stitches.
Love it & your video’s! It’s so helpful. I just wish I could get my industrial to sew on thinner materials like yours does. I have to do the thin stuff on one machine, then to my Juki 1181 for the thicker stuff. Do you have any advice on tension that might help that?
Thank you so much for this sewing tutorial. This is just the bag I have been looking for and can’t wait to make one. Do you have any suggestions for interfacing for woven cotton exterior pieces. Thank so much!
Thanks for such wonderful tutorial… yours is by far the best …question about the base when added to the completed zipper… my base is always much wider than the gusset… I mean like 1/2}. What am I doing wrong? The bag is not difficult (even though I still hate binding lol) but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I am using an industrial consew with the foot that came on it… my seams are definitely not the recommended but my finished gusset on the bag seems so much more narrow… I hope that makes sense
Can you answer a question? But first I wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. 🙂 In one of your videos, you have a seam guide on your faceplate. Can you tell me where you got it? I know Juki and other industrial machines do have numbered grids. I have been looking for one and instead of scratching a deep gouge in my faceplate Id like to try yours first. Thank you so much and keep making videos. Happy New Year!!
I literally cannot get the leather version out of my head!!! I've never done leather....kinda scares me. Did you skive all those seams even with the thinner leather you mentioned? No interfacing right? Please tell me its easy.....😆
Love your videos! I went and bought pattern right away and made my first one! Love Love the way you teach! May I ask where the leopard print canvas is from that you used for the medium size bag. It is an understated print and i really like that, I do sell some bags and I know that fabric will appeal to my little side business. Thank you for all your hard work making videos.
I bought fabric therapy waterproof theraxtex which is like a nylon and waterproof matte therxcloth woven which is a little slickish. Would this work for the exterior (nylon one) and interior (slickish) one? Thanks!
Is there anything comparable to lux nylon? I’m looking for a specific color that they don’t have, but I don’t even know how to find anything comparable.
I just started this pattern, can I ask you where you got the leather from? I’d love to do it .. this tutorial is so helpful! I really love the tip on on the short webbing side. You have great advice! Thank you! Can’t wait to finish this bag!
Yes. I just made one on my domestic machine. Definitely need the zipper tabs. Next time I will not include the webbing in the seam. This will help so much. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello Shia I visited your website to purchase a few items. But for some reason nothing populates only the bag you’re selling. Do I need to make an account in order to purchase any thread, zippers ect? Appreciate your reply.
Could you elaborate a bit more about the sizes needed if using a smaller, 1/2” seam allowance? Is there any alteration to the length of the base? Thank you.
Dah, yes, 1/4” is what I meant. I just finished a bag that I used 1/4” seams throughout. It is great. The gussets are a little wider, which is fine with me. Thank you so much for your videos. I am on bag #4 now and still watching them the whole way!
Yes you can but I would make full zipper panel around so you don’t bind right next to the zipper…. My experience has been the binding might get caught if it’s right against the zipper tape
If we’re following the SA in the pattern, do we need to do the flange portion differently as you did? That part was confusing and couldn’t really see what you were doing.
Your tutorial is wonderful. Unfortunately for me the thickness was just a bit too much for my machine and it did not come out well. After doing it all it was just so disappointing. BooHoo😢
Really well done tutorial. Particularly like how you are very specific with why you've made decisions on the fly.
I just made this in pink vinyl and are so happy for it.😊 Thanks for your help! I love to look at your video's
You are so welcome!

I just bought this pattern. I'm excited to make the small in the brown leather. Love it. Did you make your own wallet because it fits just right
Great job!
I love it! I just bought the pattern. I really like your leather one. Now I need to find some nice leather to make myself one. Also the new intro is fantastic!
I love the leather too. Let us know where you purchase from if you find some!
Can you use waxed canvas too? I love all the ones you made! Very cute!
Yes you can!
Are you using nylon seat belt webbing for your straps? Thank you for this great video. Your instructions are awesome!
Great intro!!!
😊
Let's make a bag, siah swag....

Your videos are great and I appreciate the time you take to talk through what you are doing. It is difficult to see the right and wrong side when things like WPC are used; just my opinion.
Love the inteo
Hi Siah! Love this bag and this video tutorial! May I ask where you get your metal bag tags? Also, where did you purchase the thin leather?
Tolles Intro ❤😘
This bag is pretty thanks you god bless
Thank you! You too!
HeLp! I just sewed my gusset to the back piece instead of the front piece….😢…and it was perfect (only my second gusset). Can I save this without taking it apart? I’m using vinyl and I’m not skilled enough to sew exactly in those stitches.
curious about what camera you use for doing these tutorials?? great quality!
Just my I phone actually!
Love it & your video’s! It’s so helpful.
I just wish I could get my industrial to sew on thinner materials like yours does. I have to do the thin stuff on one machine, then to my Juki 1181 for the thicker stuff.

Thank you so much for this sewing tutorial. This is just the bag I have been looking for and can’t wait to make one. Do you have any suggestions for interfacing for woven cotton exterior pieces. Thank so much!
I would maybe do a double layer of a woven interfacing
I connected the wings to the front instead of the zipper side, it shouldn't matter should it?
Thanks for such wonderful tutorial… yours is by far the best …question about the base when added to the completed zipper… my base is always much wider than the gusset… I mean like 1/2}.

It was a very light weight leather!!
Kasiah love your leather bag! Any suggestions on where I can purchase thinner leather like yours? Thanks!
Love your videos! I went and bought pattern right away and made my first one! Love Love the way you teach!
May I ask where the leopard print canvas is from that you used for the medium size bag. It is an understated print and i really like that, I do sell some bags and I know that fabric will appeal to my little side business. Thank you for all your hard work making videos.
It is from weftandwarpco.com/password
Thank you!!

Yep totally!!
The bags are cute but your earrings are stunning! Where did you get them? I’m obsessed. 🤩
I got them at an art fair in St George!
One round of binding? Sold!!!
Is there anything comparable to lux nylon? I’m looking for a specific color that they don’t have, but I don’t even know how to find anything comparable.

Thank you! Can’t wait to finish this bag!
I got it from a place that went out of business 😭
@@SiahSwag thank you! That’s sad because it is beautiful!! I’m on hunt for some. If I find it I will let you know. Lol 😂
Good morning from Australia. Are you live
I love your tutorials. Is it possible that you could make one on a domestic machine? For those of us that don't have an industrial machine.
Yes but you need to do zipper tabs and try and keep the webbing out of your seam allowance
Yes. I just made one on my domestic machine. Definitely need the zipper tabs. Next time I will not include the webbing in the seam. This will help so much. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello Shia I visited your website to purchase a few items. But for some reason nothing populates only the bag you’re selling. Do I need to make an account in order to purchase any thread, zippers ect? Appreciate your reply.
No it is down while I take a break and will be back up on the 17th 😁
Thank you.
Could you elaborate a bit more about the sizes needed if using a smaller, 1/2” seam allowance? Is there any alteration to the length of the base? Thank you.
Do you mean the 1/4 around the zipper? No alterations needed
Dah, yes, 1/4” is what I meant. I just finished a bag that I used 1/4” seams throughout. It is great. The gussets are a little wider, which is fine with me. Thank you so much for your videos. I am on bag #4 now and still watching them the whole way!
Awesome bags. Love your video!! Which wallet are you using in your personal leather one? Nice to know it fits in the small version
It’s the purse pal from Linds Handmade!
@@SiahSwag thank you very much❤
hi pattern purchased and hoping to start it soon, wondering if binding can be done all around instead of only in the back? has anyone tried??
Yes you can but I would make full zipper panel around so you don’t bind right next to the zipper…. My experience has been the binding might get caught if it’s right against the zipper tape
what weight/size thread are you using?
Tex 70 bonded poly thread I sell on my website: siahswagbags.com/products/industrial-bonded-poly-tex-70-thread?_pos=2&_psq=tex%20&_ss=e&_v=1.0
May I ask the thickness of the leather one?
C U T E ! !
Hi Kassiah! Would you use the same length webbing for the medium? 6” & 50”? Thank you!
Yes, absolutely
@@SiahSwag Thank you! I am working on a medium right now. I will post when done! Thank you for your video!
Do you have any recommendations on where to find thin leather?
Tandy leather
Hi Kisiah, I wanted to ask what is the difference between the ottertex canvas and the lux nylon.
When you say you are using canvas did you mean plain canvas or Waterproof canvas? Bought the pattern. Hope to make it soon
You could use either
May I please ask you what type of fabric you use is it a Vinyl?
Where can I get/buy the pattern? I can't find it on your website or youtube
www.uhohcreations.com/collections/patterns/products/louie-waist-pack-pattern-pdf-download
I was wondering if you cut your waterproof canvas for your binding on a bias.
No no bias for WPC
HI CAN YOU MAKE A CLEAR ONE :)
Yes I have and it works so good!
How did you print all the pattern pieces in the correct sizes? Mine just prints part of them
You have to tape them together n
What thread do you use?
Bonded Polyester Tex 70 from my website siahswagbags.com
Could the nylon lux be embroidered?
I’m not sure, haven’t tried that yet!
Where did you purchase your 1.5" webbing for your bag?
IndoLoveKreation 😊
If we’re following the SA in the pattern, do we need to do the flange portion differently as you did? That part was confusing and couldn’t really see what you were doing.
The same as the pattern just at the smaller seam allowance. It was a hard step to show
Thanks! I bought the pattern and will give it a shot this week :)
Tried this with water resistant canvas and it was horrible. Not an easy pattern to ease the corners on.
Oh yes WPC would be hard not to get wrinkles.
Your tutorial is wonderful. Unfortunately for me the thickness was just a bit too much for my machine and it did not come out well. After doing it all it was just so disappointing. BooHoo😢
Sorry to hear that
✌️🙃🫶🫶🫶✌️🙃
Intro
Do we have to use the buckles? I don’t have those. Do you think maybe a D ring and clasp would work?
Yes that would totally work
@@SiahSwag okay perfect! Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m so glad you did a video on this! 🥰
