5 yrs of quilting/sewing and I'm now getting into bag making. I've watched several tutorials on specific bags and have made a few but I have to say this is the best video tutorial I've ever watched. I'll be making this bag right away. Thank you from a new subscriber. :)
Tutorial of the year and maybe of all time! Now this is a proper tutorial. Not those videos which fly like the blink of an eye! Thank you very much for making this comprehensive tutorial. It sure went from A to Z. Thanks again!
Sara, you are a gem. Thank you so much for giving clear concise directions that show all the steps, not assuming we know how to do what you’re doing. Even if we did know, we might learn a new easier way. I really like your channel and your method of teaching.
Instead of slip stitching the lining closed, I inserted Velcro and made the space between the lining and the bag into a secret compartment. xoxo from sunny Arizona.
Just made my 1st (of many to come hereafter) Baker Street Bags. I added a contrasting internal zipper pocket into the lining...If only i was able to post a pic 😍 I got so many comps on it at work. Thank you very much. Love to 👀 all your vids.
This is my favorite pattern. I have made eight so far. I love gifting these. Thank you for this pattern. It is the pattern that got me started on bag making.
I'm appreciative of learning new bag and purse making techniques from you. This tutorial is awesome! Thank you very much for the download pattern, plus generously sharing your knowledge and skils.
Just got through watching the whole video!! You are a amazing teacher patience makes a great teacher!! I started off with making bags with fabric material! Then I when to Leather bags! Your good and through great job instructing! you are precise and clear on your videos!! Great job!!
Sara, thank you for this video. You are an excellent teacher/ instructor. In the morning I plan to work on this bag. Of course you will be right there with me.
Thanks for the great follow-along tutorial. I made my bag using a brown faux suede remnant and a fun leopard print interior. It came together perfectly by just following your video.
Just finished my first bag. A few modifications, though. I am a conceal carrier so I made one of the inside side pockets into a carry pocket for my holster and gun. Worked out beautifully...next one will be even better ! Also, I added an outside pocket for my cell phone. Now, I am ready to design another one !
Awesome! That's exactly what I was going to do. I've been looking everywhere for a descent pattern for one and can't find one so I was going to modify this one. Would love to see yours!❤
Hi Sara I have just made this bag and I really enjoyed doing it. Thank you so much for the very detailed tutorial it certainly made it so much easier to put together. I’m from Australia 🇦🇺, but my sister lives in Alaska and she also follows you.
I just made this bag out of cork. It was super easy and having a video to go along with the written instructions was great. Thank you for sharing this free pattern.
Thank you, this is a terrific tutorial. I look forward to following this pattern to make gifts for friends for Christmas, and also to exploring your website and learning more about bagmaking in general. I am old, but relatively new to sewing, having picked it up to sew masks for friends and family in 2020.
I have to say 'ditto'...I'm in agreement with Denise. This is probably one of the best bag videos out there. Thank you for sharing this...I'm going to give this ago.
Hello Sarah, thank you so much for your videos. Today I finished my first bag and I made your Baker Street Bag and added a divider. I love it. It is so beautiful. I am from Germany and it is wonderful to sew what you show. I am looking forward to "our" next project. Thanks a lot for your exactly explanations and instructions. You are so great! Lovely greetings from Germany
Hello & thank you for this fabulous video. It was my 1st video watching of yours and you are a GREAT sewing teacher. I understood everything you told us to do and I love how clear and concise the video shots were. You are by far one of the best tutorial teacher on sewing. Thank you.
Hi Sara, have been a bag lady for many years and now retired have lots more time to persue my love for sewing. I have lots of your bag patterns. Your videos are great , thank you! As I live in Australia I often miss your live chats, so I catchup the next day, ( always great tips and information) I recently bought a Duki sewing machine as a retirement gift to myself and love it, look forward to watching your next online chat, Marianne
Great tutorial! I appreciate you showed everything including cutting out the materials. I also love that you didn't talk so fast that I was rewinding because I didn't catch what you said. I have subscribed and will be catching up on your videos. Thank you!
I'm just coming over from your interview with Karen at Just Get It Done. I'm loving your Baker Street Bag so I've subscribed for more fun bag tutorials!
Best video I have watched in a long time !! And that's because you HV done every step while recording I hate when I'm trying to learn and it's all made & put together then there just explaining ...ggrrr!! THIS IS REAL TEACHING KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK 👍👍🙏💞
I love all of your Tutorials & videos . I'm a self taught sewer & now bag maker. Just wanted to let you know I've learned so much from you & your videos so thank you! Also if I ever come close to being as good as you then I've accomplished something Great! You are my hero Sara.....thanks again.
On your zipper strips Rather than mark folding over to iron lines I run a long 4mm+ stay stitch at the 1/4”. Then it folds and irons exactly where I want it. Then after stitching closed I can easily pick and pull out that fold stitching. I do the same thing on any spaces fo a hole to leave open to turn something right sides out. That also keeps the opening from stretching out when turning. The zipper panels I would sew both sides on at the same time and make them both tubes and then with zipper all the way opened turn both tubes with the ends open... worth trying it so you can share shortcuts and efficiency
This is the first video I have seen of yours, you are a amazing tutor, the way you show and explain everything is excellent, the close up shots and the clear information and clear viewing of what you are doing is again excellent, just what we need when watching a video. I feel now from watching you that maybe I can do this, I will play your video as I go along but because your instructions and camera work is clear, I will be able to follow. I have now subscribed to your channel and will find you on Facebook. Thank you for sharing this and for the pattern.😀
Waw, Waw, Waw!!! I love this bag. I went today and found the fabrics, now I cannot wait to start it, maybe tomorrow, Jehovah’s willing! I am not using Facebook anymore, or other social media, just TH-cam, where I found you, if it ends up good, where can you see the photo of the bag? If it is not that good… I will keep trying!!!
Thank you for the free pattern and the excellent video. I always learn so much faster when it's visual. I've made your Easy Leather Hobo bag many times and love it. It's so easy to customize and I think the Baker Street Bag will be also. A very Happy and Successful New Year. Love all your cork.
Great tutorial on this lovely bag! I am not clear on why your zip has one long end, and I didn't see an end photo of where it sits on completion? Or did I nap and miss something?! The pattern shows a shorter one, this one seemed very long. Loved the tips on sewing in a side insert and dealing with the curves! I am not confident with rivets etc so missed seeing that done too. Thank you.
I am new to bag making too, and wondered the same thing. I saw on another video that it’s left longer than the width of the bag, so you can open the bag more fully.
Fantastic I love the bag and the teaching thank you to including the stitch lengths Happy New Year I can hard wait to make one and also for your next video🤗
You give thee best clear and concise instructions without missing a beat. No fumbles or omissions. You are a great instructor
