You are the best sewing TH-camr
on TH-cam
Awww thanks Casey!
Yay! I have this pattern in my queue but have been afraid to start. My new sewing theory is that if I wait long enough, Jess will do a tutorial for me!
Haha it's a good theory Heather! When I started I figured I would run out of patterns to film, but I just keep finding more and more great designers! Now I worry I'll never go to them all
Hahahahaha we have the SAME THEORY!!!!! 😂😂
I finally made this bag!! I used red waxed canvas and a gorgeous dark brown mottled cork that looks like aged leather. By FAR my favorite bag and not that hard! This will be my airline travel bag (I made the large) and I love the crossbody strap, which I made from 1” seatbelt webbing. Spectacular pattern!! Hint: using zipper tape for the main zipper, extend the tape out to the edges, not 1” in like the pattern. Don’t bother attaching the pull until right before boxing the top corners. Open the zipper before attaching the bottoms, then slide the pull on TWICE so both ends are closed when attaching the anchors.
Oh my goodness,,,
"I did it... I made the smaller version"
I am a new sewer, and I could not have done it without this awesome video / tutorial.
Thank you.
Hey Sweet Stuff, the strap connectors are REALLY challenging. My Juki would not handle them so I ended up hand sewing the top stitch. I used E6000 and glued them in place. After that I put the rivets in place. Worked out GREAT. Just thought I would share because I know I will not be the only one having problems with those small pieces. Thanks again for ALL you do ! You're the BEST !!!!!!
I love this tutorial! I’ve had this pattern for 6 months and you finally gave me the courage to do it! Thank you!!
Thank you for your tutorials. I enjoy watching them while building the courage to tackle my first project. ❤️
I love your video! Clear, precise and nothing in there we DON'T need. This was the first one I watched, and now I'm a fan! Thank you!
Thank you thank you for doing this one! I've had the pattern forever and have been afraid to make it! Thanks to you my friend I'm confident I can do this!!!♥️♥️♥️
I love the size of the smaller bag! The look, shape and accents are so perfect for that designer look. I just bought that dimpled ivory vinyl on my punk a few weeks ago, ha! It is so stinking cute on that bag!!!
Just made this bag in the handbag size and am so obsessed with it. I loved your tutorial. Thanks Jess
I love this bag! Thank you so much. I will be making the larger version. I think I will put dual zipper pulls on top. You’re a great teacher! 😁
The way you teach and how comprehensive you are has inspired me to try one of the easy bags. Have only made a couple of cotton bags with fusible fleece and never thought I would try cork or vinyl and harder stabilizers and hardware but I am. Maybe in a year or so I can make something like this. Love your overhead camera. Thank you so much!
Sew fun! This bag is on my list. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!
This bag is so cute. I like both sizes. i love that you use your home machine because I don't have an industrial and I can make it on my Bernina. Thanks for all you do.
I've made a couple of bags lately and barely referenced the pattern because I just watched your tutorials. SO much easier to understand and follow! I've been dying to make this one and now I know I actually can. Thanks so much!
Wow! I love it! I am going to try this amazing bag this weekend! Thank you Jess!
Jessssssss I have this pattern and I love it that waxed canvas just makes it look sooo rich!!!! 😍
Love how u show detailed videos on cutting the pattern and sewing the project up.😊😊
Wow, I will have to work up to this one, it’s gorgeous, but I’m learning. I’m so proud of myself though, I used your Bitty Boxy bag tutorial and sewed one using my handwoven material, it turned out so frick’n cute! Thanks for such great tutorials!
I love your video. This was the best step by step I seen. I can make this bag by following you. You explain everything and everything you use . Just love it. Will be following you. Thank you.
Thanks for this tutorial! I bought a stiletto/seam ripper from the place you got yours. She's so great to work with!! I love it! I'm going to be making the Sewn Ideas Beauty Makeup Bag for my daughter hopefully in the near future. Can't wait to give it to her! Couldn't do any of it without you! ❤️
Oh my gosh this such a classy looking bag!! I love it!
I had seen this pattern before but was not that interested, but then you made this cute handbag size and I was so in love that I had to buy the pattern even though I am sure I could have figured it out by myself. So I just bought it and will be sewing mine soon. Thank you Swoon Patterns for allowing the video and OklaRoots for sharing the video. Xo from Brazil. Vanessa
You are extremely good at explaining everything. I’ve not as yet made a bag, but with your superb tutorial I’m going to have a go. 🐶
Wow...I love both of these bags. You are so good at tutorials that you make everything look doable! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I bought this pattern as soon as I saw how beautiful it was on Instagram. Can't wait to make one. Thank you for the tutorial.
Jess YOU'RE AMAZING!!!! going to buy the pattern and tackle this beauty! Thank you!!!
This tutorial is amazing. So thoroughly explained!!! Im now going to purchase this pattern. I was not sure which Swoon pattern I was going to try first. This tutorial helped me make my choice. Thank you!!!
I was so looking forward to your video. You are wonderful and I love the variety. You’re THE BEST!
Awww thanks Madeline!
You always make me smile ! I love you girl!
I absolutely love watching your tutorials! I’ve made a couple of bags following your tutorials. The best!
Thank you Marina!
Thank goodness for having you ‘by my side’ when I made the smaller bag! However, I now have the confidence and knowledge to do the travel size and will try foam. The smaller bag I used fabric canvas and Decovil light, lining in quilting cotton interfaced with woven interfacing with vinyl accents. A nice structure but much more ‘floppier’ than yours but the shape is there and lovely. I did give up trying to sew on the side clip connectors and used rivets! Thank you for your great tutorials.
Another brilliant video, thank you..I’m excited to try this one
thank you Jess i love watching your videos, when i buy bag patterns i always check see if you have a video . thank you this my next bag to do
Just finished this bag. It IS so stinkin cute!!
Good looking bags! Thank you for the tutorial!
Amazing! It was so informative and professional. Thank you!!
Wow wow a perfect bag. Love it
You are so talented! I love how perfect your bag looks!
Thank you so much!!
This bag is absolutely gorgeous! Cutting pattern pieces slowly but surely but it gives me time to watch your tutorial a few times before I start!
hi
Same here! I have to watch one or two times to see if I am able to make it!
I know what I am doing this weekend!
Great tutorial. Thanks.
I just love the way you do your tutorial Jess. You are such an inspiration for me. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s became like a therapy !! May God bless you always. Wishing you all the success. Both the finished bag looks super awesome. Continue to stay as my therapist. Love you ❤️🤗🌹
Awww thank you so much friend! I hope you're doing well!
@@OklaRoots Really love you 😘 Stay blessed ❤️🌹🤗
Hello Jess, I am beginner but love how you did a whole class on making a hand bag!!! very inspiring video tutorial
Thank you.
Yes you definitely could! Just cut down those flaps.
Love your tutorials!!! Seriously the most comprehensive and organized🙂. Thank you for this one, have been holding on to the pattern for a bit🤣.
You are so welcome!
I have found myself only making stuff that Jess has made. For some reason I can't seem to grasp anyone else's tutorials.
Hi Jessica, what a great bag. As a fellow Bernina domestic machine users l want to share my favorite tip for top edge stitching 1/8 inch. Use the blind hem foot with the center guide and move your needle position over. The guide rides along the accent piece edge keeping the stitching the same distance away from that edge. Total game changer for top stitching! Thank you for all your awesome teaching.
I will have to look into this foot!
So I tried this bag. I got all the way to the connectors for the zipper... It's too much for my machine. Ive tried everything except sewing them by hand. I'm so glad I used old fabric for this test bag! That's the exact reason I don't use my good fabric on the first try. I don't think I'll make this one again. On to the next bag 😁
Jess, I’ve been watching your tutorials and love everything you do. You are inspiring. I took your idea of using waterproof canvas for lining. It’s great!!! So far I’ve used it in my wristlets and it’s wonderful. Now I’m going to try decovile lite for some larger bags. Thank you.
Yay! You'll love decovil light, it makes such a difference.
Ahh!! You made my favorite bag!!
Just adore this bag. Both sizes are brilliant!!
I’ve ordered a rivet press and I’m super excited to start using it.
I agree your bag needs to travel - come to Scotland with it 😜😜
Shellie I have it on my list to visit Scotland! I've wanted to travel there for SO MANY years!
Enjoyed your video. Think I will sew my handles on when I do the front pieces though. Seems like it would be easier at that point to rivet or sew. Great pattern. I’ve used that yellow waxed canvas for a Klum bag, but was disappointed with how dirty it got. It definitely looks well loved!
Great job!! Love it. Very high end looking.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely love this bag. Kinda intimidating but may try one day soon.
I printed this at 110% and it’s the perfect TSA carry on & used it when we went to hawaii for all my kids and my stuff
I’m making this Jess in those exact colors. I love it. You know what it reminds me of. Remember in old western shoes. They would show the stagecoach guy carrying and bank money. This bag looks like that stagecoach bag. I love this bag I bought the pattern just now and getting my waxed canvas. Thanks love ya girl. Kris
That's so true Kris! It does look like that! It's such a classic shape.
@@OklaRoots I love love love it. I bought the pattern and girl I plan to make one for my daughter too
Loooooved it, thanks
Wow!😍. I just love these bags, they’re so cute and beautiful🤩. You’re so amazing and a good teacher. I’ve just subscribed to your channel! But can you share some of your old patterns with those of us that don’t have easy access to these beautiful designs? Thanks
Brilliant bag thank you for sharing
Love love. Will be making
Thank you for this. My first Brooklyn was a hot mess 🤣🤣 so I needed this. Bless up 🙏🏿❤️
I can understand why, it's a tricky bag! Hopefully this helps if you decide to tackle it again!
@@OklaRoots after seeing this, I will most definitely take on the challenge again. Thank you 😘
Beautifully done. Very nice craftswomenship. You're fabulous and a Professional Bag manuctuer. Thank you for you're expertise wisdom and love. . One love Afro G64 lamiert Park Village LA Crenshaw 👼❤️🔥 Blessings
I love your tutorials so much! Please make the Meraki backpack by Bagstock.🙂
I would love that to
This is great! I’ve been designing a lined duffel for travel and trying to figure out how to do the ‘sew it inside out and turn it’ part, and my design and this design are similar enough that I can just use this technique. I might even add a little velcro stash pocket in there… hmm… 🤔
Omg this bag is soooo nice I just had to try and what a project it turnt out to be. Everything went wrong I put the linning on the outside as I forgot to cut my vinyl but OK looked good. I put the bottom inside lininning on the outside but worked OK as now it is vinyl on bottom. But the inside pocket went well😊. I even managed to put on the strap connectors but alas my machince did protest A lot 😢 not sure it will recover. But managed to finish it with rivets on strap as machine did not want to no. All in all I am really pleased with final outcome. Really enjoyed making the bag just wish my head was on right 😂.
I just subscribed. This is the second tutorial I've watched from you. I love how you give the dimensions of the topstitching (also in metric) and you clearly instruct us at every step... and to let us know when things aren't stitched perfect.. when to let it go. While I am not a beginner, I am not a confident sewist (also I just got back into it from not sewing for a decade). Question though: do you not have to finish the seams? Thank you for making this video.. I will be buying the pattern.
So much like to this tutorial, amazing to learn
Great tutorial. Thanks.
I just finish making the travelers bag can't wait to do the hand bag.
I love your channel. I have made many wonderful projects just from the knowledge you share about sewing. Would you be able to do a video about this bag without vinyl?
I love this pattern
I applaud you!
Bello. Y muy bien explicado. Será mi próximo proyecto.
I love your tutorials!! Do you have any on how to sew a shirt? Your videos are so detailed and amazing!
Oh gosh adorable!
Really good looking bag.
You are so funny.
Road trip!
No, I was thinking on my next Europe trip, maybe in the fall?
Ooooo that sounds lovely!
What a beautiful bag. They both look so much better than the ones on the website - I wasn't attracted to make them. But now...uh oh...I see another pattern purchase in my future! Since you make the main body out of waxed canvas and cotton, which did you prefer? Any fabric suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Yes!! I made this bag for myself in October and it was so difficult for me making this on my Janome HD 1000. I searched your previous high and low for this tutorial from you because I just love your teaching method! You're one of my top sewing youtubers ( others are more me know,siah swag, and sew sweetness) I religiously watch! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I definitely go for making the larger size thanks to you!
Awww thank you Synthia! This is definitely a tricky one, but oh. my goodness it's so pretty!
@@OklaRoots Yes it is. I started making handbags back in April/may because I was furloughed from my work and just needed to do something to occupy my creative mind( I am a singer and that outlet was canceled for me too due to the pandemic). I started watching another TH-cam handbag chanel, but felt defeated trying to follow along(videos weren't detailed enough and found it took me too long to follow along) then I found your channel and Ahhhhh...what a relief. Ive made thus far 3 of the project Pouch bags, one swoon dollie, and the Sadie expandable all from watching your videos. I tackled the Brooklyn handbag on my own praying that you'd done a tutorial on that one, but didnt give up. When i couldn't find it on your chanel, it led me to More me know page thanks to you! So i am now sew addicted all thanks to you!! Lol. Thanks again for what you do. You are sooo good and your videos are so detailed and thougrough. Just requested to join your FB group so I can share some of my creations.
@@synthiafigueroa - Hi Synthia. Above you talk about struggling to make this bag with your Janome. I have a domestic Janome 30. Do you think it would be possible to make this bag with a domestic machine? This question is asked a few times in these comments but Jess OklaRoots didn't respond. Totally understandable since there are so many comments... but I'm trying to figure out if this bag will be too much for my machine. Any thoughts if this Swoon Brooklyn would be too much? Thank you!
@@ToddGPDX I think you should
be okay making this on your domestic. I did on mine! I will admit it was tough, but I managed to finish it. My advise would be to go slow! Walk the foot if you can n also leave any interfacing out of your seam allowance if at all possible! I’d also invest in a hump jumper too! If you’re as much of a confident beginner as I was when I made mine, you’ll do just fine. Good luck!
Wow! You always make it look so easy! 😆 You always inspire me to make more bags! Also, how do you get the zipper pull on so fast?! I always struggle with that...
omg is beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Fantastic!
Good explanation 👏 👍 👌
Very nice tutorial
Amazing!
Wow really nice. Omg
Very nice pattern
I made an attempt at this bag. I failed miserably when it came to stitching the base on. My machine just couldn’t do it, and it’s a good machine. I used fabrics that were too thick….. Durrrr
The tip about cutting out the placement for the strap connectors is brilliantly simple.
English is not my native language and I do not understand all the words you say... BUT your tutorials are so clean and detailed that make it so easy to follow.. BUT, most of all I love your enthusiasm and the joy you spread even throught the screen!
Thank you very much for your time and efforts!
Greetings from Athens, Greece ♥️
Wow, thank you! That means so much to hear!
@@OklaRoots ♥️
Love the video was hoping you would do this pattern could you please do the handbag one your looks beautiful
Jess you are such a FANTASTIC teacher! I have learned SO MUCH from you!! I've watched this now, gosh I don't know maybe five times and I'm ready! LOL! I just have one question, I'm the kinda girl that HAS TO HAVE A POCKET on the outside of my bag. Zip, slip, something. Do think this is something that could be accomplished for this bag style? I would love your thoughts.
Love your teaching, I have learn much watching your tutorials.
Would you recommend home decor fabric for the outside of this type of bag?
I love your fabrics and notions. I can’t get anything like that here in this country 😔
Very cool!
Hi Jess: OMG.... I'm Sooooo in love. Got hooked on making the Bonnie Buckets for a while, now I have a new one to tackle. So Great ! Thank you soooo much. I am a visual learner so I'm sure the written instructions would confuse me. When that happens, I just give up. LOL, that's why I have many Bonnie Buckets under my belt now, all thanks to you my dear !! Oh, by the way, your link for the binding babies is no longer valid. Thought you might want to update. You're the BEST !!!!
Thank you for letting me know Tina! I'll get that link fixed
Adorable Jess!
Thanks Bonnie!
I love the tribiani traveler. I battled between the two bags.
I have to try that one!
Gorgeous
I like your bags and tutorials a lot! Will I be able to use my Babylock home sewing machine to sew the same material you use? Thanks.
Jess, I'm glad I found you! I've been waiting for a tutorial in waxed canvas! My canvas is about an 11 oz (if I'm remembering correctly). Perfect for the traveler size. Did you run into a problem assembling because of the lining pocket 2" down from the top? The written instructions say to measure 3" down. Probably won't make a difference either way but I'm a rule keeper and I'm following your tutorial all the way!
