- This is a step-by-step tutorial demonstrating how to sew the Pelican Tote by Bagstock Designs. This is a great bag for beginners that will help build your bag making skills. This is a free pattern that can be download from the Bagstock Designs website at: www.bagstockdesigns.com. I have used cork and 100% cotton quilting fabric for the exterior and 100% cotton quilting fabric for the linings along with Wovenfuse 2 and Decovil Light for interfacings. I sew the bag with my Sailrite Fabricator industrial sewing machine, but this bag can be made on a domestic machine depending on the fabrics and interfacings you choose.

Thank you for this great tutorial! I appreciate all the explanations you gave for the seam allowance, stitch length, and steady demonstration. I have recently started sewing again and trying projects not formally tried. I love how you showed the darts!
You are such a skilled and thorough teacher, with a perfect voice. You have taken the time to show and explain every step of the way. There is no music or other background noise, and you have organized everything so logically - thank you! I can’t wait to give this one a go!

Thank you!
Very good video. Excellent speed and pacing.
Thank you for your kind comment. I am glad you like the tutorial and thanks for watching!
Excellant instructions.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial, thank you! The only thing I would change is to lay the snap tabs down so that they lay flat against the lining before topstitching. That way they lay flat inside the bag when the bag is closed and the top seam is also flat all the way around.
Thank you for a great tutorial....love the tip about the pleat???
You are so welcome!
Excelente 👍
This is my first time watching your channel but I have definitely subscribed. Thank you so very much for this wonderfully informative video. You are a wonderful teacher. A beginner could follow your instructions and make this bag. I wish I had a machine capable of making this bag. This may sound funny but I love the sound of your sewing machine. There is just something about that particular machine sound that is comforting and relaxing to me. I guess it is from when I started sewing at 13 years old and my sewing machine at that time sounded like yours. Your bag is beautiful. Please take care and stay safe. ~Barbara
Thank you for your kind comments! I do understand what you are saying about the sound of the machine. It reminds me of when I started learning how to sew on my mother’s 1950s Singer. I wish I still had her old machine! You can make this bag on a domestic machine depending on the materials your choose.
Rosie's Art Studio That is true. The materials that you used were just perfect.
Just so you know, Barbara, I used a Brother cs6000i to see my pelican and it even had vinyl accents and waterproof canvas lining. I’m sure most domestics can handle this pattern.
Step by step precise tutorial just what I like and the time stamps are a must thank you so much
You are welcome. i am glad you like the video!
I was wondering why the 2 open seams inside the bag. Then when I saw how easy the turning was as you pulled the bag right side out through the larger opening & then close it by pulling it through the zippered pocket opening, you just blew my mind completely! You are so clever!! Thanks for a wonderful video demonstration! Is there a chance you could do a video on adding a recessed zippered top?
you helped me a lot :-)
I am glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching!
I just printed this pattern yesterday so this tutorial is very much appreciated! Love the camera angle. So helpful!! Thank you for such a great tutorial. I’m subscribing to your channel now 🤗
Love 💘
Thank you!
Great tutorial but it should be noted she leaves out the foam sewn in lining; something I wanted but did not notice was missing until it was too late. i was doing an 'experiment ' by not printing out the instructions and only using a tutorial. Lesson learned. Rosie is very talented and an excellent instructor. The bag came out very well and I am proud to give it as the gift for which it was intended.
TFS. I've been watching your tutorials for a while. You thorough and you can teach anyone. Also, love your hacks. Can you tell me what industrial sewing machine you are using?
Thank you for a very detailed tutorial. I have a query why did you keep the opening in the pocket lining and the bag lining both . you could have any one for turning the bag.
Love the tutorial tyvm I'm wanting to add a dog on this like they do hooded towels what special interfacing or what should I use ? Ty
Great tutorial, i understand everything. Thank you. But i just got an industrial sewing macine, how do you manage to control your machine speed? Its crazy speed. Please tell
I have A little story that you might think is funny. But first thank you for this pattern I think it’s lovely and I will be doing it soon. The story: I was in the shower this evening and I had your video playing in the background. My dog started howling like she didn’t know where I was. I peeked out and scolded her and told her to stop howling and got back in the shower. When I finished, I got out and continued to listen to the video. Just then as I listened I realized my dog wasn’t howling but you were sewing and it was your machine that sounded like a howl only when the shower was running! I had scolded my dog for nothing! Don’t be upset…I just thought it was funny and the joke was on me!
lol…I hope your pup got a nice reattach! The pattern is not mine. It is from Bagstock Designs. Thanks for watching!
It seems that the two pockets could have sewn at their bottoms at the same time as their sides; since you used the liner to reverse.
Thank you for the excellent video!!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for such a well done, thorough tutorial! So nice to watch and sew together. I would like to use faux leather in place of the cork and use that for my handles too, being this is my first time sewing with it, how would I "press" the faux leather, or would you advise just using the cotton for the handles instead? TIA
You are so welcome and thanks for watching. You can use some double sided sticky tape to fold the handles in place.
Thank you for your very thorough and informative tutorials! I have been looking for a good pair of scissors for clipping to the corners for the zipper pocket window. Where did you get the pair you used in this video. They look perfect.
Thank you for your kind comment. I think I was using my Tula Pink scissors in the video. Fiskars also makes small scissors that are very sharp to the point. Thanks for watching!
This is a new pattern for me. Did you use additional interfacing than is mentioned in the instructions in the print pattern? I have read through the print and have the pieces cut out. I’m glad I found your tutorial first. I’ll add the second interior pocket!
I used Woven Fuse and Decovil Light which is different from the interfacings listed in the pattern. Have fun making your bag and thanks for watching!
amazing tutorial, what size thread did you use? Also have a fabricator but have been intimidated to try a bag pattern until now. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your good video ❤ why did you wait to the end for closing the pockets, can't i do it when I have sew them??
Great tutorial and explanation
Love it
Is it possible to do it with a zip instead of a snap
Hi Rosie, that was a great tutorial! Thank you so much for your time. I have one question though. I am a beginner at bags and this one called for the foam lining. I noticed you skipped so I am guessing it’s not necessary?
The pattern does call for form interfacing, but I chose to use different interfacings. As you make bags and become more experienced, you will see that you do not always have to use the materials that the pattern recommends. Foam will make a more structured bag, but with the cork fabric and Decovil light, I did not need (or want) to use the foam. Have fun making bags!!
I see and I love this pattern so much I would make it. But I would also pay for your bag cause I love those color choices so much!!! Where do you get those fabrics? Great video
Thank you so much! I buy a lot of my fabric from my local quilt shop. This bag was gifted a a friend and I do not usually sell them. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bag, love the colours! Where did you get the cute zipper pullers??
Hi Rosie. Great video, thank you. You mentioned about our sewing machines accommodating the thread type (Mara 70). I have a Juki DU1181N which I know will take the thread. I also have a Janome domestic machine. Do you think the thread will be ok for that machine?
You should check your manual or the manufacturer.
I really enjoyed watching you sew this bag. Since I do not have an electronic sewing machine, is it possible to give an approximative stich lenght from 0 to 4 on my mechanical machine for when you choose to change the size of stiches.
Thank you

Stitch length is going to depend on the materials you are using. What machine are you sewing on?
I’m sewing on a Huskystar 224.
❤
Rosie, I just love your tutorials. You I have made this bag three times and I love it. But I am having a problem with the lining. It keeps coming out to big and I have to rip it out and keep cutting it down in size. Can you advise me on what i Could be doing wrong.? thank you.
I sent a response to you through my website. You can check my suggestion there. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful tutorial! I completed one of two that I'm making as dance class gear bags for my granddaughters. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks for watching!
Your purse came out really nice. I love the zipper. I never knew zippers had multi-colors. Can you please share where did you get the zipper? Thank you.
You can get them from the website called My Handmade Space.
@@RosiesArtStudio thank you
Thank you for the video. What brand machine are you using and that pressure foot, I've not seen one like it. It looks like a very skinny walking foot
I am sewing on a Sailrite Fabricator. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the very thorough tutorial! May I ask a question about your Fabricator? Is the motor loud (or belt or ?) as you are sewing? I am considering the Fabricator .. thank you!
The Fabricator has a servo motor which is silent when the machine is turned on. You can hear what the machine sounds like in the video when I start to sew. I do not think it is loud, but that is relative to the person. It would be hard to tell what the sound level is just from watching the video because it would depend on how you have your sound level set to on whatever device you are using. But, in my opinion, it is no louder than any other industrial sewing machine with a servo motor.
@@RosiesArtStudio thank you! I live in an area where there are no shops that sell industrial machines so I have to go off online assistance. I have heard o Ky good things about Servo motors. 👍
I find it’s better to fold the prongs of the magnetic snaps inward rather than outwards. That way they don’t interfere with your top stitching.
Awesome tutorial, what is the sewing machine model you are using?
Thank you for this tutorial, I just cut out the pattern.
I really enjoyed the video. I also was wondering what type of sewing machine you used? Can this bag be made using the materials you used on a domestic sewing machine? I am new to sewing and have a basic sewing machine. Thank you!
I was sewing on a Sailrite Fabricator. The best thing to do is set up a little sample with the fabrics and interfacings you want to use in your bag and do a test on your machine. I do not know what machine you have, but this bag can be made on many domestics with the same materials.
Thank you
Which sewing machine are you using on this bag. ?
Great instructions!
It is the Sailrite Fabricator. Thanks for watching!
Could I ask what machine you use please? I like how slow you can get it to go. Mine is either fast or faster, so I can lose control a bit. Thanks in advance. x
I think I used my Juki TL2010Q for this bag. Thanks for watching.
I recently purchased the Sailrite Fabricator and wanted to make bags with it. Beginner here! When you use the Mara 70 thread, what is your needle size? It’s probably listed on their website based on the Tex number….
Why did you leave the pocket lining open on the bottom when you birthed the bag from the opening from the lining of the bag? I've only seen the pocket lining left open to birth the bag, but you left two openings, so I was just confused. Thank you I love this bag and I never miss one of your tutorials.
It is easier to birth the bag through a larger opening in the lining. The bottom of the pocket is left open because after you birth the bag, you can pull the opening of the lining through the pocket to close it. Birthing the bag through the pocket is difficult because the opening would be too small. I hope this makes sense.
I'm new to bag making and live out in the country so I can't go to a local store. Where do you buy your cork fabric from?
Love your tutorials! How long have you had your Sailrite Fabricator? Do you feel the learning curve is fairly quick or is it like the Jukis?
I have only had the Fabricator about a months. So far, I am really liking it. I have not had any issues with a learning curve, but I have been sewing for decades on many different machines. The machine is very much like the Juki 1181.
Hi Rosie! I love your tutorial, I was wondering what kind of machine do you have?
I was sewing on a Sailrite Fabricator industrial walking foot machine.
