When I was a girl I learned to sew from a woman who had worked as a young seamstress in the Paris couture houses… you move you hands while working, exactly like she did…with such elegance and careful attention…so nice to see!
It sounds like you had a wonderful mentor! Learning to sew with such grace and attention to detail must have been a truly enriching experience. Your connection to the tradition of craftsmanship from the Paris couture houses is both inspiring and beautiful to hear about.
Yes… you move slowly too so we can see.. you show all the angles! Keep up the good work! You have a beautiful voice I would not mind hearing more on your videos but when you speak it’s delightful! Good teacher!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you find my videos helpful and informative. I try my best to move slowly and show all the angles so that everyone can follow along, even if they're beginners I'm also glad you like my voice. I'm not sure if I'Il be able to speak more in my videos, but I'll definitely keep it in mind Thanks again for your support!
Awesome ! looks not too complicated and just what was looking for - I think I have the same machine as you - what tension setting are you using to sew after you "roll" it please? Many Thanks for your instruction SJ :D:D:D
Thank you for watching! I'm am pleased to know that you found this tutorial helpful. To answer your question, the tension was probably 3 or 4 but I would advise you to do a scrap test to see what works best.
Love your meticulous instruction and background music. Not sure my machine would have enough power to get through all those layers. Wondering if you have an industrial machine. Thanks!🎉
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Actually, I used a domestic sewing machine for this project. It's all about adjusting the settings and taking it slowly through the layers. It's always better to be safe than sorry, if your machine can't handle it don't force it.
Excellent tutorial, so much care and precision taken. Are those regular hairclips you are using? They don't look like they mark the vinyl at all. Thank you for your detailed tutorial.
Hello Natasha 👋 Thank you for your kind words, they're well appreciated. Yes, those are regular hair clips they don't leave any marks in my experience.
Hello! Thanks for watching. I used a #16 or jeans needle if you have leather specific needle use it, polyester thread and a Teflon foot. Caution: if your machine cannot handle the bulk do not force it as this may damage your domestic sewing machine over time.
Hello. Cannot help but notice that faux pebbled leather. Where did you get it? I checked your blog but you don’t seem to have a link to shop for it. Did you find it on Amazon?
@@eshjanewell, it’s 6 layers of vinyl and although a domestic may cope it puts strain on the motor and needle post. Also if your presser foot is higher than intended because of fabric stack thickness you may compromise thread tension. Not knocking the method, just advising caution. If the motor strains or your are hand- wheeling to help needle to penetrate you’re probably at the limits of your machine. There are lots of inexpensive older semi industrials out there, usually just straight stitch or simple zig zag that will cope fine. Enjoy your sewing.
@@timgidney3189 Is there a suggested needle size for going through 6 layers of vinyl? I have a Janome 6600P which is fairly heavy duty. Do you think it would strain my motor?
Sewing machine man - Yes well commented! I certainly wouldn’t risk my domestic machine but then I’m only using good quality 100% cotton fabric with interfacing to make the handle firmer or you could use a thicker stabiliser on one side of the strap only. Whitney Sews did a very nice panel tote with rolled handles a few years back which I made quite successfully 😊happy sewing 🧵
Thanks. I needed this today for a bag I'm making. I couldn't figure it out. You've made it so simple.
Hair clips. Awesome idea!
Yeah, use whatever is convenient for you.

Muchas gracias por compartir tus ideas, realmente buenísima...😊❤
Thank you for watching.
The spray what is the name? Wonderful video ❤
Loctite adhesive spray
Exactly the tutorial I needed! Did you use a special needle and/or thread & foot for the thickness of the strap?
Hello! Thanks for watching. I used a #16 or jeans needle if you have leather specific needle use it, polyester thread and a Teflon foot.
Caution: if your machine cannot handle the bulk do not force it as this may damage your domestic sewing machine over time.
Hello. Cannot help but notice that faux pebbled leather. Where did you get it? I checked your blog but you don’t seem to have a link to shop for it. Did you find it on Amazon?
Hello Elizabeth, Thanks for watching. I got that material from a local upholstery store. I don't know if it's available on Amazon.
What adhesive did you use?
I used Loctite spray adhesive for light bonding.
How many layers are you going through.
total is 4
The first pass is 4 layers, then it is folded again!! @@adriannegilbert7574
8 Layers
Sewing machine man here. Great tutorial but this could wreck most domestic machines. Just saying- be careful out there🙂
Good looking out 😉
How is that??? 😊

Doesn't look rolled. Just looks folded.
Okay
