Timing .... I have a bag pattern and wanted to change the strap connectors.. in my search for wisdom.. a Fierce Kitten Video!! PERFECT! So well explained that even this old lady can follow along.. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this video. I ripped my bag apart and inserted these hidden strap connectors. My bag is now sooooo cute, I can’t stop looking at it. I will definitely use this technique for my other bags. Thank you for the clear, easy and humorous directions. You bring joy to bag making 😊
Thank you for this hidden D-ring application. It’s quite attractive. Good video
Thank you so much, you literally saved a project I have been working on for a year and would never have figured this out. God bless you! ❤️
So happy I found this video!!!! Your explanations and angles were perfect and I was able to complete my firSt pair on my first ever bag !!! Thank you for explaining in such a clear way and your comedy and personality is perfection !
Hello. I'm new to your channel. I must say I love your quirkiness. It's so great. Thank you for good content
What a great and neat way to make a strap connector! Thanks for this
Thank you so much. I've not yet been able to master the hidden strap connectors. I'll definitely be giving this technique a try. 💖
Looks amazing. A little daunting for a beginner, but fun to test on scraps. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.😊
Oh yeah absolutely. I honest to goodness have to come back and rewatch my video to remember the technique. I don't do it often enough that it's stuck in my head :P
Such a great idea - thank you!
Love the video!
I've done these before but this method is MUCH better! Thank you! I just found your videos this week and I have to say, you're my kind of lady! Love your sense of humor and your geekiness. :) I'm into fantasy stuff as well.
Thank you!!! I'm glad it helped :) I don't use hidden straps often, but when I do, it's *chef's kiss*.
Thanks for this technique!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I've just completed a bag sewn with marine vinyl. I've been trying to figure out how to attached the handles so that they do not break from everyday use. I think this method will help alot!
Hey kitten I've been away for a bit but I'm glad one of your videos was the first on my list. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
I love your videos, especially because of all the funny and weird things you say. You combine teaching and humor perfectly, which is hard to do. I’m excited to try this technique. Thank you for the video!!
Thanks
That mat is amazing. I hope I can get it here in Australia.
Oh the purple one? Yeah that's from Martelli Notions! I'm not sure about international shipping, but it's worth a shot! I love mine. It's THICK.
Você acabou de salvar minha ideia🥰
This is a really great way to do the connectors! It save so many errors. Thank you! Also, I was wondering what kind of thread are you using for your fabric? I have a domestic machine so I'm not sure of my all purpose thread would be ok for this. Thank you!
I’m using Tex 90 thread, but that’s for the industrial machine. For a domestic, I’d use upholstery thread!
I watch so many of your videos, you do great professional work! I have learned a lot from you. You are into so many things and work a lot of machines. I also want to say I like your humor, the world needs more humor! I particularly like your video where are you hiding the toilet paper. lol That was really funny and at a time when it was scarce. Seriously, your videos are very knowledgeable and informative! Thank you!
Hey, Kittenz! Thanks for this video! Is it about 1/8 inch from the slit you are stitching?
Yes, roughly 1/8"! You don't want to be too far away, but also not so close since you won't catch the edge of the seam, or be so close it'll rip.
I love your videos. Thank you for the time you put into them. As far as hidden connectors for woven, couldn't you use a bound button hole?
You could!
@@fiercekittenz Thank you
I'm relatively new at sewing; if using cotton quilt fabric, could you make a buttonhole for the slit?
You absolutely could! Just know it'll be visible on the exterior when you're done.
You mentioned that you sometimes make your Lolas smaller than the regular pattern. What size do you make them? Do you have a picture of one? Thank you
I make them at 80% and here's a picture: instagram.com/p/CSU7NbiJazu/ I love this size, because they're small enough to do cross-body as an option and not so small that you can actually pack a bunch of stuff into them!
Amazing and funny 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you. 😂😂😂😂😂
What contraption do you use for your overhead camera? Thank you for the video.
It's an Elgato mounting arm!
Hi! This is brilliant! I have a weird situation though. The point in my bag where I want to add this is actually at a seam. It’s for a boxed bag so it’s where the two side seams come together. Which means they would intersect the horizontal slit I’d be making for the strap connector. Is that going to create problems? How can I use this method on that bag?
Oh yeah... I wouldn't do that, sorry :( You'd potentially weaken that seam and it would eventually pull apart. I haven't done one of those before on the horizontal slit, but if I were to do any kind of strap connector there, I'd honestly just rivet it into place.
@@fiercekittenz thank you!!
Could I use this same process if I’m sewing with WPC?
Yep!
Hey, how would you finish it with out a rivet?
I'd sew a rectangle with an X down the middle of the rectangle!
What is the brand of your iron?
Oliso!
I do so wish you would not talk so much and repeat yourself its very distracting, and in fact find myself just switching off the sound and watching what you are doing.
Then this probably isn't the channel for you. I like to give thorough explanations and repeat important details, because not everyone will catch it the first time it is mentioned. Next time I'll make sure to talk like Mickey Mouse - you know, to make it more entertaining and "distracting" at the same time.
Sometimes your inside thoughts don’t need to become your outside thoughts. 💁♀️ this was one of those times.
You are both right. The technique is good but loses itself in the chatter.
