As has already been said, I LOVE that you are real. You record your mistakes, explain them, redo them with what you have on hand ... have bobbins run out or get all wonky and make terrible stitches. And you go with the flow. Just fix whatever it is how you need to and move on. That's what is real and happens to all of us, so I very, very much appreciate that you don't cut that part out. Editing to make everything look "perfect" the first time can make us novices feel ... inadequate? Like we need more practice before attempting something? Like we've done something wrong? Not sure what I feel, but it's in there somewhere. How refreshing to see someone with the same issues we all have. Thanks again for that! As to the length of the video, it could have been half if you'd have sped up all of the sewing bits, but then I thought ... wait. Those sped up videos for us novice folks go too fast and sometimes and we can't keep up without pausing or rewinding. Also, it rarely shows that stitches are sometimes not straight and other little tidbits that are helpful for us to not fuss so much. So, keep doing what you're doing!
Ohh my goodness! I think the contrast of smooth versus textured vinyl really adds something to your bag. I also know that you are not alone in charging forward to get to the finish ! Great bag and even greater of you to show the error and how you solved the conundrum.
I love your tutorials . I have never made a handbag and I only have a domestic machine but I am going to try to sew this bag when I get some free time.
I just finished making this bag, and your oops saved me from doing the same thing! Really, the hardest part of the bag was turning it right side out! That was a good workout. Thank you for this tutorial!
You know what Kassiah? I actually LIKE the contrast in texture of the plain and croc black vinyl...and am glad you showed us what happened. Thank you for other wonderful tutorial, I learn so many things watching you....Lindy
Hello Kassiah! This is a really nice bag! I see what you say about the binding the same way. Once it is sewn into a bag you can not longer see smaller and larger errors. Can you please also show the backpack version - that interests me more than the crossbody version!?? Greetings from Germany - Monika -
Ooh! Just finished my first circle bag. It’s a gift for my SIL but I’ll be making another one for ME! Thanks so much for the tutorial. It helped a lot.
Omg! That bag is adorable! Awesome tutorial! I will be buying that pattern. Thank you so much! I would of never purchased that pattern if I hadn't watched your video because I thought It was a difficult bag to make. You make it look so easy!
That is super cute! I just finished cutting out another Bellezza but I may have to make this first. I guess housework is off the table again this weekend!
Siah, You are just so wonderful and I enjoy every inch of your tutorials, even the little steps, as well as the goof ups we can all have, you are just the best. Happy New Year Girl, someday, I hope our paths will cross and we can laugh together.
wow beautiful kassiah, you maybe be able to rescue the other ones if you remove just the strap were you went wrong and gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer and rub it ,it may close up the holes on the main body so you dont see them, also when clipping have the flat part of the clips so theyre on the flat part of the table makes them easier to remove , the curved side should face up, thank you for a great tutorial you make binding look easy
My sewing machine book says never to wine a bobbins all the way because it will get tangled, I have a juki industrial 😊 , love this bag u did a awesome job on it
Happy New Year Siah and family. Hope you all are safe and warm. I hope you are asymptomatic with Covid. And I hope you are out of the Fires Range. Keep on Sewing. RC
Oh my gosh, i was loving the "lines" lining fabric! Had me cracking up! im doing the same,{ where are my marks? ugh, i do not like that..}hahha!! loved the tutorial!
This is my all time favorite video you’ve done, Kassiah! Love the handles mishaps and the stripes were hilarious. I have done all these things and more lol. You are not alone! I’m just getting to this pattern and hope mine turns out well.
OMG I friggen (hope that's not a swear) LOVE THIS BAG!!! I've wanted a round one for so long and this seems doable!!! Thank you! Also, LOVED how you showed your mistake -- if I had a dollar for every time I did that! I made a bunch of grocery bags recently for my family - I'm in VT and we don't have plastic anymore -- which is great -- but anyway -- I think five out of ten of them I did this same thing and I'm like, wait, why don't the handles line up -- I marked the line and everything -- yup, wrong side of the line :)
Oh my goodness I got a new bobbin right around the same point in construction on a new-to-me industrial and I had NO idea what was causing that thread snarling and then the exact same thing happened to you so thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. I was really worried about doing the binding but hey I am going to tackle it today after watching the whole video first. Love this bag and I also have the pattern for the Zenaida backpack, so will watch that video as well. Thank you for inspiring me. X
This video is awesome and that cool little new tool ya got....it's in my Amazon cart now hahabaha thanks for an amazing tut AGAIN!!!! And ignore the "dislike" haters!!!!
I literally just shouted no,no,no at my phone when you almost made the same mistake with the handles. Lol Im so glad you spotted it just before you began to sew.
Thanks for sharing your mistakes. It's nice to see the pros make mistakes too, since I seem to make mistakes every bag. lol. Great tutorial! Can't wait to make this!
I’ve been gushing about my Japanese Book Drill Hand Punch for over 2-3 years in all the bag groups - it rocks aye! Then you can leave your rivet press set up with the dc rivet setter die and don’t have to change out all the time/buy a seperate hole punch die or use those clunky dial leather punches that never reach places or you can’t see where they’re positioned properly 🤗🤗🤗
Love your videos. I just made a bag with a vinyl 3/4” crossbody strap and the strap twisted up like a spiral. You sewed yours down one side, pivoted and up the other, which is what I did. Did mine twist because I did not use a walking foot? I used a Teflon foot. I did cut the strap across the width of the fabric.
For the zipper pocket facing, you could under stitch on the seam allowance only, which gives you a crisp line after you press and the other fabric won’t show around the zipper window.
I was going to run in the first video when you mentioned binding lol, but now that I have seen what's involved, it's not much different than binding a quilt (which I hate to do lol). Loved both of the videos, even though you had everyone yelling at their screens when you placed the strap wrong lol. Thanks for doing this video.
Thank you so much for this. I came across an Oro Rosa bag in a FB group I follow for crucit use. Now I'm obsessed!!! Can not wait to start making one. Your video is great and I appreciate you making and sharing. One question: where do you order your custom "Siah" name plates? The personal touch is greatness! Love. 😍
you know you can attach the zipper to the facing all in one go and then sew a box around the zipper at 1/8 inch, right? Love the double-sided washout tape! A must for placing zippers.
I just downloaded this pattern & was looking at some of the photos. Does anyone know where we can get our hands on that gorgeous watercolor vinyl? I'm obsessed!
Designer here! It is a custom printed vinyl from Fabric Obsessions out of Ontario. She will run it as a preorder in the new year. Here's her FB Group facebook.com/groups/FabricObsessionsGroup/
I hope I'm not repeating a question but the binding you use is white, sewn on with white thread. Do these white stitches show on the outside in the seam fold against the black vinyl?
You sold me on the pattern - bought it today🤣. If I make my own binding, do you think the binding needs to actually be cut from the bias or could it be straight/grain cut..?
Hi Kassiah, I'm new to all this but I was wondering if you need to change your needle as you're sewing a bag with heavy/vinyl material to lighter materials such as a cotton lining and your stitch length.
Are you just throwing your strings on the floor? Just wondering because I see them go everywhere so unless you have trash cans all around you, they must bet going on the floor. That's awesome!
Another question: I'm not adding a nameplate, but I will add a tag on the inside. At which point would you add that to the inside? (I'm having my initials embroidered on an outside panel. Making a saw blade carry case because I'm also a woodworker).
Question. I have a domestic machine and you mention, when adding your sides to your gusset, to keep your interfacing out of your seam allowance. I get that for the decoville, but what about the woven? Will it make any difference with the woven because that interfacing tends to be a lot thinner. I also use a jeans or leather needle and a walking foot.
Forgive all of the questions. I'm wondering why you don't just leave the binding as is, parting the center so it will cover the front and the back, and stitch at a 1/4 or 1/8 seam allowance to sew it all at the same time. Seems like it would take much less time and honestly, that's what the pre-folded binding is designed for. Yes, there could be an issue with catching the back, but if you go slow and use a seam allowance that is 1/4 in from the outside edge (so, if it's a half inch on either side as it's packaged, 1/4 seam allowance should be sufficient), doing it all at once would be a time-saver and elicit the same result, yes? For instance: If you want a half inch on either side of the bound seam, why not just buy a 1 inch binding and wrap the center seam so that you have 1/2 inch on either side, and then sew at 1/4 inch or 3/8 if you want the stitching closer to the edge? Sure, a larger seam allowance would make it a little more difficult to catch both sides, but if it's already folded and pressed ... Seems like you did double the work and undid the purpose of the pre-made binding. But I'm just a novice, so I don't know anything really. In the end, isn't that what you ended up doing anyway with two rows of stitching?
Woo-hoo! Thanks Siah, another one done! My mistake was getting lazy on seam allowances when doing the binding- when flipped I found all sorts of mistakes so did it again (at 3/8” where it’s supposed to be! Lol). I missed the gusset stabilizer in instructions so good thing I saw yours and went with decovil heavy.
First look at this pattern.Fabulous !

Well thank you so much for all your kind words. This just made my whole day 😊
Your Facebook group is AMAZING!!! Thank you for showing binding. I am so glad I found you.
I’ve had this pattern for a while now. After watching your video 3 times, 😂 I think I’m ready to give it a try🤞. Thank you, you’re amazing!!!
Another winner!!! Thank you for being so real and allowing us to learn from mistakes. We all make them, but you show us how to benefit from them.
Ohh my goodness! I think the contrast of smooth versus textured vinyl really adds something to your bag. I also know that you are not alone in charging forward to get to the finish ! Great bag and even greater of you to show the error and how you solved the conundrum.
Love this bag and your fabric choices make it even more beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial!
Gosh you make it look so easy. Thank you for a great tutorial and extra tips. 😘 from Maddy in UK
I love your tutorials . I have never made a handbag and I only have a domestic machine but I am going to try to sew this bag when I get some free time.
Thanks for the great tutorial! I wish you were here to help me put together fabric. You always have the best combinations.
Sweetest bag!!! I need this bag in my life. Really like your tutorials, sharing mIstakes, and tips along the way. Thanks!

Whoa! What an awesome bag! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
I have loved my Japanese screw punch for bag making. I had one on hand as I used to bind books by hand for myself.
Me too I got one from Martha Stewart years ago, works great
Hi Kassiah, greetings from Germany!! I love the bag, and I love you're tutorials. It's you why I want to make bags. 🙂

Yes thank you so much I totally love it!

OMG let’s talk about your awesome magenta hair!!!!
lol Thank You!!
I literally just shouted no,no,no at my phone when you almost made the same mistake with the handles. Lol Im so glad you spotted it just before you began to sew.
Super cute! Another gorgeous make kassiah, congrats!!
very lovely video.

You are so talented. I was shouting at my screen when you almost made the same mistake as before with the handles...lol
🤣🤣🤣 glad I caught your attention!
That’s a really nice bag. Thank you for walking through each step.
fantastic tutorial thankyou
Love your videos. I just made a bag with a vinyl 3/4” crossbody strap and the strap twisted up like a spiral. You sewed yours down one side, pivoted and up the other, which is what I did. Did mine twist because I did not use a walking foot? I used a Teflon foot. I did cut the strap across the width of the fabric.
Yes when I got a walking foot it made all the difference for my straps
I was yelling STOP when you almost put the strap in the wrong spot. Lol- love your video
Hi Kasiah, did you use decovil heavy or light and what would you recommend? Thank you.
For the zipper pocket facing, you could under stitch on the seam allowance only, which gives you a crisp line after you press and the other fabric won’t show around the zipper window.
Yes I normally do that, I was just trying to follow the pattern on this one 😀
Wow!! You make it look so easy!! I wanna be you 😂❤
I was going to run in the first video when you mentioned binding lol, but now that I have seen what's involved, it's not much different than binding a quilt (which I hate to do lol). Loved both of the videos, even though you had everyone yelling at their screens when you placed the strap wrong lol. Thanks for doing this video.

A beautiful bag I wish I could make one
Great video thank you
Thank you so much for this. I came across an Oro Rosa bag in a FB group I follow for crucit use. Now I'm obsessed!!! Can not wait to start making one. Your video is great and I appreciate you making and sharing.
One question: where do you order your custom "Siah" name plates? The personal touch is greatness! Love. 😍
Thank you so much! I ordered them from Alibaba.com 😊
Love the bag and your walkthrough is so helpful! Can you share any details related to the green rivet press?
I just got it on Amazon, it’s nothing fancy!!
you know you can attach the zipper to the facing all in one go and then sew a box around the zipper at 1/8 inch, right? Love the double-sided washout tape! A must for placing zippers.
Yes there are multiple ways to sew zippers, I was just showing what the pattern says to do.
I was like...practically yelling “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Look!! Wait!!…😂😂❤️👜
Ha ha ha I caught your attention! 🤣😂🤣.
The pattern says on the handles that center part is folded to make rounded handles?
Can Waterproof canvas still be used for the interior? Or would you not suggest it.
Yes I used waterproof canvas on my first bag and it worked great just make sure you have a machine that can handle the thickness of it
AMAZING

@@alexisschmidt7469 I just requested to join the group. Am always looking for Canadian suppliers. Thanks
Have you ever used a thread burner? It’s a beading tool, allows for getting into tiny spots to burn your thread.
Yes i have one, I just forgot about it 😂
I hope I'm not repeating a question but the binding you use is white, sewn on with white thread. Do these white stitches show on the outside in the seam fold against the black vinyl?
Yes I would do same colors if I had to do it again.
You sold me on the pattern - bought it today🤣. If I make my own binding, do you think the binding needs to actually be cut from the bias or could it be straight/grain cut..?
Always on the bias so it goes around the curves.
Hi Kassiah, I'm new to all this but I was wondering if you need to change your needle as you're sewing a bag with heavy/vinyl material to lighter materials such as a cotton lining and your stitch length.
Because of the machine I got, no I don’t change my needle.
Are you just throwing your strings on the floor? Just wondering because I see them go everywhere so unless you have trash cans all around you, they must bet going on the floor. That's awesome!
Ha ha yes there is a trash by me, half end up there, half on the floor! I have to sweep after every bag 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. Can I ask about your work light? And would you recommend your machine?
The machine light on top came with my machine, but I have heard you can get it off of Amazon. And yes I love my machine!!
Türkiye hello süperrr 👏👏👏👏👏harikaa 😲😊🤔🙄💝💖💕💞
Another question: I'm not adding a nameplate, but I will add a tag on the inside. At which point would you add that to the inside? (I'm having my initials embroidered on an outside panel. Making a saw blade carry case because I'm also a woodworker).
I would add it when you are sewing up the lining.
Question. I have a domestic machine and you mention, when adding your sides to your gusset, to keep your interfacing out of your seam allowance. I get that for the decoville, but what about the woven? Will it make any difference with the woven because that interfacing tends to be a lot thinner.

I think you could leave the woven in the seam allowance
@@SiahSwag I'll try it!
I don’t often work with vinyl, are the strap end left ‘raw’?
Yes you can leave them raw
super instructions, please what pen you are using? well thank you
It is called a Chaco pen, amazon
I did mine with no binding, does it make a difference?
The binding gives it a better structure. But you could do it either way o suppose
Cute
Where did you get the rivet hole punch
You can find it here! www.amazon.com/shop/SiahSwag
I thought the pattern said to stitch that zipper at 3/8 seam allowance. But you say 1/4. Which is accurate?
I do a 1/4 because I would have to change my foot if o wanted to do a 3/8 like the pattern calls for. It is up to you.
@@SiahSwag Ahhh, thanks. I totally get that, just didn't know. Thanks again.
What kind of double sided tape are you using to stick the handles and overlay down?
I use double sided leather tape from wawak.com
Any chance you know the name of that floral fabric? I’ve searched and searched.
Oh I think it was a rifle paper co print…. It was so long ago though!
Where do you get your double sided tape? I can't find anything like that!
Wawak.com 😀

Hello! Yes I have done that on other videos. I was just showing the method that was in this particular pattern ❤️
@@SiahSwag Ah. Following pattern instructions. I get it. Thanks!
Did you do 1 inch or 3/4 inch hardware?
Oh either one would work for this bag
Very cute bag but can’t purchase I can only use a regular credit card
It is not a mistake, it is a design decision
🤣🤣🤣
Does this take into account the 'pocket gape' mentioned in page 13 of the pattern?
It doesn't seem to?
Woo-hoo! Thanks Siah, another one done! My mistake was getting lazy on seam allowances when doing the binding- when flipped I found all sorts of mistakes so did it again (at 3/8” where it’s supposed to be! Lol). I missed the gusset stabilizer in instructions so good thing I saw yours and went with decovil heavy.
Catching up on videos. I did the same &@@% thing on my straps last bag I made. Feeling your pain. Had to order more fabric
What kind of a sewing machine are you using for this bag??
Kingmax GC0302
I have a semi industrial machine, would this manage to sew the bag?
Could you do that in real leather with your Kingman I just ordered the Kingman and will want to make this in leather as well as cork etc.
Yes totally
