I cannot express how thankful I am for you and this video. I used your video to modify my daughter’s dance bag. Updating the original duffel bag into the new and improved duffel bag was literally a marathon! I even got frustrated and had to take a break from it. But Omygosh, I am so glad that I persevered because she absolutely loves it and I do too. I am so amazed that I made a duffel bag and I am so thankful for your video. I could not have done this without you. Thank you so much for your content. Keep doing what your doing. It is working by helping to empower people like me. Stay blessed.
This tutorial was so informative! I am making it now and ready to put the lining in. ! Had such a good time and I impressed my husband😊! I made the large and will do the medium and small too for gifts. Thank you so much. I like how you just do the class and not all the chatting.
Jess I watch a lot of tutorials on all different crafts and you are hands down the best! Your pace is perfect, your instructions are very clear and the camera angles are perfect! I am really learning so much! I can’t thank you enough!!!
I have seen for years and never applied a zipper that way. You made it look so easy. Wow. I love it. You are so great. I see you use your Juki. You probably have an industrial machine to sew your bags.
Thank you for the awesome tutorial! I bought this pattern to make my daughter a Harry Potter duffel and was a little intimidated when I downloaded the pattern. Your tutorial helped me be successful and the bag turned out so nice! I added more inside pockets, but other than that, I followed your lead! I am looking forward to watching your other videos!
Thank you! Not only for the class, but also for getting to the point quickly and without talking down to us like so many instructors do. You hit all the points, and you did it well!!
Made 2 of these Jess. You were with me all the way. All my family are duffel bag nuts, just like you and I. Cannot get enough of them. Thanks for the Great Tutorial. When I come to Florida I am going to look you up as I owe you a hug. Please get rid of that Covid before I come. I will take you out for lunch or Dinner. Or, you could show me your favorite Disney place. That would be so fun.. Take care, see you with the next fantastic Tutorial.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes some mistakes. Nothing that can't be fixed. You explained everything really well. I'm going to make a purchase list and see what I can find. Thanks for being so thorough.
I made one of 6. I had to go back to your tutorial about ten times. I did make a few mistakes, but Im in love with the tote. thank you very much for the idea and all of the help.
Jess I love your videos. I'm addicted. You're a great teacher. I'm really into making bags right now,although my main sewing projects are quilts.. So glad I found your videos.Very clear instructions.
This is great, and your videos are always explicit and flexible, as you show exactly how to do something and provide options for adaptations, too. I have a piece of printed cotton canvas perfect for this Dallas Duffle.
Love, love, love this bag. I'm going to visit my daughter, it's an overnight mother/daughter visit. I needed a bag to just big enough to carry clean sweats and personal items. I didn't want a book bag type and everything I see in the stores are just too big. The small one is just perfect! I will be making it out of different shades of denium with a matching "personal items" bag. Thanks for making the video, mistakes and all, it's perfect!
I DID IT!!!! Oh my gosh... my bag turned out so well! Granted there are mistakes... that dagone hidden zipper was my worst enemy!!! Also, I wish there would have been more details about the piping; the size of piping more specifically. I started with 1/2" piping which didn't work so well. But I ended up making my own in a different color which made my bag look even better. I honestly cannot believe how good it turned out, or that I made it!!! It really is a great bag! Thanks Jess, if not for you there's no way I would've even thought about making this bag!
I bought this pattern eons ago and never made the bag. I have a baaaaaaaaad habit of doing that. Now I want to make the bag after watching your video. :) Your bags look fabulous!!!! :) Thanks for the video.
Wow, what a great bag. And very ‘male-friendly’ too! Just think of all the different fabrics you can make this with. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for including some piping. As always, Jess, you rocked both this bag and video tutorial! Happy New Year! 🎉🍾
I have enjoyed watching this bag take shape Jess ! Not something I would attempt- I only play at sewing these days I guess. If I filled this bag I would need someone to lift it for me now ! Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome bag and great tutorial! I love adding a strap across the lower part of the handles so that I can slip it over my suitcase when travelling. Look forward to seeing you great project next year! Best wishes to all :)
Amazing! Actually I just finished sewing my duffle bag before I watch your video, and it turned AMAZING! and now I have to make another 2 for my girls. Thanks GOD! The boys do not need bags.
Love the bag and your tutorial. You are great at instructions and teaching. I've been looking for a bag to embroider my Purely Gates Mylar Western Flourish. Big project for me because I'm new to embroidery but I've loved making bags and watching your videos I've learned so many new tricks. When I'm done, I'll post a picture. Be safe and stay healthy.
Came across your channel the other day and my 7 year old son and I are really loving your tutorial videos. Him and I are learning to sew together and your tutorials are so easy to follow. Love love love!!!
Oh. My. Word. My whole body just melted reading that. I love love LOVE that you and your son are learning to sew together. Sincerely, thank you SO much for allowing me to be a part of that. That means the absolute world to me. I have a mini bag coming out in the next couple months that should be right up his alley.
I’m so addicted! Love all your videos Jess. So many creative ideas. Your time and efforts are so appreciated and you make such a difference. Thank you for all you do!
thank you jess for the tutorial as I would have never made this duffel from Swoon. You made it so easy to follow. Love Ya! See you again soon. My son will love this duffel for his 40th birthday.
I stumbled across your page a few days ago trying to figure out how to make the Heidi bag for my mom (Mother's day gift) and now I am obsessed! I can't wait to start sewing more :)
I've made two of these-small and large- and they turned out so cute. The large is huge! You're video is very helpful because sometimes patterns make absolutely no sense to me :D
I just saw your videos last night. Then you posted this new tutorial. I have subscribed! You're very good. I appreciate anyone who speaks clearly and gives excellent instructions. I look forward to more. Happy New Year...
I am new here and I like Your videos a lot! I was looking for ideas for beach bag and found your channel. You are great! I did not find beach bag tutorial, maybe some day, that would be grate!!! 🥰
Bought the pattern today! Can’t wait to make this guy! Going to use it as my hospital bag (I’m due in 4 weeks!).. Let’s pray I use it sooner than later. Haha
I just bought this pattern and I would love to make it the traditional way of installing the zipper and not doing the drop in lining. Just not sure on how much I would need to add to the seam allowance on the bottom seams. Would you ever do a video showing that modified version? Love your videos!!!
Jess, you are such a confidence builder in all of us, thank you so much, you just make my heart smile!!! Happy New Year to you and your precious family! 💚
I really love your tutorials, I am craving to sew all kinds of bags. Now I want to make a Duffle bag for my loving husband. But because it is for our next trip, I can wait months to do it. 🤣😂
I thought the material you used for the lining would have been much prettier as the main fabric for the outside of the bag. Just my opinion. Love your videos. You go through every detail. I love it.
Lovely bags Jessica! I love the smaller one better as I have a big Vera Bradley bag I bought 7 yrs ago that has gotten me thru the worst times! LOL I love watching you sew and I see your “new” machine and you are still having words! Good luck and have a very Happy New Year 🎊 will be looking forward to 2020 videos ‼️
Thank you Susan! I finally took the diva Bernina out of time out, we'll see how she behaves. And I also love Vera Bradley bags, I'm always trying to figure out how to make my own.
I stumbled across this video and it is very informative. The only problem is there's some parts that the cameras so close it's hard to see what you're doing. I'm a total visual person this was really nice and helpful. Can't wait to make
That "invisible" zipper technique at the top of the bag is common in garment construction/dress-making. It's not my favorite way either but it is a nice looking finish.
Hi Jess Love the videos. Would the large bag be alright for my sewing machine it's only small but didn't come with a cover. Thanks Kim. Keep up the good work
As always such a great tutorial! Thank you for posting. Hope you have a very happy and blessed New Year! I look forward to many more or your videos this coming year.
Great Job Jess!! I will have to figure out how to do it without doing the drop-in lining. I hate drop-in's but this one doesn't look that bad seeing as the bag is huge. 😁 Would also be cute making a smaller one than the suggested like at 80%, or smaller. I like the little ones best.
Mistakes happen ☺️ it's good to see how to fix it. This would be perfect for those jeans that don't fit anymore, think of all the pockets that would be on that bag!
I am a beginner sew-er and am loving your videos!!! My hubby is asking me to make a bag for his phone and tablet as well as room for his agenda or notebook. Do you have any videos for this?
Thank you Jess. I have to make a duffel bag for my son and grandson. I'd like to find a good pattern for a carpet bag type travel bag or something a little more structured for myself. Happy New Year to you and your family. 😊
Love it Gonna make my hubby a bag for his job.. please do an easy baby diaper bag! Got a friend just found out she’s pregnant and she wants me to make all her baby stuff !
Jess, I have a hard time attaching the strap anchors to sides, too. It drives me nuts when that second line of stitching by the D ring is off. I was wondering, when I saw you just stitch the long sides of the webbing, if you could run a line of stitching across the webbing below the D ring, about 1/2” or more away. That would be a lone line of stitching (read: no matching!) and would add support/lower weight stress on the D Ring and top of the webbing.
Hi Jess Hope God blesses you in 2020. This was a great tutorial. You made it all look possible, even for me. I just might have to go shopping on Thursday. Any excuse to go shopping, right?
I'm here to help, Debbie 😁. It's a big bag, and the sides can be frustrating (mine never sewed on completely perfect) but looks great when it's done. Let me know if you make it!

When I come to Florida I am going to look you up as I owe you a hug. Please get rid of that Covid before I come. I will take you out for lunch or Dinner.

Thank you so much! I love hearing that they love them!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes some mistakes. Nothing that can't be fixed. You explained everything really well. I'm going to make a purchase list and see what I can find. Thanks for being so thorough.
Mistakes are the best way to learn, right? Thanks for watching!
@@OklaRoots ... I sure hope so, nobody's perfect. :-)
I made one of 6. I had to go back to your tutorial about ten times. I did make a few mistakes, but Im in love with the tote. thank you very much for the idea and all of the help.
Wow you're making 6 of these?? That's incredible! I make mistakes constantly, I think it's just part of bag making. I'm happy to hear it worked out!
Girl, you are good!!! Sew well, teach well, good voice. Attention to detail. Thanks for good videos.
Awww that means the world to me, thank you Loraine!
Jess I love your videos. I'm addicted. You're a great teacher. I'm really into making bags right now,although my main sewing projects are quilts.. So glad I found your videos.Very clear instructions.

I’m dying to make my own backpack! I’d love to see you do a book bag tutorial! Your work is amazing!
I have a couple backpack patterns I plan to film in the Spring! I haven't made on yet, so fingers crossed!
You seem so calm, in this video
this one is my second one I did love the video thank you Jess

Thanks Paula! I've been collecting patterns for years, I feel you! I'm determined to work through all of them.
Update. I just finished making this bag. I love it. Thank you so much for this video. I did do a few things different.
Wow, what a great bag. And very ‘male-friendly’ too! Just think of all the different fabrics you can make this with. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for including some piping. As always, Jess, you rocked both this bag and video tutorial! Happy New Year! 🎉🍾
Awww thank you friend!
waterproof canvas would be great for men, in the outdoor colors
I'm going for it TODAY!! I have most of what I need, watched your video at least 4x, so I'm ready. Wish me luck !!
You got this!
I have enjoyed watching this bag take shape Jess ! Not something I would attempt- I only play at sewing these days I guess. If I filled this bag I would need someone to lift it for me now ! Thanks for sharing.
Haha these bags really are BIG! They aren't terribly difficult to make, but they do use a lot of fabric.

That's so kind of you to make this as a gift! I'm sure he'll love it.
I bought that last interfacing by accident. It makes a bag rock hard lol 🤣😂
I stumbled across your page a few days ago trying to figure out how to make the Heidi bag for my mom (Mother's day gift) and now I am obsessed! I can't wait to start sewing more :)
I don’t even sew. Like cannot sew on button. But this brought order to my mind and made me happy.😀🥰🤩
Yay thank you Jen!! You know how much I adore you 💗 Thank you for stopping by the channel!
Jess OklaRoots also read my original comment and what is with all the typos? I blame cold medications.🤣🤣🤣
I've made two of these-small and large- and they turned out so cute. The large is huge! You're video is very helpful because sometimes patterns make absolutely no sense to me :D
That means a lot to hear! And you're right, the large is a body bag.
I just saw your videos last night. Then you posted this new tutorial. I have subscribed! You're very good. I appreciate anyone who speaks clearly and gives excellent instructions. I look forward to more. Happy New Year...
Aww thank you so much Sandra! That means a lot to me.
I love this bag.....
It is SERIOUSLY cute!

You did an awesome job....just love the way you patiently show us everything.....again, much appreciated!!
Really excellent tutorial. You are a great teacher!
Thank you Johanne!
The time stamps are fabulous thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
What a great bag. I love the stripes. Great choice for either boy or girl.
I agree, Mary-Ann. It can sometimes be difficult to find good "gender neutral" bag shapes. Hopefully we'll see more in 2020.
I am new here and I like Your videos a lot! I was looking for ideas for beach bag and found your channel. You are great! I did not find beach bag tutorial, maybe some day, that would be grate!!! 🥰

Thank you Tracy! 2020 is going to be a good one.
Hi Jess I am going to try this bag. I hope I can do the piping. Do you have a video on how to make the piping?
I don't have to add any of it but you put the idea in my head and now I want to 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful thanks
Love the cork strap. Do you have another bag tutorial that details creating the cord strap?
Jess, you are such a confidence builder in all of us, thank you so much, you just make my heart smile!!! Happy New Year to you and your precious family! 💚
Tina you always just warm my soul, Thank You again for the kindness!
Awesome video. Thank you.

Nice !!!! Love it!! Great work!

I thought the material you used for the lining would have been much prettier as the main fabric for the outside of the bag. Just my opinion.

Love your videos! I’m making your grocery bags as belated xmas gifts. I love how u coordinate your fabrics.
Thank you Marisa!
Great instructions can't wait to make one.
Thanks Debbie!
Lovely bags Jessica! I love the smaller one better as I have a big Vera Bradley bag I bought 7 yrs ago that has gotten me thru the worst times! LOL I love watching you sew and I see your “new” machine and you are still having words! Good luck and have a very Happy New Year 🎊 will be looking forward to 2020 videos ‼️
Thank you Susan! I finally took the diva Bernina out of time out, we'll see how she behaves. And I also love Vera Bradley bags, I'm always trying to figure out how to make my own.
Love them! Thanks
Awesome tutorial!! Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
Love your video tutorials. I would like to make this bag, is the pattern still available?
Would like to see any bag done with suede
You made it look easy!
Thanks Sandy! It wasnt all easy, but not as hard as I anticipated.
Beautiful as usual
I love your tutorials
Thank you Rolanda!
Thanks I’m making the medium size using University of Michigan fabric.
That's awesome Linda!
I stumbled across this video and it is very informative. The only problem is there's some parts that the cameras so close it's hard to see what you're doing. I'm a total visual person this was really nice and helpful. Can't wait to make
That "invisible" zipper technique at the top of the bag is common in garment construction/dress-making. It's not my favorite way either but it is a nice looking finish.
Thank you so much for the tutorial it’s very kind of you to share your talents with us Happy New Year
You're welcome Nargis! I love making them. Happy 2020!
I love your channel
Hi Jess
Love the videos. Would the large bag be alright for my sewing machine it's only small but didn't come with a cover.
Thanks Kim.
Keep up the good work
I really love Swoon Patterns also would like to see a video of the Vivian bag by Swoon.
I can't believe I haven't seen the Vivian before. It's so pretty! Adding it to the list. Thank you Gloria!
Adorei linda bolsa. Obrigada por compartilhar. Feliz ano novo
Obrigado por assistir! Feliz Ano Novo para você também.
Love your tutorials
Thanks Gary!
happy new year to you and your loved ones!!! bless tnx for the videos.
Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for watching Becky!
As always such a great tutorial! Thank you for posting. Hope you have a very happy and blessed New Year! I look forward to many more or your videos this coming year.
Thanks Erica! 2020 should be a good one!
Great Job Jess!! I will have to figure out how to do it without doing the drop-in lining. I hate drop-in's but this one doesn't look that bad seeing as the bag is huge. 😁 Would also be cute making a smaller one than the suggested like at 80%, or smaller. I like the little ones best.
The drop in lining for this wasn't bad at all! And I do think the small version was easier, you don't have as much material going all over the place.
I would love if you made the Swoon baby bell bag! My bff wants one for her next baby but I'm lost!
It's on my list for sure, it looks beautiful!
Mistakes happen ☺️ it's good to see how to fix it. This would be perfect for those jeans that don't fit anymore, think of all the pockets that would be on that bag!
That’s such a great idea!!
Thank you
Sew fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Anytime Stephannie! Thanks for watching.
As always super informative and wonderful video! How wide is your bias binding? One inch??
Thank you for bringing so much cheer into the world!!
Piping not binding lol
Lindas as bolsas amei
Pretty cool bag❣️❣️❣️
I am a beginner sew-er and am loving your videos!!! My hubby is asking me to make a bag for his phone and tablet as well as room for his agenda or notebook. Do you have any videos for this?
I'm still searching for the perfect pattern for that, and it's high on my list. I don't have a video for it yet, but will soon!
@@OklaRoots yay! I can't wait.
Fabulous tutorial. What is the width of your piping?
Thank you Jess. I have to make a duffel bag for my son and grandson. I'd like to find a good pattern for a carpet bag type travel bag or something a little more structured for myself. Happy New Year to you and your family. 😊
Happy New Year to you as well!
Great tutorial, super Facebook group. Have a very happy 2020 x
Happy New Year to you as well!
Love your videos!!
Omg. I don't know how I found your channel but I'm glad I did. New subscriber here and I love your duffle bag.
Yay! Thank you!
Love it
Gonna make my hubby a bag for his job.. please do an easy baby diaper bag! Got a friend just found out she’s pregnant and she wants me to make all her baby stuff !
Haha oh no Shonna! Baby bags are going to be such a fun project. Let me see if I can find a great pattern for that.
Such a great video! Could I use Annie’s Soft and Stable rather than the fusible fleece?
You definitely can, but it may end up more like a pillow. I say give it a shot and let me know!
Jess, I have a hard time attaching the strap anchors to sides, too. It drives me nuts when that second line of stitching by the D ring is off. I was wondering, when I saw you just stitch the long sides of the webbing, if you could run a line of stitching across the webbing below the D ring, about 1/2” or more away. That would be a lone line of stitching (read: no matching!) and would add support/lower weight stress on the D Ring and top of the webbing.
That's a great idea Kris. As long as you extend the fold over that holds on to the d-ring I think it would work.
Do you need all the different types of interfacing if you are using upholstery leather?
Oh definitely not. That will hold up perfectly. I want to see your bag when you're done!
@@OklaRoots most definitely how can I show you once I am finished?
Hi Jess
Hope God blesses you in 2020. This was a great tutorial. You made it all look possible, even for me. I just might have to go shopping on Thursday. Any excuse to go shopping, right?
I'm here to help, Debbie 😁. It's a big bag, and the sides can be frustrating (mine never sewed on completely perfect) but looks great when it's done. Let me know if you make it!
