Crossbody Straps - I order from Ali Express. It takes a long time, you can search in Amazon for one but they will be costly. Best bet is to plan ahead and order on Ali Express or make your straps. I will be reselling wristlet straps soon. I have several colors in stock.

You are a natural teacher! Your instructions are clear and concise.

Thanks so much.

[@quandomanuel6812]

Thanks for representing TheeILove 💯. I have a B79 and I’ve made 2 so far. Simple and easy to make.

[@arikamade]

Oh that’s awesome. #theeilove 😁

[@bernadettetaylor4762]

The bag turned out really cute… thanks for sharing!!❤

[@arikamade]

Thank you! 😊

[@miadouglas731]

Great video. Headed to locate zippers and straps.

[@arikamade]

Good stuff!

[@LaChelle1962]

To turn vinyl I have a small ironing mat that I heat with the iron then rub the vinyl over the heated area it will soften it and make it turn easier. I heat and repeat until I have the vinyl turned right side out. I never touch the iron to the vinyl only the heated warm mat. Hope that helps

[@arikamade]

Awesome. The bags I made today and last night, I used a dryer. Definitely helps!

[@andreamclean241]

[@tammycoles9728]

I love how you put the initials on the purse.Can you please show us how do it?

[@arikamade]

Thank you. Sure. Do you have embroidery software? I can show you on embrillance if you have that. It’s all I have.

[@tammycoles9728]

Yes ma am I have embrillance as well. Thank you so much

[@tammycoles9728]

I can’t wait to learn how to do.

[@angiesfabrications]

How would this work with a pe800? Do I need to float it?

[@arikamade]

You would use the 5x7 file and your 5x7 hoop and do the exact same steps. I did the vertical bag yesterday. It’ll be a few days before I edit and post it. I did an all clear bag before as well but I can’t remember the designer to retry it 😩 but this style bag is possible, just smaller in final size. You must try it. Grab the file while it’s on sale with my code. You won’t regret it. 😃

[@andreamclean241]

It takes a long time it seams like it wouldn’t it be faster if you sew it on a regular sewing machine.

[@arikamade]

It doesn’t at all. I’m very detailed and explain every step. The longest thing is the logo design which you can’t do on a sewing machine. Probably a 15 minute bag with the logo. I’m making another after work. I’ll see then. Very quick bag. 😃

@@damekawilliams3690 thank you. About a 9x6. Check my community page to see image I just posted. It gives an idea of what it will look like on a person using the mannequin.
