Thank you for this video! Here’s an additional tip that works for me: I don’t cut out the lining until I’m done making the outside body. Then I use the finished outside body (flat) as my lining pattern piece. That way it’s a perfect fit. I also just cut the lining about a 1/4 inch shorter so it sits nicely in the bottom and I don’t need to alter the boxed corners. 😊
I took my time finishing this one. It's my first H2O2GO. I decided to do the hacked version because your cut and sew videos were so well done. I did have to recut my pocket pieces because I didn't think through that I'd need to center the design in the middle if the pocket. Next time I'll just make a separate template piece for the pocket top and bottom. Thrilled with the end product. I manage trainers and tech writers for a software company for our corporate learning center. Your tutorial videos are stellar.
Wonderful video! I love the way you instruct your viewers and gives us tips that we may not have thought about. I thought your hack was one of the best I've seen. And no music or extraneous talking is a treat- just straightforward instructions. I made sure to subscribe. TY for posting.
I love the clarity of your instructions and video! Thank you so much. One suggestion for this and the cutting video: unless the sides of the shapes are equal, they are rectangles (not squares).
Thanks you for sharing this! I have never made any bag before and I'm a novice. This tutorial was extremely helpful. Hoping I can find a kit to try for my first time!
Thanks for the video - I made the bag for the first time using your approach (I have the pattern). Great directions, only thing I would do differently is to reduce the length of the lining by a 1/2” as it may fit a bit better.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate the no music as I really need your spoken instructions. Excellent ! One question..is there a way to reduce bulk in those front vertical seems and at the bottom of the pocket? My machine has issues sewing a straight line over those thick areas ( domestic, vintage).
You can trim your excess seam allowance! You can also shorten the inside pocket lining so that it doesn't reach the bottom seam, just make sure you stitch it closed before finishing that last seam!
I had to use a 5/8” seam allowance to attach my side panels to get them to match up. I measured them over and over and they were 6” wide. Not sure what I did wrong but it’s definitely throwing everything off.
🤣 no worries!!! Everyone learns a little different! I personally love the "noise" of background music, but I'm also ADHD and Autistic - so, not nuerotypical 😅 until someone told me about the music being distracting, I had no idea!!!
Thank you for the video! I have a question.. My body liner pieces measure 11 3/8 " after carefully taping so the diamonds shape matches. So when I add two inches my piece is 13 3/8" tall instead of 13". I am printing through Adobe. It is set at 100% . The pattern piece should measure 11"" after taping together correct? Mine measures 11 3/8". Any ideas what is wrong?
I have had a few people comment with the same issue, but it still works the same, just line up you pattern piece at the top of your fabric block and cut out - or add the extra length as desired to your fabric block, then proceed as mentioned 💙
This is by far the best hack for the H2O2GO that I’ve made - very well done; thank you so much!! Quick question: every time I box the lining, it comes out 4”x3.75” and I know my 2” up and 1.75” over are exact. Thoughts?
@@SewBestie LOL I’ve been thinking about this for like the last hour! What about this: because there’s no seam on the sides when you go to box, if you mark at 1.75” in from the side and take a 1/4” seam allowance, is that actually adding another 1/2” total? Because I’m getting the 4” across/side to side and get 3.5” from front to back. I was going to mock up trying it at 1.5” in from the sides and see if I get 3.5”. Can you say OCD?!
I have purchased the original pattern. I would like to reduce this by 85%. Can I use all of your measurements and just calculate for the 85% reduction?
You can, however understand that that will make your front pocket much smaller and might not fit a phone as intended. Alternatively, what you can do is use the original blocks and put them together without cutting out the original pieces from the blocks and once your front panel is completely assembled use the pattern piece to then cut out the shape for the top.

You are an excellent teacher. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Big Thank you for taking off the music. For me, it makes it easier to focus. :)
Thank you!!
Awe, I agree with you about the moremeno jingle. It’s too cute.

I didn't plan on purchasing this pattern until I watched your two videos. Thank you!
Thank you!!!

Pretty thanks you god bless
Thank you!
I love your videos
Thank you!!!
You have on your machine...a double straight stitch ❤
This machine does not do a double needle, or a double stitch, it is only a single straight stitch, but still my favorite machine in the world!
Thank you for this video. I appreciate the no music as I really need your spoken instructions. Excellent !

What type of fabric lining did you use? Thank you. Loved your video.
PVC coated waterproof canvas 💙
What interfacing are you using on the fabric? It looks a bit heavier than SF101! Great tutorial!
In this one, it's just sf101 💙

It happens to the best of us!!
OH YAY!! Ignore my other comment. 🤭♥️

That should be accounting for the 1/4" seam allowance on the bottom - so the actual "opening* should match!
@@SewBestie Right?!! It’s driving me crazy because your logic is exactly correct! It should be a finished measurement of 3.5”x3.5”, correct?
I think you might be cutting your boxes the wrong direction 🙈
I'm not sure where you're getting a 4" box measurement?
@@SewBestie LOL I’ve been thinking about this for like the last hour!

The measurements would be great for us that have the original pattern 🙏
