Buddy Sling Bag by KMGhandmade - Full Tutorial

In this video, I walk you through how to assemble and sew Buddy Sling Bag by KMGhandmade. and share some tips and tricks along the way.
This video is filmed like a sew along. If you don't want to watch the part where I sew or am doing other things, you can always fast forward or adjust the speed of the video, so it is faster. However, there are times I give tips and tricks while sewing. I figured filling in some of those moments with some helpful information, makes it a bit more interesting to watch. Also to note, I do not give any measurements, show pattern pieces or use any measuring tools on camera, in any tutorials I film. This is for the protection of the pattern/designer and also because I often film tutorials during testing and measurements or other things can change. So, to ensure the tutorials are accurate and match with the pattern, I don't give this information. You will need to have your pattern open on another device, printed, or open on your computer to follow along with each step and be able to refer to measurements or seam allowances given. If you have the video open on your computer and want to also have the pattern PDF open on your computer, you can minimize this TH-cam video and move it to a corner on your screen, it'll be smaller but you can still see it and have the pattern open as well.
The machine I sewed this bag on is a Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini and I used 9/0/14 needle. I used a combination of vinyl and quilting cotton for the exterior, and waterproof canvas and quilting cotton for the lining. For thread, I used Gutterman All Purpose Thread. You'll want to use the needle and threads that work best for your machine.
For more details on the products I used and where to purchase them, see further below in this description. I make no money and don't gain anything from mentioning these companies and their products. I want to give this information to help you source the supplies I use, if you like them and/or want to use them.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the designer, Kristin, through her email provided in the pattern. You can also leave comments below and I will reply as soon as I can.
You will need to purchase this pattern from the designer in order to sew this bag, as no pattern pieces are shown and measurements are not given in this video.I'm looking forward to seeing all the Buddy Sling Bags made and posted on social media!

The angle stitch is created because of an incomplete connection of the needle in the bobbin. When making a turn, make sure your needle goes all the way down and just starts to come back up before making the turn.
I grew up in a house of lefties. I think you pretty much teach yourself to be ambidextrous. My grandmother kept buying me left handed scissors. I could never use them because I was already using “normal” right handed.

Thank you for explaining, however, I already knew the reason it is caused. I give this quick solution for avoiding them, as some still get the skipped stitches in corners, no matter what they do. When I'm not filming, I actually turn my hand wheel so it catches, but while filming I just give the easy tip/fix.
My son was born ambidextrous, we were always amazed by him. We've never forced him to pick a dominant hand, even when school suggested we do. I told them to leave him, it's only beneficial for him in life. He loves when he's playing hockey and can shoot with either hand. It has freaked out people when he first plays with them. 🤣
