You know the funny thing is sometimes I think the videos aren't going to do well and it's those that do the BEST. I try to just talk, cut a joke or two, but at least get to the point and not spend 10 minutes talking about the weather.
Great tips! Thank you so much.
Great ideas. Thanks so much!

I know you mainly teach how to make bags but I'd LOVE to see some basic pattern tutorials for amateur sewists, like for example, circle skirts. There's a lot of tutorials on KZread for them, but the quailty of your videos and edits, the details and simplicity in your instructions... you can't even be compared!! I love your channel! 🥰🥰🥰 Commented this on the most recent video in hopes you'll see this, lol. Never stop making content pls. (P.S. Your convention bag idea is AMAZING, especially with the security leg strap!)

I actually recycle as many of the Amazon boxes as I can! I hate just throwing them away, so I try to find varied uses for them when I can.

Did you ever make a zipper template with your Cricut? If so is there a svg file or did you just measure and make it yourself. I find that to be such a great idea and makes it look so professional.

I don't know about wooden or fabric really, but the people I used (Topwin) for my metal tags were awesome! Maybe try Etsy for some laser cut ones on wood?
Great information. Thanks for sharing. I don't have a lot of money to spend on embellishing my bags. I still don't have custom bag tags. I thought about purse feet but they were pretty expensive. Where do you get yours?

I get purse feet right off of Amazon! You don't need the screw-in kind. The ones I get are lightweight and have two prongs you just support and lay flat on the wrong-side of the fabric, just as if you were installing a magnet. What I do is put a touch of glue on them, then cover them with a strip of duct tape. I only add purse feet to deep bags that may be set down on the floor, like the Swoon Lola. www.amazon.com/COTOWIN-Pieces-Nailheads-leathercraft-Findings/dp/B07D49HQRN

Honestly? I really want a Brother ScanNCut, but it's so hard for me to justify it. I don't have a place to put it in my room that doesn't involve me putting it up after use, which almost always means I'll forget I have it and NEVER use it :(

I made it myself and printed on Spoonflower for this one.
Instead of vinyl for zipper trims, you could also use upholstery fabric as that doesn't really fray.

That's awesome, you totally said over 9000. Please tell me you know the reference and if there's another reference, please tell me. All I know is the mis-dubbed Dragon Ball Z reference. It's power levels over 9000 and if I'm just overly explaining it, I don't care. It's hilarious and I love your video so far. 4:45

I am not just yet. I’m working with a fellow designer on this one and we both have had a pretty rough 2023. Things should clear up for us *knocks on wood* this year. The zipper construction is exactly like the Purrfect Pouch, if that helps.
I would like to be able to find quality fabric tags to go on bags.
