    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!)

  • @fiercekittenz

    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
