Thanks Jess! ❤

I believe it's pronounced like "E-LEE-zhun", if that helps 😊 I enlarged mine to 120% to carry just a bit more, and it came out perfect. Plus it's easier to fit your hand into (even with my small hands, I found it too small/aggravating in the original size). I plan to make all future ones at 120%.

Awww thank you! That means a lot!

Made this for my sister in law. The perfect size her. Easy sew. I only used vinyl for flap-and top like you did.

I really like this bag. I’ve decided that I don’t need to carry all the junk that I used to. I’ve made them for a couple others and they seem to like it too. I have an industrial and made one with cork and faux leather and two with water proof canvas and faux leather.

Cute bag which I'm getting ready to try. The mint green vinyl is a winner. I believe I will make a longer zipper and sew the final seams at ¼" - I think I want a little more top clearance. Thanks for such an informative and precise tutorial. Kay in Dallas, Texas

VERY cute bag. Love your complete make videos, super helpful.

Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Omg YEEEEEESSSSSSSS I literally made this for the first time today, wishing the whole time that I had your tutorial! I got through it, but thought of you the whole time! How funny!!! And I made my entire exterior out of vinyl! All cotton interior. Next time I might do waterproof canvas for just the card slots.

@@OklaRoots it turned out great! I used a faux crocodile vinyl, so I’d say it’s a medium/lighter weight vinyl. I just made sure to do a 2nd row of stitches right next to the stitch line, just for extra reinforcement. Same on the darts. But it was actually super easy! You might discover some new muscles you didn’t know you have trying to birth it, but if you go slow, it turned out perfect! I used siahswags method of stitching the hole opening, so I didn’t feel like I was about to rip anything! I’d share a pic, but I have no social media (cavewoman over here! 🙋🏼‍♀️)

I love this pattern. Went a little crazy and made a bunch of them last summer. If you make the strap a little longer it sits well as fanny pack too. My Gma wears her's all the time and keeps her phone in it.

Hiya Jess - Do you have a video that makes a bike pannier??? That would be AWESOME. I've seen many of your videos and if anyone can teach me how to make a decent bag ITS YOU ! :) Let me know? May a thousand little Black Capped Chickadees land on your window sill and sing good morning to you :D Cheers :D

Hey Jess, you are by far my favorite bag making channel!!! I have a machine question for you. I just started Quilting and bagmaking about four years ago. I’m in my late 50s. Anyway, my first machine was and still is a quantum stylus 9960 by singer. About a $300 machine. It’s been fritzing out lately and I’m two different Juki Machines….the Juki DX5. Or the Juki TL2010. I’ve been told that the 2010 is better for bagmaking because it has more power and can get through more of the thicker stuff that we use such as Cork canvas foam etc. etc. BUT It’s only a straight stitch and is semiindustrial. What do you think about working with that type of machine on your bags? I really don’t know if I can handle trying to find the perfect tension each time. Is the skill worth learning? They are both in the same price range. The other is totally computerized. I’m so curious as to your thoughts, please help!!

Such a cute bag and great tutorial as always! 💜 Can you do a video on the Guadalupe crossbody by SanRosa Creations?

Hi, I'm learning a lot from your videos. I'm new to making bags I have the hand press machine and a few dies, I see you use a multi punch tool do you find that best rather than buying the hole punch for the hand press machine? Thanks

Where can I find the glitter vinyl you used in the video? I love how lightweight it appears.

This is exactly what I have been wanting! Thanks for the video. I went to purchase the pattern. Looks like they only do PayPal. Has anyone run into this situation?

I made 4 of these, with vinyl and waterproof canvas. Notes: Better with thin grade vinyl, it's hard to turn in heavy/embossed vinyl. Waterproof canvas interior is probably overkill. Next time I'd increase the size by maybe 25%. It's a hair too small for cell phones in a big case, and the exterior pockets aren't really practical as they're tiny.

I know that the bag finish is 6 inches wide. But I wonder if you can make it were it’s not as wide.

Hi, could you slow a bit and repeat the instructions? I even have the acrylic templates for this bag( Elysian )… Thank You so much.

Love your videos. Can you let us know where the vinyl you used is available. Thank you!

So I've made this sling a few times, all interfaced cotton, and I keep having issues right at the main zip closure where the internal thread is visible. It seems like there's just a lot of stress here, and I can't get the corners (especially the zip tab side) to poke out nicely. Anyone else have this problem? Any initial thoughts? I feel like a crazy person that I keep running into this with really not very thick material!

I purchased this off of her website, but I put the wrong email address so it was never sent to me. I don’t know if I have to re-purchase it again and put the correct email address. I don’t know how to get a hold of her, but I really wanna make this..

I’d also love to know if anyone tried topstitching the liner down? I’m not a fan of loose liners cuz I feel like it always gets caught in zipper

@OklaRoots

7 ай бұрын

Totally understand! If you want to stitch it down, just don’t go all the way to the ends. Only top stitch where the zipper is. That we the end of the seams can still spread like they need to during final construction
