Jessica makes it all look so easy. Very professional at a young age. Impressive skills and an impressive bag! Thank you for sharing.

Jessica. Thank you for sharing your wisdom of making this bag. You sure are a natural teacher. You take after your mom in teaching.

Such a darling bag, Jessica! Here's a tip I only recently learned, after sewing for 46 years. On the lining, when you stitch to your opening, don't cut the thread. Instead, l turn the lining 90° and stitch off the edge. Doing this on both sides of the turning opening helps to pull the seam allowance into the bag making closing it easier. Can't wait for the next video!

Jessica is such a great teacher with great tips while sewing!

Appreciate the tips and tricks as she goes along. She is a natural teacher. :)

Hello! After a hectic but fun day, it is so nice to sit and watch your video. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you for sharing this video and your time.

Jessica is a wonderful teacher. So young and so talented. Thank you for her videos!

Thanks Jessica - this is one of the best tutorials I've seen for beginner bag making. Really clear instructions, and the camera work is excellent on the close-up views.

I ordered this kit from MSQC but am so grateful this video is available to help me along. Jessica is an amazing teacher. Just a natural!

This is a great video, doesn't assume we know anything about bag making, the tips are super handy, and the pace of the construction was perfect. I purchased the kit from MSQC and really appreciate all the lovely fabric, cork, and zipper that are coordinated and ready to go. Saves about eleventy-seven trips to the store! Looking forward to the next bag in this series.

Jessica, Wow! What a wonderful job you did with the sewing and an outstanding job on the vedio! You are a natural in front of the camera. Thank you so much. Greetings from Arizona!

What a great instructor. No ums or uhs! Looking forward to many mores videos. Thank you!

I’m so happy about this partnership. I’ve only dabbled in bag making, but I love Sallie Tomato supplies!

Wonderful tutorial. I have made similar-style bags but without all the “bells and whistles” of this one. She makes it look easy - I would be in tears with the first slip-up!!

Explained very well and so beautiful. Hope mine will look as good as your's did. Thank you

Just wanted to compliment you on how well you teach! Very detailed and so pleasant!

Purchased the Mia bag kit a week ago and finished it today in two sewing sessions. First time making a purse and with the all the supplies in the kit and the video tutorial it was a successful sewing project with a few seems needing ripped out and re-done but I’m happy with the finished product. I did change the lining fabric to a green batik that matched the flower fabric perfectly. Can’t wait to show it off!

I so enjoyed watching this video. Jessica is a wonderful teacher and shows you every step of the way, she is awesome! Love the bag and can not wait to make one for myself! Thanks.

Fantastic tutorial! You are a gifted teacher. Can’t wait for many more bag tutorials. Thank you and God bless you.

Thank you Jessica! Great tutorial on bag making. Love the bag! Love the tip on starting point of sewing folded strap. Start in middle and reverse stitch: preventing misalignment. Great tip I will use. Your pace was just right, I did not have pause and rewind to comprehend a bit of info.. Many Blessings! 🙏

I love this bag!

Jessica was very professional in her tutorial Makes me want to sew a bag.

Love this cute bag, thanks Jessica

What a sweet little bag. I love it ❤️

What a cute bag! Your instructions were clear and concise. Looking forward to your next tutorial. Thank you!

Jessica, What a terrific tutorial. Every step was clearly explained. The close ups for each step were perfect. Even though quilting is my go to "therapy" it's always fun to change it up and try something else. Can't wait to order my supplies and give this a try. Thank You 💖

It’s beautiful!!!

Very good instructions. Jessica, you’re a natural!

What superb instructions! Thank you ever so much for making this look so easy to make! Awesome job!

Stayed up way to late to watch but so worth it…what a lovely lady..great tutorial and yes I may make several of these..can’t wait for the next tutorial. Thanks so much.. I love purses, bags and totes!

Awesome you Mae it look so easy!

I love this video, very inspirational! Thank you for not rushing through any steps and the great camera work. I also like how you pronounce “bag” as “beg” , so cute. In NY we say “bag”, rhymes with “snag” 😀

Thank you!

Love your bag.

Loved it makes all easer

I have so many ideas for this bag!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks enjoyed the tutorial ..beautiful bag!

Excellent tutorial. Nice slow pace. Making a bag intimidates the dickens out of me; however, this tutorial is so well done I feel confident I could do this. Great job! I look forward to the next one in the series.

WOW this is a great video tutorial. I love making zipper bags and have been looking for a purse pattern that I can make. They all seem too hard or complicated. BUT your video looks like one I can actually make. I love your instruction style. You show each step and you describe everything you are doing so we do not have to guess at anything. I cannot wait to make some of these bags and may even see if I can make a larger version since I carry so much stuff with me. Thank you for this great video and I look forward to more of them.

Such a good teacher! I have Debbie Shores bag making but now I understand it the way you do it good job!

Good job, Jessica! I really enjoyed. I no longer find purse making so frightening!

Lovely bag, complete explanations ! This smart little lady will have a beautiful carrier at MSQC for sure! 🤗 I just wait to see her next video !

A very informative tutorial. You did a great job.

Excellent video. Clear and precise instructions. Thank you so very much

Great tutorial. You always make it look so easy to turn a bag. I guess I just need to keep practicing.

Beautiful purse thank you

Thank you. Great tutorial.

Jessica you did a fantastic job on this video. Very professional, clear directions, and great tips as you went along. Because of you I subscribed to the channel!!

This is such a cute bag! I’m hoping the pattern comes back soon.❤️

Excellent teacher.

I really enjoyed your video, you are an excellent instructor. I am certainly going to order this bag. Thank you for your presentation.

Excellent tutorial..very pleasant, great tips and techniques, well done!

Great tutorial!! I love the purse.

Great video!!! Thanks!

Super job of teaching this!

Great teacher!

Very well done.very pretty

Terrific! Thanks

Very nice video! Such easy to follow, detailed instructions! You make it look so easy! I can’t wait to see what you bring to us next! 💛🌻💛

An excellent tutorial, nicely paced. Will have a go at making the bag with supplies I have on hand as I live in Europe and shipping is not easy at the moment. i am looking forward to more tutorials from Jessica.

Very good explanations!

very well done great teacher

She is doing a very well ☺

Bag series? Love it.

It’s a cute little bag

Lovely bag! I wish the kit was Today’s Daily Deal! 😉

Love the tutorial, very easy to follow and helped me get over a sewing rut. I was so excited to make this for an upcoming trip. Then, even more disappointed when I tried to purchase the pattern only to find that it's not available. Kind of ruined my day to be honest. I still look forward to making it someday when the pattern is available.

So cute. It’s small for my every day use but good for those days you just want to carry a smaller bag or as my mom says, “Pocket Book”

What's next in the series? Excited to get started.

Excellent presenter!

Jessica is quite as all get out! I need to start quilting! ;-)

I’ve got some fat quarters sitting around. I bet I could use them to make bags for my friends for Christmas. I’m a slow sewist, so I’ll need to start now in June 😀

Jessica- you are a wonderful teacher! You did an excellent job with the details you gave and made me feel this is something I could tackle. I tend to steer away from thick projects like this!!

Love this bag..cute as a button..

Just watched the Mia Bag video and was impressed at Jessica's teaching skill. I'm trying to decide is I will order a kit through MSQ or purchase the pattern and get the supplies locally. Liked some of the fabric/leather combinations that have already sold out. Will there be any additional kits offered with different combinations? Thanks again for the tutorial.

I love this bag. Very sad to see sold out and only in print version. With exchange rates and sky high shipping fees it would have been nice to have a PDF option

Cute bag! You can reduce bulk in the side seam by NOT topstitching past your zipper tabs. Don't think you mentioned that. Apologies if you did. You're a solid teacher!

I think the key part is trimming the seam allowance before you turn the bag right side out to debulk.

Loved the video. Very clear instructions, and great tips for success. I have one question, though; the pattern says that some useful additional items (which I then purchased) were the "handmade" hardware, rivets, rivet tool, purse "feet," etc. You did mention the purse "feet," but not the rivets. I assume they would replace the stitching in the strap, but do you use two on each side? Thanks for a great tutorial. Can't wait to make the bag.

I used a wooden orange stick, after my stiletto scratched the faux leather!

Great video! What type/weight thread did you use?

Enjoyed the video and thought I would try to make it. Big mistake to get excited because the pattern is not available. Will it become available anytime soon?

When will the bag be available again?

This is so very cute! I tried to order the pattern this morning only to learn it's already sold out! Will there be more?!

You can probably make your own pattern. Find a bag style similar and measure width and length plus seam allowances. Also length of side angles. Good luck. You tube might have a tutorial on how to make a pattern from existing bag

Hi, Great tutorial! However, I can't find the fabric measurements anywhere? How do I get these? For example, the strap length? Thanks!

I made this bag today and it turned out lovely EXCEPT for the cross body strap. I wants to twist up almost like a corkscrew (not that severe but that type of twist). I've straightened it several times and it twists right back up. Any suggestions?

What size is the finished bag? Is it larger than the Dorothy Wristlet? It looks great with the mixed media!

What weight tread did you use to sew the bag with?

I made the bag yesterday and love how it turned out. Your instructions and video are so clear to follow. The only problem I had was when I was sewing the exterior panels together at the end and the two foam sides wouldn't move through my machine. I ended up putting a piece of freezer paper on either side to help it glide and then tearing off the paper. Not a great solution, but it worked. What am I doing wrong? do I need a special foot, or just a better machine?

Was the problem the thickness of the foam? Maybe a Jean a ma jig would help. I've never used one myself, but it is a simple tool used when sewing together thick fabrics. It's usually used on Jean hems, but I've heard of people using them on all types of thick seams? I wouldn't do a very good job explaining how it works, but there are lots of videos you could watch.

I used my walking foot and that helped a lot!

Where is the link to order the patterns for this series?

What type of thread are you using on this?

At my seams it looks like my stitches are having a hard time (being stretched a little) hopefully it stays. Is there something I can do the next time to where it doesn't put so much stress on the seam? Double stitch maybe in SA?

Do you use just regular sewing thread?

What thread did you use?

When will the pattern be available? Shows out of stock as of 6/16/22.

Such a cute bag! What model machine you are using?
