Hi. If I want to use webbing what size would I use?
Top stitching is so sexy. I love it hahahahah
Love the new shop!
💖
I love your new shop! Happy for you and Adam. You’ve worked really hard; you deserve it! I LOVE the brushed brass as you can tell by my orders. 💜
I don't understand why I have to purchase the PDF pattern in order to buy the acrylic template. Can someone tell me why?
The price for the PDF pattern goes to us as the designers. We don’t receive anything for the acrylic templates. When you purchase the acrylic templates you are paying for the materials and manufacturing of the templates, and not the original design.
@CountryCowDesigns I see. Thanks for the response!
Congratulations
thanks for this amazingly informative video - I do lots of 3D printing and have been making jewellery, keyrings etc. Recently I've been experimenting with how to incorporate it into bags and was struggling with the rivets - your video is so helpful, factual and easy to follow. Brilliant!
✂️💕This was a fun make! Your instructions are so thorough, my bag turned out beautifully! Thanks SEW Much!🌟🥰
You are so welcome!
Hi. Thank you for such a watchable tutorial video. I have just received some of your beautiful water resistant canvas fabric, and would like to make this pattern in it. Would you use it as it is, or would you interface it please? Many thanks. Lesley.
For the exterior fabric I would use a light interfacing. But you could use it without though if you wanted an easier sew. I wouldn’t interface it if I was using for the lining.
@@CountryCowDesigns thank you.
Great pattern and tutorial. We use it as a shopping bag and believe it would have been more practical if it was wider and a bit lower. For a short person it is a bit too high. I will make a new one with other measurement, but the same closure.
Approximately what size cut would be appropriate for this build? Is a single shoulder sufficient?
countrycowdesigns.com/product/no-sew-clutch-16 On our shop it lists what materials you will need 👍🏼
I bought your pattern and made the bag. What a thorough explanation in your video and written pattern! Your hard work is appreciated!
Thanks 😃
This is excellent
Sew awesome🧵✅
The website wouldn’t let me purchase pattern
Can you email us at [email protected] and we’ll be able to help
Ive been doing leatherwork in various forms for about 20yrs. From tooling to modeling to bag making and i have to say that this is one of the best designs I've seen for a no sew, riveted handbag. As simple as it is, its well thought and doesn't look like the assembly with rivets is an afterthought. The rivets are design elements and part of its character. And, the Brogue patternleading to the rivets is inspired. Very well done👏 Imma go check your other stuff out now😁
Thanks ☺️
REUSED BOX, BEST THING EVER❣️ Every few moments I fall in love w/your shop all over again🥰
I’m so happy for both of you and wish you all the success in the world with this new venture. It seems like a reason to visit Cornwall to me! I have made several of your bag , including the new hip bag, and they are a joy to follow and always work out well. I’d love to follow a live! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations guys. Your shop looks Amazing. I’m sure you will do an Amazing trade there. Yes you must do live sew alongs! I’m all for that. The very Best Of Luck in your new adventure 🎉
Well done guys. I've been following you for a while now. I'm so pleased for you. I love your hardware - definitely the best quality you could find, and so looking forward to the silver (as I prob use that the most). Wish I lived closer so I could come in. Maybe open another shop in Wiltshire just for me?!? Very best of luck to you all. Mandy.
One day 😜
Thank you love your shop - I will visit if ever I can travel over seas. You do a wonderful job with your videos. Carolyn
Thank you so much!
So excited for you both! Congratulations!!!!
Congrats what a great space.
Congratulations it looks like a beautiful shop 😊
Lovely! When I visit the UK in my future travels, your shop is one place I’d like to see! 💖
Congratulations to you both. I love the shop. That paint color is my favorite. I wish I could come and browse but I am in the US. That little gift bag tote is a great idea. Question. Do you ship to the US? Those bag kits look intriguing. I do love the lives you did but I understand the stress that comes along. Maybe pre recorded as premieres? That way you can still interact and chatters can ask questions, as needed in a sew-along. Anyway, been a fan from day one. Wishing you all the best. 👍👍👍
Thanks. Yes we do ship to the USA 👍🏼
Oh this is wonderful! Congratulations!p to you both! ❤❤❤
Lovely new shop and would love to do the live sew along!
Kai scissors make good fabric scissors look shitty in comparison. They are amazing. They cut through anything material/leather with such ease. They are a little costly but worth every penny. Please get yourself some if your looking for scissors. Love your shop and your patterns. Thanks and congrats.
Thank you so much for your tour in your new fantastic shop. I hope I can come and visit it one day, I live in Denmark so it's far away, but still😊 Yes please do a live sew a long😊❤❤
The domestic machines recommended in the video are not on par with the semi-industrial machines from Juki, Brother or Janome (they can be purchased on Amazon US, some for less than a half price if compared to Germany). You can use them to make bags and everything else, but they have significant limitations. The only inexpensive machine that makes sense for bag making is the Singer 201. Spare parts are not a problem, this machine doesn't break, except maybe the motor. The Singer 201 does a great job, but it is by no means better than a modern semi-industrial sewing machine. Because it is completely mechanical, made of metal and masterfully crafted, it will last longer than any modern sewing machine - that is the only difference.
Congratulations and good luck with the shop. Thank you for your help and support when I emailed the other evening. Kim
Best of luck to you on your new shop. It looks wonderful!! ❤
hey is this machine can use for jute bags?
It will be fine for the material. Jute bags tend to have exterior seams on the sides which can be tricky sometimes on a flatbed machine though
Just come across your channel and I’m loving the aesthetic of your shop
Thank you so much!!
So happy for you both!! Congratulations.
It’s videos like this where I wish you tube would add a ❤ option. I’m so happy for you two.
Thanks 😃
Perranporth is one of my most favourite places and we try to visit as often as we can. Would love to pop in next time I'm down. I wish you huge success with your new venture x
Congrats on a lovely shop - will definitely be paying you a visit when I am next on holiday in the area!
Exciting! For scissors, try if you can KAI brand--amazing quality you & customers will live to use! (Though Olfa still better for rotary blades--years of leather work & garment sewing). I like your hardware display/drawers. Be sure to fix the pieces well since folks will pull on the item like it's a drawer pull & pops off! (Have seen this in some shops & even guilty myself of thinking a display was functional 😂). Ohhh, a Juki? I have a big industrial, but last fall added a Juki TL18QVP for lighter work (and garments, though still have 5 others... But Juki is great. And great to have the hand presses! Hint: color code the dies by size! I used tape)sharpies, and makes it so easy to get which I need (also color coding my rivet bins helps with matching them up to the die!)
love it we live in the north east of Scotland we will definitely have a trip down to see you. All l the very best and good luck with your venture.
Thumbs up for lives. We all mistakes so please don’t feel the need to edit xx
Congratulations on your new shop! You have to be over the moon! I am sure it will be a huge success! Enjoy the journey!
Found your video and your shop today . It’s beautiful ! Well done 😊will look at the website . X
Thank you so much!
Much luck in your new shop. I’m not a bag maker, I make quilts, but it looks like you have much to offer everyone. Good luck!
Congratulations. It’s been exciting to watch your business grow and evolve over the years. I also love all of Adam’s touches. Love the idea of having customers stop in to sew on your shop machines!😊❤🎉
Thanks so much!
The shop looks great. Another reason for me to move back to Cornwall 😊 even though we are down most weekends, I need to catch you on a Friday. I shall be visiting very soon.
Congratulations on your new shop. 👏
Congratulations!
