Very elegant
I have watched many of your later tutorials and they are fantastic. Realise it’s a bit late to comment, but, so much better without the music which is so distracting when I am trying so hard to concentrate. Really pleased you don’t have any on now. I have learned a great deal watching your bag-making, thank you so much. Very best wishes .
Wonderful information, I liked your professional approach. Thanks for a lot of information in a shortish video.
Thank you
Ps Decovil lite
Can I box corners if I have used deco in light as a stabiliser. Thank you for your tutorials, they are so thorough and really help x
Yes, use with any stabiliser Decovil Light included. If you have an entry level machine and worried about layers and bulk you can cut the stabiliser out of the corner sections beneath where you are sewing.
Gorgeous! 🤩
Thank you!! 😊
Love it 🥰
Thanks! 🤗
@@SpencerOgg you’re welcome 😊
I really enjoy all your tutorials. What types of thread do you use for your bags sewn on your domestic machine? Which type holds up well but doesn't jam up your machine? Thanks.
I use 100% polyester thread for bag making. Gutterman Sew-All seems to work best with my Janome machine. Thank you! Glad you are enjoying 😊 Why not join my bag sewing Facebook Group for more and to discuss all things bag-making: facebook.com/groups/spencerogg
what if i have zero adjustable sides:(
Hmm, not sure I have seen those, don't know how to help sorry
Fun project! I’ll be making this! I see that you and I are sewing on the exact same machine. I would LOVE tips on bag-making with this machine. Mine does not like thick fabrics. It greatly struggles on the thick parts even when i use a hump-jumper. Tips please!!
Gosh I love mine, I find it one of the best domestic machines going. Use the Accufeed foot all the time where you can and try a microtex needle if you are using vinyl. I reviewed the machine here: www.spencerogg.com/sewing-machine-review-janome-atelier/
Your explanation is very clear. Thank you.!!!
Genius Thanks for the tip
Happy to help!
Excellent tutorial!! I’ll never be afraid to do straps again. Thank you!
Great! why not join my sewing Facebook board for help and support with my patterns, free stuff, to post your pics and general bag making chat: facebook.com/groups/spencerogg
Thank you for sharing. You have a very lovely space to imagine and create.
Thank you so much!
Diane can you make your version of the “magnetic running buddy” bag with magnetic flap in the back . my sister has one it looks like the double pouch inside but also has a fold over magnetic flap in the back ..I thought hmm I should ask Diane if she can make a tutorial. It’s nice for those of us that walk / run and don’t want a bag bouncing around their waist 🙂. I haven’t see a tutorial on it anywhere
Just add magnets to the inside sections of my free Twin Pouch and voila! kzread.info/dash/bejne/dn6uurJyg8LgnJc.html
Emmm what is this gorgeous nail varnish? I need to match rainbow rivets too 🫢
It was a khaki green with chrome powder over the top :)
Am I detecting a new pattern tease as well?
I'm saying nothing 🤣🤣
@@SpencerOgg❤😮🎉
Never 😂😂
🤣 perhaps I shouldn't either 🤣
Have you used a metal zip
No, its a metal look nylon coil zip. Try to avoid sewing over metal zips where possible :) Nylon coil zips are great for bag making, look for number 5 for outers and number 3 for linings in general
Thank you
love it , but If I wanted to make it a little less square how would I go about doing that?
You can slice the pattern pieces across the middle and add an inch or two in if you want it to be taller
Oh I love this , can't wait to try it! Thank you
Enjoy xoxo
How would one use this idea, but on a solid, one piece of material, by folding over the edges to create the skirt? Or is it just better to cut the material, only to have to sew it back to the same area where I cut it from? I'm making a basic rectangle canopy for a little wagon for our doggie. LOL
You can use the method shown in this video with separate sides for a proper fitted cover (and save on fabric) or you can use one piece and, as you say, just fold the fabric down and stitch diagonal corners which would be a quicker and simpler method. Both will work :)
@@SpencerOgg Thank you.
Always time for tea and biscuits
😂😂
You are absolutely a lifesaver thank you so much
Happy to help!
Shame you charge for this pattern. I don’t have, need or want a Facebook account where you have the free pattern. Not everyone wants or has time for a social media presence 😩
feel free to sign up to my newsletter, the freebies come around on there too
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
The link for the PDF doesn’t work anymore. How could I get it at this time? Such a cool double pouch!

Oh! Merci beaucoup pour cette merveilleuse explication tout au long de cette vidéo . Tellement contente d'avoir appris grâce à vous comment attacher et ajuster la fixation. Je vais garder précieusement cette vidéo dans mes favoris. Et grâce à cette vidéo j'en ai profité aussi pour amélioré mon anglais. Mille mercis et à bientôt .
Glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks
What I like most about your tutorial is using a bright color webbing that I can see against the black buckle. So easy to follow with the red webbing. Great video!
Thank you
I've only just found you this morning June 2024! I really like your tutorials and lovely clear instructions. I'm going to make the coin purse and cosmetic pod today! Thank you for the free patterns, that helps so much, with the cost of materials going up so much, it makes life and our hobby a little more affordable. Thank you.
Glad you are enjoying the patterns :) Please feel free to subscribe to my newsletter for a monthly roundup of what’s been happening, freebies, offers and competitions www.spencerogg.com/join-mailing-list/
what an incredible video! I was curious as to which fabrics I can use... and if I can use the ones I have at home already (mostly quilt cotton). The only question I have is... if I am buying woven fabrics, should I pre-wash these before using them to make bags? It's not necessarily so I can wash the bags later on since I probably won't throw them into the laundry- except my grocery/shopping bags. But more for pre-shrinking it in case the fabric gets wet somehow. Thank you again for this brilliant video!
there are a few different views on this, but personally I never feel a fabric looks quite as crisp after washing and I never pre-wash. I do however steam fabrics quite heavily before cutting out to pre-shrink them
Thank you so much! I will steam them instead from now on. I've already pre-washed what I have.
I appreciate that you did the close-up of this video. Thank you for these great Instructions.
I bought the pattern, no instructions in the video on what to do with the small baguette?? Is there supposed to be a pocket inside?
Please check your written instruction document, the instructions for the small are at the end. Do join my Facebook sewing group to ask if there is anything you need help with facebook.com/groups/spencerogg
Thank you for sharing. Can I ask what type of needle is needed for this type of fabric? Thank you
I was using a regular size 70 needle - nothing special :)
@@SpencerOgg thank you so much🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love mock croc! So hard to get a decent one though.
I got this one on Amazon here. It was quite expensive and wasn't wrapped/folded well when it arrived, however - a bit of pressing on the back and it looks really good. amzn.to/3x6mj0E
@@SpencerOgg thanks Diane! I will order some although I’ll have to sneak it in when the delivery comes 😂
@@maggiemay961 😂 😂 😂
Excellent tutorial 👌. Thank you.
Thanks glad you enjoyed x
How do you keep it straight? Ive ruined so much leather
Put the blind hemming foot on your machine and move your needle to the left, it will help you keep a perfectly constant distance :)
Sewing pattern is the Harris Tote decreased in height.
Where’s the pattern? Would love to make several of these.
Scroll down to the text under the video and you will find the link there :)
I’m gonna try one of these cute podlets. They’re cute

Where do you get the pattern for the large pink bag ? 💝
You can get the whole pack here: www.spencerogg.com/product/felt-projects/
For some reason every video I watched of this confused me aside from yours. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad! Thank you
