I love this bag. I love the size. I have always carried a large bag all my life so many of the crossbody bags are small. I would like to see how you do the top zippers to where the corners aren’t curved. Thank you for all your demonstrations.

I love this! Can you please explain how you would sew it with directional fabric? And how to put Kam snaps on? I'm not sure which direction to place the snaps on the directional fabric. I seem to make everything more complicated! 😬 Thank you so much! 😍

is the lining placed face down RST on the fashion fabric before sewing? your lining was the same on both sides so I was nervous to start sewing

Are the two rows of stitching right on top of each other?

where did you get your lables?

Loved watching you batch sew all those cute little bags. I prefer the camera angle you used today. I did have to go back and watch a previous one lol. Very nice and clear. X

Thank you for being so clear and concise. And the close up views help immensely!!

❤ what a great idea thanks

Lovely bag Christine. Please will you share the finished size of the bag. Many thanks. :-)

You make attaching sliders so easy. Unless the quality of continous zip in Aus is superior to ours that is available in Zambia, Africa. I really struggle. And have to tug away at the ends, Sometimes the zipper frays somuch I have to recut ends to straighten them up. Any suggestions, I would really appreciate thankyou

This is the best instruction I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. Thank you so much🥰

Thank you for your wonderful videos, so inspiring!!

Mixing the single sew along with additional instructions for bulk sewing made it rather confusing to me. Although I do understand why you would do it this way for people farther along… for newer sewers it just added “extra words” in between our instructions that we had to decipher out what we needed to do and what was not relevant. Not complaining but you always say that you like feedback. And the new camera angle was fine, imo.

Hi from Qld. I am in the process of making a bag with a zipper at the top of the bag. The zipper is cut longer, and pushes down into the side of the bag. Then when you want to open up the bag wider, you pull the zipper out. What I would like to see your way of doing the zipper ends. I hope that all makes sense.

Christine, cute bag. I love the heat press! What a nightmare to Armand there with an iron trying to get fusible fleeces and foams to look nice. I have a sewing question. I know you’re a pattern maker like me. I’m making a serger cover from an idea I saw and I made a pattern but I’ve run it to a huge problem. I sewed the front piece to the side pieces and now I’m trying to get the back sewn on. The problem is I can’t figure out how to get the 3 pieces together. I tried cutting back the seam allowance from the two pieces that are already connected but my brain is just completely frozen because I can’t remember how to add the 3rd piece. Any ideas. Heeeeeeelp!

If you were to do even a clothing bag of sorts those hangers would work nicely.

I liked the other camera angle better.

Hi Christine, another great tutorial. I also preferred the old camera angle, it lets you see the needle and is closer. The new angle seemed a bit blurry. Also, those hooks would be great for a hanging travel cosmetic/ toiletry bag!

Hi! If you don’t have interfacing can another piece of fabric work?

Two more comments that experienced "fabric engineers" probably already know but may be useful for those beginning: 1. I want the sharpest corner possible (especially with many layers of fabric), so when I come to the corner I drop the needle and put in one or two diagonal stitches before turning 90 degrees and continuing. This provides me with some wiggle room and cannot be seen as anyting except a shart 90 degree angle once turned. Of course, clip the corners to remove as much bulk as is safe. 2. When turning inside out, I have often distorted the corners. Easy fix: add a little steam, place fingers just below the corner and pull sideways in both directions. Tada! 90 degrees again.

So cute!! Thanks!

I love, love this very useful bag! Great design! You asked if we think it needs two sets of handles. I personally think it does need two sets, but the interior handles might be of better use is shorter. Again, great job! You do such good work and I love your innovative spirit!

Just finished making the surprise bag and it turned out great! Unfortunately the top part of the pocket was too narrow to fit my phone across so I will make it an inch wider with the next bag. Love your easy step by step instructions as always! 😊🥰

this is a really nice and clean tutorial! thank you so much! I have some questions. What fabrics do you recommned? I'm sure something stratchy wouldn do too good with the spinning. :D I bought a dapo star years ago. It was hand made but i think ive got scammed. Its soooo heavy and thick - the edges are ugly, used two separete fabric not one piece covering the edges nicely and i needed to sewn it myself a little bit but im still not satisfied...thats why search for a tutorial and im planning to make a new by myself.

I was getting ready for bed but now I need to go make this bag!

You are a lifesaver!

Hi, love watching and learning from you. Can you tell me the measurements of the bag. Each fabric was 11 1/2 by what? Thank you😊

I love the bag and the size of it. I know you may have answered this question already, but what kind of machine do you use. It sewed through that bulk easily...

Fabulous video looking forward to making these bags ❤

thank you love the idea

Do you lay the lining right side down on the fabric bag?

Thank you for another great episode, Christine ❤

You two are absolutely adorable together...luv

Om goodness love the bag process nit so sure lol...luv

What a wonderful idea!!! And such a lovely gift idea for friends!! Thank you so much Christine…….love it!! 😁🥰

Love your demonstration, very easy to follow.

Another good video Christine I like the old camera angle better it is much clearer

Love your tips. I just bought labels from winder labels that you recommended

years ago i made a cushion using this method, i love the idea of making a pouch

The hangers from the upholstery sample would be good for hanging up a toiletry bag as well. Just a thought. Happy Sewing!!

Those turned out really great! Love knowing that I am batch sewing the best way. Another fabulous video.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want the blue one lol 🪡🪡🪡🪡👝👝👝😁🥰🥰🥰🥰

Make a travel, fold up, toiletry bag or make-up kit (you know the kind, with the little zippered sections?) and use your hooks for the hangers!

I going to make these for my neighbors this year. Plan to put their initial or monogram on the front. Fingers crossed. Waiting for my health to get a second wind. lol. Thanks for all the terrific project ideas you share with us. ❤

Love all the colours they look great, thank you as always love your work and look forward to seeing your next the video.😊

Can you please do a video on how to do a fleecy hat, with calculations and measurements for shaping the head. Thank you so much.

Hi Christine, An awesome video, yet again. Thank you. 🙏

Love your tutorials and how you explain your work process. Beautiful bags!

As always very clear instructions and great advice, thank you, Christine, oh and old camera position is a better angle,

You always give the very best tutorials! Thank you for that. Either camera angle was good for me. I'm kind of wondering if boxed corners can be done with French seams?
