You explain things SO CLEARLY. Of all the video's I ever watched, you are the ONLY ONE who ever explained about how the zipper needs to be folded in half toward the lining side before sewing it together, THANKS. Mary Wombacher from Altoona, Pennsylvania 😀
Really great project & fabulous tutorial! Explains really well & doesn’t go too fast. Many thanks , just what I have been looking for. Will start on this very soon. Cheers from Western Australia. Cheers 😘🥰❤️😍😊💕
Adorable project, Deanna! I simply love cross-body bags. This is perfect for someone traveling overseas to keep not only their cellphone, but also their passport close!
I loved this video, and I think you are a great sewer. I used to sew alot when my kids were young, I made a lot of their clothes both boys and girls, not to mention own. My baby is 36, I have also sewed for my grandkids. I am from New Orleans, did a lot of costumes for the Mardi Gras Krewes. Not to mention costumes for family. I just stopped sewing about six years ago. You make me what to start sewing again. I have already been to hobby lobby and joann for fabric. You do really good work and I like watching all of you videos. Thank you for sharing your time and project with all of us...😊
Just finished my bag as I sewed along with you. So cute! I appreciated your clear directions and that you spoke slowly so I could keep up with you. Now "sew" many to make for friends for Christmas gifts. Thank you
Loved this cross-body bag, but needed to make a couple adjustments for myself. First I made it a little wider and added card pockets for my ID and credit cards, and made the pocket to hold my inhaler. Finished bag is only 7.25" x 8"! I did forget to put the loops on for the strap so, I made them into a 1" x 1.5" rectangle and hand sewed them on the back. Of course I do have one made from your original pattern too. Just love your ideas.
Awesome job! Just FYI I use an old machine needle to pop out my corners after I have gone as far as I can pushing them out and turning right side out, the shape of the needle makes it easy to hold and doesn’t bend. I keep it on my pin cushion just for this purpose. Happy sewing Debbie from Weatherford, Texas
I DID IT...I followed along with your video and I sewed a nice bag for my daughter...ITs not perfect, but like you I LOVE sewing and I’m going to keep trying!!! It was awesome to be able to pause the video and do the steps by step...Thanks again...So glad I found your channel.....BIG HUGS!!!! 🤗
I just finished mine and I used camouflage material, added a front, lower zipper pouch. I also added an inside pocket, and made the straps 3/4 wide because my D rings were 3/4 inch. It came out fantastic. Great idea!
I love watching your craft fair videos, but I especially love your sewing videos, you are a great sewing instructor,. You explain things so well ..thank you!!
This was a great, detailed tutorial. I love this project. You are a very good instructor. I subscribed to your channel because of your teaching skills. Thank you so much for sharing your gift and talents with us.
You are such a great teacher Deanna. Thank you so much. I have made cross body bags but I do get confused each time on the adjustable straps. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I am excited to make my next one, Thanks to you. TYFS!!!
These are beautiful, thanks for sharing the tutorial. Happy they were all purchased at their first show. You have such great tutorials and I enjoy each one.
This is such an awesome and easy project! I will be making one for myself and several for my mom, mother in law, sisters and sister in law! Thank you so much for sharing sweetie!!! Have a wonderful day and may God bless you and your wonderful family!
Deanna, that is so cute. I am going to do a zipper! I have sewn for many years, but have always avoided them! haha I need to break my fear and do it! I have granddaughters who would love one of these for Christmas! Thank you for a great tutorial!
So cute! Love that plaid fabric. I love that you are making more sewing videos💕. today I made little bags for a corn hole game for my hubby and kids and was thinking of your tutorials 😊
Thank you for this. I've actually had somebody ask me about doing something like this but haven't found a pattern I like. This looks to be easy to make and I already have all the materials I would need.
You are a true blessing with your videos. Wish we were neighbors. I just found your channel, I'm hooked and now subscribed!!!! Keep up the awesome work, you got this CZcams thing cuz ur a natural. Thank you again... Barb from Hereford, AZ
I to just discovered your videos also. Awesome video. I love how you go through all the sewing steps and actually shows you sewing it. I’m gonna make these for my granddaughters for Christmas 🎄 😊😊
Just love your video tutorials helps me so much I'm in Australia and we have Queens Birthday in June and October a long weekend hope you enjoyed your day Thank you ⭐🤗⭐
Thank you for giving such a great tutorial! I have a brand new sewing machine and I think one of these will be my first real project. Yikes! Once I figure out how to get the tension adjusted...lol! 😂
Thanks for taking the time to make this is easy to follow. I was wondering how much addition time it would take to add an additional small pocket on the front side with a zipper to hold credit card and drivers license, place a lipstick inside and cell phone. I would never need my purse again to run errors or walking around town window shopping. love it and thanks for sharing.
Growing up we had Poppy Day. Though poppy’s were sold for over a week before , think it was on a Saturday ? Don’t remember getting a celebration ..ALSO we had Remembrance Sunday to honor our hero’s who were killed in action .....
Just found you today and enjoy everything I've watched. You had a suggested price for one of your crafts and I thought that was VERY helpful, since I have no idea what to charge. Then, I saw another craft I'm interested in making, but it was without a suggested price. In the event I ever make things to be sold at a craft fair, your price suggestions would help me. I would appreciate your help in how to put a price on items for a fair. Thank you.
Hey Deanna what is the measurement of the strap piece not the extra piece but the original strap that you pick up first, if you could please let me know😀
You explain things SO CLEARLY. Of all the video's I ever watched, you are the ONLY ONE who ever explained about how the zipper needs to be folded in half toward the lining side before sewing it together, THANKS. Mary Wombacher from Altoona, Pennsylvania 😀
Aww thank you

Deanna, you've knocked it out of the park with this project! I can't wait to make some for my girls to use at the amusement parks this summer! TFS! 😉
platinumdiva75 thank you!
Enjoyed. Memorial Day a day of reflection, thankful for those you gave all sew we could be FREE
If you leave your zipper open you won’t have to leave an opening for turning. Saves you a step !! Thanks for this great tutorial !!
you do need an opening and the zipper open as the zipper is inside and not accessible from the outside till the bag is turned
Yes you do have to unzip half way or you can’t turn it
Beautiful material, beautiful color, beautiful job. Thank you for sharing.😎
Great idea! This doesn't look too hard to make. You always come up with such great ideas. Thanks for sharing with us.
Donna Satterlee Thank you

Gail B. Dole awesome!
I’m from Arkansas! I heard you mention Arkansas in this video! 😁❤️
Hello Arkansas!
I love it! And love the fabric. Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!! Happy Memorial Day🇺🇸
Growing up we had Poppy Day. Though poppy’s were sold for over a week before , think it was on a Saturday ? Don’t remember getting a celebration ..ALSO we had Remembrance Sunday to honor our hero’s who were killed in action .....
I like that, thank you.
That is soooo adorable!!! I was wondering about cutting off the zipper or not (I'm not a sewer but would love to learn) but you answered my question.
Great instructions, what size needle do you use?
❤️❤️❤️
❤️
Invisible thread? Is that the nylon kind? It melts in the dryer when you launder the garment!
Where do you get the little iron. It is so handy.
Hello Deanna! Thank you for another great tutorial. What kind of interfacing do you use for the bag? Thank you!
I'd like to see how it looks like on a person. Could you add that to the video somehow? Thanks!
Great tutorial! What type of interfacing do you use for the bag straps? Thank you.
Just found you today and enjoy everything I've watched. You had a suggested price for one of your crafts and I thought that was VERY helpful, since I have no idea what to charge. Then, I saw another craft I'm interested in making, but it was without a suggested price. In the event I ever make things to be sold at a craft fair, your price suggestions would help me. I would appreciate your help in how to put a price on items for a fair. Thank you.
Welcome!
What is the interfacing you use? Does it come in a roll?
I wondered that as well... But it looks like a cotton interfacing for the bag itself and a light to medium weight craft interfacing for the straps.
Hi Deanna! You have 2 pieces of interfacing? It looks like cotton batting. What type did you purchase? Is it a fusible cotton batting? Thickness?
Yes fusible cotton batting
Thanku
If you were to sell these, would you keep them hanging out or place them in a clear bag
Hey Deanna what is the measurement of the strap piece not the extra piece but the original strap that you pick up first, if you could please let me know😀
Making!
Love this idea can you share how much your selling them for?
She did. She states it in the beginning of the video. $22
Who taught you to sew. I think I need to have someone show me in person. You are an amazing crafter!
Cristi Crafts I actually watched my mom some when I was a kid but pretty much just taught myself Thank you!
This was 41, the ceramic tile was 40. Just thought I'd point that out so you can keep track.
Kelly Lynn thank you! I’ll fix that
