You explain everything so well ,I can actually sew .I am so grateful I found you.For so many years I have wanted to insert a zipper and with your help I have been able to .Thank you so very much
You are very welcome, enjoy your new skill . Happy sewing!😊
I have to tell you Marcela...I just completed this bag ten minutes ago and had to make sure and tell you thank you (again) for sharing your talent with us! It came out so nice for someone who has only been sewing for less than a year. I am self taught, and only because my children bought me a Project Runway sewing machine about 6 yrs ago and I finally took it out of the box last year cuz I was so intimidated by learning the process. My Gramma died when my Mom (God rest their souls)was only three years old so she never learned to sew (altho I do remember her embroidering a hankee one day). So here I am at 63 yrs of age and after trying a few zipper pouches I thought I'd try one of your beautiful bags. I'm going to use it to put my zippers in that I purchased to make more bags and pouches lol. I wish I could share a pic with you all cuz it's beautiful. My kids and Grandkids will be surprised! Thank you again Marcela , I can't wait to try another of your projects....and sorry for the super long post here, I'm excited LOL
I thank you for sharing your story. It is so motivating to know that I can inspire others. I am self taught, too, and the joy after finishing a project is huge. I do hope you continue. If you wish, you can send me picture via Facebook (messenger) or Instagram. Happy sewing!😊
You do such a nice job of explaining how to make that bag. Thank you! It is just adorable! Love the fabric!
Thank you for your comment, happy sewing 😊
Great tutorial. You’re a great teacher. 👍
Thank you 😊
Thank you for making this video response so quickly. You are an amazing seamstress! The bag you crafted is stunning. I just started learning to sew in the last month. I am using CZcams to learn. I love your channel. I feel like a good friend or family member is teaching me. I am going to use your pattern and try to make a bag this weekend. Again, thank you.
It is so nice of you to say that, I love what I do and I remember the frustration when I was learning, I came across so many books and tutorials that would show one particular pattern without explaining methods or reasons, so I could only do that particular item. After many mistakes, I realised that simple maths and geometry have plenty to do in the creation of a pattern. 😃
I hope you find more inspiration in my channel . Happy sewing and thank you very much. 😉
i cannot agree more, it feels like a good friend is teaching you ❤
You explain everything so well and take the time to show how for people who are just beginning to sew. Thank you for your time and tutorials ☺️👍☺️ Oh fabric is great too ☺️
I am so glad , thank you for watching 😊😊😊
I have made a beautiful holdall.Thank you for a perfect tutorial you are a lovely demonstrator. ❤
I am glad that you liked this tutorial, happy sewing 😊
We love your videos Marcela, you have such a lovely relaxed manner and explain things wonderfully! thank you so much! x
You are welcome! And thank you for being here. 😊
Wow a gorgeous bag - love the shape. I've just finished making it with denim fabric and red & white check lining. Your instructions are fantastic - nice and concise without rushing. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for taking the time and telling me about your project. I like your choice of fabrics, it must look very nice.
Happy sewing! 😊
Thank you even though the tutorial is more than 3 years old it is a very well explained and demonstrated sewing project. I am very happy with the results of the final bag. I fully plan on making at least 2 more. I will view other videos by Marcela in the very near future. I highly recommend this project.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing this pattern with us. This is one of my favorite tutorials you have made so far. I made a few alterations to your pattern and added a zipper pocket to this bag design and a tiny tab on the side pocket for me to clip my keychain. Thank you again.
You are welcome and thank you very much. I like to know how people make my projects their own and add different details to them 😊 . Happy sewing! 😊
Thanks a lot for a great tutorial! I love your fabric choice (as always).
Thank you ! 😊
Thank you for very well explained tutorial
EXACTLY what I was looking for!! And I don't have to be an engineer to put it together. Bonus! Thanks so much for sharing this video.
You are welcome 😊
Very clear and easy to follow along! I love pockets on bags and this will be perfect for my needs!
Excellent, happy sewing!
I have never been able to find the perfect bag for my flute and my band folder, and this is giving me lots of ideas. Great tutorial!
I am happy to know 😊 . Happy sewing!
Thank you for your tutorial. You have explained it very thoroughly. I can’t wait to make it 💕
Great! I hope you make it soon. 😊
Thank you for your boxed bag with handles!! I can hardly wait for morning so l can make this. Your tutorial is great!
Enjoy the project 😆
Thank you for a fab bag and very clear easy to understand instructions plus the ability for different sizes and for your time much appreciated ec.
You are welcome, thank you for your comment 😊
Thank you Marcela. you explained everything step by step very clearly
You are very welcome, thank you for your comment 😊
Excellent tutorial. I was able to make a make up bag with slightly different dimensions for my daughter which turned out so beautiful. Thank you!
I am glad to hear that, I aim to show techniques that people can adapt to their preferences 😊. Thank you.
Thank you so much for supplying the measurements and not requiring a pattern to be bought. I don’t mind buying the patterns if reasonable and the ones posted on Etsy are usually reasonably priced but I have purchased the PDF patterns on Etsy and it is a nightmare getting the downloads and trying to get help is even worse. That is why I thank you and can’t wait to make this bag.
You are welcome, I understand the feeling, I am self taught, that is why I like to share and help people learn and understand techniques. Happy sewing! 😊
I love making these bags. Thank you for the tutorial. I added a long strap as well as the smaller ones Love it
I am glad to know that my tutorial is useful and that you customised to your preference, Happy sewing! 😊
Very clever design and clear instructions
This is wonderful! This is exactly what I was looking for, for a postpartum bag for me to carry my things in! Wonderful explanation! Thank you!
You are welcome! What a wonderful time for you, all the best for you and your baby 😊
I like the way you explained. I clearly understand. Thank you so much.
You are welcome 😊
Just what i need. Love the fabric.
😊😊😊 the fabric is from Amy Butler. Happy sewing!
I’ve made a few now! Very good instructions, turned out perfect! Thank you!
That is great! Thank you for telling me 😊😊😊. Hope you will make many more.
Love this bag! Thank you!
Nice tutorial
Amazing tutorial! Thank you!
@@Sherry1992 You are welcome 😊
I ended up designing a 15 x 10 x 10 following your video, thanks so much. I made it in paper to put it together, and now I need to make it.
That is excellent! Happy sewing 😊
@@MarcelasPurse It was funny, I made the whole bag in paper, used tough tape, turning it right side out took longer than usual and a few of the seams did come apart, but I’m really happy with the size. I need to remember to use a longer zipper, just in case.
@@SparkyOne549 😃 yes, always a longer zipper
to avoid difficulty when sewing it in place. Now you understand the technique and you will be able to make many more 😊
Thank you for this video! Great bag and very good instructions!
Thank you very much. 😊
I just came across your channel. Thank you so much for a great tutorial. I’m looking forward to watching your other videos!
Thank you very much, 😊
Thank you for the very detailed instructions!! The bag is beautiful. I love it!
You are welcome 😊. I am glad you like it. 😊😊😊
I love that bag you are now showing
Thank you 😊
oh. my. god. my mind is seriously blown 😂 i cant believe you only took 35 minutes to explain in great detail how to make a beautiful bag. and so easy to follow for a beginner! thank you so much! 😍 i have been struggling for 2 days with a pattern i bought because i modified the size, so had to rethink and redraw all the lines. that one has front, bottom and back in 1 piece and 1 piece each for the sides. so much more complicated! also, that pattern doesnt include lining and ive been killing myself, thinking about how to include it! thank you sooo much, great video, loved watching it. ❤ i am in awe at your skills, both sewing and teaching!
Thank you very much, I am very happy to know this. Happy sewing ! 😊😊😊
@@MarcelasPurse Thank you! :) I have a question. Is it possible to somehow have the lining sewn to the bottom of the bag as well? I have a bag (small one) that has the lining sewn in everywhere (around the top, around the bottom) without visible seams, but also no seams on the outside. Maybe you have an idea? :)
@@cor3495 Hi, there is a way to do it, but to be honest, I have never done it myself. I have to take time and think about it. It would be a good tutorial. 🤔
@@MarcelasPurse Maybe an idea for the next one! 😄 I have subscribed anyways, so I won't be missing anything. :)
@@cor3495 thank you 😊
Beautiful choices of fabric and trim!
Thank you 😊
Thank you. I made this tonight. Fun project and useful.
Oh, great!!! Thank you 😊😊😊
Love this bag😍 I've been looking for a toiletry bag like this to add to my inventory! Thank you for another great tutorial 😊
You are welcome , happy sewing 😊
Very well explanation. Thank you for this video. By the way, I love the choice of fabric you used for this bag!!!
Thank you very much 😊😊😊
Thanks so much for your tutorials 😊. I love this bag!
You are welcome, Sandra. Thank you for your support 😊
I love the size of it! I’m going to make one, because I house sit dogs for family members when they go on vacation. I used 3 small zipper pouches for all my bathroom items, so I really need to make this. I will also make a zippered pockets on both sides of the lining for facial items.
A zipper pocket is a good idea, happy sewing! 😁
If I were to make it bigger, how would I go about that? I used a box with similar dimensions and put all the items in that I need to take on a 3 week house sitting job, and it wasn’t big enough.
@@SparkyOne549 at the beginning of this video I mentioned a link to a tutorial where I explain how to make these kind of bags/pouches in different sizes. The link is just above the list of materials, you will need to get a longer zipper to fit the size of your bag and make the handles longer, of course 😊
@@MarcelasPurse I did hear that but don’t know how to make it bigger. I think I will wing it. I’m thinking 16 x 8x 8. But I can’t figure out what the starting measurement of the fabric would be before cutting the corners.
@@SparkyOne549 whatch that video, I think it will help you a lot, you could practice with some scrap fabric. 😊
Hi Marcella how have you been?! I’ve made about 7 of these, four for a fund raiser, and being new to sewing back several yrs ago, they turned out pretty nice! The only issue I had making this is the inside pocket. It seems to just hang there and not attached securely to the bag. I did try sewing up the middle of the pocket-making it two separate pockets and that seemed to help some, but is there any new way if making the pocket more stable so that its a usable pocket?
This is one of my favorite go to tutorials and ive not sewn in a couple of years so its so nice to watch you again! I hope youre doing well, God bless ❤️
Hellooooo 😊. I am glad about all your sewing projects. I think that the problem with the pocket might be that the fabric is too thin, perhaps if you try adding interfacing to the wrong side of the pocket fabric it might make in more rigid. Let me know how it goes. I hope you are well, too.😊
@@MarcelasPurse ahh I didn’t think of that! I’m going to try that and I’ll let you know…thank you for replying Marcella ❤️
@@GrammaPatriot 😊😊😊
Good job
Thank you 😊
Nice bag
Thank you.
Thankyou lovely bag very useful.x
😊😊😊
Love the fabric
So do I, sadly, it is not available any more . It is a design by Amy Butler.
Could you do a tutorial on a hand bag with a lining and a zipper
2:03 Hiiiiii, can you please make a crossbody version with a long adjustable strap? So cool im a beginner
Traduci in italiano x favore la borsa e bellissima complimenti grazie 😂
thank you , beautiful bag, great video.
Thanks 😊
Beautiful but all your work always is!
Thank you very much, Janey. 😊
I'm new to sewing Marcela, so could you just confirm that the main fabric size (before cutting out the square corners) is 12 and a half inches by 6 and a half inches? Also, the fabric of the straps is 4 inches wide, but what is the length that you used please?
Mary, 12 x 6 is the roughly the size of the finished bad, please read all the dimensions for each piece of fabric in the list of materials below the video.
I love this bag! Easy to follow instructions😀. Is there a way to make the zipper lay down each side a little more so the bag can be opened wider?
Thank you 😊 . Do you mean, the zipper to go down onnthe side at each end? If so, I would suggest to make a bag with gusset instead. Here is a link to a travel bag I made a long time ago (using the same fabric). It has a gusset, you can modify its dimensions so that the zipper goes longer at each end.
I hope you can use the technique to make what you want.
I might make a new project like that soon. czcams.com/video/LOu-dTxgSaw/video.html
@@MarcelasPurse thank you!
Bella! I can't wait to make one! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Any recommendations on how to also attach a shoulder strap?
Thank you! You can make a strap and attach it to each end of the zipper when you are closing the top corners, the step you see me doing in minute 32 of this video. One end of the strap centered in relation to the zipper, pushing the strap inside and making the other end of it come out at the other corner (the strap will be caught when you close those ends). Please see minute 11 of this other video where I am attacing little tabs, but it is the same process. czcams.com/video/mS1vRUtWlMY/video.html
I hope you understand what I mean.
@@MarcelasPurse ¡muchas gracias! I love your tutorials.
@@elizabethburns8893 😊😊😊 gracias.
Would you pleas say about the size of fabric tht you caut thank you. Is that 18“x18“
All the dimensions are written in the description box below the video, as well as a list of the fabrics and lining. 😊
Sometimes it is a bit hidden depending in the device that you are using, but it is all there. 😊
No tiene tirotéales en español??
Lamentablemente no. Estoy tratando de incluir substítulos en castellano, pero no resultan correctos. Muchas gracias por su interés.
Pourquoi ne mettez vous pas toutes les dimensions ? ? ?
Please read the description box below the video, all dimensions are there.
P. S.... I don't have a description box on my device for the measurements 😢
No dio las medidas y me parece que no remató
Todas las medidas estàn bajo el video, sobre el pàrrafo de comentarios. Toque la flecha "V" en la esquina derecha. Todos mis projectos son terminados en detalle, por el largo trabajo que toma producir el video debo eliminar escenas, pero explico cada paso.
Marcela, what kind of fusible foam do you use here?
Hello, I used Bosal in -R-form , I am always very happy with the result. 😊
@@MarcelasPurse thank you Marcela! I’m watching your videos as we speak 😊
@@GrammaPatriot 🙂
