I have made no less than 10 purses over the last few years with your video. Thank you for the absolutely wonderful step by step. You made me feel confident with zippers.
I love your tutorials. Many people say "it is so easy!" and they do a portion of the construction and leave out the places where people run into trouble. But YOU have such attention to detail and a desire to teach that to others. It makes you unique. I wish you would do more. I am sewing Cobaltex into the bag to shield my body from the cell phone radiation. So, I came back to this video to get your vibe. Thanks and god bless
Loving your tutorial Lynne. You’re an excellent teacher, precise, easy to understand and so happy to have found you.
I haven’t see a bag this cute in forever!
Thanks, Lynne! I've made a couple of bags similar to this one but you've taught me a couple of short cuts today. I appreciate the fact that you are very precise and neat with measuring and making sure your seams are nice and straight. It gives the finished product a professional look. Thank you again!
Love, love your tutorials! I’ve made 2 of these bags, the diaper bag, the Lilyann bag, the crossbody bag and numerous tote bags. My daughter, daughter-in-laws and granddaughters have all loved being the recipients of them. Thanks so much for doing these. It has certainly taken my mind off this pandemic!! You’re the best!!
I have made this bag twice. Absolutely love the tutorial. I need to pay MUCH closer attention when installing the tabs because I have done them wrong both times!!! I had to tear out and re-place them. I have made 1 in a sports fabric and 1 a more summer fabric. I also used interfacing that was too stiff because that's what I had. Not terrible, but I will purchase light weight before my next one. Great pattern, though! Thank you!
Omg, I loved this tutorial. I’ve just came back to sewing and you make this bag look so easy. Thanks so much.
I like the longer videos! Not only are they informative but I get extra time on the treadmill watching 😀
Love this tutorial. One thing that I have found helpful is to tape the zipper on the back side when you are seeing this type pocket. It holds the zipper in place while you sew all around it. Once sewn, just remove the tape. Thanks for taking time to show all the steps. Have a great day!
Very cute little bag, even great for traveling for your passport etc., love the tip about the template for the boxed corners, I'll be using that one! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Vicki, I'm new to sewing and your videos are so easy to follow and understand, they are giving me so much inspiration, I have just completed this bag and i absolutely love it, very pleased with myself and its all down to you, thanks so much.
So happy to hear that ! ... Keep trying all the goodies... Each are fun... and functional... Hugs, Lynne
I love, love , love your tutorial!! I wish I had found this before I started making my bag. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.
Hi, have made a couple now and love this bag. One thing I would like to mention is the zips..... When wearing the bag the zips open from front to back which is great and makes sense but I am left handed and always wear my bag on left shoulder so zips opened from back to front, not a biggie but found it more awkward so if you are a leftie like me you might want to insert zipper with pull on left instead of right......
brilliant very easy to understand. thank you.
I made this bag. Will make more to give as gifts for Christmas. Thank You so much for your tutorials. I really enjoy them . You make it look so easy.
I am a rookie sewer and sometimes worried about tackling something that isn't super simple. You, my friend, make this sound SO doable. I am off to the fabric store for rectangles and a slider --- I want an adjustable strap.Thank you very much for your wonderful explanations. And I adore your little partner sleeping on the chair.
Go gettum Janie... Thanks so much, she's my partner in crime... Lynne
Wonderful teacher great bag tutorial
beautiful tutorial,I like the way you explained every details, continue to do a good job,God bless.
Wow I love your tutorial videos! I just found your channel by accident and I’m glad I did! I’m a newbie just learning to sew, so you can imagine how surprised I was to learn a different way to sew a zipper! Thank you so much for sharing!
I ❤️! how you're perched on the edge of your seat to accommodate your gorgeous little dog 😄lol it's exactly the sort of thing I do! Great tutorial, love making bags and watching different methods X
Love your tutorials and like the way you go slow and I don’t mind that they are long.
Hi Lynne, I love your tutorials. So clear and helpful. I think that bag would hold a sketchbook as well. I'm making something similar but I'm making it out of leather. And I'm putting in Cobaltex which is a material that shields the phone radiation from the body. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much. You are a true professional. I have learned so many tips and techniques. You have given me the confidence to design and sew bags.
Very nice, Thanks so much, It should be fun. Lynne
OMG!!!! What a great teacher you are!!!! Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You Chrissy are too kind... Thanks so much. please post pics of your lovelies on our Facebook page. facebook.com/VickiLeeBags/
You are awesome. Very well explained. I'm ready to make as many as i want. I keep my tablet close to my sewing machine then I go step by step. Being doing the cosmetic bag with handles for my granddaughter and cousins since it looks like little purses for children. Thank you so much.
Love love love! You are fantastic! Ive been watching tutorials for about 2 months now and I’m ready to take the plunge for my first bag, I’ll be doing this particular bag. Can’t wait to see you back. Dawn.
I love this tutorial !! Your bags are amazing
Love love love it
I absolutely love watching your sewing methods and learning from you I really wish my Mom could have seen my work she was a seamstress and she tried to get me into sewing but I was a typical teenage but I’m making up for it now can’t wait to see what else you come up with 😬
You are amazing! Very thorough you've tought me a lot and I just started sewing in december. I made one of your purses and all my co workers/friends loved it!
Thanks so much... Glad you are enjoying it ! < LYNNE
Super Tutorial. Already made my bag. It came out perfect. I did have to think for a moment (when you cut the video to the black tabs), about what you did with the pinned pocket. I realized you did sew it down at that point. I think you cut out the sewing of the pinned pocket. Otherwise, fabulous tutorial, one of the best on youtube for iphone bag. Keep them coming! You're an inspiration.
Love your video. You make it look so simple...but it's not that easy. With practice I think I can get close to the quality you show.
I'm learning a lot from you and you go slowly for me and that's good for me thank you . Mary
Just found this video, its to late to start one but I want to get on it as soon as i get up tomorrow. How cute and love all the pockets
This bag would be perfect for Disneyland!
Thank you so much!
Love it! Will make it.
Thanks for not going fast. Some tutorials they talk too fast.
Yours is perfect for me to follow.
I'm a subscriber now!
God bless you !
Keep on sharing!
Happy to have you here... Thanks so much. Lynne
Excellent Tutorial...everything so well explained....I will give it a go! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing,& happy Friday.
I just love this bag. So unique and great instructions. We have a fishing gal called. Salmon Shelly. We thought a crossover bag with her favorite past time would really surprise her this fall. I am going to show pic of bag with adjustable strap.
What a great video, Thankyou!! So pleased to have found your channel!! X
Well Thanks Sue !!! Glad you liked it. Please visit our Facebook Page. facebook.com/VickiLeeBags/
I just found your site on CZcams, I really enjoy your videos, your bags are beautifully done. I do understand about writing a pattern. Thanks for your great videos
I love your tutorials. Thank you
Very nicely explained for inset zippers. It has always intimidated me.
What a wonderful lady you are, I have learnt so much watching your videos and I just want to say a huge thank you. I'm a new subscriber and I wish I had a found you a long ago. Thank you so much for sharing😀
Thanks so much Denise.. Hugs
I have learned a lot from your videos
Love the way you do the zipper I used your method on a different project.
I just came across this video to make this cute bag. You did such a great job explaining everything and it has made me dust off my sewing machine! I can't wait to be able to sit down and make this! I loved the zipper insert? idea. It looks clean and gives the bag a very "finished" look. I've subscribed and am going to watch the rest of the videos! Thank you so much for sharing!
Excellent instruction. Thank you.
You are always a youtuber i wait to see. Love love your videos. Im a bag lady also..and love your tutorials. Thank you for all your invaluable input. Much love...Terry
Hello Terry ! Well thanks so much !!! I really appreciate that !
I make 10 of these on a busy day and I just wanted to offer a friendly tip/ advice. When it comes to the small d-ring strap connectors....I noticed that you sew them on facing outwards...then when it's time to put the bag together you flip them inwards.....why not just sew the piece on facing inwards to begin with? This way there's no worries about the seam looking janky when the bag is finished. This is how I do it....and each artists has their own way...I think your bags are absolutely beautiful. I just wanted to share my thoughts ....happy sewing
A LANE-BRAIN I didn't understand any of that. Sorry
A LANE-BRAIN oh geez. I just got what you are saying;)). Funny cause that's what I usually do. Don't know why I changed it. As always thanks ☺️
Ur bags are beautifully done very well ☺
I would like if it also had zipper in back or third zip in front. Nice video
1st I would like to say thank you very much for your video. 2nd I would like to make a suggestion regarding the zipper. I use Wonder tape instead of pins to keep the zipper exactly where you want it and you can sew over it it's awesome. Also regarding your camera angles , you can try filming over your right shoulder. and of course I do not know what type of camera you are using, but most cameras these days allow you to turn the LCD screen towards you that way you can see if you are on camera. There was one spot where you were cutting out for the first zipper and we barely could see what you were doing because you are almost off camera. 😊
I had to rewatch this video again because I thought I was missing something. I got to the pinned pocket part and realized that I think you may have cut out the sewing it down part! I figured it out .....I hope I did it right but after that it was smooth sailing. I do need to practice my sewing of zippers but other than that it's been moving along nicely! Thank you again so much. And.........I did make a cardboard gusset make too!
Loved ur video .great way to teach.
Thank you Usha :))
Great tutorial! BTW, love your nails.
I always learn something watching your videos. Darling crossbody bag which I would love to make for a sweet girl in Guatemala. Thank you so much.
Good to know, and I appreciate you watching. She is one lucky girl... wink
I need to be able to make it before about April so no pressure!!! Haha thanks for the reply. Merry Christmas.x
Great tutorial! Thank you :) and happy new year!
I loved you video, looks like a well made bag. Disappointed that you didn't use the hooks for the strap but I know how to do that. overall very pleased !! 😊
Love the video! Great help.
thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for the easy instructions! Love your bags
I would like to make this bag without one zipper on front but still want the second pocket . do I prepare it the same way and simply sew around the outside of the pocket like I would if the zipp is there?
Greetings Vicki, thank you for showing how to make the two pockets on the outside. I make cross body bags also, sometimes I have made them to sell, most often just for myself for over 20 years, because I like to be hands free when it comes to purses. I was just wondering why you don’t use continuous zippers and pulls? I have used them for years after I met the zipper lady at the sewing expo years ago. The zippers are strong, durable and come in great colors. The zipper lady also has a CZcams video on how to attach the pulls that are most helpful. I will definitely use this video as a guide when I make my next bag, which will be soon because the one I have now is well loved. Thanks again. Peace
very cute...i'm going to try sometime...
Can you use temporary hem tape to hold zip in place? My two granddaughters want the teen size shoulder bag, squared off bottom with 2 zip pockets and one zip top closer.
I have not used it before, but if you have then I don't see why not. have fun !
@@VickiLeeBagsbyLynne I think I will try that and I will post the bags when I complete them ty
Excellent tutorial!!! I’m a subscriber now!!!
At the end of a bad day, it was nice to put my feet up while watching your video. It Is relaxing to view a project start to finish. I might make this bag next with a few modifications and adjustable strap. Can you show a bag that has a zippered pocket at an angle? How about a pocket with a pocket flap?
at an angle? sorry don't get that one. Pocket with a flap? That one is cool... Enjoy !
Vicky lee by lynn, i made your double zipper cross body bag. I loved the way it turned out .thank you for the pattern.
May I make a suggestion on poking out corners? I fount the perfect tool that will make a nice sharp corner without poking a hole in your project. Don't tell my husband though, lol.
I stole one of his Phillips screwdrivers, med sized. Works like a charm! Try it sometime.
Terry
Love your tutorials. What is the name of your Etsy store? Do you sell kits or patterns?
I’ve made this pattern twice. This time I came up about 1/2” shorter than I started on the zippered side. What am I doing wrong? My lining pieces don’t line up in length either. Thanks for any reply you can provide.
Hi Nancy,forgive my delayed response. Not sure why, but before you box corners make sure both sides are even. If not trim to make them even. So I haven’t run into that YET…… but the day is young. Ty for watching
I do love these bags, going to make another one this weekend and going to add the 2 pocket on the front...love it. I heard you say you sell on Etsy, if you are selling this bag you just made it looked like when your were trimming the threads on your lining on the last step that you cut a little tiny hole in the lining and thought you might want to check that out before you put it on your shop. Beautiful job.
Respectfully , I did not cut a hole in my lining... What you are seeing, is I used black thread to sew up the sides of the lining. But used yellow to sew up the bottom. So you are seeing left over black thread.
How about making a printout of the gusit pattern it would make it so easy for us
I have a question. If the strap is not adjustable, isn’t 62 “ long for the strap. I measured it and I come to my knees.
Even if I take into account the folding over at the end. Love your video.
that's why one size does not fit all... make it the length you would like
Thank you, for your great tutorial. What is the finished size of the bag?
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I love this little bag and will be making some. I do have a question regarding your little tags you sew on with your name on it, do you make your own or get them printed professionally?
I don't understand why you save the little corners. Saving thread?
I do save them to save thread when I actually sew off my project onto those lil corners, Lynne
Love your bags & teaching videos! How are you liking your new machine?
I love my machine... Power and more power... noisy !! lol
It would be great if you sold paper patterns of your collections for people to buy, I would definitely be interesting in buying them.
The fact that I don't read patterns, make it difficult to make them. The cost to have somebody make them for me ? cannot do it... Lynne
What is the light interfacing you used?
Hi Vicki! I am making this bag and want to use 1" D rings. Should I attach them the same as you show in your video?Thanks so much!! Mary
Hi Lynne. I love your tutorials and bags and was wondering if you do a video for a new mum's baby bag. (For carrying nappies, wipes, bottles etc around. Also a section for phone and purse would be good. I want to make one for my daughter who is pregnant but can't find any videos online for one. Keep the videos coming.... Brenda C xxx
Well? I'm working tons of hours during the holidays, but I've been asked many times to make a diaper bag. Hope I can get to do that asap... Thanks for asking... Lynne Congrats on the baby ! xoxo
Perhaps you could just slightly adapt the organiser bag as it already has lots of pockets. Just needs a couple of bottle holders on the outer and a changing mat perhaps on an outside pocket of it's own too. Just a couple of ideas. Have a great xmas and keep the videos coming. You have a very good teaching style that is easy to follow.
Hi Brenda, you are right. I have done that many , many times... hope you try it. Should be very rewarding. Merry Christmas, Lynne
About a week ago some lady posted that she’d made about eight of these bags to give to her fellow quilt retreat members. She named your CZcams channel as the source of instructions. She was saying how easy they are to make.
I want to make one of these but don't have time at the moment. I just cheated and ordered one because on your Etsy sight you had my favorite color. :-)
Oh you ! Thanks so much... lol... Hope you just love it... Blessings... Ships on Monday ! , love, Lynne
Hello Lyn love your videos. Did you use the little swivel hooks, do you put them on the d rings. Can't wait for your next video. You explain everything so well, but i did miss where the swivel hooks go. Thank you .
On this project I did not use swivel hooks.... They would go on the handle. ty for your question.
Love your tutorial, I learned a lot from you. Want to get a heavy duty machine, what kind do you suggest I get. Thank you 😘
The one I have is a Singer Heavy Duty. Its loud, squeaky, and so on.... but it is perfect for all the bag making I currently do. Prob not for heavy leathers.... But I love it and It's all I use in my videos.. Enjoy, Lynne
I like that baby behind you in the chair.
Turn on CC to read words if you are having trouble hearing 😎
Your tutorials are so good that I only have one suggestion. It would be helpful to me if you put the material list, including yardage, in the description. That would make it easier for viewers to go back and make a shopping list!
Also, the audio was a little too low on this one.
Love your videos but I too have trouble hearing you. My volume is up as high as it will go. For those who say its to loud, they could turn the volume down so now when you record louder we all can hear. I have two questions. 1..You say in the video when stitching the zipper box to shorten your stitch length what should the stitch length be? 2. When drawing the center line for the zipper box what length should that line be before you start drawing the "v"?
Shirley Hart when I edit my videos, I have the volume all the way up. I'm sorry, have no idea how to correct that
Shirley Hart the stitch length is about 1. Not everybody has digital so it's hard to gauge.just leave 1/2 " before you make "v"s. Hope that helps.
Vicki Lee Bags/ by Lynne in your editing software, there should be a volume control for the audio track.
Hello, what sort of iron on pellon are you using? Love the bag making, make more 😀😀😀👜👝
Hello Ms Owl, for this bag I am using Pellon fusible fleece for the shell of the bag, then quilted, inside is a featherweight fusible from Pellon... < Lynne>
was that a light weight woven interfacing Thanks
Pellon featherweight fusible interfacing.
This is a great bag! Do you sell anywhere else besides Etsy? I make bags and sell at craft fairs. I'm getting set to try and sell at boutiques! I love how you explain your sewing techniques
Hello Leigh, I post on my official Vicki Lee Bags Facebook Page too, but my best results are on Etsy... Enjoy your day ! , Lynne
Vicki Lee Bags/ by Lynne that's awesome. I have a FB and instagram. My bags are all made of Denim jeans or khaki pants! Look me up @denimpouch and Facebook.com/thedenimpouch. I also have a craft show coming up next Sunday. I would love to hear whatcha think of my stuff!
You my dear are so talented... Thanks for sharing... hugs
Hi ma'am. This is the first time I watch your videos and I like this one a lot. I have the same fabric and I would like to make the same bag. I have a question though, you said you probably would sale it on Etsy do you need a license from Disney and how can I get one.. ? Thank you so very much love to see more.
great question. I looked on Etsy and tons and tons are using Disney stuff.. so I am not worried. thanks, good luck !
Thank you so very much for your reply. Love your videos please don't stop making them..
Mariana Lastres always look on the selvedge of any licensed fabric. It usually gives you info about how it can be used.
when you do your videos it would be wonderful if you would post the dimensions of the cut fabric pieces and size zippers and hardware you used, also where did you get your brand tags made?
love watching but I don't always have a pen and paper handy. thanks do much
Jane Wolfe She does show the dimensions at the beginning of the video.
True. All of her videos are that way. Nice teacher.
I meant to ask.......where can I find one of those gusset corner templates? That was a great little idea! Numbers and I are not friends so....... anything I can get to help me out is a plus!! Lol!!
I just made it out of a fat quarter piece of card board, or any heavy paper. Then I measured out of one corner of the template, one inch, the next corner was 1.5" , and the next corner was 2".... the one inch cut out makes a 2" gusset. The one and a half makes a 3" gusset and the 2 " makes a 4" gusset... I made others bigger and smaller as well. Glad you enjoyed it. Lynne
What happened to the swivel clips? I liked the idea of a detachable strap.
lol nothing happened to the swivel clips... I just did not add them... but you are more than welcome to... lol
Love your videos... a little question.. do you use this machine to make leather bag too?
I do...
