I like how you make the stitching and turning of the slit for the zipper look so easy!! Other videos make it look complicated and difficult! Thank you ❤️
I love that this zipper install didn’t take 300 steps, like so many tutorials. Great job from start to finish!
This is so easy to follow. Thank you. I know what my nieces are getting for Christmas '24 now lol. Thank you.
So happy to see this. It's very timely in my life because I'm getting ready to make myself one. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for sharing this crossbody bag tutorial for us! I made 4 of them last week! I wish I had had your pattern a year ago when I started making bags like this. Your bag is much easier to sew and the finished product looks much smoother. The patterns I found and made used French seams in them and zippers that went all the way into the seam lines, which made the seams very bulky. Your pattern is much better! These are great bags to use when flying, to keep just a driver's license and boarding pass in them, instead of having to go into my purse and pull out my wallet.
That was AMAZING...🤗 And, I ABSOLUTELY LUV that you take care of your loose threads as you sew...lol! It drives me bonkers when I see mile long thread ends in tutorials...😁😁😁😁 I will definatley be making a few of these. Thank you so much for the tutorial. 💞💝💘💖
PS: YES! You are such a rebel, sewing over your needles and stuff...🤣🤣🤣🤣
cute, easy, quick -- all the things I like when making a bag!
Thank you for this video. Your instructions were easy to follow. No pattern needed. I had the (not so bright) idea to box the corners a bit, but I failed to consider the effect on the front pockets. (hey, learn by doing and failing!) Well that was my "muslin". Here's a couple of my learnings from that and my second highly successful bag. (1) I pulled my bag through the liner, not the exterior (remember to unzip!). I left the bottom of the bag liner with a gap to do so. I made a divider pocket for the inside. I just took an 8x11 piece of fabric and applied SF 1010 to side of the fabric on the inside to give it more body. I also put interfacing on the exterior pockets--but just on the half closest to bag as I figured that would have wear. You could put a trim on your pockets to add nice detail to both the tops and the center. (make bias tape in a contrasting fabric). I cut my strap at 54" to account for the loops on the adjustable slide and the bag. I could not be happier with how it turned out. After admiring my handiwork, I decided that a 3/4 pocket on the outside bag back would be perfect (for airline tickets!). I cut a an 16 x 8 length (doubled over). If you are turning out your bag from inside out your front pockets may "disappear"....just turn the bag again so the outside pocket is where it needs to be.
Really enjoyed learning this pattern to such a handy style bag! Thank you!
Cute weekend project. Will have to make a few. Tfs
I am so glad you mentioned forgetting to leave the opening for turning. I do it all the time especially when im doing late night sewing!....lol love this bag and you make it look so ez! I love the hardware! Beautiful. Thank you!

Going to try this thanks
I love it. I'm going to give it a try :-)
Thank you! Darling!
Thank you 🙏
1st time seeing that zipper insertion!!! Love it!!!
Excellent .
Love it
I just made this bag and it's a perfect size. Added a zipper to the top of the front lower pocket for safety and did not divide the pocket in half. Watched the video three times and kept coming up with needing 5 pieces of 8" x 11" (front folded pocket, front face, back, lining behind front face and lining in front of back for when top zipper is open. What did I do wrong? Also, sewed in my strap instead of making it adjustable (less work!). Thank you for the wonderful instructions.
You did nothing wrong. Your math is correct. She just mis-spoke in the video. It actually is 5 pieces.
I don’t want to do her strap method either. I’ve only done sewn-strap method.
Lovely
Why was the last two pieces of lining sewn right sides together all the way around with no gap to pull thru to the fabric and not the interfacing? Confused
What type of stabilizer is used for the lining? I really like this bag! I have made several but curious what you used on the back of the lining. Thank you!
I wonder, can I leave the turning opening in the lining instead?
Does she use an interfacing on the lining? I see that she uses fusible fleece on the body of the bag the interior and exterior but I’m unsure about the lining.
I 💘 all your tutorials , can you please tell me what model of brother machine are you using. Thanks for sharing easy and nice projects.
if you go to the website - itsseweasytv.com and the nubmer of the video 1701-2 it shows the machine with a link
ooooh love this tutorial!! also did you make your blouse? if so what is that pattern??
Good tutorial quick and to the point.i hate it when people feel that it’s necessary to talk and talkAre you doing any other tutorials?
Just made one and it's adorable but very hard to top stitch through the thickness.
Could you do a tutorial for a double wine bag tote to take along to events? Thanks!
Love it! Where can I find the materials needed?
Love the bag. Where do you get the hardware?
Can the opening be left on the lining and get the same results?
Where can i purchase that pattern it is lovely thank you so much for sharing. And does the lining need fleece?
Do these sewing machine tables being used on this TV show not allow the machines to be recessed ?
What type of stabilizer do you use for bags? TY Diane
Where can I purchase the hardware used on this bag?? Thanks

This might help a few of you who want clear directions and supplies needed: itsseweasytv.com/projects/series_1700/1701/ISE_1701-2_INST.pdf
Thank you soooo much for this!
Did you buy the strap already made? Or is there a different tutorial explaining that process? Thank you for the tutorial! Could you do a tutorial with two or more compartments?
I wish they had gone into more detail about that too... there is one for a fabric strap in their channel, but not necessarily with the poly strap she uses.
Hi. Im following your video now. You said you need 4 - 8x11 pieces. But did you use 5 8x11 pieces to include the pocket
a pop comes on the screen to go to a link for the instructions and pattern, unable to find that.
Hi again Ethel, couldnt find that either !! She was so rushed im surprised they didnt help us slow pokes with putting a list of supplies needed.
Thanks, this video teached me a lot, but i became confused at the end min 12......
Can I make the cross body bag with a lining that has not been fused with fleece? Or any kind of stabilizer?
Nice, will make one. What is the model# sewing machine you are using?
Yes please give us the information for your machine please! I am very interested!
I love your watch...may I ask where you purchased?
Could you tell me qhy my fabric puckers after sewing the zipper hole
I loved the bag. You made it look so easy to put together but I flinched when I saw you teaching people to sew over the pins...🤔
Thin steel pins are really no problem to sew over! Just watch closely and remove a pin that is in the way of the needle. For quilters it is so much easier to get precise seams etc if you sew over pins.
@@vannahhall915 We sew over pins all the time.
I sew over pins too
I really like your video. Thank you very much. Could you please, tell me what kind of zipper you used?
You can use any zipper...google YKK and go to their website. You can use all types of zips...I think she was using a Vislon which has nylon v. metal teeth. It's a great application for that zip. I had one and used it. I also made a second bag with a less chunky zip with excellent results.
Search for a #10 plastic zip
Do you have a video on how to make the adjustable strap?
Go to the 18:49 mark on this great video. it shows very precisely how to attach an adjustable strap.

@@SuzetteG316 thanks so much!🙂
@@SuzetteG316 Thank you for sharing that
Could I use something else successfully rather than the poly tabs?
TimandRhon Lawrence very easy to make your own tabs from whatever fabric you are using. Just fold over twice and topstitch
I really like your tutorial, but one thing really confuses me is you say we only need 4 pieces, when in truth you need 5 pieces to construct this adorable bag.
I am glad you mentioned this, I couldn't wrap my head around using 4 pieces but, I counted 5.
Confused me too. By the time I finished it and looked inside, I saw interfacing ! I threw it out
Help, I am confused... you sewed all the way around lining, so how do you get inside of it?
Oh duh!! The zipper!
It would have been good to show us how to use the hardware that you used on the straps!!! I haven't done anything with those before and really need some help with them.
To get it right, I found a video on how to do it. I'm sure Kay did one on the strap, but, I can't find it. Check out, How to Make an Adjustable Purse Strap- Tutorial by Crafty Gemini. Highlight and copy that and paste it in the youtube search box. Go directly to about 11:30. Hope this will help.
Cute bag! What are u ironing on?
It's a wool pressing mat.
Bonsoir madame
Très jolie sac
Pourriez vous mettre les dimensions
Car ne parlant pas anglais
Merci..
Toutes les dimensions du sac sont de 8 pouces (20,23 cm) par 11 pouces (27,94 cm). (tissus intérieurs et extérieurs, molleton d'interfaçage et fusible) La mesure de la sangle sera déterminée par votre taille. Plus vous êtes gros, plus vous en aurez envie!)
Parce que je voulais quelque chose d'un peu plus grand, j'ai fait le mien 9 pouces par 12 pouces. (22,86 cm par 30,48 cm) 😊
@@lindajacobs1487 bonsoir madame je vous remercie pour votre réponse 👍... Continuez de nous envoyer des tutoriels de vos très belles ouvrages 👏...
Why do you say, "you only need (4) 8x11 inch pieces of fabric." When I see exterior 2, lining 2 and 1 for outside pockets?
What kind of zipper did you use? I used a regular dress zipper and it wasn't nearly as easy to place as the one you used.
Will it work if I leave the opening to turn the bag in the lining?
Yes. I left my opening at the bottom of the interior lining and pulled the bag through it. Be very generous and backstitch on either side. Remember to leave your zip open for this. I was very happy with the result.
Search for #10 plastic zip. May also be called jumbo. A #5 is also larger and easier to use.
Where do you get the hardware, I really like the swivel hooks and the parts that they clip on to

Correction: looks like she used a triangle ring
What size poly belttiing
👍👏
What model sewing machine is that?
You stitch over your pins? I thought that was a no no
cathy phegley hi! Everyone has their own opinion on whether or not you should. I sew over my pins all of the time. Of course, I’m taking chances on breaking a needle or dulling it.
Sewing over the zipper, even worse.
@@michelestoneking2540 Has the potential of doing more damage than just needle break.
@@buzoff4642 How do you propose sewing the zipper on then? I machine sew over plastic zippers all the time. I make dozens of bags every year and never broke a needle yet. You just need to go slow.
How long is the strap?
I watched other videos that made tge strap 48 inches. That is what I try to do.
I there any pattern for this bag please, I really want to make it, are there step by step instructions to follow that I can print off please. Many thanks.
I just wrote down the instructions as she did them. Her dimensions are 8X11 for all 5 pieces of the lining, body and pocket. I made them a little bigger and put an inside pocket in the last two. (On the current bag, I'm putting it on the front lining instead of the back. I keep putting my hand in the pocket instead of the bag body. I'm hoping that will help) I did cut the fusible batting down an inch all the way around and centered it on the bag body. That made for less bulk. I also left the opening in the lining instead of the body. (If you do it that way, make sure to leave the zipper OPEN!) When I find where I put the front down, I'll finish my third bag! I struggle with installing the zippers, but I'm using an all purpose zipper which makes it harder, in my opinion, to get it to look as good as Kay's. I need to find some like hers, but they are more expensive. I'm also having trouble finding colors to compliment my fabrics. I guess since I have all the fabric I can invest a little more in the zippers!
Oh, I've also watched the video more than once!
@@lindajacobs1487 thanks, that helps a lot. I want to make one for my holiday 😊 fingers crossed. x
Where did you get the metal hardware? Thank you for showing us how to make this bag. I would love to make a few.
My local Fabricland does carry some hardware....or try Michael's as well...

I see that people have said that they have made this. Where did all of you find the pattern? I can't find it on the program web site, OR Ms. Whitt's web site.
She gives the dimensions at the very beginning. 4-8x11 pieces of fabric, interfacing, etc. all the same size, and a long zipper at least 9" long. So no "paper" pattern. I had to play it again to get that info.
Thanks very much for the information. It would have been nice if the show had made that clear!
@@heidelat3364 Hi I have just found the written instructions: www.itsseweasytv.com/projects/series_1700/1701/Itsseweasy_1701-2.htm
@@doc2sew thank you for that information
I loved your bag but yall missed a couple of key points.
1, theres 5 pieces of 8x11 material needed not 4
2, you forgot to give measurements for the straps.even though you didnt show how to put them together it would help some of us out by giving measurements
3, when doing the zipper insert if it bunches up after turning you need to go back & clip further into seam.( google it)
4, you posted that on yiur web site that yiu have pdf's for patterns but not this one ( i was disappointed )
Zzzzzz (apart from 3, you can have that).
All, here are the written instructions: www.itsseweasytv.com/projects/series_1700/1701/Itsseweasy_1701-2.htm
OOP! It's actually 5 pieces that's needed.....2 exterior, 1 pocket, 2 lining......
Ethel Anderson i thought so too !!! I thought i missed something !! And no mention of the length of the straps !!??? I guess they were not included with the amount of material needed !!
Thank you. I am a beginner sewer and that really confused me.
Correct
