    Ben definitely wasn't camera shy today! Love it!! You just sew away while he's on your lap without the distraction!

    I've been seriously just binge watching your videos for over a month now. I love the lives and that you try to answer questions. You are so kind and generous with your knowledge. I feel like part of the bag squad. Thanks for all you do.

    @Heathers_Handbags Před 4 lety +2

    I heard that 100000000 times from my mom when I was learning to sew. "If you messed up a seam allowance somewhere, find it and fix it!" when you said that i almost spit out my drink.

  • @BethanieMoose
    @BethanieMoose Před 4 lety +3

    I love seeing Ben and hearing his sweet meows. Such a cutie! I love watching you make these, thanks for the videos!

  • @markseppelfrick9061
    @markseppelfrick9061 Před 4 lety +29

    you need to get a tag to sew in "inspected by ben"

  • @shelliemac7001
    @shelliemac7001 Před 4 lety

    Everyone should have a Ben in their lives. He’s so adorable. I’m not usually a fan of ross gold but I have to admit that I adore it on this bag. Thank you for the video xx

    The fabric you designed is eye popping. The gold vinyl compliments perfectly. You are a true artist. I'm amazed at how your tools are in the right place when you need them. Good organization saves time and steps. Thanks you so much for sharing your expertise on a very beautiful messenger bag.

  • @rebeccafox4880
    @rebeccafox4880 Před 4 lety +1

    Ben was Mr Diva today :D strutting his self in front of the camera and meowing for us. So precious. My Sebastian sometimes does that when I'm trying to sew too. LOL I love the changes you made to the bag and can't wait to make one. It'll have to wait though because I broke my leg and I can't get to my machine. :( As always great tutorial.

    I love this bag. I am all into the rose gold lately. Have this pattern - haven't sewn it yet. I enjoyed Ben's input also.

  • @Sewlady718

    I watched you make your first Mighty Messenger live. I love the additional pockets! It’s gorgeous and I’m feeling inspired to make another one lol. Thanks for giving us your time and talent!

  • @sadiejosiemom
    @sadiejosiemom Před 4 lety +1

    This is one of my favorites you've made! That rose gold vinyl and hardware - swoon!! You need to find out the distributor for that and keep it in stock. The only thing I would change would be to put a snap on the back outer slip pocket because it's so big. I wish you'd modeled it to see how big it is against a body. Gorgeous bag!

  • @karenjordan3226

  • @pawsitivity_bot
    @pawsitivity_bot Před 4 lety

    I have made a few of these and I love your changes, especially with the 2 magnetic snaps. I'll have to give it a go with adding an exterior slip pocket for the back. I just love that idea!

    I’ve made three of these so far ...love this bag! Would love to see a tutorial on adding a top zip closure to this bag 😁

    • @LaurenMormino
      @LaurenMormino  Před 4 lety +1

      Oh yeah! It wouldn’t be hard. You would make a recessed zipper panel and cut it about 1.5” smaller than the width of the main panel and add it to the bag after basting the flap

    • @lyndahargis2495

    Love Ben. My kitty Sam was sitting on my lap when Ben came up to the camera. He was fascinated. Where do you get the small containers you keep your hardware in? They are the perfect size. Love this video. One of my customers was asking for a messenger bag and now I know which one I want to use. Thanks for all your amazing videos. They are so helpful. Happy New Year.

    Do you ever have to use a zipper foot with your machine? Or does it not change out bc it’s a walking foot? Thank you for your videos/tutorials!!! I’m a new subscriber and I’ve been binge watching your bag making 😃. I’m learning so much! Thank you! 🙌🏼

    • @LaurenMormino

    Lauren: Please assist: I am planning on getting a Juki DU-1181N like you have. My question is, for making all your bags, what distance do you need between the far edge of the long side of the 1181's table and a wall? Can I (unlikely) jam the table right up to the wall? How much space would you estimate is required? Thanks for your reply!
    Wow! In the intro to this video you showed (some of) your stock! Do you pre-select fabrics in the hope customers will want it, and then pre-make the bags; or do you allow customers to select any fabric, and then make the bag sort of like a custom order? What % of your bag business is done each way?

    • @LaurenMormino
      @LaurenMormino  Před 4 lety

      I honestly don’t believe you need too much of the left side of the table if space is the constraint!

    • @LaurenMormino
      @LaurenMormino  Před 4 lety

      I would say I do 70% of making whatever I want to and hopes it will sell & 30% custom orders where the customer can pick from some fabrics vinyls/leather etc!
