I just put my current project in the naughty corner to think about what it's done, and am relaxing with a wine watching this tutorial. Soooooo relaxing!!! I have made one of these already and it was a hit, my MIL wants me to make her one so I'm getting inspired. Thank you Jess, I LOVE your tutorials.
My third rendition of this bag is in the naughty corner now. Apparently I cut the zipper a quarter inch too long, and the tab along with the thickness of the interfacing won’t go through my domestic machine. I may have to pull out the seam ripper and go back a few steps.
Another great tutorial! Thank you! I was almost shouting that you'd forgotten to open your interior pocket zip but in the end I'm glad you didn't hear me because you showed how to fix that should anyone else make the same mistake. It's not fatal. I just want to add that you and Sara Lawson of SewSweetness have my favorite tutorials. You have great camera angles and thoroughly explain everything in a way that I can completely understand. Although, you always make me laugh. Love that! Thank you for sharing your time and talent! It is much appreciated.
Hahaha I could feel you internally shouting at me Elle! I couldn't believe I did that. But I like that I can share that with you all! Thank you for such kind words, it means a lot to me! Sara is such a queen in my eyes, it means a lot to be in the same sentence as her!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I absolutely LOVE how you teach!!!! Thank you for staying in real time. That gives me the chance to stay right with you!!! I hope you never change your way of teaching, unless only to improve ( where, I’d hardly know that answer) THANKS SO MUCH! 💕
You are so good to give all the links for materials used in tutorial. Your instructions for making the bag are wonderfully clear and easy to follow. I am so glad to have found your tutorial channel, will stay in touch for more. Thanks
Thank you so much! I just finished this make. It's the first item I made with multiple pockets and zippers. Your tutorial was very helpful because you use good explanations. I don't think my bag would look as good without your help. I appreciate your willingness to share what you know.
Love the bag and the tutorial. I have not used Decovil Light so that was very helpful for me. Also installing the top zip was a new technique and was very clear. The tip on opening the forgotten zip just magic as I know most bag makers have done this at least once. I have a tip that I learned from More Me Know that has worked really well for me especially for a bigger bag. For the final assembly. Leave the bottom lining open and the interior zip pocket bottom open. Birth the bag the through the bottom of the lining opening. Then pull the lining through the interior zip pocket bottom and stitch the bottom lining closed right sides together. Place your lining back through the zip pocket opening now pull the zip pocket bottom through and sew together as shown in your video. I found this method much easier because the bottom lining opening is so much bigger that the zip opening.
Thank you, I've just finished my very first bag ever following your video. Thank you very much, it turned out really really well and I am so proud of myself.
I am soooooo thankful I found your channel. Your tutorials are the absolute best. I love how you break everything down and you don't assume everyone already knows how to do certain techniques. You have the perfects tutorials for beginners! Big fan!!!!
So I watched your tutorial about 10 times and finished making this today (it was a two day affair 😂). I’m so pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much for the brilliant tutorial!
Ok so I JUST MADE MY VERY FIRST REAL HANDBAG!!!! You couldn't beat the smile off my face! I cannot believe how nice it turned out! Already planning my next bag. Maybe a Heidi Swoon Foldover turned into a crossbody bag🤔😍💕 I am so freaking excited!!!!! Thank you!!
I absolutely love your tutorials because it's so easily explained and super easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your skill and patience and love for what you do with the world. budding bag lady
I love your idea about adding an extra line of stitches to prevent the pressure I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that I was just stitching over top of my original ones and that was just causing more stitches to be seen I can’t wait to try this new trick on my next bag. I am really enjoying working with different color and texture vinyls so always looking for fun new tutorials that incorporate vinyl.
I LOOOVE your channel! Your very detailed and informative. You explain stuff so well that you make us feel confident in trying to make these projects. I’m DEFINITELY trying this bag!
Thanks again. Just finished this bag and it turned out great. Never done an inside zip was going to skip but once you showed it was necessary to birth bag, I did it and turned out great. Thanks so much!!
Jess OklaRoots Thank you!! I’m working on it right now following your tutorial! I love the amazing instructions especially about what to interface and with which type or interfacing!! 💕
I made the purse in navy woven fabric with navy WPC as accent fabric. I made two straps. One is plain navy, the other is bright flowers to liven things up :)
Gosh, you are so talented 👏. I am so happy that I found your channel. I will have to watch this multiple times but I am definitely going to make this for our Daughter. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
Awwww your daughter will love it! I find it's the perfect bag, especially for those who don't have to carry ALL THE THINGS, you know? Let me know how she likes it!
Hey Jess! Your videos, your channel... are so pretty 🎆 Your tutorials are so clear, so organized and concise that I just enjoy to watch them. Anyway... you’ve been doing a terrific job 💝 I’ll stay tuned.
Your video came out at a perfect time! I just printed out this pattern today and I am about to pull fabric. Great video, you always make it look easy and your instructions are so helpful.
Thank you for sharing the bagmaking technics on You Tube. You do very well in explaining and teaching and it has helped me alot. I really appreciate that there is no music playing when you are talking. This is very distracting to people like me who may have trouble hearing with music playing louder than the speaker. Keep up your terrific instruction of making bags.
This bag is soooo cute! It's now on my list of things I just have make. You seriously cannot beat decovil light. Another great thing about decovil is when it sits for awhile the wrinkles all relax. Well worth the price because of the professional look it gives a bag. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!! Keep up the fantastic work!
Jess, you are really amazing! I'm so glad I found you. Thank you for explaining things so well. You do great work and have really inspired this True Beginner to try something harder. You are a ray of sunshine and I think you're just the cutest thing! Thank you for everything. I just love ya! Awesome videos, explanations, tips, projects, etc! Just perfect!!
LOVE WATCHING YOU !!!! YOU ARE A REALLY GREAT TEACHER. I also watch Sara Lawson and Lauren Mormento and love them as well. You ladies keep up the EXCELLENT work!!!!!
I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to take a chance, challenge myself to try something new. I have made one for my daughter and she is going to love it so I'm saving it for Christmas. I think my future daughter in law will love it with the Tula Pink fabric that I have too. Thanks....
First of all I want to say THANK YOU for your very helpful videos! I love that you put links to everything you use in your posts. OK, with that out of the way, I made the Sunshine tote and I love this bag! I use it for myself. I added a slip pocket on the exterior back so I can access my cell phone easily. Anyway, just want to say I appreciate your effort and your talent!
This is such a good tutorial! I downloaded the pattern last night, picked up some cork from Joann's today, picked my quilt cotton for the center, picked the cotton for the lining. I only need to get hardware and some decovil light, then I'll be set to start sewing!
Kia Ora from New Zealand. I'm a newbie to bag making. I made this bag over the weekend following your tutorial. It was my first ever bag and I'm so pleased with how it turned out. I just love your style of teaching. Love how you walk through all the steps. Thanks Jess. I have now subscribed to your channel. Ka kite Denise.
Omg, I've just found your channel, your tutorials are brilliant, thank you. You explain things really well and also you say why you do those things, this really helps. Thanks from jane in west Wales in the UK
Once again thank you for the video. I was asleep when you posted and what a fun thing to wake up to. Recouping but when I get back to the studio and after the dollie mini this is on the list. I’ve made three of the wrist slings that this is from. You girl, are an enabler. Great job.
Haha I'm not even sorry for adding to your bag list! These things are just so much fun to make, and when you can use them out and about, it's just the best!
34:25 really like the 90 degree fold on zipper tip. I’ve been looking for a way to keep the zippers from getting sucked into the side seams, which is not attractive. Thanks so much-great tutorial!
okay, so great idea to line with deco on the strap. I asked about making the dog walking bag with fabric instead of canvas and this idea sells it for me.
Working on bags 3, 4 and 5 as I wait for hardware to arrive. I love this pattern (confident beginner here)! Your tutorials are fabulous and I couldn't have done this without you. Crossing fingers the blue suede bag turns out as beautiful as my mind eye sees.
This is such a cute bag, I've made 4 now and have 3 more ordered. I still watch your video every time, just so I can follow along. Found my chatting to you today, I kept asking "so whats next Jess"..lol Funny I know, I giggled at myself when I realized what I was doing. Thanks Jess XXX
i just love love how you do your tutorial you have to be the easiest to follow . I have tried to do the wendie bag from anne bags and i have screwed it up twice . oh please can you do that video. she skips around and confusing. I love the way you teach . so easy to follow. love you
Thank you Jess for such great videos! I have only just found your channel this week and you have inspired me to start sewing again, I’ve made 3 bags ya!!😊
Thank you for the pattern link iv just finished my very 1st bag the sunshine wristlet from bagstock, wish i could send you a photo, im very proud of myself, love from England x
Hi Jess, First off I love all your videos. I've been watching for about a month and finally decided to make my first bag. I used left over upholstery fabric I had and left over zippers just to make a sample bag to get all the oops out of the way before investing in nice fabric and zippers, etc. I loved the pattern. You maddest so easy to follow. Just when I thought I'd take a short cut, sure enough I had to rip it out and continue your instructions. I should have known! I love my new bag, old fabric and zippers and all. Can't wait to make another one.
Update from my last comment- I TOTALLY made this bag! It’s SUUUUCH a nice bag!!!! I LOOOVE it! I did black faux leather panels and Black & White Jack from Night Mare Before Christmas and it’s STUNNING!!!! It’s really a NIIIICE bag!
This looks like a totally cute bag and something I might even feel comfortable trying on my own without a class, but following the tutorial all the way!
This is the perfect vacation bag, because you added the rings on the top you can run a small luggage lock through the D ring and the zipper pull to lock your bag to protect your items inside from being stolen by a pickpocket. I have been looking into a locking cross body bag for an upcoming trip and this is now the bag I will be carrying to hold my important documents and money while traveling abroad.

Any purse organizer tutorials?
This is so fantastic. Can’t wait to start mine. Thanks for this. You’re an excellent teacher.
What is the Facebook page to get pattern please?
How much vinyl do you recommend, a sheet or roll of vinyl? Is there enough vinyl for 2 bags?
I just put my current project in the naughty corner to think about what it's done, and am relaxing with a wine watching this tutorial. Soooooo relaxing!!! I have made one of these already and it was a hit, my MIL wants me to make her one so I'm getting inspired. Thank you Jess, I LOVE your tutorials.
My third rendition of this bag is in the naughty corner now. Apparently I cut the zipper a quarter inch too long, and the tab along with the thickness of the interfacing won’t go through my domestic machine. I may have to pull out the seam ripper and go back a few steps.
What is the purpose of bending the zipper ends at right angles?
You could also do a double sided strap (one side vinyl other side cotton) if you still want the vinyl look! Saves major on bulk and looks great!
You can also switch out the cotton side to use grosgrain ribbon instead.
How exactly do you do that? Also I only have 1" D-rings can I use that and make the strap a 1/4' wider? Thank you.
Another great tutorial! Thank you! I was almost shouting that you'd forgotten to open your interior pocket zip but in the end I'm glad you didn't hear me because you showed how to fix that should anyone else make the same mistake. It's not fatal. I just want to add that you and Sara Lawson of SewSweetness have my favorite tutorials. You have great camera angles and thoroughly explain everything in a way that I can completely understand. Although, you always make me laugh. Love that! Thank you for sharing your time and talent! It is much appreciated.
Hahaha I could feel you internally shouting at me Elle! I couldn't believe I did that. But I like that I can share that with you all! Thank you for such kind words, it means a lot to me! Sara is such a queen in my eyes, it means a lot to be in the same sentence as her!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I absolutely LOVE how you teach!!!! Thank you for staying in real time. That gives me the chance to stay right with you!!! I hope you never change your way of teaching, unless only to improve ( where, I’d hardly know that answer) THANKS SO MUCH! 💕

@@OklaRoots if you didn't use decovil light what did you use instead
@@alexes5 NOT Decovil heavy. Ask me how I know....
do you know which video? I am very visual, I can't follow instructions. Thanks
Thank you, I've just finished my very first bag ever following your video. Thank you very much, it turned out really really well and I am so proud of myself.
If you zigzag around your foam first it makes a huge difference. Just something I learned from one of the pattern makers. Love your videos. Thank you
I am soooooo thankful I found your channel. Your tutorials are the absolute best. I love how you break everything down and you don't assume everyone already knows how to do certain techniques. You have the perfects tutorials for beginners! Big fan!!!!
You do a wonderful job of teaching. You’re so detailed and I love how you show the stitch length. Thanks
Thank you so much!
Yes! The stitch length is so helpful!
Thank you for that great video! I only sew for two years and... I DID IT!!! the bag looks great and I am really happy🥰
Your videos are the absolute BEST on CZcams. Love that you provide the time index-so helpful. You make the process easy and enjoyable. Thank you!!
So I watched your tutorial about 10 times and finished making this today (it was a two day affair 😂). I’m so pleased with how it turned out. Thanks so much for the brilliant tutorial!

I also just recently discovered these patterns, and am totally obsessed. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Bagstock patterns are some of my new favorites as well! Thank you for watching!
Awesome tutorial. You make sewing much easier for me. Thanks!
It is so helpful to show the time stamps which is a very useful to check back whichever you are up to . Thank you ,

Excellent teaching video!!! Very direct and to the point…no extraneous talk…I loved it!
I absolutely love your tutorials because it's so easily explained and super easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your skill and patience and love for what you do with the world. budding bag lady
Awww that's incredibly kind of you to say Nicola! Thank you for taking the time to do that. Let me know if you have any questions along the way!
i have watched several Sunshine Wristlet Crossbody videos, and this is the best. Thank you.
Jess, thank you. I love your tutorials and can depend on them not missing steps. ❤️
Beautiful!! I love watching you sew and create
Thank you so much Sue!
I literally just finished sewing this bag, and I couldn't have done it without you Jess!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Just finished this gem. Couldn't have done it without you and this video. Many thanks.
Your instructions are so clear and precise….
Jess, I used your tutorial to make Sunshine Crossbody and it turned out great! Your videos are so well done. Thank you!
This is a phenomenal tutorial! You did an amazing job. Soooooo easy to listen to as well. Crazy Love this bag!!!!
Just finished this! Never would have been able to without this video! Thank you so much. I’m proud of myself 😳
I'm so proud of you too Alice!! I'm so happy you like it!
Thanks for the great tutorial-again! ❤
I like your use of Decovil Light for the strap. Game changer! Thanks, Jess.
Brilliant tip on the 1/2" seam in the vinyl area! I never thought about that, but I LOVE IT!
@Jaime Penrod, can you give me an estimate of the timestamp where she did this?
I love your idea about adding an extra line of stitches to prevent the pressure I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that I was just stitching over top of my original ones and that was just causing more stitches to be seen I can’t wait to try this new trick on my next bag.

I was looking for this kind of bag for a very long time . Thanks to you that have solved all my confusions .❤❤
you have the prettiest fabrics
Aww thank you! I'm an easy sale at the fabric store.
@@OklaRoots lol I know exactly what you mean, I keep talking myself out of buying more. Do you get most of them online or from physical stores?
Hey Jess! Your videos, your channel... are so pretty 🎆
Your tutorials are so clear, so organized and concise that I just enjoy to watch them. Anyway... you’ve been doing a terrific job 💝
I’ll stay tuned.
That's so kind of you to say, thank you sincerely!

Well Done Jess, Thanks a Bunch!!😊
Your video came out at a perfect time! I just printed out this pattern today and I am about to pull fabric. Great video, you always make it look easy and your instructions are so helpful.

I really like this. It is cute. I love the fabric and vinyl.
Thanks Mary-Ann!
This bag is soooo cute! It's now on my list of things I just have make. You seriously cannot beat decovil light. Another great thing about decovil is when it sits for awhile the wrinkles all relax. Well worth the price because of the professional look it gives a bag. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!! Keep up the fantastic work!
I totally agree Rona! Decovil light is just such a dream.

Cute bag! You did a great job! YOU are a delight, too!
