Helping creative makers and beginners to sew with confidence! Because sewing doesn’t have to be scary… but let me show you ❤️
I started sewing as a new mom ten years ago. Totally self taught using the magic of RU-vid. Since then, I got published in several sewing magazines, had the opportunity to work with amazing companies (such as Janome and Aurifil) and now I get to teach you.
In easy step-by-step PDF sewing patterns I teach you how to make the cutest little bags and pouches. Quick projects to finish in one sitting - quick satisfaction guaranteed.
Suitable for beginners (and all sewing skill levels really).
I'm crazy passionate about sharing my best sewing and quilting tips with you. Helping you to create with absolute confidence. Thanks for being a part of this amazing, crafting community! ❤️
PS. Sorry in advance for the strong German accent 🦄✨
Me again ... check your fabric has no stretch at all. A costly mistake and a waste of sewing time. (I must be thick to have struggled with this, as everyone else has breezed through.)
I'm on my 8th bag (Dignity Bag charity) and have been glued to the video instructions, on slowest speed, each time, for the ZIPPER! There'll be a good finished bag but I wouldn't call it "easy". I'm not a top class sew-er but I have been sewing for 40 years too.
I just finished my bag and the videos were super helpful. I made mine from denim for the outside and would NOT recommend that to others - it is just too thick, and even my very strong sewing machine struggled in places. The pattern is good, the directions are clear and I will be making another one soon!
I just finished this duffle bag, thank you for the video & pattern. I did figure out how to add inner pockets & on the other side, a zippered pocket. I made the large one. I omitted the long strap & buckles, but was very dissapointed at how short my handles are. I would advise others making this, to add at least 2-3 inches to the handle measurement. I have been sewing for 40+ years & did not measure them wrong. Otherwise, it was a fun make
So happy to hear how easy it was to customise your duffle bag. Sounds amazing. And re the straps, if they were a little short for your liking, you can definitely make them longer ❤️
It’s pretty much all from Etsy! You can find the exact items linked on my blog if you’re interested sweetcinnamonroses.com/blogs/blog/easy-duffle-bag-sewing-pattern ❤️
@@sweetcinnamonroses oh wow.. Infact Janome 6700P is on my list of options. Would you recommend the 6700P to someone who is making pouches & organisers to sell? Im confused if i should go for this or an industrial Juki may be. Any guidance would be helpful 🤍
It’s very similar to the Juki I would say. Of all the Janome machines the 6700p is the most industrial I think. Mostly metal, durable and a workhorse. But I would always suggest test driving her locally. See what you think using her.
@@sweetcinnamonroses Thank you for your suggestion, I will definitely test drive the Janome machine to gain a better understanding. Your input is greatly appreciated, especially considering your experience with a higher model. While I have always had a fondness for Bernina machines, budget constraints are currently influencing my decision-making process. The value for money offered by Janome at this point is certainly a factor I am considering. Your advice is invaluable, and I will carefully consider it as I make my final decision. Thank you for your help ☺. Take care.
Ahhh so glad I could help a little. And I agree, I do like Bernina and Pfaff as well but you get a lot more for your money with a Janome machine (especially the 6700p and M7). Good luck and please let me know how it goes ❤️
It depends which size you’re making! You can find all the measurements in my sewing pattern here if you’re interested sweetcinnamonroses.com/products/quilted-boxy-pouch-sewing-pattern ✂️❤️
Hello, love your channel! Where did you get that foot with the 1/8 th inch hole in it? That is an awesome foot. Do you know if that foot would fit a Juki TL2010? Thank you
It’s the HP foot that comes with my Janome M7. I’m afraid it will fit in your machine (as you also have to use a matching needle plate to get it to work) ❤️ Sorry it’s not that straight forward… 🫣
They are from Etsy. If you like to get the exact same ones, please check my blog post. I’ve linked all the materials I used for the bag… sweetcinnamonroses.com/blogs/blog/happy-happy-bag
I am sewing on a Janome M7 and using mostly my HP foot in combination with my HP needle plate and standard needle plate to create my 1/4” and 1/8” SA. Works like a charm but it’s quite specific to this machine ❤️
I’d wondered for ages how to make a boxed bag and found you on IG. Have now made 2 of these bags and there will be more! Thank you ❤ I watch your videos on repeat while sewing as the music is peaceful and it’s easy watching x
Just like when you’re starting. Just twist it around your needle a few times and then pull it down the needle. However you tie it though… it’s important to bury the know in your lining. You will never see it again ❤️
That’s a very good question. Technically you could use a normal needle but I’m lazy and hate changing them. So I’m using a jeans/ denim needle ALL THE TIME. Making sure it doesn’t break on me when sewing through loads of layers of fabric, zipper, batting…
