Your content is the BEST bag making content I have found anywhere by far! Thank you so much, it's really helped answer so many of my questions. In my opinion it's the best bag making vlog on RU-vid.
Love love love you!!! I am an old sewer and learned on a treadle playing around with scraps at the age of 5. I sewed all 5 of my children's clothes, have done semi-professional costuming, upholstery, bags, craft fair items, etc and I still learn from every tutorial and video you make! Thanks for sharing in such a fun way!
Love your video content!!! 1 other alternative to rivets is the Chicago screw for those not able to invest in all the rivet setting tools. You just need to make sure the depth of the screw is the right depth for your fabric & project. Keep making your fantastic video content!
After watching this video, I had to just sit and think a few moments. Tock Custom has mentioned you on his RU-vid channel. Never got around to looking for you. But RU-vid recommended a video a few days ago, so I have been looking at a few of your videos. I gotta say that your videos are so enjoyable. I'm at the hardware obsession stage. So much I have learned and a lot I want to do many more times. By the way, since you are also a fan of pink, there's a company that sells a pink press and dies. I have not bought mine yet, but the moment I saw it, I was screaming (just on the inside) mine, mine, MINE!
Thank you for showing this ol dog new tricks. I've made a few small bags, and am interested in making more. Your tutorial of hardware has helped in what I should use and make them "cleaner looking". Thanks.
@@fiercekittenz cool! My IG is hgockel. I just watched your blue calla clematis tutorial and got the pattern to try. I’m playing with printing maps, heat pressing pellon vinyl and sewing into bags. Would love your thoughts on this! I think sublimation printing maps wouldn’t cut it very well. I think maybe I should just do feature panels on bags rather than the whole thing.
Hi, Helena here from Slovenia, Europe! 🤗I'm so happy that I found your channel, you rock! ❤️ Thank you so much for all the info! Now I must watch all your other videos 😄
Thank you for this VERY INFORMATIVE video. What size(s) of rivets do you recommend using as in the NCWallet or for straps to bag to secure? So that when I look at purch a press I will also get the needed dies. Thanks again
Thank you madam for your kindly instructions. I saw this video today. Already i make bags with fabrics. But i didn't have any idea about this kind of hardware. And no idea where can i buy them.
In regard to the metal tags: I just had a conversation with Mr. Bruce from Guangzhou Topwin , and he offered 100 tags similar to yours for $70.00 dlls. which is a great price, but he wanted to charge $184.00 dlls. for shipping and handling, which I think it is excessive. I just wanted to share.
Oh wow that doesn't seem right. Seems more like $70 for the mold and $184 for everything else. He probably mixed up his terminology. You do get cheaper pricing if you order larger quantities I'd honestly recommend 200 at least. You will blow through 100 faster than you think!
Allo Im from Canada and I was wondering where you get your hardware and webbing to be able to make profit when you do bags. I was watching one of your beautiful video and you mention Ali express. How can I get a safe supplier and free delivery. They are sooooo many. Can I ask you , which one you use for hardware lobster clasp and d ring and webbing? Thanks a million
Thanks so much for your great tutorials. Since most of my bags are smaller, I prefer the 3/4 strap hardware. I have basically stopped using D-rings and clip hooks. I'm going more with the rectangle "rings" and sliders. But I'm having a hard time finding 3/4" sizes for my hardware. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks again!
Nolvo world on AliExpress! It'll take a few weeks to get to you, but the quality is great and you can get supplies in bulk, too! If you need something faster or in smaller quantities, look at MoreMeKnow.com
Hi love your videos there great for beginner bag makers! I’m making bags for a craft show but it seems as if the magnetic snaps I’ve ordered of Amazon are particularly strong I mean like super strong which is great but i can’t sell them if know one can open the bag ! How do you keep your magnetic snaps from ripping out of your bag? I also put two pieces of fusible fleece behind the snaps . Do you have any ideas ! And again I love your videos your tips and tricks have made my bags so much more beautiful!
It's good! I prefer heavier duty stuff for larger bags. For smaller bags it does very well. I've used them for years. You can also purchase through Aliexpress. It takes a few weeks to get the goods, but it's a lot cheaper than going to a hardware supplier for larger quantities.
@@fiercekittenz Awesome! I’ll get some for smaller bags and clutches, that sort of thing. ☺️ Any recommendations for totes, backpacks, and similar? I’m also looking at alibaba for metal bag tags…
Nice video. Do you have an opinion on the Kam version vs. the Gold Star Press? I went back & forth between those because they both seem to have lots of die options and support. I'm now waiting for the Kam version. Thanks so much for sharing!!
So I have a Gold Star Press, but I will warn anyone who asks about the company as a whole: the owner is extremely racist and misogynistic. His business ethics are non-existent. I would not give him my money again, sadly. I'm glad to hear you settled on the Kam.
@@fiercekittenz I'm glad I purchased the Kam now. I also considered buying my Juki from there because I live in LA area, but got it from Sewing Machines Plus. Gold Star had low price, but chg. xtra for assembly when it is supposed to come assembled. I think they substitute a different brand of table to make more profit. I didn't want a table with Juki's competitor's name on it.
If a bag takes more than 2 hours to make, plus the cost of the materials, how can you make a profit if you're selling them on Etsy or your own website? Do you give free shipping or do you charge for it?
For me, I can easily make most of my top sellers in under 2 hours. I also buy materials in bulk, so over time, the cost is a lot less per bag. Selling the patterns and other digital goods helps fund the website. I do absolutely charge for shipping!
Oh no, I make them ALL by myself! I usually do one at a time on my Twitch streams. A typical bag will take 2x 2 hour streams. I do hope to start streaming on RU-vid to see how that goes. Twitch hasn't been the best lately for Creative streaming.
hello I like watching your videos because you are funny and I like that You know I would like to ask you if you could expand a little more How to buy on alibaba of course if you want thank you very much
I start a conversation with the store owner first. So from the link I provided, make an account with Alibaba, then send a message to the store owner and let them know you want custom, metal bag tags with the preferred size, finish (brass, rose gold, gunmetal, chrome, or rainbow), and how many you want in each. Bruce will get back to you and ask you for an image of your logo for the tags and get you a quote.
Also, word of advice on Alibaba: STAY ON ALIBABA. A lot of owners will try to get you to use email, Whatsapp, or Facebook messaging to communicate and pay. Only use Alibaba if you can please. It's for your safety.
@@fiercekittenz YES, even if you have done multiple transactions with a business, there is no concept of a long term business relationship there. They are not worried about loosing you as a customer. It's just a different business culture and you have to protect yourself.
I only lasted 8 minutes and had to stop this video. How many times can one person say “ahhhhhhh” between sentences? I would really like this info but that was as bad as finger nails scraping a chalkboard!
You could have just kept that thought to yourself, but instead of being a Debbie Durham, you're being a Debbie Downer. Sometimes I wonder what's broken in people who choose to respond like this to others on the Internet. Did you not get your daily Metamucil shake? Maybe you have some constipation and want to take it out on me with some verbal diarrhea? I'll make sure to say "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" longer, harder, and more sensual on the next video as inspiration for your daily dump.
