Christine, I love this bag! I’m going to make some but I’m going to put the swivel clips on the bags themselves, instead of the straps. Then you can remove the strap and clip the bag anywhere else, even your belt loops!

That's a wonderful idea Cathy. I almost did that, but didn't think of a use for the clip. Good job!😀

How fun are these fabrics! Small crossbody bags are so handy❤ I keep a little bag rolled up in the bottom of my purse that is just big enough to hold my wallet and phone. It is unlined and rolls up into a nice compact little bundle. The top edge is hemmed and the sides are sewn with a French seam which is then rotated to the center front and back. The bottom is also a French seam with the boxed corners created by folding over a half inch from each side. The strap is two pieces of grosgrain ribbon that tie at the shoulder to adjust the length. The top is closed with a button and a ribbon folded in half in a cool way that creates a point on the end and a slot for the button to pass through. Might be something you could use some of your lighter weight samples for.

I've been binge watching your video library while my own studio is under construction. I'm wondering if upholstery fabric bags are washable and dryable in a washing machine and dryer? Any special washing instructions? Love your instruction by the way. So clear to understand. Thank you.

How exciting to be getting a new studio. I think I've already outgrown mine. I'll have to take over the house soon😁 I wash my upholstery fabric bags fairly often. They wash up well. I don't think I've put any in the clothes dryer though. I just wash in cold water.

I have to mention one thing! I dont know what other countries or areas have but our California ID is like a credit card with a magnetic strip. About 15 years ago I bought a small handback at a thrift store to use for going out at night. It had a front pocket with a magnetic clasp. I put my ID and ATM card in it. It demagnetized both! So I wont buy or make a purse with a magnetic clasp. Oh and then it made me realize an overnight birthday stay at a local hotel the room key got demagnetized but had not related that yet as I had my 2 other cards inside the purse in a small zipper pocket!
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs 10 месяцев назад
I think this was a problem we had here too, but I believe the cards may have changed a little. It's still definitely something to be aware of though. I prefer my bags with zips. Perhaps that's why😁

Great video. I prefer the stripes but all nice colours. Just a mention about the straps. The written sizes say 4.5" but you said 3.5" - I guess it depends on the size of your 'D' rings anyway. Hope you're keeping 'busy' in the shop with lots of visiting tourists 😁

Hi Christine. I use the fabric samples like yours. The best way I’ve found is to put the in the freezer for a week or so and when you take them out those horrible papers come off very easily. If you get the sticky bits, just sprinkle them lightly with talc. Love your videos.
@ChristinesHomeAffairs

@sybillen361
@sybillen361 Год назад
Thank you Gerry . 🥰 I have just such very sticky labels that are easy to peel off. But then they leave very sticky areas. Your method works well for this particular type. No sticking after removing. Thanks so much for your advice!!! Some can be removed well with ironing, some just make you despair because nothing works. Every manufacturer comes up with something different to drive us crazy.

I love watching your videos. I love the way you put the tab on the zipper. Do you have a video explaining it in a little more detail. ? I know there is less bulk but have not seen a picture of the finished zipper. Is there a way to avoid the zipper or tab altogether? I think on this video, you did it too short but did not show the finished top. Thanks Yes, thank you. Second video is much better explanation but still just a quick picture. You are very good at explaining and your video is clear. I am a long time sewer and am teachng Mexican ladies so am paying extra attention to those zipper corners. Lol Thank you.
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs Год назад
I didn't even consider showing the zipper Rose. Have a look at this bag. The technique for the tabs is exactly the same except that it sits flat along the fabric. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xXvBKubdyA.html or you can have a look at this video too. The zipper is at the top of the bag. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bj8WnEsS_C0.html Let me know if they don't help, and I'll do a dedicated video for the zipper tape with tabs, and I'll show the detail😊

Hi Christine, thank you for you very well explained, with lots of tips, video's. I just want to ask, do you do most of you overlock and sewing with black thread? And do not worry about the fabric colour. Also your topstitching.. in black... thank you and keep on doing this educational video's. Much appreciated
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs 8 месяцев назад
Hi Lynette. In dressmaking, I'll try to always match the thread. With my bags, I tend to favour grey and black, as they blend better with most of the fabric. If lighter, I'll go grey or white for overlocking. For topstitching, if medium to dark fabric, I like to use a bluish grey thread, but I have no set rule really. It mostly depends on what's on my shelf😁

@topicsincriticalthinkingdy9351
Hi Christine, Michigan in the house. I like the bag idea, but when it comes to the different types of fabrics, do you try to keep the polyester with the polyester, or do you mix them together? For instance, some swatches are 100% polyester, but some are a mix of cotton (25%) and polyester (75%) or some other mix. Or there might be a mix of rayon and cotton, or rayon and polyester or polypropylene and polyester...the fabric types are endless. I ask because the boards will have about four pieces sewn to it, showing the various prints for pillows, chairs, sofas and ottomans, and I'm finding that even though the color palette is set, the type of fabrics vary on that board. So do you pay attention to that, in matching the fabric types, or do you just pick your choices by the patterns and colors to put your bags together? Thank you..
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs Год назад
It depends on how varied the fabric is. Usually, I'll put similar fabric together, but with furnishing fabric it's sometimes nice to mix it up a little. 😀

Back in Singapore i used to do lot of craft stalls... I have quick question, is it okay not to use any interfacing in this crossbody bag.. The bags are looking amazing.. im just wondering whether it's necessary to use the interfacing or not in a normal cotton fabric.. kindly advise ❤

It's not always necessary to use stabilisers in your bags. It really depends on the look you're after, and how structured you'd like it 😀

I love the bags but I can't get past the handle straps, it's to heavy looking... they would look so much more lovely with strap that was half that size
@ChristinesHomeAffairs

That's a very good point Elizabeth. I think I might try to get some more narrow webbing. They'd be easy to replace😁

Hi Christine , when you use the letter sided tape for your zips, are you then sewing through the dble sided tape ? The reason I ask is that my machine needle gets all gummed up, and the machine won't sew. Thanks
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs Год назад
Maxine, I use the SewEasy double sided tape, and stitch through all the layers at once. I have never had an issue with the gum on my needles with this brand😀

What happens at the top where the zipper is not as long as the top? Does it get taken in by the seam allowance? I couldn't picture why you did the zipper that way and I'd love to know. :)
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs 9 месяцев назад
Jennifer, the zipper tabs allow for better corners on the sides of the bags, and give a nice clean finish. You can see this technique better in my most recent videos😀

How do you stitch up the hole in the lining? Did I miss that part?
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs Год назад
I don't always film that part Kat, so may have missed it. You can either whip stitch it closed, or line up the edges and sew on the machine. I usually do them by machine😁
@privatepatron8439
@privatepatron8439 Год назад
One problem i had...the opening left to turn the bag...how do you stitch that closed? I had to do a blind stitch which i am not very good at and the bags did not have a professional look.
@ChristinesHomeAffairs
@ChristinesHomeAffairs Год назад
I almost always sew it closed on the machine. Just lay the edges flat with seam underneath, and stitch very close to the edge😀
