Thank you so much for this video. I ripped my bag apart and inserted these hidden strap connectors. My bag is now sooooo cute, I can’t stop looking at it. I will definitely use this technique for my other bags. Thank you for the clear, easy and humorous directions. You bring joy to bag making 😊

Thank you so much, you literally saved a project I have been working on for a year and would never have figured this out. God bless you! ❤️

@kassiopeiahood7051 Год назад

@teresacleator_9937 8 месяцев назад

Looks amazing. A little daunting for a beginner, but fun to test on scraps. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.😊

@fiercekittenz 8 месяцев назад

Oh yeah absolutely. I honest to goodness have to come back and rewatch my video to remember the technique. I don't do it often enough that it's stuck in my head :P

@starcreativestudio01 Год назад

Thank you so much. I've not yet been able to master the hidden strap connectors. I'll definitely be giving this technique a try. 💖

@xerintha 11 месяцев назад

I've done these before but this method is MUCH better! Thank you! I just found your videos this week and I have to say, you're my kind of lady! Love your sense of humor and your geekiness. :) I'm into fantasy stuff as well.

@fiercekittenz 11 месяцев назад

Thank you!!! I'm glad it helped :) I don't use hidden straps often, but when I do, it's *chef's kiss*.

@LadyBurns2011 Год назад

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I've just completed a bag sewn with marine vinyl. I've been trying to figure out how to attached the handles so that they do not break from everyday use. I think this method will help alot!

Such a great idea - thank you!

I love your videos, especially because of all the funny and weird things you say. You combine teaching and humor perfectly, which is hard to do. I’m excited to try this technique. Thank you for the video!!

Hey kitten I've been away for a bit but I'm glad one of your videos was the first on my list. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist

That mat is amazing. I hope I can get it here in Australia.

@fiercekittenz Год назад

Oh the purple one? Yeah that's from Martelli Notions! I'm not sure about international shipping, but it's worth a shot! I love mine. It's THICK.

Você acabou de salvar minha ideia🥰

@brindafoster6518 Год назад

I love your videos. Thank you for the time you put into them. As far as hidden connectors for woven, couldn't you use a bound button hole?

@fiercekittenz Год назад

You could!

@brindafoster6518 Год назад

@@fiercekittenz Thank you

@geridine1 Год назад

This is a really great way to do the connectors! It save so many errors. Thank you! Also, I was wondering what kind of thread are you using for your fabric? I have a domestic machine so I'm not sure of my all purpose thread would be ok for this. Thank you!

@fiercekittenz Год назад

I’m using Tex 90 thread, but that’s for the industrial machine. For a domestic, I’d use upholstery thread!

@geridine1 Год назад

I watch so many of your videos, you do great professional work! I have learned a lot from you. You are into so many things and work a lot of machines. I also want to say I like your humor, the world needs more humor! I particularly like your video where are you hiding the toilet paper. lol That was really funny and at a time when it was scarce. Seriously, your videos are very knowledgeable and informative! Thank you!

@ptoste1 Год назад

Amazing and funny 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you. 😂😂😂😂😂

@ninibartolome5666 Год назад

Hey, Kittenz! Thanks for this video! Is it about 1/8 inch from the slit you are stitching?

@fiercekittenz Год назад

Yes, roughly 1/8"! You don't want to be too far away, but also not so close since you won't catch the edge of the seam, or be so close it'll rip.

@MaryJoD Год назад

I'm relatively new at sewing; if using cotton quilt fabric, could you make a buttonhole for the slit?

@fiercekittenz Год назад

You absolutely could! Just know it'll be visible on the exterior when you're done.

@HS-rp8xx Год назад

Hi! This is brilliant! I have a weird situation though. The point in my bag where I want to add this is actually at a seam. It’s for a boxed bag so it’s where the two side seams come together. Which means they would intersect the horizontal slit I’d be making for the strap connector. Is that going to create problems? How can I use this method on that bag?

@fiercekittenz Год назад

Oh yeah... I wouldn't do that, sorry :( You'd potentially weaken that seam and it would eventually pull apart. I haven't done one of those before on the horizontal slit, but if I were to do any kind of strap connector there, I'd honestly just rivet it into place.

@HS-rp8xx Год назад

@@fiercekittenz thank you!!

@mariannem8419 Год назад

What contraption do you use for your overhead camera? Thank you for the video.

@fiercekittenz Год назад

It's an Elgato mounting arm!

@brendab3613 Год назад

You mentioned that you sometimes make your Lolas smaller than the regular pattern. What size do you make them? Do you have a picture of one? Thank you

@fiercekittenz Год назад

I make them at 80% and here's a picture: instagram.com/p/CSU7NbiJazu/ I love this size, because they're small enough to do cross-body as an option and not so small that you can actually pack a bunch of stuff into them!

@nancychandler7289 4 месяца назад

Could I use this same process if I’m sewing with WPC?

@fiercekittenz 4 месяца назад

Yep!

@linzl3615 Год назад

Hey, how would you finish it with out a rivet?

@fiercekittenz Год назад

I'd sew a rectangle with an X down the middle of the rectangle!

@crafty1nmt Год назад

What is the brand of your iron?

@fiercekittenz Год назад

Oliso!

@itsmyparty4637 Год назад

I do so wish you would not talk so much and repeat yourself its very distracting, and in fact find myself just switching off the sound and watching what you are doing.

@fiercekittenz Год назад

Then this probably isn't the channel for you. I like to give thorough explanations and repeat important details, because not everyone will catch it the first time it is mentioned. Next time I'll make sure to talk like Mickey Mouse - you know, to make it more entertaining and "distracting" at the same time.
