Thank you! I will say that most of my videos tend to be time lapse style. I'm so glad you found this one useful. A little tip is if the title of one of my videos says "First make" then it will be mostly if not all at a high speed set to music because it isn't intended to be a tutorial. If it says "Let's make it" then it will be mostly at normal speed and I'll be talking through a lot of it.
Thanks very much for sharing what you know. I love the way the colours came together. My granddaughter would REALLY love it. I would appreciate more of your tutorials..Thanks again!
Thanks for the video, it was helpful with good tips. I've made a dozen or so Redwoods and now I am totally hooked on the Sallie Tomato Myrna. Six made so far and 2 on the table, but thanks to your video I see a bunch of Devons in my future!!
I'm so glad you found it helpful. I haven't made the Myrna or the Redwood, though I've had a few people mention the Redwood to me. May have to give that one a go. Thanks for taking the time from your busy day to watch and give feedback.
You’re saying you pull your zipper at a 45 degree angle at the ends, but you’re actually making a 90 degree angle. Just for clarification in case someone is confused.
Thanks for the tutorial. I made my first one and had some trouble because I misread my markings on my plate and sewed my lining at a 5/8” seam allowance instead of 3/8” 🤦🏻♀️. I thought it looked really big but I thought to myself “no she said 3/8, I’ll trust the process”, lol. At least I learned from my mistake and will do better next time.
You aren't alone! Actually, In this Friday's video I used the wrong seam allowance on the slip pocket inside the bag and didn't realize it until I was editing the video.
I have this pattern, it drove me nuts that front panel, i made a couple of these one was for my swap on Sew Whatever group, terrible measurements , but I love the outcome when i finally got it done, I like how you did your top zipper , thanks for the video
That's part of what prompted me to make this video. I saw so many people had trouble with the measurements and getting it to piece properly that I thought I'd share my process. It can be a little confusing, and I do agree with a lot of others in the group that the price doesn't match the product. I feel like for a pattern at this price point there should be more precise measurements, or in the very least pattern pieces. I do love the end result though. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I had trouble as well! Anyone making this for the first time cut your pieces at least 1\4inches bigger! ( it will save you Sooo much aggravation!) 😊 awesome video! Ty😀
Yeah, this is the most I've ever paid for a pattern and was pretty disappointed that it wasn't a better written one. I'm a bit more careful to research patterns that are written by someone I haven't purchased from before.
Are you backstitching on the vinyl? I just started working with vinyl and hate it because everything I've seen says you have to tie off threads. But if I can backstitch it would make it so much more enjoyable! Also, do you have any tips on how to get the corners by the top zipper to pop out better? I've made two Devon's so far and both of them have "dents" at the corners because I can't get the seam to pop out enough.
I do back stitch depending on the project and what machine I'm using. *A lot of domestic machines don't have the same stitch length when back stitching as when stitching forward, so in that situation, I would tie off instead of back stitching. *On my more expensive bags, I will always tie off when top stitching. *For join seams, I back stitch. You can't see it on the finished bag. For the corners, any advice I give here will be guesswork without seeing it. Before tucking your lining into the bag, reach in and make sure that the seam allowance is laying flat inside. As you tuck in your lining, use a blunt tool to reach inside and gently push out that part. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask and if I don't know the answer, I'll do my best to help you find it.
I must apologize. I tried to find the video and it looks like I saw it on a different platform and not on RU-vid. I'll be doing a video to demonstrate it and it will be posted this Friday.
The machine I'm using in this video is the Juki DU1181-N. I do absolutely love it. It's one of the best investments I've made for my studio. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch.
I love how you do the zipper ends.......perfect..............wish I could hear you better.my sound is full on and, well, ...... thank you for sharing, love the way you teach........fyi not sure what changed at end of tutorial but the sound was good.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm getting used to some new recording equipment and had my wireless mic clipped right in front of my machine which made the sound really loud when I was adjusting the stitch length and back stitching. I moved my mic a bit over halfway through when I realized how loud it must be. I overcompensated when editing for the noise and have (hopefully) since learned my lesson.
Loved the video. Can you share the tape you used.is it score tape? I seam to have a a hard time peeling mine apart and it does not stick to my fabric that well so I am in search of a good strong tape.. Thank you
Can I ask what stitch length you use for seams and for top stitching? Also do you have a preference in a type of thread?meant to also say I really liked your video, very clear.
I use Selric bonded poly thread and love it with this machine. I use a 2.5 mm stitch length for sewing unless it's several layers, then I'll increase accordingly. For topstitching, I use a 4.5 to 5 mm.
The finished zipper length is listed in the pattern. I'm sorry, but I won't give any specific dimensions or measurements here as this is a paid pattern.
Hmm. I do use a mic. I may have over adjusted the volume when I realized that having my wireless mic clipped to the front of the machine instead of my shirt was a bad idea. I'll make sure to have it set properly in the next one. Thanks for letting me know!
@@judithrey66 yes, but if she does it louder, people can turn their sound down, but we cannot play it any higher than our computer or what ever we are using.
Thank you for letting me know. This is being addressed as I'm getting used to some new recording equipment and had some technical issues. Hopefully, you'll be able to hear me better in the coming weeks.
