I'm coming back to this almost a year after it was uploaded and woah! I've actually found myself nostalgic for the beginning of all of this. Not the horrors, the deaths and the suffering of course, but I saw so many acts of kindness, so much love and a "we're all in this together" collective feeling.
Hi Jess. You are such a breath of fresh air for me. I work at Vanderbilt in Nashville so I don’t get to quarantine. I see the other side of all of this and it’s heartbreaking. Coming home and seeing your wonderful smile and watching you sew is exactly what I needed. Thank you for being there for me in my time of need ❤️
Oh Georgie, thank you so much for everything you're doing right now. I can honestly say that everyone out there fighting this are constantly on my mind and in my heart. I can't even imagine what you're going through.
You have 9,686 people who have watched this tutorial. You are not only educating but you have brought joy and compassion to all of those people in this insane time we are living in. You should be very proud of yourself!
Thank you so much for the detailed video!!! I needed every step!! You are my favorites bag maker to follow. You have a beautiful heart and personality. So patient. Because of you, well.. All GLORY to GOD, but also because of you, I was able to make a bag, and 2 wallets!!! And I am in love with them and so proud of myself. Thank you, thank you for making these tutorials!!! 😃
Our little community is one of the hot spots in Kansas and we are now on a 30 stay home mode. The instructors from are local YMCA are encouraging social distancing walking and running challenges, doing facebook live yoga and zumba classes for us. Our librarians are doing story time from home for the kids. It's very encouraging how everyone is reaching out to help in any way they can to bring a little bit of fun into our days. Thank you for your tutorials. I enjoy them immensely!! Can't wait for the next quilt block! (And your facebook group is the best!)
Ohhh you are cutest little thing. Love your you tubes. I’m an old grandma and learning from all your videos, it’s true, you can teach an old dog new tricks. 👵🏻👍🏻
thankyou Jess , I love the tip about double stitching on the seams, , bag turned out cute, and thank you for being so possitive, you brighten up the days
Retired grandma just discovered your videos. Absolutely love you!! Great teacher, explains why to do it this way and not that way. I have been sewing for many years but enjoy learning new ways and different projects.
What a beautiful bag! But the thing I really want to talk about is what a beautiful young lady you are. I have never met you but your generosity, your compassion, your joy and your love for people and animals just shines through the tutorials that you do for us. Your family and friends are so blessed to have you in their lives. This world would be so much better off if more people were like you. So thank you for just being you and keep bringing the sheer joy you resonate through all of your tutorials. I know you make my day much brighter!!
Your words of encouragement at the beginning came at the right time for me. This week has been the worst! Not just because of cv19 but just life in general. Thank you for your kind words!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a nurse in Scotland and once this chaotic time is past I want to make some of these bags and pop some pamper goodies in them for my colleagues. 😘
Jess, here at our rural/ranch/home in Texas , we are most assuredly following the guidelines for health and safety . Your video came at the perfect time to lift me up and change my perspective. Thank you from the bottom of my big ol country heart, youngster. Keep em coming .
Awww thank you Teena! I definitely know the sinking feelings we are all experiencing with this pandemic. But together, we'll get through it. I've never felt more connected with everyone than I do right now. Crazy!
Thank you for such a lovely intro, you are a breath of fresh air! Really enjoy your tips and tricks with the zipper, makes for a easier and more profession look on a bag. Very helpful for people like us that have a standard sewing machine and having extra bulk from a zipper can be tricky.
I"ve made many of these bags. I'm sew glad you are letting your fans know about this pattern!! This is a really quick sew and looks fantastic when complete.
Thank you sooo much for making these tutorials. Between this current situation and having anxiety, you help me live in the moment and enjoy learning new things. I came across your channel searching for masks, well I am done and now cant stop going to your channel for new ideas. Thank you soooo much. Stay safe and healthy. Keep up the great work you do.😘
I have to thank you for this tutorial. I made this bag today and was super intimidated by a few of the techniques but your video was so easy to follow. I made a few mistakes, thank goodness I used scrap fabric. My machine really doesn't like sewing through heavy layers. And I got real acquainted with my seem ripper, but I got it done. I feel much more confident now to try this on some better fabric. Thank you again!
I've started putting a little cornstarch on the vinyl that needs to be topstitched. I also use a teflon foot. It stitches perfectly and wipes right off.
Hi Jess. Just catching up on your older videos. I love Lauren and I loved how you did this bag. Fellow Floridian here, West Palm Beach, and hoping for some cooler temps soon. Love your channel.
I have made several of these bag 80% , 60% 50% . The small ones make really cute cross body strap purses for my grade daughters . They love them . So much fun to sew
Just purchased the pattern and am going to attempt this as a 50th birthday present for my cousin. I will be using all quilters weight cotton and maybe will attempt some quilting before assembling. I’m really intrigued with the zipper technique you’ve demonstrated. Thank you for sharing, as always!
OMG. I so appreciate all of your videos, they have helped me come so far and I have been able to start my own business! to help support my family through this pandemic. god bless you!!!!
You have such a great personality, it's hard to not smile, watching your videos. This was a great tutorial, and even though I've seen Lauren make them as well, it was still awesome. It's cool to see other people's takes on the same bag.
I like this bag very much the way you did it. You make most things look so easy. I know this one is, but I like the way you explain what you're doing. Thank you Jess. 😊
Absolutely loved this video ! So easy to follow and I learned how to finish a zipper that looks really sleek and professional! Great job and thank you for the enthusiasm and love u put into your videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
Great attitude! Now that I’m retired, this is not too different from my day to day activities with the exception of being able to go to church and meeting up with other retirees for coffee. But, I do remember having kids with chicken pox(yep, before the immunizations) and we were isolated for 2 weeks plus.
I'm late to the party making this pouch. Have been on a quest for the "perfect" make-up pouch but I digress.I heard you mention how difficult it was to sew the very shiny vinyl. I have had the same problem too; until... Sewer's Aid. It's a nonstaining lubricant. You add it straight on the vinyl & a little goes a long way. I saw the lady from K.Azcona Designs use it on her heartbreaker bag, so I thought hey Ill try it. I love it. I get nice even stitches topstitching on very shiny vinyl and my Bernina #54 teflon foot has no issues gliding over the vinyl. Love your videos! Take care🧵👛
Hi Jess, the hug thing is seriously getting to me too! Thanks for the wonderfully uplifting intro! We WILL get through this together! ❤️ #hugsforall #sewforsanity
I really appreciate your explanations for each step! You have a very patient way of walking us through everything, which makes me feel much for confident in my sewing abilities. 😃 Can’t wait to try this out!
Hi Jess! You have a fantastic attitude, LOVE that!!Thanks for doing this tutorial, I always learn something from you and have put this on my next must-do purse list!
I have the ham but if you like using your hand, like I do, I use an ironing hand mit. I think I got it at Joanns. It works great for flat surfaces. I love this too. Looks easy and super cute!
@@OklaRoots I appreciate you and your channel! Although I've been sewing since I was young, if it wasn't for you, I'm not sure I'd be making bags! And so far, I love the 2 styles I've made so far following your lead! Thank you for your easy to follow tutorials and inspiration! You rock, Jess!
Jess your so inspirational! I love your videos and your such a positive person. I look forward to your videos and your inspiration. Thank you and I am sending hugs to you.
Wanted to share...Been practicing sewing on clear vinyl making project pockets before I make this bag with the vinyl sides. I use sandwich wrap paper from Smart and Final for appliqué sewing which was recommended by someone in my sewing class. Tried it on vinyl and it ROCKS! I lay in against the vinyl paper side down on machine bad. Sew on other side using silicone foot. It glides.... and the sandwich paper in budget friendly rather the parchment paper and not as fragile as tissue paper. I bought 12x15, 1000 sheets. I think I have plenty.
Jess thank you so much for your videos. I’ve been a subscriber for your channel for awhile and have been very interested in making bags. And I did thanks to you. I appreciate your hard work, and tips that you provide. I’m an intermediate sewer and I love a challenge 😁 I’m going to make this bag for my friend for her birthday. Thank you again 😊
i have not done much sewing in a very long time, but i have sewn simple boxed bags in the past. you gave so many good pointers and tips about how to make it look so professional and crisp. i've dug my machine out to start making masks. i may have to try my hand at bags again at some time. thanks for sharing. i'v sub'd
I have one of those style stiletto/rippers....my brother-in-law made it. Actually I have a blue one and a white one with red swirls. Had him make some for gifts, too.
Hi Jess this new zipper thing you got going here is freakin fantastic ! I use this technique in my bags it’s a little more to prepare the zipper but better than all that bulk in the ends. Thank you for sharing ❤️ love your bags !
Thank you for your great tutorials and positivity! I have enjoyed watching your channel on days that I didn't feel well enough to see (not covid!) I hope you have a wonderful week☺
