How do I enter the giveaway? I'm logged in here at youtube but can't find it. TIA

The purchased pattern is only one piece…the shape of the main bag. The rest of the items are measurements you cut. The gusset has to be shaped by hand. I cut my patterns from a cricuit or my laser and now I will need to enter the measurements myself and design my own pattern. What did pay $5.99 for?

i find your videos so helpful. i do learn new things in each video

This was extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks, I forget how to do this when I haven’t done it for awhile.

Great , I will try

Are the handles leather webbing? I don’t see on the website. Or are they fabric?

What a great tutorial! Thank you! Very informative but easy to understand and follow. I’d say even a beginner could follow this. ❤❤❤❤

Given it is a free pattern, why not include the size of squares as you discuss the materials needed and as your making it?

Love that you have kits for Halloween and the holidays!! Awesome tutorial too.

Rather disappointing, I ordered two Ruth kits, and now I sit without a pattern. Following your link always takes me to request a pattern via email. I would expect to receive an automatic message to download a pattern with my order confirmation. It’s Friday evening and I’m guessing I’ll go all weekend without receiving a link. The link received with the kit can’t be found. Sorry but this isn’t very good customer service.

Thank you for the video! It was very helpful to follow along while reading the pattern. My bag turned out great!

It is super cute! Looks easy to make! just in time for Holiday Gifts!

How long does the base coat take to dry? How long does it take for each top coat to dry? I have been waiting a half hour between coats, should I just test with my finger?

Yeah I can spin basketball on my fingertip but I can't install a zipper pull. LOL

Exciting! And I love your 5 tips, especially the last! Thank you.

I have made this bag once already but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it with more structure? I'd love this bag if all sides were really sturdy. Any suggestions?

That was an awesome video. I struggle with these open ends and end up hand stitching/tacking to make them look better. But these methods just solved that problem. Thank you

Hey kinda off topic but I got 10 meters of white zipper and I want it to be a different colour. According to you, do you think I can use some good fabric paint and paint that white part around the zip in my desired colour 😅? Will that be a good idea?

Excellent techniques. Thank you!

First time, thank you for the great tutorial! Success, I have labels!!

Your 2nd method is not the Butler method I’ve used, but it works!

Wow.. great tutorial.. so easy to follow.. thank you sister

Wow.. great tutorial.. so easy to follow.. thank you sister

This is such a great gift idea!! Thanks for the kits.❤

Thank you for this video. I have bought 4 of these to make for Christmas gifts.

Could you cut your pieces with the foam out of the seam allowances and still have a structured bag?

Why is the lining an inch shorter than the exterior? It doesn’t fit down into the bag bottom.

Thanks loved info 😊

These are FANTASTIC tips! Totally sharing with all of my students!

This was a game changer! Thank you!

That was a great tutorial, thanks!

Would making the top out of cork & the bottom out of waxed canvas work?

Thank you so much for these lessons. I am sewing for the first time since I took home ec in 8th grade....this is not a 10-minute project for me - each coaster took about an hour! However, I am getting a little better with each one!

I have only used the second method. The other two are new to me. The third option seems easy to do.

Hi can you prepare a seperate video fir interfacing and stabilizers? Thx patty

That third method is terrific!! I’ve never seen that before!!

I have been struggling with zippers lately and this video cane out the perfect time! So excited to try these out! Thank you!

Thank you for this excellent tutorial!

Thank you for the great tutorial. Also, I LOVE your little vest. It looks to be hand crafted. Could you possibly share the pattern if there was one use? Thank you!

Thank you! I can't say how much I appreciate these 3 methods which are far superior to what I had been using.

I have sewn for decades and bags for a very long time and the third method is totally new for me. Can't wait to give it a try

Thank you, great tutorial!

Why is your “Butler Method” called that? Amy Butler does not sew down the zipper ends, she pulls the tape out with forceps instead. Too many people are naming different techniques the Butler Method. Check with Amy on this.

Good info.

Great info. Thank you

Epic! 😊

I started out doing zips like you’re showing, but lately I just pull out any extra teeth and add zip stoppers to top. So much easier and more professional results for me. Zipper kits are handy for so many repairs in my alterations business.

Cute! I'll just use the original pattern, enlarge it and add the tabs to the side. I have the free pattern.

BEAUTIFUL! I was sitting here wrestling with this for like 15 minutes. Coming here first next time.
