[@kimberlyrice4672]

I adore this bag!!! Now I need another pattern🤣... BTW I love how you sew with your cat🤣😍

[@dottiemathews6853]

this bag is so freakin cool! i LOVE THAT APPLIQUE!

[@dottiemathews6853]

I THINK BEN LIKES THE RUMBLING VIBRATION OF THE MACHINE. LOL!

[@jweg4051]

Was feeling kinda burned out after Christmas present sewing. This is giving me new life and motivation to get something going, perhaps a selfish sew. Lol thanks so much! Wonderful video!

[@Mellie726]

another fun video. Enjoyed Ben just sitting there on the edge of your machine with no fears of it at all. You are too funny just going about the bag lining as if he wasn't there, tossing the pieces over him. I guess he loves the attention. he's a cutie.

[@LaurenMormino]

He TRULY does. He's too funny

[@cathyblaylock9390]

I’m watching this in the middle of the night because I can’t sleep. I loved it! Thank you very much for all the videos you make, and for keeping me company when sleep eludes me. 🌙

[@cindyblick2782]

I live in Wentzville mo and love your videos! I am new to bag making but do enjoy it. I have learned absolutely everything about sewing on you tube. I love watching your videos while walking on the treadmill lol

[@LaurenMormino]

Hi Cindy! So near to me! That’s a good use of time. Do a couple miles for me 😂😂

I hope you post in the group, if you do the invisible connectors! This bag is magnificent! Great video! ♥

[@Angela10226]

She is a beauty!! Had to laugh every time you shuddered after looking at the bag. Awesome design you should be very proud. Thanks for a great video.

[@LaurenMormino]

hahaha Thank YOU for watching despite my weirdness hahaha

[@orangenurse06]

I loved Ben the helper in this one!!!!!!

[@marybowers789]

Very beautiful 🌹

[@danaschaefer6473]

New to your channel. Love your videos. For the pieces you cut out, you can save and put them as an appliqué on another bag. Thanks for all the tips! I have learned so much!!

[@aimeefay6246]

I already purchased the pattern and haven’t had a chance to sew it up yet, but I’d totally buy that bag! Gorgeous work!

[@Rose39M]

Yes you are correct in wanting to keep it Lauren! It's absolutely beautiful!

[@DesignsByRareBeauty]

This is the version why I bought this pattern. I will be adding a zipper panel to it though. Thank you so much Lauren. I love this version 💕

[@dottiemathews6853]

WHOA LAUREN SWEETIE! WAIT A MINUTE! YOU LIVE IN ST LOUIS? I'M ACROSS THE RIVER IN E ST LOUIS (WELL ACTUALLY I LIVE IN ATLANTA GA BUT, I'M FROM E ST LOUIS) THAT IS AMAZING! YOU GO GURL! YES! EVERYBODY SHOULD SLAY YOUR BAGS FABULOUS! I LOVE YOUR BAGS AND YOU INSPIRE ME TO KEEP ON DOING WHAT I'M DOING TOO! KEEP ON SLAYING FABULOUS IN THE LOU!

[@dottiemathews6853]

BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE! LOL! IT'S A BLESSING FROM THE SEWING GODS! LOL!

[@TheCreativeone1]

Just started sewing clutch purses this year and I have to say watching your videos make me feel so inadequate. You are amazing! 💞 Hope to be as good one day.

[@DesignsByRareBeauty]

I would keep it. It is stunning. No thanks to Ben's help 🤣🤣🤣

[@alexandrabalogh590]

Hi, I'm very happy with the video. I learn a lot from you. Now I buried my bag for the first time. Make a lot of videos. :) Hi. Alexa

[@dottiemathews6853]

MADE WITH LOVE AND CAT HAIR! LOL!

[@sandralewis9844]

Just thought I would give you a tip i purchased a knife magnet and added it to top of my machine works great. I’ll try and send picture

[@joycelondon1639]

Beautiful design 💘 ly bag

[@Noskipstitch]

Lol Ben, my cat does the same thing 🤭

[@donnaprosser9616]

Lady, you are amazing! Did you finish your editing? I LOVE watching you sew. My husband comes in sometimes and asks what I am doing. I answer, Watching Loren sew.

[@lemonberrydancewearwithrac3261]

I love the pops of color! I would be sad to sell it too!

[@belovedsgirl2494]

Came across your videos a week ago and I’m obsessed with watching you make bags! They are so awesome. I’m hoping to have your skill level someday. You are very talented. If I could just offer a bit of advice? Maybe try another camera angle. Sometimes we can’t see all that your doing and in this one it was very shaky and hard to watch. Otherwise this is great!

[@jewelstuck2773]

Beautiful bag! Making one this weekend! Can you tell me what tool you use to pinch the strap end cap?

[@heartkey61]

Hi Lauren great video thanks for sharing. Do you have the template for the reversed appliqué available?

[@LaurenMormino]

It's part of the pattern :) Templates can be purchased from topsandbobbins.com

[@4golfing]

Thanks, just a thought. perhaps a headset wireless, so that when you walk away we can hear you clearly. sometime, i have to go back to relisten to understand.

[@LizMcDon]

Lauren, love your videos!! What is the purpose of the scrap piece under the hardware of the strap connector? Also, can you sew this bag on a domestic machine? I have a Bernina 765. Thanks again for great videos.

[@LaurenMormino]

Hi Elizabeth! I use the scrap to protect the vinyl from getting scuffed from my walking foot. I haven’t used a Bernina so I can’t say for sure but I feel like it could be!

[@karenworley8554]

I love your videos! What brand sewing machine are you using?

[@LaurenMormino]

Julie 1181N

[@mpbc25]

Hi Lauren, I love your videos. I have a question, what is the name of the plier you used on the strap ends? Thanks

[@LaurenMormino]

It’s a glass breaking plier actually!! I think it’s in the video description. If not i have a video about adding key fobs and the link is in that one!

[@mpbc25]

I found it! Thank you beautiful ;)

[@carlahimmen2978]

I have a totally stupid question. Why do you use the bonded poly thread? Is it due to the speed of the machine? Thank you! Love you!

[@LaurenMormino]

Not stupid at all! The strength and thickness work best with my machine and hold up long term on bags!

[@seamsuneven7824]

Hey Lauren....I love watching your videos!!! I have told you this many times before.☺ This video and the last Emily bag video...the angle of the camera made it hard to see what you were doing. I know you tried adjusting it in the last video but you are out of view a lot. Just in case you weren't aware, I wanted to let you know. 💜

[@LaurenMormino]

Thank you Sha-Leine for your feedback! I will work to make sure it doesn't happen in future videos

[@RebekahHartung]

Sewing with Ben 101.

[@DAGRACE]

Me again. I SO HATE RUNNING OUT OF BOBBIN THREAD AND HAVING TO MAKE SEVERAL BEFORE STARTING A PROJECT...😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬. Why cant a button thread use a spindle of thread like the top.
