Great pattern. I have made several. I can’t whip one up as quickly. I just recently made one for my daughter using a Christmas themed fabric. Posted it on Facebook and everyone was making such positive comments. One lady asked if I would make one for her and wanted to know how much. I said $75 plus shipping and she dropped the subject. It must be when it is handmade they want it for for $20. Love this tote.

[@kambyr]

Premade canvas straps… oh how far we’ve come. Amazing how much has changed in the industry in 4 years.

[@christinenicholson3033]

Love your bags most of the time I sitting all night just to watching you making your bags. I wish I have your machine to make bags as well. Have to say that I also watching other people as well you all wonderful teachers

[@jessicamarsh9779]

Omg when you make straps, it’s literally one of those “oddly satisfying” things. I could literally just watch and listen (bc your machine sound seriously soothing) for an hour straight 😂

[@LaurenMormino]

I have a video that’s sound only of strap making oddly enough!!!! 😂😂

[@michellecox6573]

I can not sew at all, but with your expertise I am quit sure I will learn. You are a very great instructor. Please keep the video coming. Also can you tell me where to buy vinyl/leather to make your purses. Also can you PLEASE make a video showing how you can know how much material to purchase. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

[@SewFelicia]

I wish we could see your every movement from cutting, pressing, sewing. I am a newbie without much imagination and learn by watching. All tips and tricks appreciated. Thanks

Too funny! My cat, Wally, is a black cat too. I think black cats are the smartest kitties! 🐈‍⬛

[@bebaderci9592]

I really like the way the extra strips of vinyl look on the top of the finished bag. Great Idea!

[@EpicPadfoot42]

Beautiful. Loved your hair 👍😊

[@dianejohanson98]

Gorgeous bag. Wish I had your skills and patience in sewing.

[@margarethanson50]

I make bags from tecycled jeans. I try to find jeans with embroidery embellishments. Id like to try some of your methods. You make it look so easy.

[@marianrooth9514]

Lauren I am very impressed with your sewing area. I am NOT an organized person but I wanna learn. If you're already did a tour of your sewing space, let me know where I can see. If you haven't done one, please think about. I am 75 and need all the help I can get. Thank you.

Hi Lauren, I would like to ask you if you can show us how you cut the accent vinyl that goes around the zipper. Thank you and have a blessed day.

[@Lorenzo-hu7fh]

Hi! I love this baaaaag!!! I was wondering if this pattern might be done in a different fabric for none walking foot machines 😋😋😋

[@cazkiwinz4300]

I’ve made this pattern many times with both vinyl and cotton/canvas fabrics on my Bernina 1010 domestic :)

[@monjournalmyjourney]

Its beautiful

[@eleanorfitzsimmons2040]

Another excellent video

[@LaurenMormino]

Thank you Eleanor!

[@eleanorfitzsimmons2040]

No, Thank you! I just printed out the new instructions and pattern pieces. I think I can do this! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I love that you gave a template for the accent piece around the zipper and drew in the box for the zippers.

[@zaftigcutie]

Is this Decovil light? Forgive me if you mention it in the video, but I must have missed it. Thanks! I love this bag 😍

[@pacificwav]

Hi, is this pattern still available as I'm struggling to find it.

[@beckymoffitt7705]

I’m cutting out my Emily tote. For the I add slip pockets like you did I use pattern piece 2? I don’t have a 6.

[@barbaraholland816]

Where do you get your choice of themed vinyl ? I can't find what I need....such as Jaws, Downton Abbey etc. Thanks

[@sewlove]

The answer about sewing machines and bobbins is the sewing machine is a lock stitch machine and the serger is an overclock machine. Hope that helps.

[@AnitaHandmadeCreations]

Nice bag, please did you get your fabric from?

[@atlladyleo1]

Can't really see what you are doing, especially when you were adding the zipper opening at around 32:00...

[@tailoredwheels-handymanalt6410]

Hello. What was that you said you used in the bottom, to use it all up? I make bags and purses as well. You're very good, btw.

[@brittandmaddy]

I love watching your videos. Where do you get your name plates?

[@viviannemckinney3156]

I also make bags and I definitely want to make this one

[@deborahdavidson1220]

I love your idea about NO BOBBINS. However it would also be a great idea if they had a space for a spool of thread instead of a bobbin that could work the same way. Just a thought/idea.

[@chellealk]

Loving the zipper pocket template, where did u purchase this.Xx☺️

[@juliefadz6339]

I LOVE your tutorial.. Simple, easy and addictive..it keeps me wanting for more!!! Just need to know what kind of fabric are you using that looks Volume enough to stand on it's own..cos you're not using any interfacing right? TQ..

[@lilianaalmeida1477]

Que lindo seu trabalho sou de cabo verde aqui não temos esses materiais você é maximo

[@Sewlady718]

Who is the designer for the gorgeous butterfly fabric? I love it and how you picked up the different colors with the vinyl and zipper. Excellent video. I have to make this bag!!! Thanks.

[@LaurenMormino]

I believe it is rifle paper co! Thank you!

Complimenti!! Bravissima e il lavoro eseguito molto bene. Peccato che non capisco la lingua! Ho seguito con interesse il tuo tutorial. Grazie. Anch'io ho un gatto nero di nome Elvis.

Hello, beautiful bag, but too long of a video, it may be edited to make it shorter. Great explanations to details. Great job!! Thank you.

[@LaurenMormino]

👌🏼

[@beckymoffitt7705]

With the thread zapper is it just safer to use than a lighter? I finally ordered the pattern for this tote!

[@LaurenMormino]

It is safer yes!

[@loraparker6790]

Love this bag and your videos and your hardware! Much love here! Just wonder why when doing your strap connectors...why not make one piece 2 x 32 then cut them down to six 4 inches sections. Just thought that may save time. Just throwing that out there.

[@LaurenMormino]

Hi Lora! thank you! Great tip!

[@kyradesignskyra7191]

what kind of fabric on the bottom? "paltex"?

[@Wendy10910]

Did you ever film that all vinyl version?

[@lindamedley4502]

I can't find the pattern for the Emily tote. I looked through the Swoon site. Help!

Do u mind sharing, Where is that butterfly fabric from?

I’m a newer sewer, and visual learner. Videos for any patterns help so much. The video doesn’t show half of what you’re doing. I was going to purchase the pattern and hardware, but unfortunately now I won’t. Bummed.

[@LaurenMormino]

Totally understandable! This was a video where I was newer to filming. Luckily I’ve got 10 other videos about making the Emily bag you could check out. But no worries 💜

I am an 809 flunky...what’s the secret to no wrinkles? Your videos are amazing btw. Thank you!!

Great video and in the process of making this bag at the moment. Your link for the Zipper Template doesn't work, do you know of another?

Hello Lauren...! I try to buy the pattern for this bag that is listed for US$11, but when I try to checkout the price goes to US$23...! why's that?

Do you have 2 in your cart?

Can i still buy a juki sewing machine without the table and it still be industrial?

Decovil light

[@bethmedeiros2736]

Linda! Parabéns!

[@EverythingCustomMade]

Beautiful bag. Is the pattern available for purchase, if yes, where can I get the pattern? Do you strongly recommend industrial walking foot machines for bag making? Do get back to me asap as your opinion will be highly appreciated.

[@LaurenMormino]

Moremeknow.Com is where the pattern is available. Yes I recommend a walking foot machine for the materials I use

[@EverythingCustomMade]

@@LaurenMormino Thank you for your quick response. Do you know if they ship internationally?

[@2121kerstin]

@@EverythingCustomMade looks like they ship. I live in Finland, Europe and transport fees are about 55 dollars. Did you ordered your materials? The bag is amazing. I made it also but I have to find the right materials. I have old Paff with only needlefeed. That requiers some changes

[@EverythingCustomMade]

@@2121kerstin Thanks Kerstin. I got another model but a straight sewing lockstitch that works like a walking foot machine. I bought most of my domestic sewing machine, embroidery machine and overlocker from the US, so I did a rough estimation for the shipping of the industrial sewing machine considering its weight and I changed my mind lol. I was working within a particular budget. The good thing is, I can sew anything from light, medium to heavy weight materials with the straight sewing lockstitch machine I bought. It came with size 130/21 needles, that alone proves it's capabilities and it sews like a dream and delivers beautiful stitches. I switched out the clutch motor for a servo motor because the sewing speed was scary to me lol, it was too fast and controlling the speed was beyond me. I have not gotten the bag pattern yet but will do so soon. What do you usually sew with your Paff? Is it industrial or domestic?

[@2121kerstin]

@@EverythingCustomMade yes its industrial. Actually its quite good machine but its not suitable for very thick materials. Here in Europe market for sewing machines and also for fabric (and especially for bags) are litllebit different. I'm still learning but looks like bags, wallets, purses and so on, is my theme. I have Pfaff 481 with totaly silent servo motor. It also cuts my yarn and in overall is just amazing machine. But its an B type machine- thanks to that I have to find out what kind of material can I sew. Instruction says that max nr 100 (16) needle. But I also have old industrial Singer 29IU3 for medium to heavy materials. I plan to sell it because that is without serve motor and its litllebit too fast (yet my handyman changed the motor and it works now with normal electricity).

[@barbara-anntacconelli1918]

I purchased the template from tops and bobbins, can I still use them?

[@LaurenMormino]

Absolutely!! The pattern pieces themselves have not changed. I've only added more!

It’s not when you are ironing. It’s when you tape up some tabs that will hold a D ring and your hands are off screen and the view is of some fabric and cut outs you have done. I know when it’s ironing because you tell us that’s what you are doing.
