Avellana by Shamballa Bags

[@suelangford100]

Just about to start my bag. Thanks for this tutorial, I hate following instructions, videos just make more sense.

[@dottiemathews6853]

LOL!! GURL YOU KNOW YOU ARE MAKING MY DAY!! LOL!! NOW I GOT TO GO MAKE A BAG!! (JUST SAW THAT PHONE BAG! AWESOME!!)

[@malley4747]

I just finished my Avellana and I love it.

Looks great. Couple of hacks to help it keep its form: 1) Pinch & stitch or rivet the top edge to force the dimples inward. This will keep it from trying to relax open while carrying it, especially if the pull-strap comes loose. 2) Use a clip lock on a buckle strap instead of the magnetic button. The strap/clip combo will allow the bag cover flap to still cover the top if the bag is super full (with stuffed toys, blankets, clothes, etc... you know how some of us love to over-stuff our bags 🤣 ).

[@SiahSwag]

Thanks for the tips!

[@bysiili]

Yes I totally agree with you, about the backpack-idea Kassiah! 👍 I just made this beauty yesterday in a live and turned into a mini backpack! 😁 My first one, love it! It turned out so good, really happy with it! ✨ So try this pattern out people, it's really a great pattern! 🥰❤️ Great work with the video as always! You're amazing! ✨👏

[@SiahSwag]

That is awesome!

[@DeannaLopez-l1f]

How fun I’m making one today. I’m so nervous but I know it will come out good

[@malley4747]

Your fabric choices are always so perfect

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! 😊

[@debibaber4392]

I bought an Arbor Press at Harbor Freight to do my grommets. It works great.

[@SiahSwag]

I may have to do that

[@catherinefreimann9474]

I love the lighter brown as it gives the whole bag a more polished look. Great job

[@Melissa-sews]

Your hair looks so so pretty!!

[@cathytimmons4641]

I just watched the Kamsnaps grommet demo video and I think the die is specific to their grommets and not those you can buy elsewhere. It’s a pretty straightforward installation. The foam lined piping is GENIUS!

[@JudithBrummett]

I love this bag. I am a VERY beginner to bags and you are showing me things I never considered doing.

[@stephanieryan396]

Can I say that I love your intro with your Dad!

[@rosaliepingree4198]

I really enjoyed how do conducted this tutorial. Please do more like this! I'm learning more sewing techniques this way. 🥰

[@cindybenson1546]

Looks like I need to go shopping! Pattern, Grommets and dies for sure.

[@ruthdrews496]

I think you did a great job, especially the grommets with what tools you had. We never had presses long ago…

[@juliepearson5880]

Absolutely love it! Would love to see you do a backpack version 😘

[@fabienneopitz4027]

merci Kassiah et en plus je me perfectionne en anglais graçe à tes vidéo 😍

[@malley4747]

Beautiful job

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! 😊

[@peggybray5450]

Really cute bag

[@sherrymarsh736]

What a great idea for the piping! Definitely going to try that.

[@alexismckenzie1617]

I absolutely love this bag!! This might have to be my next selfish sew because I want one now! 💕

[@meishawilliams7928]

I picked up this pattern. Can’t wait to make it. Love your version

[@darlenerichter1013]

The link for aft and warp is not working, say they are not there. Your bag is absolutely gorgeous, thank you for sharing this tutorial

[@lindastewart5630]

Hiya Kassiah!! I have been waiting for this tutorial before I buy the pattern🤗 I shall grab some lunch and a big mug of tea and watch in awe!👌🏻💖X

[@malley4747]

Did you know Kam snaps sells the dies for the grommets.

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

Great job Kassiah! I love it.

[@shariz2998]

Oh. Turned out so cute!

[@nataliemacdonald7695]

I love your idea of foam in the piping. All I have is Annie's foam and wondering if it is too solid/thick in the piping.

[@SiahSwag]

Yes that should work!

[@malley4747]

I placed twine, thin rope along the center on top of the 1/8” ds Tape.

[@madelinegreen660]

Love this bag great tutorial 😘

[@sandravalencia960]

Marvelous video 😍 Thank You 🤗

[@Натали-д3г]

Классные сумки, смотрю ВАС из России. Мне все нравится!!!

[@sharonkennedy8612]

Bag looks great

[@pamelaBaron-kv4kj]

Beautiful bag, always love your videos. I sew patterns you do tutorials on.❤️

[@lefty4180]

Soo pretty…beautiful ❤

[@margiecastonguay517]

I can't get my press to do it either I must not be doing it right also, idk.

[@LauriesPlace999]

Man KZbin is having a bad day! I was not able to comment on anything earlier today, then later when I came back to watch it froze at an ad 😂

[@brendakish3761]

Happy to see you use a stiletto, I worry for your fingers 😊

[@sharon-z]

Hi Siah. What is the width of the fabric piece for the foam piping? Did you cut it 1 1/4 inches as in the pattern? Yours looks a little less wide than mine did but it could just be camera angle. Thanks!

[@SiahSwag]

Yes I did cut is smaller. I did a little under an inch, but I would just do one inch wide.

[@sharon-z]

@SiahSwag thanks! I will do that! Making this bag today.

[@janetfoster230]

I have the Lux lite nylon and it is really hard to cut as it shifts around. Is the regular Lux nylon easier to cut out. Any tips? Thank you for a great video

[@SiahSwag]

Yes the light is super hard to work with in my opinion…. The regular is much easier.

[@Missy_Made_It]

Thanks!

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you 😊

[@joysullivan9031]

Hi Siah would you say this is medium or large size bag. Thanks for the tut

[@SiahSwag]

I would say medium 😊

[@sharon-z]

May i ask what foam u used for the piping? Thanks!

[@SiahSwag]

Just regular foam interfacing

[@jacquelinejee5167]

Hi Siah . I’m just learning to make bags. Please could you let me know what length stitch do you use on seams and also what length for top stitching. Absolutely love your videos Thank you so much for your inspiration 😊

[@SiahSwag]

Seams I use about 4-4.5 on my machine and topstitching and basting 5-5.5 😊

[@jacquelinejee5167]

@@SiahSwag thank you so much 😊

[@dalvaserranomondesi]

Love Love the video!!

[@Missy_Made_It]

What kind of tape do you use to cover the snap ?

[@SiahSwag]

Duct tape works great

[@sweetdi99]

What size grommets did you use?

[@Cuprum-ws5lo]

That happy accident must have been your subconscious telling you to use something else, because I think the contrast with the lighter color looks better than if it were the same color.

[@NataliaDiaz-ft5jk]

Soy de Argentina y me gustaría que hagas los moldes en espanol y lo expliques

[@Jaded6911]

Turned out cute and I'm not a pink fan. Keep forgetting to ask where did you get the screw driver? It isn't in your list.

[@SiahSwag]

Oh man it’s because I don’t remember! 🤣

[@rgvtexas8391]

A twist lock instead of the snap fastener would function much better IMO

[@SiahSwag]

I agree
