Bonnie bucket bag by Swoon Patterns sewing tutorial

I decided not to do the outside pocket, as I like the lines of the bag the way they are. Feel free to add it in though! I have seen some great bags with it on there. If you do make this bag please come and show me in my sewing group: / seamslegitsewing
To get this pattern here is the link: swoonpatterns....
Interfacing used was: for the outside - Formfuse 1600 by Charles Parsons bought at Spotlight
for the inside - Birch non-woven heavy iron on interfacing, for the base - Heavy backing (craft tex would also work, or a thin plastic) bought from spotlight.
Vinyl is an upholstery weight vinyl ( i got mine from a closing down upholsterer) and fabric was from a small quilting store when I went on holiday to Perth.

Wonderful video! Just recently found you 🤗 so glad I did👌🏻 you are a very clever lady👍🏻🌺

[@ronaguidry259]

I always refer back to this video when I have to do a pocket. Thanks for simplifying

[@julesfullwood8696]

Finally made my new bonnie bag, all in vinyl. Thank you for your video, it really helped especially when I was sewing the base and the puckering!!!!

[@margaretmadden8428]

Loved your video and your style - straight to work, no talking for 15 minutes at the start, just brilliant. I’m buying this pattern tonight if I can find it 😁

[@catherinethompson8689]

I was so worried about the bubble but when clipping the base on, and now I feel much better, thanks Tori

[@InquisitiveWomenTV]

Thanks a million. I love your channel, you always take time to teach us how to make handbags. Also, you are not selfish with sharing the information. God bless and Happy New Year.

[@Craftbags33]

Thank you, your very quick and explain as you go , I’m a visual learner and this was very helpful

[@beckymoffitt7705]

I’ve made this with a crossbody strap and I love it! Made a matching NCW also.

[@laurilogsdon653]

Thank you for this video. It is very clear and concise. I am going to attempt my first Bonnie this week.

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

Great tutorial. Thank you

[@jacquelinewoodard4707]

Thank you so much ! You made it look so easy I am so glad I found your channel now I can’t wait to make this bag!

[@mirjamschouten4974]

Great video! I’m also making a bonnie, so it was nice to see you make one.

[@Olivers-G0mmer]

This is one of my favorite bags to make, but turning it is a pain with all cork exteriors, slip pockets and fleece interfacing. I've tried making extra wide zipper pockets, but that gets ridiculous. 😁 I'm going to use this method of leaving most of the lining open next time, because it looks like a dream! Thank you! ❤️

[@floralcollections6047]

Great to watch this and very helpfull for me I will try this

[@SuzyS1959]

wow I avoided this one aas i thought it maybe to difficult for me, thankyou for this I may give it a try now, love it !! Please get some sleep !! lol

[@robertawilkes6531]

Love this

[@annierodenberg2327]

Love this bag!!!

[@sylviabrown6127]

Real Cute

[@roxannericchio3556]

Thank you for your video! So helpful! Round or oval bottoms are so difficult for me. You given me courage to try again. May I ask what you used for the interfacing on the vinyl?

[@BrittaliciousD]

Great video! I’m trying to get the courage to make this tomorrow but am not wanting a zipper closure I want to do what you have done. But did you have to modify the pattern pieces? I’m worried lol

[@SeamsLegit]

No I haven't modified the sizes of the pieces

[@stagingmaster]

Lovely job! Do you ever use waterproof canvas for your lining? I ask because I don't know how challenging it would be to sew the round bottom with your technique of going through the inside pocket. I prefer how that looks, but I worry the canvas would be too stiff and bulky to work well.

[@SeamsLegit]

I do! I actually just found a supplier! I will male sure to do it in a video this week

[@margiecastonguay517]

Can you use foam for the interfacing on the material side

[@sheilastuart5]

Hi I enjoy your video. What interface did you use?

[@margiecastonguay517]

Is the formfuse 1600 med. Or heavy weight

[@julied571]

Hi Tori. Could you use the Formfuse 1600 in place of something like SF101? I'm in Aus and it's so hard to get hold of SF101

[@SeamsLegit]

Formfuse 1600 is my favourite! I just purchased a 50m roll online :D

[@Lisapittsburghnurse]

Would u consider doing the swoon stella weekender bag?

[@SeamsLegit]

I have done a video for that :)

[@margiecastonguay517]

What did you use for interfacing

[@SeamsLegit]

From memory foam fusible interfacing :)

[@bethtaylor4579]

How much is the bag like that ? very very nice . :D

[@SeamsLegit]

I sell my items through my website. www.seamslegit.com.au Different people price things differently.

[@bethtaylor4579]

@@SeamsLegit I have look at your website an not fining your bags that are for sale :(

[@SeamsLegit]

Here is a direct link to all the bags I have available. Many of them have sold already though seamslegit.com.au/collections/handbags-1

[@bethtaylor4579]

@@SeamsLegit Thank you

[@aliciap5241]

What interfacing did u use on bottom peice

[@SeamsLegit]

Iron on heavy backing from spotlight (or pelted from usa)

[@lynnkubic4959]

what thread are you using

[@SeamsLegit]

I use vardhman thread. there are links in my of my videos

[@sylviabrown6127]

How do you measure your bottom no one explains that

[@SeamsLegit]

what do you mean measure the bottom? Do you mean the bottom panel? the pattern comes with it. or do you mean the oval base? The seam allowance is the other side of the interfacing you put on the bottom.

[@tracytorchon7762]

is that a special foot you have on your machine?

[@SeamsLegit]

It is a teflon foot. It helps to glide over vinyl.

[@tracytorchon7762]

Seams Legit what model is your machine? I’m in the market for an industrial sewing machine.

[@SeamsLegit]

@@tracytorchon7762 it is a mitsubishi. I actually found mine second hand on buy swap sell. Of you are buying just for bags get a walking foot. I have mine because I also make a lot of clothes

[@tracytorchon7762]

Seams Legit Yes I am getting just for bags as I don’t know how to make clothes.

[@SeamsLegit]

@@tracytorchon7762 then i would get a machine with a compound foot (walking foot). It will get through bulk and vinyl much better!
