The sewing world is SO lucky to have someone as patient and talented as you. I don’t think younger sewers realize what a valuable gift we have in these KZbin videos. I’ve become so skilled from watching these bag making tutorials. Absolutely invaluable tool!!! So grateful that I have these videos. 👍😀

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊

[@malley4747]

Thanks!

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you so much!!

[@alysonsneyd3401]

Thanks for the video. I really needed your help doing the top corners!👍😃

[@patriciakoester1298]

I so wish this had acrylic templates to make this. I love it so much. I'm just not that great at cutting the pieces so precisely. Great tutorial Kassiah.

[@MistysThread]

I finally built the courage to make this bag. An awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!

[@bagsandbling7564]

I just finished another one of this handbag (LOVE it!) and I also struggled with attaching the strap connectors. They are much easier to install if you only sew the top half of the side seams and not sew the bottom yet until you get the strap connectors sewn in. After you sew the connectors in, then you can sew the bottom half of the side seams and also the bottom. This eliminates wrestling with all the bulk! LOVE your videos!

[@LizMcDon]

I really like the way the zipper is designed. I’ve been looking for years to find this technique and had not found it. Thanks for another great tutorial video.

[@Kera.S.]

Your hoodies were Fabulous! I loved both of them! "Straight out of Scranton" and "Dwight"! I love Dunder Mifflin!

[@pascalemo263]

Love all your videos,... hello from France !

[@loismaddux4800]

So beautiful!! Wow! I love your fabric choices too! Excellent workmanship! ❤️

[@suzys4316]

love it, Love the shape the box corners give it on the top , great tutorial as always Kassiah,

[@liselabelle9204]

Hi! Thank You for your great detailed vidéo. May I suggest a little trick for your issue with pocket trim. What I do is simply cut the strip wider for example if they mention 1 inch I cut mine at 1inch and a half then you draw the line as you would from the top. When you fold the trim the back will be longer, you sew your strip then you trim the back of your strip near the stitching line. Doing it like this you will be sure that you didn't miss the back. It worth a try and see if you like it. Once again thank you for your great tutorials!

[@angelinastone8122]

I love this bag. It doesn't look terribly complicated but I can see the struggle. The details are amazing. I'm new to bag making but I would totally give this a try.

[@4golfing]

i admire you. I have done a lot of bags, but am taking a pass on this one. separating the zip is not on my list of things i like to do. It looks very difficult to manouver under the machine. Great video as always though

[@elainefagin513]

With the trim - I don't make a line at the halfway mark, rather I make one side slightly longer - maybe a 1/16". That goes in the back and the shorter side goes in the front. When you stitch on the front both sides are always caught - even when you edgestitch. Great tutorial! I had to buy this pattern. And you made seeing your stitching on the bottom a bad thing - your stitching is so impeccable you should show it off!

[@margarethemphill606]

Thank you for the video,good job on the bag it’s cute

[@diannlooney4216]

Lovely ! You make it look easy!

[@4golfing]

Thank you for another great tutorial. I watch all of your, but think I will pass on this bag. It looks like quite a struggle and I do these for the love of it, but do not think I will love doing this one.

[@pj89-96]

Mommy will love this IF I ever get better. Lol so nice

[@MaureenLPlein]

Siah, after watching your video, I purchased the pattern and yesterday I finished the bag and it took me four days. I struggled with the box corners at the zippers. Overall, I am pleased with the result.

[@evanolan1471]

I love that bag

[@0campy]

Kasiah, thanks for leaving in the trouble spots and errors, it is so helpful to see how you work through it. I learn more every time!

[@nancyorourke8044]

Another great tutorial. I especially liked how your camera angle was spot on when you were showing how to install the strap anchors and box the top of the bag. This definitely will be a bag I will add to my list of makes I want to do.

[@sensorymats8544]

? the camera angle was right off when she was boxing the top of the bag, could not see at all what she was doing ????

[@MsHighpeaks]

Lovely bag. Great tutorial

[@laurabrewer4962]

I loved this video! I"ve made a couple of bags and always struggled. This way I can read the pattern and watch what you do! Thanks a bunch.

[@teresadejong3011]

Great video! Love the bag. I wonder if adding the strap connectors would be easier if you only sew one side seam, add that connector, then sew the other and struggle with only one connector??

[@margieherold6895]

From sewing garments in my earlier days, I have learned that cutting the lining and exterior fabrics using small clips along the seam allowances will help to flatten the curve. I have been doing that in my bag-making and it really helps. Just don't clip the zipper tape.

[@pegasus8873]

Beautiful bag! Love it!!! You have some major sewing skills. 👍

[@jasminecustombags]

Another awesome tutorial. I know when I'm watching your tutorials that I will not be disappointed. I also have an industrial, an off-brand juki like you, and I am totally jealous of your metal plate with the seam allowances. I would love to have that! Much love -Gen

[@rosellahanson5760]

I have an off brand Juki 1181n as well. I found throat plates with the seam allowance markings on Juki Junkies.

[@gloriabonham5661]

Super nice I just bought this pattern .

[@kayapapayadesign261]

Great video as always! Your bag turned out beautiful. You're so brave to make a bag for the first time and film. Thank you for making this one :)

[@maureentreichler9256]

Love your sweatshirt 💕

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

I love this bag. Thank you. Oh, and BTW I’ve been using waterproof canvas. It’s great. And what a time saver not to have to add interfacing. Looks more professional too.

[@lizrr9292]

Thank you for doing the video ♡

[@karenjordan3226]

Love this! Great video again! Thank you ❤️

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Beautiful Siah! I totally adore your exterior fabric. Its very classy! It also gave you scope to choose silver.gold..or antique bronze hardware and would look so different with each...Lindy x

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

Well Kassiah, I am starting this bag today. My only worry right now is the main zipper. I’m just getting the hang of adding zipper pulls and I’m stressed about adding them after sewing zipper tape to the bag. Wish me luck...I’m holding my breath on that one. 😳

[@SiahSwag]

You can do it!!

[@lynnel363]

I'm finally getting around to sew up this bag! I really love it! I have 2 questions. First, you briefly mentioned the front pocket magnetic closure shouldnt be 3/4" down, but something else and I can't find that part in the video again! 🤦‍♀️ I think it had something to do with top stitching? Next, I'd like your opinion on the side strap anchors, like the fabric covered.... strengthwise to hold up yo those who load up a bag, would the weight rip those anchors out since they are only held in with prongs? I appreciate your response and help!

[@evanolan1471]

This is the bag I’m going to make

[@brittanyedwards9536]

First lol! Such a cute bag cant wait to watch you make it.

[@ilaallen190]

With the zipper, Is there a way use a "pre-made" zipper? Just get it long enough so there are no issues when installing? When putting those back together it seldom lines up but I guess I could try.

[@deborahjames7984]

Hi, I use the same tool to make the holes for my rivets. Just a thought, have you made sure all the bits of fabric have been removed? On the side, on mine, you can see where the material ends up. I had to clear that all out to make sure it would still work.

[@marthahumphrey3849]

I hope to make his purse. Thank you for the tutorial. One question where does one find the big rings for the straps? What size are they?

[@SiahSwag]

I sell them on my website:siahswagbags.com/collections/hardware-example/products/1-1-2-inch-o-rings

[@TaraLynn56]

Do I add the Decovil light first or the woven interfacing to the outside panels? Great video explained very well. Thank you!!

[@SiahSwag]

Always woven first, then decovil.

[@LAKatKreations]

You choose the most beautiful fabrics! Love this tutorial as always. Question: If my Decovil light pulled away from my fabric, could it be because I didn’t fuse it well enough to my fabric? I left it out of my seam allowances because of my domestic machine, but it came off when I was turning my bag. Thank you in advance for your response.

[@SiahSwag]

Yes that usually is what the problem is.

[@nazakitty28]

So her patterns come with templates?

[@karenmay2644]

I love the handbag you are making do you sale them how do I get one karen May

[@SiahSwag]

Hello! Thank you so much. Yes I sell them here SiahSwagBags.com

[@elainefagin513]

I really like this bag. I did buy the pattern but I am HORRIBLE at putting on the zipper pull. I use zipper tape all the time and struggle with this. The reason I haven't made this bag is having to remove the zipper pull. No kidding. Do you have any tricks on getting the zipper pull on? I usually end up losing a good inch when I put the pull on. I know the line helps to make sure things are where they should be but that is only if you can get the danged zipper pull on. Any ideas?

[@SiahSwag]

The line is seriously the best help for me....

[@ОльгаРодионова-ю6г]

Love your videos. What is the size of the rings you used for the handles?

They are 1.5 I believe

[@colleenmarsters548]

Love the look of this bag, could it made all in cork or vinyl ?

[@kayapapayadesign261]

Yes. I made one in all cork for one of the prototypes. You could omit the fleece from the exterior.

[@janiespencer6658]

What is the vinyl you used? Im in the UK and i don't seem to be able to find anything like that. Its lovely xx

[@evanolan1471]

Could you put a rivet to hold the strap connectors on

[@SiahSwag]

yes but it would have to be on each side of your seams, you don't every want to punch a hole through your side seam.

[@evanolan1471]

How about putting the strap connector inside the top box square

[@SiahSwag]

Yes if your machine can handle the layers that would totally work!

Did you edgecoat your vinyl/faux leather?

[@SiahSwag]

I have yes.

[@StacyElizabeth115]

Your double sided tape looks nice and strong. Which one do you buy?

[@SiahSwag]

It’s the leather DST from wawak.com

[@karenshaver7437]

When I’ve gone on fabric.com for the waterproof canvas there’s different weights listed. Which weight/denier do you use or recommend? (I have a domestic machine.). Also, what kind of tape are you using to cover the prongs of the snap? Thank you.

[@SiahSwag]

I get the 11 oz ottertex canvas. The tape is just a wider DST with only one side of the tape taken off.

[@kristinahawkins3555]

Where do you get your brand name plates?

[@SiahSwag]

I ordered them from Alibaba.com

[@ColleenBijl]

Has anyone made this bag out of vinyl, if so did you run into any problems?

[@SiahSwag]

I don’t know... I think it would work if you have a machine that could handle it.
