Colette Bowler Bag By Kaya Papaya Designs

[@suzys4316]

Kassiah I would buy a bag from you any day , rather than from Lauren, you take your time, your stitching is beautiful, there is no rush your so precise , and your bags are alway so beautiful , thank you Siah, that tip on matching up the zipper is a great tip

[@sherrychapman9330]

I'm with you

[@SiahSwag]

Oh thank you!

[@shirleykahn5254]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos. Thank you so much. I've sewing for over 50 years and have learn so much from you. The old saying, "you are never too old to learn something new"

[@patsygorveatte3914]

I enjoy watching your videos because you do not recklessly speed stitch. I enjoy your careful style. One of these days I will get brave enough to try one.

[@mariondunlop651]

Oh my . I cant sew the lining for the life of me. I tried 2x and it was wrong. I had no problem with the exterior,but the bulky foam just made me crazy trying to sew the lining. I got one side done hand sewing it first- but the other side will get glued!! I made the Tribbiani bag and didnt have any issues and that had a gusset also. Maybe my day was just off. 😪. Good thing this is for me. I love your videos -you make everything look so easy.

[@kayapapayadesign261]

I'm so excited to have this video available for the release! Thank you so much for making this!!

[@SiahSwag]

You're so welcome!

[@SassyBully]

Love your construction, 🤩 the care you take shows in your end product.

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you so much!

[@auntienike7355]

That was a great job you did there Kassiah!👍. And the bag is so beautiful!😍 . I neither knew I could staple bags nor mark zipper for easier and neater sewing until I watched that tutorial! Thanks😊

[@mamabear7243]

Your top stitching with contrasting thread...😮...PERFECTION.

[@annetterice4103]

I wish there was a love button because I more than liked that tutorial.

[@SiahSwag]

Oh wow thank you so much!!

[@susiepaquette7024]

You had me until the gusset. I was holding my breath until you finished with them, but I’m going to be brave, I’m going to make this bag. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@SiahSwag]

You can totally do it! Just take your time and staple!

[@lisastewart2861]

Thank you so much for doing this with the launch! Well-detailed for us "eager beginners" for sure!

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Eager beginner here too lol

[@SiahSwag]

Any time! So happy to help people with visuals, I know it always helps me!

[@silliebillies]

I’m just about to attempt this bag, thank you for the super helpful video

[@maggiemay961]

Another bag for my list. Thank you Siah for your very detailed video!! 👍🏻

[@pollynelson3246]

I love your video's so much, you are so helpful, please do not ever stop.....

[@sandrabrown7466]

What a gorgeous Bag. Love the style, the fabrics, and the meticulous care you put into all the sewing of it. It looks a bit challenging for me as a beginner, but it’s definitely one I would like to successfully achieve in the future. Love your videos, so easy to follow xx

[@lynwright1223]

Thank you for another great video Kassiah. You always make it look so easy and your fabric choices are super gorgeous.

[@judyhejza1890]

Kassiah, these videos are absolutely incredible. You are a wonderful teacher/instructor! keep it up. I also LOVE your new studio!!

[@madcrafts]

So new never made a bag at all but this makes me want to start. Thank you for inspiration.

[@alicesewnsew2413]

I’m here I’m here!!!! I’m so excited. Like a kid 🤣

[@SiahSwag]

lol I hope you enjoy!

[@nancyorourke8044]

The bag turned out awesome! Love your fabric choices.

[@jasminecustombags]

I always love to see a new video of you. You are extremely talented and your tutorials are on point. And that bag, I need to try it. Much love -Gen

[@ritajanemiller]

And it's Beautiful!!!

[@gloriabonham5661]

Great video I'll be making this one too!

[@bearscritter]

OMG SO BEAUTIFUL!! BOTH OF THEM!!! anxious to start mine as soon as I finish my 3rd Nathalie!! THANK YOU SIAH!!!

[@SiahSwag]

You are so welcome!

[@ronagallup4037]

What a beautiful bag and pattern! But I have to say my budget is not a fan😉 Every bag you make I have to get. My daughters seriously have more bags than they will ever use. Thank you ma'am for another amazing tutorial, they are greatly appreciated!!

[@Olivers-G0mmer]

😄 I know what you mean - between two KZbin channels, I am fixed for life for bag patterns, but I keep buying more!

[@lisahurst8565]

Another beautiful bag I need to add to my to make list! That zipper installation is genius! Great job and your fabrics are beautiful as usual. I like to staple my bags too. I did get a cool long stick-like staple remover on Amazon like Lauren Mormino has that just pops those staples right out.

[@jeanninej224]

I’ll be making this one Kasiah!

[@jo14ju7]

Nice bag, remember me of the bag i sew about 6 years ago... , called schnabbelina.

[@lindajohnsen6235]

The very best at helping to understand, and her work is impeccable

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you so much!

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Yay! Excited to get this tutorial of yours. I’ve bought the pattern and just finished a Brooklyn bag tonight so I’m probably going to makeCollette next now that you have this for us! Lindy xo. Ps love your ones!

[@SiahSwag]

I’m so glad, excited to see what you make!

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

@@SiahSwag gotta admit the gussets are scaring this eager beginner a bit! I did manage to do the bottom of my Brooklyn tonight though with a zillion clips and staples sooo... ..

[@SiahSwag]

ParchCraftAustralia if you can do the Brooklyn you can do this for sure!!

[@marquitaphillips677]

Those are super cute!!

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! 😊

[@Olivers-G0mmer]

Very pretty! 👍

[@janetcombs3830]

Love the bag

[@carlakowtun3169]

Thank you so much for this video and congrats on finally finding a ruler plate for your machine! Do you find it more helpful?

[@deb2423]

Love this!

[@alexismarquez3674]

BOWLING-STYLE BAG IS PART OF THE VINTAGE-STYLE STUFF.

[@ritajanemiller]

wow....that was the most difficult bag I've seen done so far.

[@lindahackney665]

Siah, please tell me where you get your purses logo metal labels from? I have been searching all over for my custom logo labels. Thanks Linda of Owlbaggit4u

[@julielamm4131]

This is the first of your videos I have watched. Your approach is so refreshing. Do you think this bag would be ok to make with leather?

[@SiahSwag]

Oh thank you so much! Yes a couple people have done leather and vinyl for all. Just make sure you have a machine that can handle the layers.

[@mjdevorick8404]

Enjoying the video, thanks for the tutorial. I would like to encourage yo get a microphone or add some soft surfaces (like fabric! 😁) to your new studio. It’s a little bit echo-y. But I love your videos!

[@SiahSwag]

Yes I am working on getting some rugs down and putting things on my walls to help with the echo

[@daisyjayathilaka690]

Nice bag , thanks

[@SiahSwag]

Thanks for watching!

[@nataliemacdonald7695]

Thank you for explaining why you don't sew the zipper in the gusset. It makes sense now. I have a question: When sewing the lining, and you increase the seam from 3/8" to 1/2", why do you go back at the base to a 3/8"?

[@kayapapayadesign261]

Because the side pieces are the same size as the exterior pieces. So if you don't move back out to 3/8" the side pieces won't fit right later. You will be stitching the sides of the lining part at 1/2" later so it will make the lining less baggy :)

[@SiahSwag]

What she said...😂

[@KLeonardM]

great work...subscribed

[@SiahSwag]

Thanks for the sub!

[@kjerstibakke2326]

I want to make this bag. Both of them are beautiful. I love the way you combine colors and materials. I would like to make this with a pocket divider for my pc. Do you think it will work? And do I need to extend the pattern or does it have room for a 15” MacBook Pro? 😊🙏🏻

[@SiahSwag]

I am not sure it would quite fit, you may have to enlarge just a little.

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

Another great video. I like that this bag may be more domestic machine-friendly. I'm still contemplating whether I should get an industrial. I do have 2 questions for you, which you may have answered in other videos so please forgive me for making you repeat yourself. Question 1: what kind of double-sided tape do you use? Question 2: Love that chalk marker you have. Where could I order one? Thank you.

[@SiahSwag]

I use the double sided tape from Wawak.com, and I think my chalk pen came from amazon, but can’t find the link for the life of me!

[@ali2371021]

Can I ask what double sided tape do you recommend thanks

[@SiahSwag]

I get mine from wawak.com, double sided leather tape and it comes in multiple sizes.

[@aneliseschwartz5714]

Obrigada, por ensinar. Linda! Deus abençoe.

[@brittanyc2904]

You think I could use this same construction for the Tribianni Travler? I offered my client this bag but she likes the Tribianni better, I don’t care for doing the pleats on it.

[@SiahSwag]

Yes this is the same idea as the Tribianni for sure.

[@christinamoore9857]

HI Siah....did you make your rolled handles or purchase pre-made?

[@SiahSwag]

I make them

[@sonucraft72]

Nice

[@melissiadjohnson8399]

What kind of thread do you use? I really like this bag, and the fabric you picked is very pretty.

[@SiahSwag]

This thread was a 70 weight nylon

[@shawuanamay3913]

Awesome tutorial.

[@rmartin8887]

Love your videos. What type of foam do you use?

[@SiahSwag]

It is Bosal in R Form fusible

[@KatiFalk1]

I thought this was great until you got to the gusset then I thought heck no I'm not doing that! You did a nice job but I will never make that one.

[@sarahlawlor9920]

I have cotton fabric id love to use for this but its not water proof is there a way to make it waterproof

[@SiahSwag]

You could always put odi coat on it…

[@MelissaH05]

So quick question.... I apologize if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it... What thread are you using? It looks nice and thick??

[@SiahSwag]

It is a 70 weight nylon

[@MelissaH05]

@@SiahSwag Ahhhh Thank you!!! I have a semi industrial and have been using 40 and 50 weight cotton or polyester thread and it honestly isn't working when I get to thicker seems and I need something a little sturdier. I ordered some 69 Nylon tonight so I can't wait for it to come in ... I've never used nylon thread before so fingers crossed......

[@pattyclayton6114]

your vinyl looks nice and soft, where do you purchase?

[@SiahSwag]

I got this marine vinyl from fabric.com

[@denisemuth8015]

Do you have a Cylinder Arm Machine to do your top stitching on bags. I was looking into one and was wondering if it is worth it

[@SiahSwag]

No mine is just a flat bed. But I think if I would have done more research and have the knowledge I do now, I would get one that could be both.

[@sewTeri]

What is the name of the black vinyl you used on this bag? I went to Fabric .com and there are so many vinyls. I would like to use the same one you did.

[@SiahSwag]

It is Marine Black Vinyl

[@sewTeri]

Thanks Kassiah

[@betsymegna6263]

Could you use Decovil light in place of the foam?

[@SiahSwag]

Yes I think you could, just not sure it would give the same soft shape but it would work

[@mamabear7243]

Where did you get the tape for the handles?

[@SiahSwag]

I order it from Wawak.com

[@patsycobb5864]

Really want to make this bag. I have no confidence that I can add zipper pulls after I sew panels together. For every 10 zipper pulls I add to zipper tape, 9 out of 10 will be at least one zipper tooth off. Not confident at all that I could match the zipper.

[@SiahSwag]

I really like the method in this pattern from matching your zipper tape up, I think you can totally do it!

[@josetteskilling1576]

Is the vinyl the marine vinyl or the faux leather at Fabric.com?

[@SiahSwag]

It is marine vinyl

[@josetteskilling1576]

@@SiahSwag Thanks! I have been a bit afraid of that weigh on a domestic although my Janome is pretty hardy. Contrary to what I thought the lighter weigh vinyl has been a lot harder to control.

[@gloriahart821]

What size/weight thread do you use?

[@SiahSwag]

I usually use bonded poly Tex 70 thread. I sell it on my website, SiahSwagBags.com

[@shirleyrichard1284]

What kind of machine do you have

[@SiahSwag]

A Kingmax GC 0302

[@shannona6533]

Please share your source for purse feet. The feet in this video look a bit different than I’ve seen before.

[@SiahSwag]

I got these one from pursesupplydepot.com
