I used your bionic bag tutorials - absolutely great detail and many good tips. Especially the tute about cutting 1/4" off the interior lining to get the exterior and interior to lie flat when sewing. I will use this tutorial with my 4 granddaughters - who all sew - when they visit in a few weeks. I will precut the fabrics and I am sure they will enjoy watching this and sewing the bags. I am so glad I found out about you on KZbin.

Actually I do! Are you familiar with Swoon patterns? Betty Bowler bag? It's like a bowling bag style large purse or travel bag... Welllll I purchased the pattern... There are instructions that come with the pattern... pretty clear. This is the first pattern I've ever bought... I've made all of the patterns I have from tutorials I've watched... I'm more of a visual learner soooo I've been looking for a video tutorial and no such luck :( I found something similar but still would like to see a video tutorial before I start it. The Swoon sewing group will help, but again it would be nice to see someone make it. I've made many totes with and without zippers, make up bags, purses but still would like to see it... Please let me know if you're willing to try it...

The third one is the back lining and this is shown at the 24:13 minute mark. Let me know if you are still having issues.

dont understand how u figure zipper measurement; what is the 3/4 inch off each side. cant get that.
@BirdcageandThread7 жыл бұрын
The 3/4 inch tabs are measured so that the whole zipper piece (zipper and tabs) are the same width as the main and lining fabrics of the bag. You could, of course, leave them as is and center your zipper then trim off the excess tabs after sewing to the bag.
