[@margaretcook935]

This bag is beautiful, you make it look so easy. I may try to make it one day.

[@MsMarlysRae]

Great tutorial and I like how thorough you are! Thank you! ❤

[@SandcastleDesigns]

I'm getting ready to make this! OMGosh! I loved your video!!! Thank you!

[@peggybray5450]

I got this pattern and I’m making it but I’m making the gusset wider I hope it works out thanks so much for the tutorial love it, I’m using all vinyl

[@susanoder1959]

Great video. Thank you 😊

[@donnacornell6340]

I sure do learn a lot with each and every video. AND, I do like the non-live best.

[@lisawarnke1641]

Agreed

[@kcastillo0319]

Another beautiful bag and excellent tutorial. I really like this bag. Trying to decide if I can downsize another inch or two. I'm tired of carrying something that is beginning to look like a duffel bag. 😁 Thanks for the thorough demonstration. Always helps me know if I want to sew the pattern. PS - Love love the piping. We tend to forget that piping doesn't have to be corded. With vinyl, it almost makes more sense not to add cording.

[@galejohnson8086]

I love your faux piping

[@patriciachochon8519]

Morning. Hope i didnt miss too much. Love you & your videos.

[@PrincessAndMonkey]

Yeah! This is my favorite intro!

[@WondergroundFab]

Such a super cute make ❤

[@catherinefreimann9474]

Great tutorial. Thanks

[@shariwatson9030]

Another fabulous job! I just love your fabric choices- I have envy as it is just so expensive t purchase as I liv in Canada

[@gloriapatton9111]

Awesome video and many thanks for sharing 👍

[@taskyodsasky555]

Oo, that so nice, I love that cat on the front 😍 I'm going to sew this bag this weekend, so big thank you for this tutorial 👍 I would like to appreciate you showing that sewing is not a race and when I want to have it nice, I need to go slowly and not rush anywhere 🙂.

[@murielhanson7985]

Yes a live. Good morning from Lehigh Acres Florida.

[@SewPerky]

Sooooo cute! I also like your new intro 😊

[@monicaokrayeneck8707]

Marvelous!!! As always, incredible good taste when creating... the excellent tutorial. thank you for such beautiful work.💝💖

[@SiahSwag]

Thanks so much 😊

[@NikMarRita]

Best looking bag I’ve seen all year! 😉

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

You are a genius when picking fabric combinations. Really elegant but cute bag.

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! 😊

[@rebeccabrantley3594]

This is the classiest, most beautiful bag and your fabric combo is gorgeous ❤

[@nicholelitton9142]

OMG! I love this bag!!! I need/want it in my life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LauraMenefeeLDM4HK]

That is so adorable!! 😍

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

Oh Kassiah…..this bag is gorgeous. Thank you for doing this tutorial. I love watching your videos.

[@terrilldickson2262]

Another stunning bag !

[@evatoth6284]

You sew beautifully! Congratulations!😍

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! 😊

[@loribernard5144]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@lisastreet8920]

Your fabric choices are great. This combination looks so good. I like your attention to detail and your careful construction. I do have a suggestion though. When you sew the final top stitch at the top of the bag, start in an area that matches your thread so you don’t have noticeable backstitching when you lift the flap to open the bag. For this bag, that would have been the card slot area on the front. Your back stitch would have been almost invisible.

[@iheworld134]

Love the intro🤣🤣

[@wendydugas2653]

This bag is so pretty. I love the color combo you used.

[@sandravalencia960]

Really beautiful ❤️

[@rosemarieburrell1799]

Came out absolutely gorgeous!!!! Love it!!!!

[@cindihager3409]

I absolutely love your choices in fabrics/vinyls , the prettiest I’ve seen! I did not know see pretty vinyl carried canvas

[@bearscritter]

She no longer carries canvas

[@lefty4180]

Hi Cindi..I asked Kassiah about the canvas and she hasn’t answered me so I emailed Sew pretty Vinyl and they no longer carry canvas, she said that was a long time ago.

[@cindihager3409]

@@lefty4180 I saw that, she also ended posting in FB

[@sharonkennedy8612]

I LOVE this pattern. You did an amazing job.

[@jacquelinejee5167]

I absolutely love this bag with the piping and the fabrics you chose I am so tempted to try this one 😊

[@sharon-z]

Love your fabric choices. Do u ever have issues with decovil/vinyl wrinkling /creasing with birthing? Thanks

[@phironcjones4057]

Wow, I love this pattern and your bag looks beautiful! ❤️

[@SiahSwag]

Thank you! 😊

[@Kmorgan8722]

Hi I have been enjoying your videos but I was wondering can you go over about how long your bags take to sew? And maybe how much you would/do sell them for?? New to bagmaking these would help thanks. This bag is sooooo amazing.

[@liz.mcdonough]

I love this pattern and your bag is beautiful. I would like to see this pattern made with a drop in lining. With the amount of material that has to be put into the lining, it seems like a drop-in would be better. Has anyone done it this way?

[@elizabethmastriani310]

I use the 1/8 inch double sided tape from Wawak for "basting" my zippers. Being that narrow the needle doesn't go through it when you sew the seam allowance.

[@SiahSwag]

That’s great!

[@lisawarnke1641]

Same here

[@DorothyKemp-pk3tf]

Your tutorials are the best, very easy to follow. Where can I get the zipper attachment to make the tassels.? I do not have information on where to get these extras. thank you.

[@SiahSwag]

I sell them on my website SiahSwagBags.com

[@teresamonday81]

There's absolutely nothing about this bag I don't love. Nice choice!

[@crysgreen24]

I’m never fully prepared for the intros 😂

[@jolynnbrummer5382]

Beautiful bag. When you fuse the Decovil light to the front and back, do you use your steam press and how?

[@SiahSwag]

Vinyl side down, decovil, then teflon sheet over that. Small amounts of pressing with heat, no steam.

[@joaneberhard8595]

Where can I buy the leopard print on this beautiful bag. I watch your videos all the time and I’ve done several of your bags. I really am interested in that material. If you could help me please I thank 🎉you.!😊

[@deborahreed4057]

Good morning, what thread and needle did you use? I have the tex70, gutterman etc. And stitch length. Thanks, this bag is beautiful.

[@annclancey3388]

So I watched the cutting video and don’t remember you fussy cutting the front panel with the cat face. Was that intentional or a happy accident? It’s just perfect and so beautiful!

[@joantessell9865]

I am trying to buy this pattern do I buy the gamma 2022? Will that have the Esmeralda pattern in it? Thank you

[@joantessell9865]

I got it !

[@louiserussell7479]

I love your tutorials and use them a lot, this bag is beautiful. Just wondering if there is a chance you may be doing the Raissa by Shamballa bags in the near future as I can't find a tutorial anywhere for this bag, Cheers, from Australia

[@SiahSwag]

I might but it’s not in my current video lineup

[@EitherOrr1]

I love this bag with the piping and the fabrics you chose, do you think I could do the faux piping with cork? Thank you for this tutorial! Love your videos!

[@SiahSwag]

Yes of course!

[@suzanneschannel4109]

Does cutting the nylon zipper coils with your Kai scissors dull the scissors? Thanks!

[@SiahSwag]

Yes probably!

[@Six-Stitches]

Beautiful! I love that color saffiano! Do you know if it was the blush color?

[@SiahSwag]

I think so!

[@auroraalecci2047]

Stupenda. Davvero brava, ma quanto può costare una così bella borsa?

[@barbarayannatta9558]

Hi Kassiah. This is my kind of bag! It turned out beautiful; color choices, fabrics, hardware. A+ I watched your video cutting it all out. Not bag related but have to mention your eyebrows. They really look nice. Did you have them done or did you do them youself

[@SiahSwag]

Awe thank you so much, I just had them done actually, they should fade just a little hopefully and be perfect!

[@barbarayannatta9558]

They look very nice

[@lefty4180]

Good morning…what is the name of the color of your vinyl please from Indo Love. Also I can’t locate the cotton canvas at Sew Pretty Vinyls.

[@lefty4180]

I really would like to make a purse identical to yours (fabric) If you used their saffiano the blush looks way to dark compared to what you used. Please tell how to order the cotton canvas, I’m not the only one interested. I have ordered from Sew Pretty a few times and have not come across the canvas. Thank you.

[@bearscritter]

@@lefty4180 Tanya no longer has the canvas.

[@lefty4180]

@@bearscritter Yeah I emailed Sew PrettyVinyl this morning and found out. Thank you !

[@peggybray5450]

How often do you change your needle in your machine

[@SiahSwag]

About every 8 hours of sewing

[@peggybray5450]

Thanks

[@leabelcher9792]

l love these bags l have two patterns by them this is so pretty but $24 for a pattern is pretty expensive

[@MelissaH05]

I believe that's for 3 patterns. I think it's only sold in the set, at least for now. Not sure if it'll be sold individually at some point or not

[@leabelcher9792]

@@MelissaH05 yeah l thought that l just want this one its so pretty my fav one is sarafina
