Any purse organizer tutorials?

[@maryannfaulkner7998]

This is so fantastic. Can’t wait to start mine. Thanks for this. You’re an excellent teacher.

[@trudihay630]

What is the Facebook page to get pattern please?

[@nmaclaird]

How much vinyl do you recommend, a sheet or roll of vinyl? Is there enough vinyl for 2 bags?

[@deborahstace1133]

I just put my current project in the naughty corner to think about what it's done, and am relaxing with a wine watching this tutorial. Soooooo relaxing!!! I have made one of these already and it was a hit, my MIL wants me to make her one so I'm getting inspired. Thank you Jess, I LOVE your tutorials.

[@sharonvonsee3164]

My third rendition of this bag is in the naughty corner now. Apparently I cut the zipper a quarter inch too long, and the tab along with the thickness of the interfacing won’t go through my domestic machine. I may have to pull out the seam ripper and go back a few steps.

[@smithquilter]

What is the purpose of bending the zipper ends at right angles?

[@crimsonscarlett4603]

You could also do a double sided strap (one side vinyl other side cotton) if you still want the vinyl look! Saves major on bulk and looks great!

[@ginnylee9928]

You can also switch out the cotton side to use grosgrain ribbon instead.

[@miiii50]

How exactly do you do that? Also I only have 1" D-rings can I use that and make the strap a 1/4' wider? Thank you.

[@boonedogglepip5463]

Another great tutorial! Thank you! I was almost shouting that you'd forgotten to open your interior pocket zip but in the end I'm glad you didn't hear me because you showed how to fix that should anyone else make the same mistake. It's not fatal. I just want to add that you and Sara Lawson of SewSweetness have my favorite tutorials. You have great camera angles and thoroughly explain everything in a way that I can completely understand. Although, you always make me laugh. Love that! Thank you for sharing your time and talent! It is much appreciated.

[@OklaRoots]

Hahaha I could feel you internally shouting at me Elle! I couldn't believe I did that. But I like that I can share that with you all! Thank you for such kind words, it means a lot to me! Sara is such a queen in my eyes, it means a lot to be in the same sentence as her!

[@maryhutson55]

If you zigzag around your foam first it makes a huge difference. Just something I learned from one of the pattern makers. Love your videos. Thank you

[@caroldufur4807]

You are so good to give all the links for materials used in tutorial. Your instructions for making the bag are wonderfully clear and easy to follow. I am so glad to have found your tutorial channel, will stay in touch for more. Thanks

i have watched several Sunshine Wristlet Crossbody videos, and this is the best. Thank you.

That's very kind of you Fede! Thank you!

Thank you, I've just finished my very first bag ever following your video. Thank you very much, it turned out really really well and I am so proud of myself.

[@jccbeach2605]

Thank you so much! I just finished this make. It's the first item I made with multiple pockets and zippers. Your tutorial was very helpful because you use good explanations. I don't think my bag would look as good without your help. I appreciate your willingness to share what you know.

[@susanhenry2131]

Just finished this gem. Couldn't have done it without you and this video. Many thanks.

[@liamcintosh945]

Love the bag and the tutorial. I have not used Decovil Light so that was very helpful for me. Also installing the top zip was a new technique and was very clear. The tip on opening the forgotten zip just magic as I know most bag makers have done this at least once. I have a tip that I learned from More Me Know that has worked really well for me especially for a bigger bag. For the final assembly. Leave the bottom lining open and the interior zip pocket bottom open. Birth the bag the through the bottom of the lining opening. Then pull the lining through the interior zip pocket bottom and stitch the bottom lining closed right sides together. Place your lining back through the zip pocket opening now pull the zip pocket bottom through and sew together as shown in your video. I found this method much easier because the bottom lining opening is so much bigger that the zip opening.

[@OklaRoots]

That's a fantastic tip Lia! Thank you for sharing!

[@carlottalane1541]

Thank you for sharing the bagmaking technics on You Tube. You do very well in explaining and teaching and it has helped me alot. I really appreciate that there is no music playing when you are talking. This is very distracting to people like me who may have trouble hearing with music playing louder than the speaker. Keep up your terrific instruction of making bags.

I made the purse in navy woven fabric with navy WPC as accent fabric. I made two straps. One is plain navy, the other is bright flowers to liven things up :)

[@jessicamarsh9779]

Update from my last comment- I TOTALLY made this bag! It’s SUUUUCH a nice bag!!!! I LOOOVE it! I did black faux leather panels and Black & White Jack from Night Mare Before Christmas and it’s STUNNING!!!! It’s really a NIIIICE bag!

Thank you Mary! I also adore Sara and Lauren!

[@ronagallup4037]

This bag is soooo cute! It's now on my list of things I just have make. You seriously cannot beat decovil light. Another great thing about decovil is when it sits for awhile the wrinkles all relax. Well worth the price because of the professional look it gives a bag. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@OklaRoots]

I totally agree Rona! Decovil light is just such a dream.

[@robingoldsmith2491]

Thanks again. Just finished this bag and it turned out great. Never done an inside zip was going to skip but once you showed it was necessary to birth bag, I did it and turned out great. Thanks so much!!

[@kriskiana9904]

I love your idea about adding an extra line of stitches to prevent the pressure I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of that I was just stitching over top of my original ones and that was just causing more stitches to be seen I can’t wait to try this new trick on my next bag. I am really enjoying working with different color and texture vinyls so always looking for fun new tutorials that incorporate vinyl.

[@rebeccagoetz3232]

Love, love, love this bag pattern! Thank you for your very understandable tutorial! Couldn’t do it without you.

Hi Jess, First off I love all your videos. I've been watching for about a month and finally decided to make my first bag. I used left over upholstery fabric I had and left over zippers just to make a sample bag to get all the oops out of the way before investing in nice fabric and zippers, etc. I loved the pattern. You maddest so easy to follow. Just when I thought I'd take a short cut, sure enough I had to rip it out and continue your instructions. I should have known! I love my new bag, old fabric and zippers and all. Can't wait to make another one.

I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to take a chance, challenge myself to try something new. I have made one for my daughter and she is going to love it so I'm saving it for Christmas. I think my future daughter in law will love it with the Tula Pink fabric that I have too. Thanks....

[@jenniferakes8224]

This is the perfect vacation bag, because you added the rings on the top you can run a small luggage lock through the D ring and the zipper pull to lock your bag to protect your items inside from being stolen by a pickpocket. I have been looking into a locking cross body bag for an upcoming trip and this is now the bag I will be carrying to hold my important documents and money while traveling abroad.

[@OklaRoots]

Oh my goodness Jennifer! That is such a brilliant idea! I wish I could have shared it in the video! Thank you so much for sharing it here!
