I’m a very experienced sewist and this is the BEST tutorial for this bag! Love her demo.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

Thank you so much.

[@mickifieldswitherspoon]

I am a very experienced seamstress as well, and I agree with Alexandra, your crystal clear video instructions took the fear away for beginners!!..Great Job!!

[@SewVeryCrafty]

Thank you. I am always hoping to help beginners learn to do the basics.

Thank you. This is the best (in my opinion) method so far. I have looked at many videos for this bag.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

You are so welcome! Thank you for trying the project.

[@Bonitaslifestyle]

I agree. I just tried making it pausing the video and following along and it came out perfectly! Thank you for your sewing tutorial

[@valcave5209]

Excellent tutorial! I completely hand stitched mine and your instructions were so clear, thank you.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

I am so glad it worked out for you. Thanks for trying the project.

[@judyvanportfliet5596]

This video is by far the best to learn how to make thus bag. I learn from watching...not by reading. I just made my 1st bag....😃 I’m now on a roll with lots of fabric.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

Thank you so much for the kind remarks. I am so glad the video was helpful for you. Good luck with the rest of your bags.

Awesome tutorial 👏🦊

[@SewVeryCrafty]

Thanks so much 😊

[@doreenjodhan8367]

Thank you so much. Great video with clear and comprehensive instruction. What type of fabric did you use? I am new to sewing and want something that is durable but not stiff.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

You're welcome. I used basic cotton fabric for my bag and it works great.

[@doreenjodhan8367]

@@SewVeryCrafty thank you. Eager to try

[@roseannbrandl2349]

Can you please post the link to your pattern? I can not find it on your website, thank you!

[@SewVeryCrafty]

The pattern is not mine. It was free when I did the video but you can buy it here now. shop.thechillydog.com/products/japanese-knot-bag-sewing-pattern-pdf?_pos=2&_sid=7b15323aa&_ss=r

[@suesummers8813]

Just started sewing agin after 30 years so a beginner just made my not quite perfect knot bag

[@SewVeryCrafty]

Wonderful! That is fantastic!!

[@heatherwitt978]

Love to make this but cannot down load the PDF pattern for some strange reason

[@SewVeryCrafty]

When first did this video the pattern was free but now the designer charges for the pattern. You can get it here shop.thechillydog.com/products/japanese-knot-bag-sewing-pattern-pdf?_pos=2&_sid=7b15323aa&_ss=r

[@k1533]

Help Please, everything was fine Up in till I got to pull through the small strap, my long strop is not lining up its twisted, what step would I have done that?

[@SewVeryCrafty]

I am not sure how you got it twisted. I have a blog post on the same project. Perhaps that will help. You can find it here. sewverycrafty.com/how-to-sew-a-japanese-knot-bag/

[@elizabethrose5203]

I cannot find the pattern on your website

[@SewVeryCrafty]

This pattern was not mine. It used to be free from the Chilly Dog but now she charges for it. shop.thechillydog.com/products/japanese-knot-bag-sewing-pattern-pdf?_pos=2&_sid=7b15323aa&_ss=r

[@cathywilliams6306]

I couldn’t find the free pattern download

[@SewVeryCrafty]

This pattern is not mine. It used to be free but now she charges for it.

[@YomeidaGarza-ku4dx]

WHAT SIZE OF FABRIC DO WE NEED

[@SewVeryCrafty]

I thin a yard outer and ling should do it.

[@biancavdzz]

Why not pull it through the short strap?

[@SewVeryCrafty]

I know there wa a reason but I do not remember why to be honest.

[@biancavdzz]

@@SewVeryCraftywell…its been 3 years ago, so I can imagine😂😂😂😂

[@sitawall243]

How much material do I need

[@SewVeryCrafty]

2/3 - 1 yd outer and lining fabric for this bag. Good luck with it.

[@sitawall243]

@@SewVeryCrafty one of each,? Thank you

[@SewVeryCrafty]

Yes

[@brittanymarie9044]

The video states that the pattern is free but it wants to charge me $7, any idea?

[@SewVeryCrafty]

This pattern is not mine. It used to be free. I am sorry that she is charging for it now. You can find any free knot bag pattern and use this technique. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

[@naziarana2865]

The pattern shapes look crooked

[@SewVeryCrafty]

It is just the video I think.

[@k1533]

Sorry, I am a beginner and I panicked. It is at the short strap part I missed up. I think, I will know soon.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

No problem.

[@dianekocsis2578]

this pattern is not free as stated, it costs $7. I cannot get it for free as you claim.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

It was free when i did the video. I sppologize.

[@myworldautistic670]

Are you chewing gum? Whatever that sound is it's overtaking the video making it intolerable to watch.

[@SewVeryCrafty]

No, I am not. I am not sure what you are hearing but I apologize that it is difficult to listen too. It must be poor audio quality. I think it has gotten better in later videos. This was one of my first. Thanks for the comment.

[@myworldautistic670]

Oh goodness. I really like your teaching style. And I would love to make this bag. Have you made another more recent video of this bag? It's a shame I am not able to watch this one. I am severely Autistic and I am very sensitive to certain kinds of sounds. One sound which is particularly medically dangerous for me is bass beat which makes it really impossible for me to watch most people's videos. But I love that yours have no music. I will look for more recent videos from you. Thank you for posting them.

[@naziarana2865]

Really bad, there are many better ways to see this bag

[@SewVeryCrafty]

I am sorry you feel that way. but this is the way that I know.
