[@basantmahmoudalmetwalliabd6463]

hi! just to clear things up at the end when u finished u showed two bags, a bigger bag and a smaller bag so what are the measurements of the bigger bag? x

[@juliaarriaza]

I can’t remember the exact measurements but I added an extra 2 inches so around 14x16

[@christineboland9741]

You’re a very inspirational seamstress! We’re going to make your bag and add a zipper! Way to go to keep the kids busy during COVID! Best of luck.

YAYAY OMG I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THIS VID OMG THANK U SO MUCH

[@sapphiredixon9707]

does anyone happen to know the measurements of the smaller bag? is it 12 x 14? does that include seam allowance or not and is the strap the same size?

[@juliaarriaza]

Yes the smaller bag is 12x14 and doesn’t include seam allowance and I make all my straps 39” long

[@sapphiredixon9707]

Thank you so much :))

[@anabelle1806]

hi!! this video is so helpful, thank you! where did you get this fabric from, i love it!

[@olivia-nk3yv]

she got it from michaels

[@juliaarriaza]

Yes Michaels!

[@addyyi2938]

aaa the bag is so cute. u explained it so well!!

[@juliaarriaza]

Haha thank you 😊

[@rileypappas6852]

thank you so much for using ur knowledge to make this video and not just selling a bunch of them on depop for 40 dollars 😭😭

[@juliaarriaza]

Of course ❤️❤️

[@victorianeu]

when you stitched the top edge of the bag when you folded it twice, did you change the sewing machine foot since it was so thick? or did your sewing machine handle it bc i feel like mine would bunch up the threads

[@juliaarriaza]

The material i used wasn’t really thick so it was fine and I didn’t have to change the sewing machine foot

[@sahara3728]

henllomkwuthi ok I had the same problem when i used thicker fabric but if you use thinner fabric it’s way easier but if you’re using thick and don’t want to spend money on thin then I convince you to change the foot.

[@ilovemybeautifulexistence]

so do you not have to stitch the bottom lining? just the top part where it’s flipped over? tysm for the tutorial btw :)

[@juliaarriaza]

No stitch the bottom lining but I didn’t stitch it together if that makes sense

[@catiaaraujo3983]

I make scrunchies e that kinda of stuff but i sew by hand

[@juliaarriaza]

That’s so cool it must take a really long time to do a few of them

[@dalmancharahmaeb.1407]

hi! i got lost. did you fold the satin when you cut it or did you cut two pieces?

[@juliaarriaza]

The fabric is already folded when I bought it so I only need to cut it out once and I have two pieces

[@callad9644]

i made it and it came out so well omg thank you so so much

Yay!!

where did you buy the print and inside of the bag?

[@nyanawilliams2252]

does the lining have to be satin? my mum bought the correct fabric for the outside but not the inside :/ does it matter? ty

No it doesn’t matter it’s your preference!

[@kaylarodriguez3343]

when you cut out the fabric, did you cut all 3 sides so you have two pieces?

[@juliaarriaza]

Yes

[@baylinpearl180]

wow this is perfect ty sm i love it and u

[@juliaarriaza]

❤️

[@sahara3728]

How long is other wider bag ?

[@juliaarriaza]

The wider bag is 15 1/2 inches in width and that’s not including the seam allowance

[@sahara3728]

Julia Sophia Whats the measurements of the wider bag with seam allowance if you know by any chance?

[@juliaarriaza]

srl sahara 14x15 the length is an extra 2 inches because of the seam allowance and folding it

[@sahara3728]

Julia Sophia oh okayyy!! Is the straps the same size ?

[@sylviabrown6617]

Nice

[@oliviareams2048]

do you have to fold it in if you are not using a liner ?

[@juliaarriaza]

I did it that way for the linear but also so it looks nicer

[@oliviareams2048]

also what is the trick with the safety pin when turning out the strap? it’s really hard just turning it inside o it

[@juliaarriaza]

If you pin one of the sides and pull the pin through! There’s also tutorials on KZbin if you get stuck

[@kaytaculog4431]

hi! can you link the fabric from michaels pls

[@juliaarriaza]

I don’t buy the material online and I think the cheetah one is a little different than the one online but I’m not 100% sure

[@lexykingsland288]

So what sizes did you cut the bag and straps?

[@juliaarriaza]

I cut 15x15 and when you fold in the top so the final product is 14x15

[@user-jm4yx1yz6m]

What stitch are u using?

[@juliaarriaza]

Straight but now I use zig zag for the inside so it’s so secure

[@kaylah6175]

do they sell this material in stores?

[@juliaarriaza]

It’s sold out everywhere where I live

[@kaylah6175]

Julia Sophia I just went now and I found some at my stores thanks!!

[@juliaarriaza]

That’s awesome I’m sure the bags will turn out really gokd!

[@mytahirih95]

Can I also use hot glue instead of sewing and get the same result ?

[@juliaarriaza]

Honestly not sure if it would stay I think sewing is the best option

[@sophi8247]

[@Aurora-fl1ny]

How much does 1 yard of fabric make? ( I commented on the shoulder bag and meant to ask for the tote bag my bad)

@@juliaarriaza Thank you ! :)

[@zaniebal2273]

I’m trying to sew one but the edges keeps curling in and I don’t know why! It’s fur not stretchy material.

[@juliaarriaza]

Yes that happens to me too but you just gotta pin it and hold it

[@zaniebal2273]

Julia Sophia I tried doing a straight stitch instead of the overedge and zigzag and it turned out correctly. But I’m scared it might not be as secure. Is it not smart to do this, and should I try again with the zigzag stitch? Sorry for all the questions!

[@juliaarriaza]

I’m not exactly sure I wish I could see what you meant but if it’s already sewed on maybe stitch over it so it’s secure

i don’t know where to get cheap fabric frommmm

[@imanigoodall5187]

My thread keeps breaking when I sew on the strap and when I fold down the top of the bag to make it neat. Any ideas how I can prevent this? X

[@juliaarriaza]

You can try lower the tension it might be to tight or it could be that the thread isn’t good for the material and needs to be stronger
