Awesome video. This is my first time seeing you. I am definitely subscribing to your channel. I purchased the pattern, as well. Have a blessed day full of happiness and joy.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That's awesome! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@dianepirone7810]

I have made 60 of these bags. I love them especially as gifts for friends and family. It’s a fun pattern. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You are so welcome!

[@maryannnewsham7714]

I love your idea of that rope braided rope from a hardware store. It could be attached through grommets

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@annebettencourt9587]

I’ve made several tote/market bags .. but I’m going to send for the Tourist Tote Bag pattern because I like the way the straps are made and attached. Thanks, Capi and Peter! 🧵

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You're welcome!

[@debbieflaugh4332]

Thanks for the inspiration. I really like the extra features you added. Maybe you and Peter could do a video sharing how you did the extras.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Great idea!

[@virginiagreen2516]

Capi’s the best bag lady. She and Peter can show you how to make anything.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Oh Virginia!

[@melissiadjohnson8399]

I love this pattern, I have made over 20 of these for family and friends, I add rivets just below the stitch line on the handles, just to make them more sturdy.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That's a great idea!

[@kimodonoghue6262]

Just found your channel, watching from Ireland 🇮🇪 and I am about to bag out! Thanks for the video!!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Have fun! So nice to have you watching from Ireland!

[@theresaritschel6530]

Just starting!

[@maggiekeller1812]

I’m on a bag break, but I need this bag and that cross body!!!😍😍😍

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I bet after making that everything 2.0 bag you will be on a hiatus!

[@wilmaferrell7868]

Fantastic Demonstration!!! Thank you so much!!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KJSew]

Love you based the lining bottom. Gives you a chance to iron it open, remove basting, turn and sew up seam.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@elainevenier1624]

Oh, so sad, much as I wanted to watch all of your video, the filming is SO jumpy and wobbly, I got very seasick and had to give up. Pleeeease buy Peter a Tripod!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great tutorial, thank you.

[@dianajohnson5933]

I have made two of the first draw string bags and I have all the supplies for making the next three.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Those drawstring bags are fun to make!

[@charliepinto9657]

Need to get started

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

I have to admit, I have yet to start... But, I really do want to learn. I just feel like I need to be able to have time to really focus & right now I'm working on about 10 quilts (literally!)!!!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Wow, those quilts will keep you busy!

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

@@alwaysinstitches5388 They definitely do!

[@amlaboy]

I bought the pattern this morning. In looking at the sizes, it appears we can use fat quarters or am I mistaken? I don't want to give sizes out. I like the bag with the pockets too. Great idea.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Yes!

[@amlaboy]

@@alwaysinstitches5388 If I use faux leather or vinyl, do they still need to be interfaced. I'm using Decovil light.

First time for me.

[@shannonmuzinich7389]

Hi Capi, what would be my approach to place a zippered pocket on front vs the slip open pocket you have made?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Check out the earlier videos in the series. They may give you several zipper ideas! Also there are several really good tutorials on KZbin on zipper pockets.

[@shannonmuzinich7389]

Thank you so much I will check all of those out

[@maryharriman1365]

Haven't ever made a bag

[@elainehubbard2875]

Too difficult to watch with camera so unsteady.....causing headache

[@donnaboysen1867]

I went to buy this pattern but it's sold out. Do they not do digital patterns?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

We have more on order. Please check back in a week!

[@annebettencourt9587]

Copy, do you miss not having a free arm on your Janome?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Capi loves her machine. I also have a machine with out a free arm and it wasn't a problem to sew cuffs and a collar as well as flat felled seams on the sleeve without a free arm.

[@annebettencourt9587]

@@alwaysinstitches5388 .. thank you! This is a fantastic machine .. maybe too much machine for me … I’ll be thinking about it if/when I decide to replace my current machine. I’m 80 so it’s time to think about downsizing … 🧵

[@annebettencourt9587]

Duh! I just spotted that I misspelled Capi’s name … I know better… thanks, auto correct!

[@gwendolynbeatty2058]

This is the first time it popped on my phone.😅

[@sharonelliott3901]

Where is the pattern to buy

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

It's up on our website or you can call our orders department here at the store!

[@janiceelin4082]

Just found you will look for the others

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Welcome!

[@m0ther0ne]

Please put that camera on a stand.

[@peppersmith6955]

I need close captions!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

KZbin will have those available later! Sometimes they don't provide them when the video loads.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I have not started any.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I want to start one but haven't either!

[@sherylwright9584]

No sound???

I haven't received any other comments about the sound.
