[@sherryejohnson1860]

Great tutorial. I’ve also heard through the grapevine you joined the industrial revolution. Not to shabby. A 1541? Congrats and you will say OMG. Where has this been. It makes things easier. Hugs my friend. Keep up the good work.

[@nardiastewart5604]

Hi Jess just wondering if you could include managements in your tutorial please I can't get the printable because I don't have a credit card ☹🙁🇯🇲

[@bonniecraiger480]

You can buy a pretty paid card to use like a credit card I belive

[@bonniecraiger480]

That's pretty paid

[@TS-sh8xo]

There’s something about the clarity of your directions and your voice that I find my self playing your videos for “music” in my sewing room while I do my alterations for clients. So soothing to me😃 Sooo happy I found your channel! Love love love the snack bags and back packs!!💕

[@pennyheptonstall3770]

Very thorough, informative and extremely helpful. I feel I can confidently make one now. Thank you!

[@shannonknutson7539]

Wow you can see the difference in your camera. I feel like I could reach out and hug you LOL. Better than real life

[@janetbailey4282]

yes, that is my favorite turner as well.........I will give it as a gift to every friend that starts sewing, thats how much I love it....

[@davitaritchie7741]

This is such a well put together tutorial. Thank you for this supplement to this fabulous pattern!

[@jesssums]

Yaaasss! I love this bag. Can't wait to make it! I also am patiently waiting for the Sandhill Sling and the Range Backpack!! I like the idea of the grommet even if the bag isn't being used for "yarning" (that's what my husband calls it because he can't distinguish between knitting or crochet😂). You could easily put a hand sanitizer holder or clip your keys on there and then they are not at the bottom of the black hole!

[@regalstylesbymtg2317]

Love the dress u have on too Jess.

[@doloresgill5719]

Thanks I am now getting into bag making and I so love this one

[@paintedstars2]

I always love your Disney fabrics that you use. Obviously not "sophisticated ", but certainly not childish that I think most people would be more than pleased to wear it!

[@irmagonzalez4467]

Wow! You are an awesome, thorough instructor! Thank you for this video!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@OklaRoots]

Thanks Irma!

[@pattin5411]

You have amazing talent when picking out fabric that go so great together!!

[@jetjohnson1106]

Thanks a bunch for this video. This was my first legitimate project and it was so awesome to have this tutorial.

[@lorihanson622]

Jess, I love that you give little tips to make sewing easier and to make the bag look more professional. Love your videos!

[@ToriLynnH]

Your beginner encouragement is fabulous! Love your bag stuff!

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Love her style! Her book is amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us! Your style is awesome too!

[@StitchADeeDooDoll]

Jess, I have been a big fan of your channel for a long time and have been trying to learn bag making. You are such a GOLD MINE of information, especially for a beginner sewer/bag maker like myself. I'm not even a bag maker, I'm just a newbie sewer tryin' to learn. I don't know why, but I am determined to learn how to make bags. I have struggled through some projects here and there and I proceed with extreme caution. However, watching your tutorials and hearing you walk us through each step along with explanations, it just boosts my confidence like, "YEAH! I can do this thing!" Thank you so very much Jess for making these tutorials. I have learned so much just from watching this one tutorial and you have a plethora of them. So many tips, I'm ready to go. Let's sew!❤

[@lisasmith698]

Absolutely love this!!! I am a crocheter also, so this is a perfect combo for me. Love of sewing and crocheting.

[@donnawilliams2715]

Love your videos. Can you do a video on what supplies a beginner should have in there stash ? And Would love to see the Sandhill sling.

[@beckyezra1]

Thank you Jess!!! another great video. stay healthy!

[@tracyalbert6056]

Thanks Jess. I've made this bag twice now and both times used both the written pattern and your tutorial. Both times turned out great. Thank you so much for the clear instructions to follow along. 😍🤩👍👍👍👏👏

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Love the pink waxed canvas, you always have the cutest fabric xx

[@teresagutierrez6725]

I just made this tote to use for a conference I went to. I made it from waxed canvas and denim. I love it.

[@laurasandy4479]

I love the tote and pouch, and yours are so adorable!! I've made the pouch, and it was very easy with your tutorial. Thank you for your always-fantastic tutorial ❤

[@pjszewczyk3673]

Loved making this bag with you! You have great insider tips! Thank you so much.

[@CarolleVincent]

I just watched the whole video. I bought the pattern. Now I’m ready to make this bag! Your instructions are so clear! Thank you so much for what you do Jess! Absolutely love your videos! ❤️

[@PuffStitch]

I’d love to see you make a tote tutorial with your favorite customizations. This tutorial was fantastic. Thank you!

[@yeaz0317]

So cute, great tote. Really great ideas for fabric and changing the pockets around! I really love using water proof canvas on the bags I make, saves on stabilizer too! Another great place to buy the water proof canvas is Fabric wholesale direct ( there a little cheaper than other places online).

[@shana-gayehiggins713]

Thank you so much for all the details that you have given..you are thorough

[@cherylgorecki2064]

I have made this bag. Its amazing. One of my favorites.

[@regalstylesbymtg2317]

You reallly did that bag. It is colorfully and beautiful.

[@suzannemazzola9413]

Love this tote with all the pockets! Excellent teachers bag!

[@SheerStitchery]

Loving this tote, and I don't think it is too big (but I like to take all the stuff). Love the giant zip and pocket in a pocket idea! 😄 might need to add this to my 'to sew next'...

[@delorisbledsoe2959]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this bag. I have been watching you sewing several bags. I like how you explain in full detail what to do and how it can benefit the bag. TFS

[@Ana-ns8fs]

You are such a professional! Love it!!! I am going to make it! Thank you!

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

[@jennifersmith8900]

after the cookies i saw hubby go get yes jess it can be your snack bag hahaha. i would love to see the sand hill sling video! I've been eyeing that pattern for a while but i'm working on a mia wallet right now. i may grab the sand hill sling pattern tomorrow

[@SimplyDelilah]

you always choose the cutest fabrics!

[@brendabrown4356]

Thank you - I made my caravan tote today 💗

[@cherrywhite3759]

wow ! love it so great video👍

[@Kera.S.]

This would be great with card slots in the front zipper pocket as well!!

[@beverlyfischer2503]

This tote seems very doable. Very good visual instructions. Love your channel. Feel I could actually make this. Maybe try home-dec fabric for exterior.

[@nicolelorrain951]

Thanks

[@laurineideconceicao2581]

Eu amo suas bolsas

[@3larsons]

Great tutorial, as usual! Love the shirt 😍

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you!

[@sassywhite6198]

I notice you use alot of Backstitch Fabrics. I have gone there but have no idea how it works. Or really any of the facebook fabric sites. Could you do a video on how to use it? Also, thank you for your great videos. I am a total newbiw to sewing and bag making. Your videos are easy to understand and follow.

[@mojosews]

I really really love you top! you look so elegant! thank you for this tutorial!=)

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you so much!

[@marianelarivera]

So wanna make this..😍

[@mbrett3383]

I did it. Used cork on the bottom & cotton on top. I added a zippered top. Great tutorial, except for a few things that I was able to figure out on my own. I don't know how to add a pic.

[@susanoder1959]

Thank you for your great tutorial. I just finished the pouch. Love it. Just started working with water proof canvas. I cannot find any of the fun vinyls that you use in all your tutorials. I go to the website recommended, the cute fun vinyl is no there😩. Thanks again 😀

[@sylviabrown6617]

Cute

[@KelleAnnRN]

I love this pattern and just ordered! Question: Can you make your own waterproof canvas? I've seen products than can waterproof fabric, but wondering if the end-product is similar in weight. If so, this opens up a world of possibilities to the plain colored waterproof canvas yardage.

[@micheleshank6385]

Loved this tutorial- so helpful! Where did you get the magnetic snaps with Rivet backs?!!!!

[@AlaskanCookie]

I just purchased this pattern and a couple others. Could you do the Divided Basket Pattern too? It looks so versatile for kids organization, dog toy basket, kitchen, arts and crafts etc.

[@MsChikis08]

So cute! Can a Juki 2010q handle all these materials? I do have vinyl and waterproof canvas.

[@alliecreates6038]

Can you showcase a knitting bag with holes for yarn to run through for color work on the go? Preferably a XL bag 🤩

[@audreybates9914]

I have to tell you You are my husbands biggest nightmare !!! And My best 🤣 Every time he goes into EBay or Amazon he shakes his head and shouts you’ve been watching Jess video’s !!! Oops 🙊 But hey I don’t smoke 🚭 I hardly ever have a drink 🥃 So what the hell but more vinyl and more fabric What’s a girl got to do for some peace 🥰 Thank you Jess after a really bad couple of years losing my sister in 2019 and my daughter 2021 Watching your bag tutorials has given me inspiration we don’t really get lovely colourful vinyls like you do over here in the uk but I found some pretty holographic butterfly ones and some cute puppy fabric so I’m going to give a couple of your bags a go thank you for just being you xx

[@cynthiam9960]

Thank you for this wonderful video. Will there be Sandhill sling tutorial?

[@Kjaz727]

All the Noodlehead patterns are written for a 1” metal zipper. You did a #5 zipper tape. I was so hoping you’d explain how you measured that out because it deviates from the pattern. 🥺.

[@ShaynaKrause]

Hello Jess from OklaRoots.

[@tinagreyfox1625]

I adore the Figment fabric you used for the tote in the beginning. It's crazy cute. Where might one find that print?

[@peggy11000]

What kind of sewing machine do you have that you see with in the video and others?

[@jen-jenfritz2188]

Hi I really like the fabric you used on the front. Where can I find that fabric?

[@tamierenbarger4476]

Am not able to use the link for the vinyl you provided. Is there another company that sells nice vinyl?

[@lynetterene]

I need that fabric tho😍😍

[@cisimerino3416]

Beautiful! Where do you get your custom bag tags?

[@maryrichardson6692]

Another fabulous video!!!!! Where did you get the rainbow zipper tape that you used in the finished bag you show at the beginning? It's just beautiful and I want some!!!!! Thanks so much for your great and informative videos!!

[@JacquieMc1]

where do you get your metal logo tags from?

[@cindyking3304]

Where do you order your Metal Personalized Tags? Such a Cute Bag!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@fosta60]

Do you think you could do a recessed zipper in the top instead of a snap? How difficult would that be?

[@pettersenchristina6032]

I love that zipper pull. Where did you get it?

Where do you purchase the bag name tags?

[@soniaj5970]

I LOOOVE your videos!! And a massive thank you for taking the time to do all your links and time stamps :) You may have mentioned this so sorry if I missed it, but why do you use a different weight thread in the bobbin vs the needle?

[@makermusik]

she mentioned it in her snack bag video, but the heavier thread on the outside is to make the topstitching strong and a more substantial look. Usually, topstitching is more pronounced and also an aesthetic statement.

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

Where do you find all these fun fabrics ????

[@Jaded6911]

Wasn't paying attention to the intro. The outfit is stunning. Where did you get it?

[@dibbsboy]

Where did you get your bag tags?

[@kathleenoman726]

OMG! Where did you find the Grogu zipper pull? I immediately went to zippervalley.com, but didn't see it or anything close. The Grogu zipper pull is so absolutely adorable!!!!

[@denimbug6949]

Great video! Thank you for not using a industrial sewing machine.

[@Kjaz727]

It’s important to note that she is using her top of the line Bernina. It’s not an everyday domestic. A regular domestic machine could never get through all those layers of waxed canvas, waterproof canvas and vinyl.

[@denimbug6949]

@@Kjaz727 very true! I have the exact same one..

[@checkyouout8575]

My singer heavy duty can sew through cw and waterproof canvas. No problem

[@angelscott7409]

I would love a tutorial on the proper way to cut out a pattern from the paper then how to cut it from the material. Do you cut on the thick black line on the paper or to the right or left of it? Then if you trace it onto your fabric same question.

[@harriscolorado]

Please share what machine you are using 😊I checked the two in your description, but they don’t seem to be the same one in this video. The reverse and other bottoms are not there by the needle.

[@alexandriajgray]

Where did you get the Mickey themed vinyl?

[@barbarak413]

Hi can you do a tutorial on the file tote please.

[@ruthdrews496]

I have to agree with everyone’s comments. Since you have a bernina, what foot(s) do you use with sewing bags?

[@DforDela]

when sewing the mesh pockets with the elastic on top, why not stretch the elastic while you sew so that it pulls tight? is it just not necessary for your purposes or do you not do it for a specific reason like making construction more difficult?

[@suzannewilliams8509]

What are the dimensions for this bag.

[@kathyl6768]

Great video as always!! 😊 other, how's gus??

[@OklaRoots]

Gus is great! Adapting really well to the family

[@MegGoddard1]

I’m using quilt cotton for the bottom and waxed cotton for the top contrasting panel. I interfaced the quilt cotton with woven fuse 2, because I’ve heard Pelion 809 wrinkles badly. So do you think woven fuse 2 is enough? Or should I add a second layer of woven fuse 2 or add 809? Thank you!!

[@OklaRoots]

I think you should be good, wovenfuse 2 has a nice thickness. What are you using for lining? If quilt cotton, add some wovenfuse to that as well

[@MegGoddard1]

@@OklaRoots Thank you! Using waterproof canvas for the lining .
