[@carmenbailey1560]

Fantastic Jean, thank you so much for sharing these patterns. 👍❤️😊

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thanks, Jean! I like these a lot! I think I have seen these tutorials, too! I don’t know how people come up with such great ideas!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm glad you like them! I’m always looking for new things to try. (and other people provide such great ideas!!)

[@wilmastewart6887]

Jean, I was just thinking wouldn't it be cute to make a little headband or scrunchie in the same fabric to go along with this .😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

YES!! Sweet idea:)

[@delwyngraham4033]

That’s awesome will try with a younger one to make the folded technique is so cool😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It’s definitely a fun and easy technique!

[@yvettemarie5236]

Jean thanks for sharing this. I better get busy sewing for my girls!!! 😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so glad you're going to make some for your girls! 😊

[@Mandela219]

Oh i love this! Thank you for sharing this is such a cute idea to sew up for my nieces this year!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so pleased!:)

[@grumpy_poo]

Gorgeous and finished so perfectly. You could also use velcro on the flap so it is adjustable. ideal for travel documents.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great idea!

[@GloriaHasberry]

Thanks, Jean! I am excited about this crossbody bag and wallet! Also, I hope the Trueloves are all doing well. We have our Assembly on the 22nd of this month.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Gloria:) We are on the mend, slowly but surely:) Happy Assembly Day:)

[@lindaeselunas1639]

Wow! You are so creative, the cross body bags look so professional, excellent job!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks so much:)

[@sondrabrown442]

This will be perfect for Ethan’s phone and ID card. He hates taking his phone places because of his germaphobe issues so he’s been asking for some kind of bag that he can put it in that is washable. We go to Costco together and lose each other and end up circling around, a bit frustrating 😅. Thanks so much Jean , you saved me having to figure this out 😂 ❤❤❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes! Great idea:) Dear Ethan ~ soon all our issues will be a thing of the past!! :) Hugs!

[@susanmei9980]

You did a great job with this video! Everything was clear and easy to see. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 These all turned out so pretty and after watching the video, it looks really simple to make. Thx for sharing. Appreciate your time. I let some commercials play just for you! 😂 🌷

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Susan:)

[@lynetterene]

I'm looking forward to watching this...... just got home from work....thanks for sharing 🙂

[@OrlaQuirk]

This is a really cute bag. I don't have any dog-leash type clasps, but I have O and D rings, and squares and rectangles. And a bunch of KAM snaps. Sewing a couple rings to the purse, I can attach each strap end with KAM snaps, and add a few snaps on the strap so the length can be adjusted. I live in a tiny town, so that's handier for me than going to the craft store in the next county, or ordering stuff from WAWAK. Especially in winter. Thanks for the tutorial , from a Michigan Troll.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great idea!! :) Use what you have. Thanks for watching me:)

[@susanmei9980]

[@virginiaturner7836]

Thank you for figuring all this out!!! Many blessings! I don't do centimeters either....

[@grumpy_poo]

well, fabric is sold by the yard.... centimetres confuse me too.🤔

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I’m with you on the centimeters!

[@SherieRodrigues]

hi Jean. I loved it enough to get up and make it. Thanks for sharing. I will let you know how it went.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@amymabbott8738]

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@penniestout8878]

Your so talented and a great artist ❤ your cross bags and wallets are amazing ❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Awww thanks so much! 😊

[@goldenfd475]

This is a great tutorial Jean and I am already mentally shopping my stash for fabric. I'm in my 70's and still like to walk but my husband and daughter worry that I don't have my phone with me in case of emergencies but it is too big to fit in my pocket. I shall make myself one of these which will be perfect. Hope Ian, Maxwell and all the family are fine; blessings from the Welsh valleys

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Sounds like a plan! Keep well:) Blessings to you:)

[@karenkay8928]

Thank you Jean. These are cute.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so glad you like them!

[@mimzyriepensell1423]

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad you liked it.

[@nbc911]

Wow this is lovely. I'm going to make one. Thank you. You make things look so manageable 😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you:) this one is Quite manageable!

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Jean! Those are just lovely 🥰🥰 Your phone backing matches the one so well!! Awhile back I was going to get Kam Snaps & the tool to attach them with & never did. Maybe now is the time to get them!! Folks probably need these for Christmas presents😊😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

They are so easy to use and so versatile! You could definitely make some great gifts with them! Thanks Marla:)

[@sullysmom5050]

Great project. Thanks Jean

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much:)

[@donhardman6919]

Dear Jean, what a wonderful tutorial you have shared! They look beautiful and I think I will make one for my granddaughter in Melbourne, Australia, I am sure she would love to have one for her phone. I might make the wallet for myself. Thank you for sharing it, Jean. I am behind watching your videos, catching up though. December is very busy time of the year. Hope you are all well, how is Maxwell? Please give my hugs to Maxwell. Blessings as always from NZ. Thelma ❤❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Thelma, I hope your granddaughter loves her new bag! 😊 Maxwell is taking one day at a time. To be honest, he HAS been better in the past, but one day at a time.....Hugs:)

[@CordulaPrice]

Thanks, great video.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Glad you liked it!

[@SchemberBrandsrud]

One of my rich neighbors collects kislux bags, but because she’s so well groomed from head-to-toe, no one would ever think her bags were fake!

[@ladyradiana]

Love the oiver the shoulder bag. I have been using shoulder bags because I use a walker and it's so convienent. Seeing this video reminds me of a project I want to undertake but wonder if you might show us how. In an effort to stay organized as frugally as I can I purchased inexpensive large dishpans from walmart which hold my papercrafting supplies among other itens. It seems like it would be simple to design and sew a cover for them but I don't trust myself, I would imagine it takes elastic along with fabric but I'm hoping you might think about this project. Thank you so much Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That’s a great idea. I’ll keep it in mind.

[@alexandriaspann8194]

if you dont mind me asking where did you get that black and white fabric its just so lovely I need some in my life lol.. Also I hope you and your lovely family had a wonderful Thanksgiving

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It was from a local fabric store, but i bought it AGES ago...but you can find similar fabric online probably. Thanks so much for watching me:)

[@conniefincher5488]

Wonderful video, well done!! I really like this project and am excited to see if I can make it. Thanks so much for sharing! I've watched your channel from time to time and have decided to subscribe today.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You are most welcome! I hope you enjoy making the bag Connie:) Thank you for taking time to watch me:)

[@sharonwilson8208]

Oh! I was almost getting lost with the pressing. I understood but confused why. Then, just like that, it all made sense. 😅 Geeze, nothing slow about me 😅. Just one of those days. I spent the last 2 days fixing my ex-husband's shirts, just buttons. Then onto a pile of work pants for my soon to be son-in-law. He used E-6000 glue to fix the crotch of 6 pair of pants! Can't fix that! But, reattached a collar to a t-shirt, and fixed a pair of underwear. Then my daughter's costumes. You know the "quilter's don't do...". Well, they know I sewed clothing for my girls. Yay! Your video came up on my tablet just as I finished. This looks so cute. You can dress it up or down, depending on the fabric. A lot of people my daughter's age wear lanyards to carry small wallets for debit cards, credit cards, ID, and electronic keys. Your bags are adorable and fairly easy. Thanks Jean 😊❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It sounds like you've been busy!

[@sandrakay1891]

Hi Ms. Jean: I love this idea and will make lovely gifts. What do you think about vinyl, denim or cork fabric?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great idea Sandra! However since there are places that SEVERAL seams need to be stitched together, you will need to use a heavier needle and be sure your machine can handle the thickness. I think the cork fabric would make up lovely:) Thanks for taking time to watch me:)

[@ce292]

Thank you for sharing this is awesome i love it ❤. What are the dimensions of the finished project? Ty in advance.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

7 1/2" tall with flap closed over and 4 1/2" wide. Thanks for taking time to watch me! :)

[@kateholligan3855]

Great tip on the snap placement! ???WOULD YOU CONSIDER A TUTORIAL FOR A BUSINESS CARD HOLDER???

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I'll put it on my list:)
