Live Sew! Experimenting with the Emily tote

[@dottiemathews6853]

ohmygawwd!! you hit it on the head with that statement, Lauren. SEWING IS THERAPUTIC! it has been my savior for 3 years now. getting into sewing was like visiting a long lost boyfriend you only delt with once but, wanted to get back with again. you always kept him in the back of your mind, and vowed one day you will meet again. that is how it was with me with this. AND I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!! And you gave me a wonderful gift: THE VICTORIA POUCH PATTERN! I LOVE THAT PATTERN!! i made so many pouches, wristlets, tote bags using that pattern! it's so freakin cute!

[@dottiemathews6853]

you just gave me an idea on what to do with the box scraps from my tote bags! thanks sweetie

[@annguglielmino8989]

I could watch you sew for days. Your organized work space speaks to me

[@teresagann6452]

Watched this again!! It is one of my all time favorites! 😍That bag is everything!

[@lisamates2996]

Gr8 video Lauren. Being a mum is a full time job (as you already know). So to run a business, purchasing a building for said business and be a KZbin inspirational sewer and artist to boot! You have many turning plates and your doing an amazing job at keeping them all going. Lisa from England. PS your videos are the best.

[@cheryllittmann1670]

So adorable! Rivets are a smart choice. The striped is great. Let’s face it the green is so awesome.

[@joana4771]

I always enjoy watching you live sews (usually after the fact). It is soothing.

[@annguglielmino8989]

Agreed! Lauren is very calm

[@teresagann6452]

Thank you for sharing your feelings that you’re feeling right now. Totally get it! I’m glad that you feel better making this gorgeous bag! It helped me and I’m sure others as well. Sooo excited for your upcoming endeavors and can’t wait to watch them all unfold! ❤️

[@catherineweaver3652]

My fav video of all … successful experiment and that key chain is genius! Thx, Lauren!

I've used the HD9 for over a year and am in love with it. The teflon foot will glide easily over vinyl and you can get a thin set of three on Amazon (not Janome) that give more room under the presser foot. Janome's teflon foot is thick and there have been many complaints about it. I use tex69 or 70 exclusive and like it for all my vinyl and canvas work. The machine has been trouble free. There is a learning curve and getting all the tensions correct may require some fiddling but worth the effort.

[@annguglielmino8989]

I use vintage Singers for making bags. They will sew through anything, but my 301 just does not have much foot clearance. I have been considering the HD9 and giving my 1980's Bernina to my granddaughter.

[@Noskipstitch]

@@annguglielmino8989Hi, If u want high clearance Do Not get the HD9 please...u will regret it. Unless u just do cotton & canvas, but if u work with faux/vinyl or real leather than u are better off with an industrial. Trust me, I learned lesson the hard way. The HD9 is a fantastic machine n the stitches are beautiful n it is a strong machine but the presser foot does Not go up high enough when doing the connectors on a bag. I had to buy the Juki 1541s bc it has a high clearance n I love it

[@lindahowe7658]

Incredibly awesome!!!!! Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.

[@dorothytackett9943]

Bag is awesome! Creating is so therapeutic.

[@cherylevans615]

Lauren. Love the sews, love your bags, love you. Girl, you're way to hard on yourself. All that #$%^ about "it probably won't turn out" and "I'd just mess it up anyway" are crap. You are amazing, we all know that or we wouldn't be here!

[@Madnessmakes]

Well said!

[@sandyoconnor9829]

I really really want to purchase a box from your new exciting building opening!! I just love what you offer!! Your so creative!

[@sewterie]

I love the contrast Lauren. Love it with the white.

[@LaurenMormino]

Thank you!

[@Noskipstitch]

You are fantastic! Soo creative 👌 Thank u for everything u teach 💓

[@nicolebayes7518]

sweet perfection!! Love that bag!!

[@jeanshep52]

You are very pretty on camera and your snarkiest cracks me up. I love watching your videos as you talk to your viewers. Best wishes with your new building. I have brought some of your merchandise and I am very happy with it.

[@helentrexler2570]

Best video ever!! Watching you create is beautiful

[@LaurenMormino]

Aw thank you!

[@deborahmann5184]

Amazingly talented, beautiful bag!!! 🤩❤️🎆👏

[@jenpatterson8309]

Love it! Definitely one of a kind I bet it sells quick!

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

And by the way, I love the bag and the colors are perfect.

[@kristinthomas9993]

Just ordered the templete for the peek a boo bag! can't wait til it gets here.

[@SewFelicia]

Just a thought about the heat press. Add a timer to the PowerPoint that turns off after a length of time you deem appropriate

[@lauratran7638]

Very nice bag.

[@nancyingram966]

If you were going to buy your first heat press, how would you go about it? What size is the pressing area on yours? I'm glad you decided to attach the straps this way, the first idea would have been too weak, especially since this bag will hold A LOT of stuff. Good job, Lauren!! I love the green and black. I wish I had been watching this LIVE. I was talking to you, but you couldn't hear me....LOL I had no idea where you were going when you began the keychain...it's cute! And for a "patch" for merch, how about your "Let's Just Sew Whatever"? I enjoy sewing patches on. I like the white also!! I was thinking it, just before you said it!! I needed to sleep too, but I couldn't go without watching you finish this Emily tote. :-)

[@kaylagrowell2896]

She has a video all about them

[@kaylagrowell2896]

If you make more machine magnets will you please make a magnet out of the sewing machine as the black cat? It’s honestly like my favorite piece of art!! I already have the pin and stickers and I need the print but I always end up buying other items and I don’t want it to get crinkled lol🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@dianne20010]

I want buy your bag pattern and try it myself I love sewing and I’m a fast learner to do new things right now I’m looking for a place right now

[@SewFelicia]

Maybe include one of those refillable silver ink marking pens?

[@etezesewvegan8517]

Lauren love, love, the bag🤗🤗, one request, when you go to thread your JUKI could you show a front view? You do it so fast i only get the top part🤪. Thank you so much for all your videos, I have them on 24/7 as my materials make it to my home but by bit😂😂😂. I am sure my husband is trying to figure out when the heck I intend to use this o so expensive sewing machine 😳

[@LaurenMormino]

I have a video all about the machine where I show how I thread it!

[@EmSewBag]

Lauren I have spent over a month watching all your tutorials over and over so that when I have all the stuff you recommended I can start making Christmas presents. However I have a question, I know you stated that your dad made you your cutting table with ikea drawers and a large piece of wood ,my question is where did you get the big measuring part that is on your table. I would really love to get one so my husband can put it together for me. If it’s not to much trouble. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@LaurenMormino]

Amazon!

[@dianne20010]

I don’t have one those machines you have there I want know can I use my singer heavy duty 6800c sewing machine to make those bags there

Hi Lauren, I live in the UK and there is a lovely girl called Jo who owns Country Cow Designs where she designs and makes beautiful bags. I have seen other people make her bags, maybe you'd like to check her out x

[@gypsyrobin]

Clare, if I recall, Lauren might have mentioned Country Cow Designs on one of Pattern Review Intro videos. If she didn't, well then your comment will give her a heads up. 😉
