The Dresden Purse - Make a Gorgeous Purse Using Layer Cakes! (10" Squares)

[@gailself8619]

I love the BLOOPER at the end! Priceless!

[@RAE5558]

Because of the order of construction for all that you present in all of your videos, after 50 years as a sewist, sometimes yours is the only right way. You and staff have made me better in quilting, especially with the superior commmunication as you teach.✿♥♡✿

[@rmartin8887]

Your handsome guest is just too cute and what a great handbag. His wife must have loads of beautiful bags. I am so jealous. Does he have an equally talented handbag making brother? LOL

[@corinacoley458]

I want to take him home! A man who knows what to do with an iron! Way cool.

[@Lickyknee]

My five year old son loves to watch Jenny's tutorials when he comes home from school on Friday afternoon. I don't think he could adore Jenny any more than he does. We talk about colors, shapes, math, etc. It's a great lesson for us both AND enjoyable. A special thanks for today's tutorial because I want Nate to know that men DO sew too!!

[@romantrenton3644]

A trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@jesuslewis7861]

@Roman Trenton definitely, I've been using flixzone for years myself :)

[@arthurjamal4948]

@Roman Trenton definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself =)

[@debbiewood7718]

This is the first tutorial I have watched with Steven. What a fun dynamic I hope he is still with the company and making tutorials. That is a super cute bag. I will be making one for sure.

[@loralyewinkes2049]

It's refreshing to see a man creating a woman's bag. My husband thought it was great to see that he is not the only one out there that knows his way around fabric. Steven did a terrific job. Jenny you are just as wonderful as always. Can't get enough of your tutorials!

[@mimmy53055]

I am an avid Missouri Quilt Co follower. I totally enjoyed this tutorial. I love a guy that can sew and Iron and to top it off design a beautiful purse! Some smart girl scooped him up! I hope to see more of Steven.

[@jehnamartinez906]

i love stephen, he is so adorable for some reason. such good manners.

[@aleneknox7369]

I too agree that this is one of the MOST fun tutorials that has been done. Stephen is such a 'guy' with his words (Mohawk bag!) and Jenny's giggles simply MAKE the entire video a JOY to watch. One question: Can one add an outside cell-phone pocket to the purse's side, & if so how big? IF you want only ONE handle, can that be set into the side seam? Way COOL & it 'shines my beads~!!' I WILL be sewing two of these today, thanks to both of you!!

[@helengilkison2034]

This is the third time I have watched this tutorial, and I absolutely love the bag -and the people! Thank you!

[@danacrocco3592]

Great tutorial! I love the bag and Steven is a cutie! I wonder if his wife knows hundreds of ladies just fell in love! Thank you Steven and Jenny. These bags would make cute gifts, too!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much Dana Crocco! They would be adorable gifts! And yeah, she knows. We're all trying to keep his ego in check!

[@pjturner57]

It is so good to see another guy who is into sewing and quilting.

[@Taiga9191]

Love this Dresden bag! Thank you Stephen and Jenny. Jenny you are awesome at keeping the demos moving right along and explaining the process so clearly. I love them all and have learned so much from you. So nice to see a guy sewing quilts too. Bravo Stephen!!

[@breakingthread]

OH MY GOODNESS. I LOVE THIS BAG!! ♥️ AWESOME JOB! Lucky wife, she has a legitimate reason to have a million purses. Now I have to order the Dresden ruler. 🤣

[@maryanndunham4457]

I agree with Quilty Girl. This is a darling tutorial. It makes my heart happy to see Steven and Jenny doing a project together. Jenny you are so amazing to include your employees in all aspects of Missouri Star. How fun it must be to work with everyone. I'm lovin' all these scrap extra tutorials and ideals you're sharing with everyone. Thank you so much! Huggers!!!

[@susanteets1264]

I enjoyed this dresdan purse tutorial so much and it was so fun watching Stephen and Jenny interacting together. I liked the flub at the end. Jenny you or so down to earth and such a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@cqangie29]

Love Steven!!! I'm a beginner sewer. Just got a sewing machine and all the fixins for Christmas! I am doing this bag very soon! Thank you! Come back Steven!

[@GongIndonesia]

Awesome quote of the day by Stephen Nixdorf: "Sometimes we gotta go by feel, when you can't go by sight..." :-)

[@barbluhrsen8536]

I have made 2 of these bags for my granddaughters in their favorite colors for Christmas last year. They turned out Beautiful! I put a snap on the opening so it was more secure. Thanks for a great tutorial! Love you two when you are together!!

[@gr8full2bme]

Thumbs up for Dresden purse. Keep the Dresden ideas coming. Thanks!

[@ceriselody8624]

I got to make this bag. It is a great bag for the summer. Thank you Steven for coming up with this. Thank you Jenny for showing it to us. By the way, love Steven's accent. More bags Steven! I'll call it the Dresden Smile Bag.

[@tinkydiddle]

[@Knittyneeds]

What a happy "couple". How lucky to work together two talented people. These bags are SULIME STUNNING and ADORABLE. The colors are gorgeous. It looked so difficult but you took it step by step great closeups and so well explained. Love it so much and I love you the two love birds. Inseparable when it comes to bag making. You are really amazing. Your fan from France. Thanks for sharing and caring. 😀😀😀💕

[@sallycty]

This is my favorite MSQC tutorial - just great! The purple bag matches Jenny's outfit, and the grey one matches Steven's - I think you need a picture of both of you modeling the bags!

[@johnniemcnair]

I love love love that bag. Wanna do one for my granddaughters

[@hillbillyhandiworks]

Oh I just really enjoyed this video. It just was my beginning smile for the day. Hope Steve comes back for more tutorials!!

[@michellechattha59]

I LOVED this tutorial!! The two of you were a hoot to watch. I'm going to smile the whole time I'm making this bag. Thanks Jenny and Steven (CUTIE).

[@gailself8619]

Y’all are so much fun! Can’t wait to make my own! Thanks!

[@AdelineBrill]

I LOVE it! I think a series of "Bags with Steven" is born!

[@meetzefarm]

Great tutorial. Glad to see a man sewing. Very cool.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Isn't he the greatest?!

[@karenmcgrady6349]

This is my favorite MSQC video because it inspired me to start doing quilting projects (see my previous comment from 4 months ago). I would love to see Steven in more videos, too. He's a sweetheart!

[@shellbarbalet]

Pretty cool that a guy, who works at a quilt shop, designed that gorgeous handbag. Love it!

[@madampolo]

I enjoyed this video so much! Thank you Steven and Jenny for making me smile!

[@jorom13]

how cute!!!! and the bag is cute too!! lol i had to put this one on FULL screen for obvious reasons!!!

[@rardean]

You two make a great team, the chemistery is just right. Love it. Keep him!!

[@Booboonancy]

I rarely comment, but you two make a great team. You explain very well and make it look easy. Well done ! I've only recently renewed my love of knitting/sewing, after a 30+ year hiatus, so this is very helpful ( I know, what the heck was wrong with me !!! ) . Thank you

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Nancy Booboo Thank you soooo much for coming out of the crowd to chat with us. Means more than you'll ever know! Welcome back to sewing/knitting - we're thrilled that you're here!

[@melanievarela4048]

This was so much fun to watch. A great project too. Watching Steven handle that tiny pin cushion was too funny! Thanks Jenny and Steven. Your bloopers are the best!

[@shelaghfolgate1468]

Excellent, huge fun watching. You two are great together. We need him on a regular bag spot. Thanks jenny for another fun project

[@shelaghfolgate1468]

You have a huge following here in England. I just wish the postage was better to order your terrific fabric deals. Ive made a lovely purse from Japanese inspired fabric with surface couching its excellent, thanks again.

[@janetehoffman]

It is a real pleasure to hear Jenny get so tickled!

[@clairel5470]

These tutorials are amazing an great learning tools. I would now say that I am a intermediate quilter and always learning. I love going through these and finding something new. Thanks Jenny from Canada...

[@janinebatcheller8791]

I love this video. Wonderful interaction between Jenny and Steven. Great purse and it is now on my to do list.

[@craftymom7]

Nice Jenny! Only you would find a man that sews bags.! Awesome job Stephen. Now I need to purchase that Dresden tool! Please , Please show us many more bags. Your smiles are infectious! Love Missouri Star Quilt, Co.

[@doloresgrove9461]

Love the bag. I plan on making it soon. Glad to see Steven involved. Jenny you are great. Will show it to my 10 year old grandson and hopefully he will make it for his mother, my daughter. He has already made his first quilt at 6 years old. :-) :-)

[@pearl811210]

Jenny you and Stephen are a hoot! The purse is adorable! Enjoyed the video. Thank you.

[@carmeloreyna1559]

Great job Steven high five. I'll be waiting for your other purse ideas. Thank You Jenny & Steven.

[@karenmcgrady6349]

I have been so intimidated by quilting in the past, but this video looked easy enough that I decided to try it. I made a mini version and it came out great. It took 3 tries to get the handles right because I was trying to just go by memory (bad idea). Thanks so much to both of you for helping me get past the fear :)

[@cj2sew]

Love the bag. Especially the one in grey and yellow fabrics. You two make a great team. Thanks Jenny for another great tutorial

[@1tinac]

Stephen has the best designs. Thanks for sharing. I love this.

[@brendaahrens6042]

New sewer and had to make this bag after watching this video. So glad I found your site. This is a great project for a beginner and fun in choosing different fabrics. Very thorough description easy to follow. Can't wait to make the dresden pillow and the tumbler bag. I think they will be big hits at my vendor sales!

[@SundaysChild100]

Love the bag, love the tutorial. Please bring Steven back with more of his bags!!!!

[@evelynkennedy6659]

This could be a great go to the beach bag.

[@veronicamills5417]

[@CDW-bx2qr]

What a fun and informative video! More purse tutorials with Jenny and Stephen please.

[@naomikeiser8266]

Another great video.....Go the Dresden Hawks lol What a gorgeous accent he has...his Momma did raise him right *winks*

[@KP-mb9jx]

I absolutely love all your tutorials and this one is one of the best. What a charming gentle man your guest is, and such a lovely accent too. Judging by the comments some of the ladies have made on here I think he's got quite fab club. Please can we have more tutorials like this?? A huge thumbs up for your new guest star Stephen.

[@susieqmcf]

Adorable. The purse AND the seamster!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks, Susan McFarland! And you guys are giving him a big head!

[@darrylstrohl]

Great to see another man sewing!

[@joannemartin8299]

love love love the bag !!!! good job Steven and Jenny. You made a great team.

[@milliebecker6261]

I got the book, and the wedge template in the mail last friday, I just made this bag! I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I made the straps longer so I could use it as a shoulder bag and I also added a zipper so it would stay closed.

[@DebbieTaylorpdx]

I'm going to make this today. But I'm going to add a zipper pocket to the lining. Can't wait to get to the fabric store and pick out my fabric!

[@lewisharding8428]

Met Steven at recent retreat, what a great representative for MSQC. He has a great sense for putting fabrics together and truly likes to help the customers. He said he likes to make bags, so I was tickled that I found his tutorial on the Dresden Bag. Great Job Jenny for bring your associates talents to your customers. Encourage Steven to make other bags, I know he has great ideas.

[@melissaorona2834]

I absolutely love your tutorials, Jenny! Steve has done a great job with this bag too. Thanks!

[@madams513TheDeterminedScrapper]

Wonderful tutorial as always. Love the bag and Stephen can come back to show us more anytime. Thanks for another awesome tutorial from the MSQC.

[@2359glenoaks]

As always I learn something new from MQC. Thank you Jenny and Stephen for the video. I think this is something I want to try. Keep um coming!

[@debbie6992]

I’m pulling out Rullers I’ve bought in the years prior and never used them I have 5 I need to use. This is one of them and I sure love this video. My fav and will make this bag. Thank you Mam 😆

[@LMGnh]

How refreshing!! You two make a great handbag making team! Love the bloopers :)

[@soniatonks]

Wow!! Love Michael Miller fabric and the Dresden Plate. Thank you both for this tutorial. God bless. Sonia from U.K. :)

[@karlsmith2052]

I just finished making this bag and I am thrilled with the way it turned out. I used layer cake that was black with gold metallic accents and it really suits the style of the bag. The next one I make I am going to attempt to add an internal pocket with a zipper for keys/phone etc.

[@susanrinehart7986]

As always, love this video and it was so nice to meet Stephen!! Look forward to more ideas for purses from both of you!!

[@jessievnana]

Great tutorial. Jenny and Steven are so great together!! Love it!

Loving the mohawk dresden bag. I can't wait to give this one a try! Please can we have more bags with Steven. j x

[@dorenenagy564]

What a great looking bag. It is so cute. I love that Steven sews. My son is learning. He is 30, and I never had time to show him when he was home. We were learning other things like cooking, washing, and driving mom crazy. lol Oh I love this. You have given me so many ideas for Christmas presents. I don't know if I have enough time to do everything but I'm certainly going to have fun trying. Loved the blooper!

[@krisbakerco]

I love this tutorial and channel. He is a very talented individual and can't wait to make this bag!

[@cherylmcalister5241]

Thank you kindly for sharing, the lovely bag and so simple to make.

[@valerievalagator6780]

I wanna make this bag! Also, Stephen has a beautiful smile. Thanks for a great tutorial

[@philby611]

I bought a 5-pack of fat quarters yesterday with not an idea of what to use it for, just liked it. Saw this video this morning and I'm using those fat quarters to make one of these bags for my granddaughter for her birthday this week.

[@philby611]

Oops. I should have been watching the video as I was making the bag. I put the end pieces on upside down. No worries - I made an accommodation. We'll see what it looks like when it's finished.
