Practice Those Curves! Let's Make The Beachcomber Pouch From Needle and Anchor! Beginner Bag Fave!

[@sophiehutchins]

Am I the only person who loves the long zipper tails? It’s probably because of my arthritic and nerve damaged hands, these help me out so much! Also, can’t wait for the tutorials on the Guardian anti-theft backpack and the Tremont crossbody bag! Hope that you have a nice time doing Disney marathon and focus on you and the excitement more than the early wake-up call!

[@chucklenz9011]

Awww! Let’s face it you love any bag, purse, crossbody bag or backpack. Your the original bag lady!

[@abbisevier2396]

Also, all of your fabric choices are 110% perfect. You should sell some fabric project bundles!!

[@NeedleAnchor]

Thank you so much for doing a tutorial of my Beachcomber Pouch, Jess! I’ll be watching it tonight! 💜

[@2847Katie]

The best explanation of sewing curves and lining. Thank you.

[@simmonerausch1537]

Oh my I love the small pouch ! Stitch is soCUTE!

[@sharonvonsee3164]

I really appreciate how you have close up shots of your sewing. It’s so helpful for me. I learn more from seeing how things are done rather than reading a pattern’s directions.

[@barbarafrangella796]

I always like your show off bag - I always fall in love with your choice of fabrics - so please let us know where you get those fabrics also - the vinyl for Disney - so cute!

[@geraldineself6017]

I can truthfully say, "I love that bag!!!" Your material colors are perfect! I need that in my life. Thank you.

[@aratikunwar3876]

I love everything that you make. It is so helpful for my project. Thankful to you and keep doing these. Love from Nepal.

[@helenbennett1188]

I love all of your tutorials because you explain everything so well. You really have inspired me to try more and bigger projects!

[@rosie11995]

I can’t wait to try this pattern. Thinking of turning it into a crossbody for a child, as they don’t need a lot of pockets yet.

[@kimnordling58]

My Goodness, Jess. Your videos just keep getting better and better.! They are all good, really. I don't know how you do it. Pretty amazing. Anyway, I have this pattern and have not yet made it, but because of this video I am so on it! I love that you tell us how the different fabrics affect the end result. So many great tips! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@brandy4562]

Oh my gosh...I love that Magic Kingdom fabric and that pouch is just the perfect size!!

[@deenel8700]

In love with pink canvas. Awesome tutorial! ⭐️

[@christineotero515]

Hi Jessica, thank you for getting me interested in bag making I can’t wait to start making them with vinyl. I have a Bernina 480 and I am looking for thin vinyl that I can sew with out breaking any needles ( not that I haven’t busted any on my machine well let’s say that pins and supper thick fabric don’t mix let’s say that I have only busted a feeeeeew ). Yes I am looking for recommendations and websites that I can purchase decent vinyl at a good price. I am planning on the boxy bags that joy did a tutorial a while back . Thank you again and good luck on your marathon! I

[@barbaranelms]

I made my Beachcomber today. Thanks for the tutorial. Made it Sew easy! I'll post pics later today on FB.

[@heatherkane5913]

Wow! You just blew my mind with the zipper ends! I avoid patterns that have the veered zippers because I always mess them up. Great tip! This bag looks like the bags Lorelai has in Gilmore Girls that tuck right below the underarm. I love that style. I'll try this with a shoulder strap and see if that works.

[@amytitus833]

I agree with the always install the tags crooked thing! So me as well! In fact I almost named my sewing business "The crooked tag" LOL

[@Noskipstitch]

😆😆 👍

[@patriciakalisak4300]

Beautiful bag beautiful colors

[@DrofJustice]

I love this pouch! What a great quick project! I used the same material types as you did and just LOVE what I created. I didn’t bother with a strap and used a metal zipper end. No issues with the gussets and love the shape. Thanks for this great tutorial ❤️

[@abbisevier2396]

You make everything look so dang easy! 🤣 I'm new to this and watch your videos on repeat, I just need SO much practice lol. Thank you for all of your amazing tutorials!

[@carydelano5484]

Simply beautiful, Jess, thank you!

[@brendadouglas9833]

Cute pouch . I love the material you used for both of them. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@amytitus833]

You always make me smile!! I love your videos at the beginning of the day to perk me up!!

[@lesliebrooke7062]

I have learned I like to rivet the zipper tab to the outside. Typically 1" down from the top of the bag. Keeps the zipper from flapping around and makes it easier to zip up.

[@jaytopham8514]

Hi Leslie, yes I'm not sure about that long zipper tab. I thought that they're typically left long to help bags open wider but this pouch is not a wide one. It still looks good but I love your idea of a rivet to hold it in place.

[@Ellietarh]

Love your videos! Another fun and SUPER easy project you might like is sewing a DIY heat/cool pack with rice, corn or millet as filler. Take care!

[@faithwerksdesigns6197]

I wish I lived near you so I could help you figure out your industrial, all those thick parts would have been a lot easier with your industrial. But it’s soooo cute!

[@pattin5411]

Love your fabric choices

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a great pouch! I'm hand sewing today with my feet up! Thanks for posting!

[@sarahmd5442]

Love it😍 This pouch is absolutely adorable❣ As always thank you for sharing

[@Noskipstitch]

Super super cute 😍 I've always wanted to make this. I didn't know that about waxed canvas...thank u for the tip & the tutorial. Going to make this 👍

[@nancyorourke8044]

So adorable!

[@carolineirwin2716]

I can’t wait to try this one!!

[@martbright]

I couldn’t find my lighter and so I used a birthday candle to melt the zipper 😂 It kind of caught fire… and then didn’t stick very well. I probably won’t try that technique again😀

[@iviolanti6836]

HAPPY AND JOYOUS NEW YEAR!!! From the frozen North.

[@o0oTyPow]

I think you should do more of NandA patterns!!! Like the new Nautilus bag!

[@GeronimoDrWho]

I love your enthusiasm and your step-by-step-tutorials. Thank you 🙏. Yesterday I saw a crazy but cool pattern: Ariadne Biker Clutch. Please, can you sew this clutch for us?

[@annainwonderland100]

love the bag. could definitely put another ring on the other side and make it a small purse.

[@faithhall7806]

Just down loaded this pattern. Thank you the step by step: however, should mention to viewers. This pattern will not download on an iPhone. Needs a Mac computer. I was a little bummed, but was able to get it work on our Mac. Can't wait to make this!!!

[@dturk1385]

Love your videos! Thank you!

[@valerievigil1460]

love this pouch! can you make a pouch to hold essential oils? with lots of little bottle holders/pockets in the inside. So many tutorials out there but I love your videos and I have learned so much

[@rhondaverma6358]

OMG! I’m still working on Christmas gifts!

[@sendieb]

I love that fabric! Where did you get it? Thanks for everything!!!

[@marielaughsloud]

Thank you for the videos! Where can I get the Disney vinyl? I have been looking for Imperial Walker fabric. :)

[@tesssaysew]

Adorable bag! Where did you get that sweet scissors zipper pull? I want!

[@pcmdonophan]

Is there a video for the box bottom beachcomber pouch?

[@iriscunico628]

The clips from Lauren are for sale on her website! Get them while you can. 🎉🤗❤️

[@TrixieCalhoun]

I saw a hack by a bag maker who was making a cork strap. When she folded the two sides together, she used BOBBY PINS to hold down both sides at the same time.

[@MelissaH05]

I saw one too... It might've been sewgnar. But I'm not positive.. great idea and bobby pins are so cheap

[@LaurenLeventhal]

@@MelissaH05 Yes, Nicole from SewGnar uses bobby pins, and when I watch one of her videos, I always think I should dig mine out from under the bathroom sink...

[@TrixieCalhoun]

@Melissa H Yes it was Sewgnar. She's the bagmaker with the tiger tattoo on her hand.

[@elainefagin513]

This pouch is very cute! Your fabric choices are great! I've been wanting to use waxed canvas but have heard it can gunk up the machine bed. True?

[@heatherscott2792]

Love this pattern and am still watching the video... I always love watching your videos because you are just so real :-) Question for you - where did you get the SW vinyl?

[@trinadaguerre8436]

It was in the Grand Opening box..

[@Noskipstitch]

Moremeknow is selling the glitter clips. She said not to worried bc she ordered so many of it. 50 in a pack but I can't remember the price, but it's not expensive

[@margiecastonguay517]

This is so cute...I love watching you

[@Elishadreams]

So can we fuse decovil light to our quilt cotton to make this bag?

[@tesssaysew]

My daughter recently gifted me one of the bee hive pincushions you featured. So cute! I have to ask … I see something behind you on the shelf to the left of your pink KAM table press. It looks like a Liberty of London fabric box. What is it?!?!

[@AChickandaDuck]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@natashawhite26]

Where did the Disney vinyl come from? 🤩

[@marjcurle287]

Love your videos - this is the year I’m going to try bags - really! Is cork another option you’d recommend?

[@sandyhardy3419]

I ADORE Working with cork… And I am not an experienced seamstress though I have been sewing for 40 years… Definitely worth a try

[@michellecapwell6988]

I'm hoping to try this using cork...we'll see

[@yvette3970]

HI! NEW SUBSCRIBER! Just a question: Do you have to use a zipper pull or can you use a regular zipper? (One that's already made?) I'm struggling to find them separately in my area and can't order online.

[@dontbeabeachmyrtle3871]

Can these bags be made on a domestic sewing machine?

[@beacerrone108]

Can this be done on a domestic machine?

[@quiltangelone]

Where do get your fabric from?

[@lford7163]

Great tutorial. Also, I like the bins in the cubbies. The neutral is a good look.

[@mirh16]

Where you get the MK vinyl? I'm a Disney fan 😂

[@sheriknox2084]

At 48 minutes when you are stitching the lining and outer bag together why not use the open arm feature rather than trying/struggling to keep it flat?

[@CheleBoxy]

I got the "you look pretty today" tags from Lauren Mormino and sewed one in the mini backpack from Kandou Crafts (I followed your tutorial!) and gifted it to my sister. SHE LOVED IT!!

[@felbrook]

Hi what are the clips called that you hold everything to gather please Debbie from England x

[@felbrook]

I mean the clips that hold the pattern are they for hair?

[@JustSomeone167]

This reminds me of the kandou craft Luna or lunar. Idk

[@beckymoffitt7705]

Lauren Mormino does her zippers that way. Melts at the sides instead of stitching.

[@margiecastonguay517]

Wax canvas so expensive

[@samesta5695]

I like that this one only uses a little bit. I might finally dive into mine.

[@sandyhardy3419]

Desperately sad about Disney….No one would’ve imagined

[@Roy7..]
