I had to buy this pattern and want to make myself one. Just a hint...to get no puckering in the zipper corners, even when using WPC, before you get to the corner (about a half inch away) use teeny stitches and go around the corner then lengthen your stitch until you reach the next corner. Proceed as usual. You will get beautiful corners every time. Thank you for a magnificent pattern and a really great tutorial.

What a great tip on zip, I’m going to try this when I make this bag. Love this bag!

[@jaydahlgren855]

I absolutely love this bag! Also, I think this may be the best tutorial I have ever seen. I love the way you showed how to do everything, but you didn't t talk incessantly. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@kdillhandmade]

Oh thank you so much!!! That means a lot to me. ❤️

[@pattybroner430]

Excellent tutorial! And thank you so much for illustrating in the pattern where each piece is located. This helps so much when I’m trying to decide where to put the accent colors.

[@dahliamartinez2399]

Thank you so much for the instructional video…. I cannot wait to try it

[@peggybray5450]

Would love to watch you sew on your sewing machine

[@angiepaul8217]

This is the cutest little bag to make for gifts. Because of the different pieces, I can use what I have on hand. No need to buy a bunch of stuff and I love not having to print out the pattern. I'm a quilter and I have all the rulers to cut out my pieces.

[@Kera.S.]

I’m waiting on my new printer. Can’t wait to get my new patterns and things together and make them!Tfs❤👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@duckypam]

So cute Kathy! Oh dear I need another pattern

[@beverlyperry663]

Absolutely adorable!!!! Will be purchasing soon.

[@kathiewise3403]

This is an amazing bag! I think it would be perfect for incorporating my embroidery pieces into the exterior. Exactly what I’ve been looking for! Your pattern is so affordable. Thank you for that! I know how much work that takes! Ugh, the math! I can’t wait to get started!🥰

[@gowheremeetingsmatter9547]

It looks like a fun sew, can't wait to make one this weekend. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@SherryCarlyle]

Love your tutorial but would also like to see you doing the sewing as well.

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you for this feedback. I’m planning to do a sew-along for the pattern in my Facebook makers group and I’m planning to show the sewing in that one.

[@SherryCarlyle]

Fantastic, thank you!@@kdillhandmade

[@rondaschafer7780]

What a wonderful tutorial!

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you so much!

[@welshwitch2126]

That blue is gorgeous. It’s very calming! I have your pattern and look forward to making it😊

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you! It’s one of my favorites too. I love blues and purples together.

[@GalAlex88]

Kathy, this is such an awesome pattern, just bought it this morning and can't wait to make it!! Thank you so much for both it and the video tutorial! 🤩🎉👜

[@belindaleighfrazier8165]

Luv it. Gonna buy the pattern.

[@lyndahargis2495]

Love this ! Thank you

[@ChristineOuellet]

Adorable pattern Kathy! Bought the Roadie Tripster last week. Looks like I'll be adding this pattern as well.🤩

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you so much! This one is so cute. It's definitely one of my most favorites.

[@lindareda5071]

I love this bag! I bought the pattern about a month ago but haven't had time to make it. yet, it will be my next one though!! Thank you for an excellent tutorial.

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you so much! It might be my most favorite pattern. It’s really a fun one to make and it’s a great every day bag.

[@delilahcarbajal6734]

Excellent video tutorial!! Wow!! You make this look really easy! I plan on buying this pattern. Beautiful bag!!

[@kdillhandmade]

Thank you! I love this bag. You can absolutely do it! Please share photos of your finished bag. And feel free to email me any questions you might have.

[@barbararaisbeck8821]

Love this bag

[@producer763m]

Love this Bag! I purchased the pattern a couple weeks ago and plan to make it soon.....I am thinking of hacking it a bit. I love having a built in wallet, so I am going to add a wallet with a snap closure flap to the back panel.

[@shazlahey6784]

Nearly finished the mini & just love the pattern & your video, now need to buy the big roadie pattern 😂thank you.

[@katelanferman]

Love it. It's beautifly adorably cute! Bought the pattern. Watched the video. Ordered supplies. Now I have to wait.... Ugh 1:41:17

[@kdillhandmade]

Aw thank you so much! I can't wait to see your bag. I hate waiting too - I usually start my bag then realized I don't have everything I need and have to stop half wait through to wait for my order to arrive. So, I think you're a step ahead! :)

[@tesshunter4494]

Excellent tutorial, Kathy! I’ve purchased the pattern and will be shopping for acrylic templates. Also the blue watercolor roses are beautiful! One question: What kind of machine do you sew on? Thanks!

[@marilynmiller9425]

I love the pattern and the video but I have hit a snag. I cut the pieces using the dimensions given on page 5 of the pattern. Upon assembling the front panel I found that the zipper pocket and accent piece are too narrow by half an inch. I went back and remeasured the pieces and found they were cut to the proper dimensions. What have I done wrong?

[@susanhoward6656]

Are there directions for the drop in lining like you mentioned in the video?

[@screamingeorge1]

What is the little rivet snap gun thimg

[@gail9289]

Would the xbody make a good belt bag?

[@user-zd5pg1qx1z]

Love this pattern! What type of fabric did you use to make this bag please?

[@margarethemphill606]

Hi thank you for all of your videos, I got the pattern and I cut the pattern out, the 1” block is 1”,but when I measured the pattern it was wrong. I printed at 100, can you tell me what I did wrong. I never had a problem before thank you,

[@ashley0921]

Are you using 2 types vinyl in this video? Or is the blue waterproof or water resistant canvas? Just bought this pattern recently. Vinyl and cancas you interface i believe your pattern stated unless water resistant or waterproof

[@lindaschaffer9824]

I have a new Semi Industrial machine and I’ll use Tex 045 ( think)….what should be used in the bobbin? Can I use embroidery bobbin thread? I have a lot to learn! TIA!!!😊

[@kdillhandmade]

I have a Juki TL2000Qi and use Tex45 in the bobbin without any issues. My only recommendation is to not use the auto thread cutter, if you have that, with Tex45 as that can strain and potentially cause issues with the blade.

[@CharBallenger]

May I ask where you purchased the orange print fabric you used on the bag found on the pattern. I have someone who requested the same exact bag 🙃🤷‍♀️

[@kenishaw1880]

I've googled for waterproof cotton and don't find it. Did you oticoat your cotton to make it waterproof?

[@kdillhandmade]

I got my waterproof cotton from MoreMeKnow. I haven’t tried odicoat yet.

[@user-zd5pg1qx1z]

What kind of sewing machine do you use to make your bags please?

[@ettastanley9533]

Where can I buy the Material and hardware for this bag.

[@kdillhandmade]

The material is from More Me Know. I get my hardware from there too. Or SiahSwag.

[@mikewill1229]

I don’t see the instructions for the drop in liner. .

[@owlcroftdesigns7745]

Love your pattern, great tutorial... But the camera shakes a lot throughout the video, making it dizzying to watch.

[@kdillhandmade]

Sorry about that. I’m working on getting a better camera set-up.

[@owlcroftdesigns7745]

This is a very pretty bag! @@kdillhandmade

[@limbeeeng416]

Lovely tote but too complex for me. Thanks 😊

[@welshwitch2126]

I’m very new at bag making. I’ve had to learn to give myself some grace when I make mistakes. Sometimes you have to just jump in and try. Often times, I refer to the tutorials several times while making a bag!

[@limbeeeng416]

@@welshwitch2126 it’s alright. I can skip this. Though I’m not new but I prefer simpler designs. . There are many bag tutorials tt I had learned n done too.

[@handmadebyMickie]

Actually, I find the clip “flipping” way more distracting than if the clips aren’t all face up/face down. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@kdillhandmade]

Ah good to know. 🤣 It never even occurred to me until someone mentioned it. I’m just like clip is on? Holding everything together? Great! 😄
