Sandhill Sling Sew-Along: Week 3

[@darlenefrederick8444]

Another tip for the lining gusset: Draw a line 1" from the long edge you wish to fold. Fold the fabric to that edge and press. This is a great tutorial!

great tip! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I didn’t know you did these sew along vid’s, it’s the ONLY reason I never bought your patterns, until now! I’m such a visual learner it’s ridiculous! Thank you. I’m a seasoned bag maker and I Love the detail you show too. Makes all the difference for me

Thank you so much for these “bite-size” videos

Oh I'm so glad you like them Sandi! :)

I just finished my first Sandhill Sling! I did get a few pleats but they're not bad. I did waterproof canvas binding method but I'm typically an inside ourlt bag maker so going to try the drop in lining next time. Thank you for these amazing tutorials! I have several of your patterns and love them all!

thank you so much for the tutorial . I was not going to make this bag, but I found this and It has been so fun to make with your wonderful help. I hope you make more of these

Anna, I know I'm late to the party, but thank you so much for your sew alongs. They help so much! I don't know if I could have made it through those curved corners with my sanity intact without this particular video 😆

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

Glad that helped Rachel! :)

Thank you Anna! Assembled one of my bags last week but really struggled with getting around those corners using waxed canvas. So glad I waited and watched this video, my second one looks so much better! Really love the look of the waxed canvas on both, but may try a canvas fabric for my third one! Absolutely love this pattern! 😊❤️

Was able to get this Week 3 complete! Can’t wait until next week! I picked up a tip awhile ago for ironing a 1/2 inch and thought I would share. Get a piece of cardboard and draw a 1/2 inch line on it on one of the long ends. Then you can use that as a template to put fabric up to the 1/2 inch and iron it. You can use it over and over because the iron works great over the paper!

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

Yes, waxed canvas would definitely make it trickier! Glad the video helped!

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

Thanks for sharing that Heidi! Glad you're excited for next week!

My gusset comes out so big that there are numerous puckers. What am I doing wrong?

[@dianebass2714]

Nice video, but that repetitious music in the background is driving me batty. And it really makes it hard to hear for someone with a hearing impairment. Please leave off future videos.

Thanks for the feedback Diane! Hope my newer videos are better for you (and others).
