Selene Handbag By Bagstock Designs

[@99999cathy]

Might I suggest, for your puckering issue on the waterproof canvas, that since you're increasing the seam allowance that you clip just a little bit deeper which will allow that fabric to lay nicer for you.

[@karenhickey3377]

I have learned double sided tape is my friend 😆! I have learned so much from watching your tutorials. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher 🤗

[@carolweber573]

Thank you for your video. I made one of these and it was a challenge. I like the design. thank you for your tips and tricks.

[@lormarackler1243]

Hi Kassiah, I just finished the 3rd bag like this. I used your video for extra guidance. I love all your videos and hope you continue to post new things. About my bag, I printed my pattern at 90 percent and I love the size this one turned out. The other two I made I used 100 percent, but this is my favorite size. I also used D rings and tabs to attach my handles to. I did the exact thing to my zipper that you did. Thank you again for all your wonderful video tutorials! You are my favorite!

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

So very cute with the foxy faces lol...beautiful tutorial as always. You're totally inspirational..thank you so much for all you do. Your explanations of little errors is very much appreciated..Lindy

[@reneepeters5772]

I just purchased this pattern on Etsy, and am thrilled to find your tutorial. I'll be following it stitch by stitch!

[@elainefagin513]

I bought this pattern as soon as I saw it had come out. Then I immediately started looking for your tutorial! I had to wait a little while and there it was. I've watched it a couple of times and love it. Thank you for taking the time for doing these. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do watching them!

[@confiusabags]

wonderful bag, and you're a wonderful teacher. I'll be waiting my new industrial machine for make it. Great job!

Mam, your work is outstanding 👏👌

Beautiful bag. That fabric is so pretty.

[@wendydawson8886]

Could you do a tutorial showing the application of the zipper stop, please! Thank you in advance even though this is an old tutorial, I am still learning and very much interested and appreciative of you. Thanks again!

[@duckypam]

Oh my gosh that fabric is darling

[@sewhoneybea]

Kassiah a tailoring trick is to cut 1/4" off the gusset just at the corners. That way the distance is shorter in the corner 😀👍

[@SiahSwag]

Fabulous I was wondering if that would help! I’m trying this next time!!

[@shannona6533]

Hi - I can’t figure out what you are telling us to do - may be too early in the morning for me. Could you explain your technique a bit more as I’d love to improve this section of my sewing. Thanks!

[@reneashbaugh7928]

I bought this pattern the day it came out! I’ve been waiting for a tutorial! Thanks for doing this😊

[@karenhoman5752]

That’s a nice bag. I got an email about it but I did not know it is so big. You make such nice bags.

[@cherylwhitcomb9178]

Thank you Kassiah.

[@sheilarestivo5549]

I made this over the weekend. It’s adorable and a fun see.

[@tammybrooks7528]

Thank you. Very cute. ❤️

[@Luluflowers111]

Fantastic tutorial! I’ve made 3 of these. One of the easiest gussets to sew. I’ve made these with both foam and decovil light. I like decovil light much better. I sew the top zip at 1/8 the seam, join both bags the 1/4 inch vs 3/8 and top stitch from the inside while pulling the lining fabric down to allow the top zip to close perfectly. You should try it!

[@cynthiam9960]

Beautiful bag. Thank you for this wonderful video. Will have to try this pattern too

[@Melissa-sews]

Beautiful bag! Great tutorial!

[@leighharris2873]

When you increase the seam allowance in the lining, you're shortening the length around the side panels without shortening the length of the gusset.

[@sarahmd5442]

Looks super cute! After I saw your order on the live I went and placed a order with BoDeeOh and I'm so excited for it to get here😁 thank you for this video great as always

[@elizabethmastriani310]

Made the bag and I like the pattern. Your fabrics are really nice as usual. I always have trouble with the lining gusset but the vinyl always comes out good.

[@sewhoneybea]

Your choice of fabric! I love Bagstock patterns. Thanks for sharing. 😍

[@mimzyriepensell1423]

Hi, I have not used the canvas, but I was wondering if when cutting the gusset lining piece you graduate the size to accommodate for the stitch alterations and then keep the seam allowance the same and since the excess material will be remove when cutting it out should reduce the puckering???

[@bossandcharlie]

Love all of your demos!! Have you ever demoed a Concealed Carry bag. I am in need of one so I can carry my Smith&Wesson 38 lady revolver! Thank you!

[@bossandcharlie]

@@NiCoLe-lb5qn Thank you so much!!

[@tracygreen7011]

Thank you for doing this video, I am sewing my Selene bag now while I am watching your video. I wanted to share that when you sew the slip pocket and you do the part for the pen I came up 2 inches from the bottom of the pocket just were the pen goes and sewed a line of stiches across that area so my pen would not slip down to far and it would be hard to get the pen out. Just an idea .

[@LuvMyCardiKids]

I’m with you on the pen pocket. The first thing I thought when I saw her sew that was that the pen would slide down and you’d have a dilly of a time getting it out of the bottom of that pocket.

[@bagsandbling7564]

Do you have a DIY tutorial on the cute fringe zipper pulls? They're so cute!

[@SiahSwag]

Yes at the beginning of the Lomexa tutorial I make one!😊

Beautiful Bag 👏👏Teresa Stacey 🇦🇺

[@knotsofmayhem7851]

I'm working on this right now, and I was having the same "gusset" moment. The fix is so stupid simple: flip it! Gusset side down🤦‍♀️😂😂😂

[@melissawesley2873]

That faux leather is so pretty! Love your bag. Do you remember what the name of this faux leather is?

[@MultiCaro2011]

I would like to know too, thanks 😊

[@sueherron2920]

Love your tutorial. Quick question...why do you burn the edges of the zipper? I must have missed that part.

[@SiahSwag]

The zipper tape will fray if you don't melt the edges when you cut it

[@zahraezati5448]

سلام خسته نباشید. مثل همیشه کاراتون عالی و بسیار زیباست. می خواستم بدونم این کیف تلفیقی از پارچه و چرم است یا کامل از چرم استفاده شده. ممنون جواب بدید.

[@SiahSwag]

Hello! It uses vinyl and cotton fabrics

[@karenhickey3377]

Is it possible to add a slip pocket on the the outside? I like adding an outside zipper pocket & slip pocket on her Everyday Tote pattern.

[@SiahSwag]

Yep totally!

[@karenhickey3377]

@@SiahSwag I just seen that part on the video. Lol! I love your tutorials! You are an amazing instructor! Thank you 🙏

[@angiepaul8217]

Would I do anything differently if using Decovil light instead of foam?

[@SiahSwag]

I would just fuse to all your outside pieces first be for assembly. 😊

[@mommyofmch]

Can I make this without the zipper at the top?

[@SiahSwag]

Sure!

[@maryrivera9669]

can you use pul for the linings in these bag stock bag patterns instead of waterproof canvas?

[@SiahSwag]

I’m sure you could

Can you use fusible fleece if you don't have foam? I'm a first time bag maker.

[@SiahSwag]

No fleece does not give a body like foam or decovil light.
