sew a functional satchel -the sassy satchel sewing project

[@lisalu910]

As always I LOVE your pacing. You get straight to the point with no endless chit chat. You show everything very clearly but you keep it moving and you don't give long, tedious explanations (We can always pause or rewind when necessary.) Great video.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Thank you so much ❤❤

[@fernengle1990]

I love this bag. All the pockets I need. I like the metal zippers. I changed the 2 top zipper panels from 3" to 5" for a wider opening. I used Guatemalan Ikat Fabric that I purchased on Etsy. I have been making your beautiful bags for more than two years now. Your excellent video tutorials are a treasure, thank you so much for your time and effort.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Notes : at about 6:43, I wrote the panel 11 (d-ring tab holder) measurements 5" x1", please disregard, it should be 5" x 2", I have corrected the measurements in the pattern as well. at 13:11, draw the zipper template about 1 1/2" (4cm) down fro the bottom.

[@SWATHYRG]

Just completed this Sassy Satchel today and uploaded the picture on your fb page. But my picture is not coming up. Anyway, Thanks a million for this pattern and detailed step by step tutorial. I took the liberty of eliminating the middle carry handles and added a magnetic snap to the back slip pocket. Thanks again for sharing your talents.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

That sounds fabulous, I'm not sure why the pic didn't come up, maybe an error at that moment you may give it another try if you want. Thank you for taking time to leave a comment ♥️

Sounds great Celia, have fun with your project ❤️

[@patriciaberne613]

Hi, Yoan. Do you have a tutorial for a pleated handbag? I make bags using your tutorials because I really like the way that you explain things. Thanks for your help. Pat Berne

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Hi Patricia, I have this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2TCi4mQeq6BZ80 that is pleated. Thank you ♥️

[@patriciaberne613]

@@YoanSewingStudio I have been eying this pattern since you first posted it, Yoan. I am elderly, and I have to carry all kinds of things for both my and myself when we go anywhere! If I increased the measurements by 4 inches (width and length) for the exterior and interior of the bag, would I also increase the bottom panel by 4 inches? I know this is a dumb question. You can tell that I’m not a very experienced sewist! I know that I would also have to increase the drawstring casings to accommodate the increased width, but I can figure that one out, thanks to your earlier tutorials on drawstring bag making. I assume that I have at least 1/2 on each side of bag with the finished casing?? Thanks for your help, Yoan. Pat Berne

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Love it thanks for sharing ❣️✂️🪡🧵❤️💕

you're welcome ♥️

[@aehcreationsbythecraftycre6343]

I just made my first bag. Your pattern was very easy to follow, especially with your amazing tutorial. I even used vinyl for the first time. Thank you so much. Is there a place I can share a photo of my bag with you? Maybe your FB page?

[@YoanSewingStudio]

So glad to hear that, yes you can tag me on FB or Instagram (yoansewingstudio), thank you ♥️

[@msturina]

Hi I’m in the middle of making this beautiful bag and I have a question re panel 11 ( d rings tab holder). The instructions say to cut a 5x1 inch and fold the long side to the center. When I do this, the holder is smaller than what is shown in the video.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Hi, the measurements should be 5" x 2" , so they should measure 5" x 1" after the folding (i have corrected in the cutting instructions), sorry for the mistake and thanks for bringing this to my attention ❤️

[@rosemarysgonzalez3765]

I love this tutorial also the explanations of cutting measurements. And you showed them in cm and inches. I will definitely be making this bag. I have a question. What is the bottom facing called for stability. ? Thank you again for sharing such a beautiful bag. ❤

[@YoanSewingStudio]

i use fusible foam stabilizer similar to these ==> amzn.to/3WLgBZA

[@Knitapeace]

Hi Yoan, I'm sure you have this information somewhere but I just can't find it. How far down from the top of the interior zipper pocket panel should I be drawing the template for the zipper? It looks like 2" but I've gone through the pdf pattern, the video, and the video tutorial you linked (which says 4", I think that's too much). Can you please help? I fell in love with this pattern the first time I watched the video and I'm so excited to be making it for myself now!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

about 1 1/2" down for the top, i missed drawing the arrow on the screen (sorry for the confusion).

[@Knitapeace]

@@YoanSewingStudio Thank you so much for the speedy reply! I hope to have the bag complete in a couple of days and I'll tag you on Instagram assuming I can get some decent photos. :)

[@YoanSewingStudio]

@@Knitapeace Anytime. Have fun with your project ❤

[@CraigsOverijse]

Very clear but on the strap saying install all the hardware and passing over it I can figure it out but woukd have preferred being shown

[@mrscouts07]

Thank you so much, Yoan! What kind of interfacing do you use when you recommend FWI? I use SF101 but I feel like I need something with a little bit more structure.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

yes, it's the sf101, you can try experimenting with heavier interfacing (do a bit of testing before hand, see how you like it).
