Big fun this month! I turn 61 and we’re having a Pizza Margherita party to celebrate my birthday and college graduation! Thanks for the Bag Lab!

[@katharinemurphy9369]

Thanks for this Bag Lab. I have a few Renaissance Ribbons that I wasn't sure how to incorporate into my bags... and now I have options!

[@sheereenhassim2064]

Sara, you are so dedicated. Thank you for the prerecorded show. As always, so informative 👏

[@alicecornelius7449]

Thank you Sara, my husband and I are traveling to Florida to visit his mom. Looking forward to it. Take care.

[@dianalichvarik1251]

Great Bag Lab on creating the ribbon strap. Love to take fun driving trips in the summer. Looking to travel to Virginia this year and see all the sights.

[@TanyaDBryant]

My fun plans for July will be celebrating my Dad’s 70th birthday 🎉. I really enjoyed the bag lab this month. Thank you!

[@jaimemartin3965]

You are so sweet to support other sewists by purchasing from her and sharing her website.

[@susandarby101]

Loved the ribbon strap tutorial❤

[@juliannekarman1524]

I do not have any set plans for June or July … we are going on vacation in October…. Love the strap demo, and thank you for pre-recording the show!!! Loved see you!

[@cynthiabyron4939]

Love all the stuff you reviewed! June/July plans, enjoy the summertime!

[@amandagajewski6335]

I made a summer bucket list for while I am working in South Dakota. Adventures all month long!

[@rital3041]

Loved learning how to make the ribbon strap!

[@gourmetlah8722]

Thank you Sara and Danny. I always enjoy your videos, taped and live! I like the process and the challenge of making bags but I’m terrible at choosing the right fabric for the right bag. I hope you can do a lab on choosing fabric (whether leather, vinyl, cork, canvas, etc) for your popular bag designs.

[@brendaschuette8906]

Have some great trips planned for June and July. Going to Land of Natura water park with family in June and going on a 10 day motorcycle ride down to North Carolina. Will grab fabrics and make bags with the fabrics from my trips so I am always reminded of the fun!

[@kcreshel8612]

Looking forward to simple but elegant bag patterns

[@Sharonh03]

Fabulous demo for the strap option 😍

[@barbaradesousa9122]

I enjoyed the strap demonstration.

[@D9P323]

I've avoided ribbon because I haven't been sure how to attach the ribbon ......thank you! I like the stability of the shape flex

[@rgvtexas8391]

Have a blessed month and see you in July

[@LeftyOne12]

I love you videos. I have bought all 4 minikins and the patterns are all very easy to follow

[@lsarnp620]

Love your show...learning sew much

[@teresashaw8931]

Have a great week

[@maureenkent2565]

A highlight for July will be attending the Rolling Stones concert in Vancouver 😊 I loved the Bag Lab demo and will definitely try it out. I just finished making the Widget Messenger bag for my grandson and that would’ve been the perfect opportunity. I agree that cork is wonderful to sew with. Thanks for another great show!

[@lorettaclinton6604]

I really enjoyed your Bag Lab this month! I have some of Tula Pink’s ribbons!

[@marjoriebell198]

I’m late to watching as I spent the last few weeks preparing for a sewing demo I was giving to my ASG group as well as a major knitting class I was hired to teach. Everything went well and now I can enjoy the rest of the month!

[@musictoliveby08]

This was such a timely tutorial! Thank you. ❤ I could only find twill 1.25” tape in my local store for a strap and now I have the ideal remedy than what was suggested. 😃

[@paulineshaw1548]

Really enjoyable show! Our plans for June and into July are 3 weeks holiday on the Greek island of Kefalonia, one of our favourite places🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇷☀️

[@GingeryR]

As always, fabulous video

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I’m bedridden so I miss all the fun holidays. I will probably be watching Yankee Doodle Dandy a few times during the month of July!

[@anastasiaflegas253]

Fun plans includes a beach vacation and spending time with family.

[@montanawendy]

Yes I have used magnets in bag making before. Thank you for the strap tutorial!

[@Lena-sn4fl]

I loved the horses and dogs!

[@eileenvitale2139]

great bag lab and show

[@pywagner]

Great demo today. My fun plan for July is going to my class reunion. They say it'll be our last as it's been 54 years. We missed 50 cuz of covid so finally got our acts together! Thanks for a fun Sewcial Sunday!

[@MeMareOO]

Just found your channel and have binge-watched a few already. Great content! June/July plans will be getting some quality time in with hubby as we are both recently retired and now have time for us. And to work on a few sewing projects I've got planned.

[@chrisdomalewski6552]

For fun, I was accepted into a ‘giant’ craft show on the New Jersey beautiful coast; where 300 juried artisans will be one block away from the beach showing and selling their work. So, on 6/15 I hope to have fun and get thru the very long day….but I have been sewing like a madwoman to prepare for the event. Praying for a sunny and pleasant weather day, and for the energy and stamina to smile no matter what happens!

[@vamailer]

I plan to go to a concert in June with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. Should be fun and interesting. Thanks for a great show ❤

[@lindateal469]

I have a full week sewing retreat coming up the last week in June and I can't wait!

[@lesleyrichard888]

Thanks again for all your great information. You are very generous with your sharing.

[@LauraMitchell-b9l]

Dear Mrs. Lawson...It did not matter that your Sewical Sunday was taped this month, I am always glad to get all the information you give for building my sewing skills. I'd be happy to have taped weekly programs if you could find the time to tape short reels about new information and products. I feel like I'll never be able to be in your league as a sewist. Watching you is such a treat, you're calming-your patience is something I try to imitate. I'd love to win a gift card -my answers to your questions this month are 1) No I have never used magnets. They are something I'll be buying. My three year old grandson is interested in everything in my sewing room. Children swallowing magnets is a real danger. He's not allowed in my sewing room, but my question, do the magnets come with warnings about swallowing and keeping out of reach of children? 2) no plans this summer except to enjoy my sewing projects and my grandchildren...I got a new granddaughter Feb 1 of this year! Thank you...Mrs. Laura Mitchell, Medina, OH---in between Cleveland and Akron....

[@amycook6468]

Another great show! Love that you recorded it since that worked better for your family plans. So smart.

[@janice5988]

Fabrics are gorgeous! We just got a puppy. So we will be training and loving her! What joy!

[@rebeccapeterson5326]

Great show!

[@alishamueller4201]

We will have visitors this July from Belgium and from the States and I am really looking forward……my coming sister from Belgium has workedwith me on different of your patterns….I just helped her because of the language….

[@sewhappy16w]

Great lesson on strap making. I now know what to do with all those beautiful ribbons that I see out there. Thank you.

[@teresashaw8931]

Great show

[@BellaSandella]

Thank you for the bag strap demo Sara! I am seeing these everywhere and they can add such a distinctive finish to our bags. Hope you’re having a great summer! Hi Danny! 😊❤

[@karenh2789]

[@judywilson524]

Great demo

[@sheryleclute836]

I enjoyed the podcast as usual. Always learn something. I an heading from a balmy 78 in south Carolina to in the hundreds at my home in Texas. Lol

[@sandralamica5333]

Taking a trip to Maine in June.looking forward to it.

[@VirginiaM49]

Great questions from Danny! I love learning how various people think through topics like that. Everyone has their own unique ideas and it forces me to stretch my own thoughts.

[@dhuffman53]

I will be spending 5 days in Las Vrgas in July...hope to do some fabric shopping Thank you for the tips in your video.

[@kailene5067]

Always enjoy your show. Well done Danny on your questions and bag picks. I liked the dogs prints the best. Thank you Sara, I learn a lot from your shows

[@KatiFalk1]

You do a really wonderful instruction video. Very clear and precise with no wasted time.

[@teresacrawford3143]

Danny had great questions! Thank you for the answers to each one. Provided some things to think about and put into practice for future projects.

[@margueritefrancis1957]

I’m going to the US Open at Pinehurst. I feel very fortunate. I made some crossbody bags that meet the USGA “rules” for this event-for myself and the friends I’m going with. Can hardly wait.

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thank you for sharing.

[@MEC03]

Simpler sews with fewer pieces would be good as long as they have the same aesthetic we’ve come to expect. Sometimes we need a quick, classy project. Thanks Sara and Danny!

[@ingemariahansen4081]

Holliday whit my son and sewing retreats ❤

[@genekaufmann8113]

Hello Sara, great to see you again…. I definitely love the dogs fabric….!

[@yuhwoo84]

I missed the stream but came to catch up! Love the baglab, I am going to try it!

[@berniecelee5062]

Fantastic tutorial ! I just saw a bag with guitar strap and I was oh??? Never thought of that combo and I love that look and very good to swap out the straps and gives the bag a different look.very versatile. So thank you for showing us how to make this kind of strap 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

[@amandagajewski6335]

Thanks Danny!!

[@LeftyOne12]

June 1st we celebrated my daughter’s birthday by getting our meals at our favorite burger joint Krekel’s in Decatur, Illinois. We took our food to our favorite place, Rock Springs Conservation Area. It was drizzling rain that day, but for our time there it did not rain at all. They have a huge plate glass window inside with about 7 bird feeders to look at the many birds. They also have several rooms for the young children to explore nature. I have been taking my family there for 35 years. There are many hiking trails too.

[@jacquiheasman2048]

Great bag lab. I love how a strap can be elevated by adding fabric or ribbon.

[@jackiemaddox6933]

Always enjoy Sewcial Sunday. Thanks for the book review. Also, I don’t retain a lot of what I’ve already read, so I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t mind re-reading a book 😊

[@NK-jy4zy]

Love watching sewcial Sunday. Have some travelling plan in July.

[@shesoma8273]

Love watching your show. We are going to our grandson's wedding in a couple weeks. Only expect it to be wonderful!

[@lindamcdermott5472]

My fun plans for July are to spend lots of time with my grandkids making memories!

[@donnacornell6340]

Great show once again. Loved Danny's questions, learned a lot from your answers. Actually liked the premier format, hope you do a few more.

[@jeannemcneill8997]

Thank you for the great bag lab tutorial on ribbon straps- I will definitely be making some. I have two fun things planned for June- a 4 day quilt workshop with the renowned Jane Sassaman- applique quilter and then a backpack bag class!!!! Lucky lucky me.

[@soapingirl2358]

😂was worried I would miss the live. So smart of you to eliminte not getting back in time! I was traveling too. TX to VA. I have to say the simpler to sew but looks complicated. I want to make a leather bag and these are the best to try. I think they would look great

[@jaimemartin3965]

Hmmmm, I like all the bag packs! It would be a hard decision, but I would probably go with the pink horses.

[@jaimemartin3965]

Cute dog fabric bag packs

[@stephiepeterson]

Watching the replay. Enjoying the show. Sara, we have such similar taste. My favorite quilt in that book was the same as yours. Would love to make it. lol. I will have to check out the thriller book you recommended!

[@tonivergara5725]

I think magnets would be great to try!

[@lorettaclinton6604]

My husband and I just returned from a vacation, we took a ride on the Rocky Mountaineer train from Denver, Colorado to Moab, Utah! Such an awesome trip! While in Moab we hiked Dead Horse Park and Arches National Park, it was so breathtaking!

[@genekaufmann8113]

Your bag lab taught me a great method to make the strap…thank you !😍

[@gloriapatton9111]

I love the organic canvas fabric with the dark yellow accent and the companion fabric. I’m heading to your website right now to hopefully score that if it’s not sold out already. 🤞🏼🙏🏻
