This was such a clear, perfectly brief with all needed info. You're teaching is great. Thank you. I just made the bag and it came out great. I did put two straps so that when I'm looking for something in my bag I can keep the other strap on my shoulder and not have to put the bag down. I'm using a heavy magnetic snap. So I'm either going to put a diamond-shaped matching piece of material over the hardware that shows on the outside of the bag. Also, I'm thinking I could have put the snap on the lining so that the outside wouldn't show. But it's heavy duty so I'm going to do it the first way. When that's done the bag is complete although it is usable now. Thank you so much. I did subscribe. And I gave you a thumbs up.

Missed you. You're the best. :)

[@sotakhandmade]

thank you so much 😊

[@jobrown2957]

So nice to see you back! Your tutorials are so wonderfully clear and when complete are very professional looking.

Thank you, very clear verbal instruction, please keep them coming, I'm a big fan.

[@terryannsweeney4428]

I'm so glad I found your tutorial! You were so clear and thorough! I am going to make/weave my own fabric and wanted to make a purse! Thank you thank you thank you 😊😊😊❤!

[@sotakhandmade]

Wonderful!

[@rosendabarrera308]

Welcome!!!! We miss you

[@yooperlooper]

Thank-you for the dimensions in inch for us Americans! :) And an even bigger thank-you for the verbal instructions. I'm pretty new at sewing and just watching finger pointing isn't as helpful as your great instruction!! Bravo

[@inforestsweheal]

I am in shock and awe. I followed your instructions and, while it took me a lot longer than I care to admit, I have my own hand made tote bag. And it's because of you Svetlana. You're amazing. You gave me the confidence to try to make this bag and I'm so grateful - your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I will go on to try other things now. THANK YOU!!!!

[@evavivezasosa874]

We have missed you!!!

[@sotakhandmade]

thank you, it's good to be back 😀

[@deadzoo]

Another amazing tutorial, thank you Svetlana! I’ve just made a bag from this tutorial and it turned out perfectly. Your attention to detail and excellent teaching and communication skills make it so easy to follow. I think I’m going to be making so many of these!

[@RuthMAA]

Hello Sotak, just found you on KZbin. Thank you for your friendly, clear and helpful guidelines. Its a pleasure to have you help me design my shoulder bags. Best wishes to you and your family. Ruth xx

[@barbarawatson557]

You have the best videos so easy to follow

[@Jenjane55]

Still watching this tutorial. Thank you for your channel.

[@user-vm4fv6oy9u]

I’m brand new to sewing. Broke my leg then covid hit all during my year long recuperation.I ordered a machine online and with no knowledge or lessons have been trying to use KZbin to “self” teach on easier/beginner projects. Love watching your videos, and as soon as I feel confident cutting the fabric I plan to attempt several bag/tote videos of yours. I love the fabrics and linings you choose. I would have never been able to see how great they look together. Must be a gift to be able to visualize! Thanks for your calm easy teaching style.

[@annakitty7983]

Thank you for this tutorial, I haven't sewn in over 30 years and now am retired, I am ready to sew again. This tutorial is easy to follow, and bag was fun to make.

Your instructions are so easy to follow .. I am using old jeans fabric (from husband, hehe) for the exterior and canvas for the interior. In addition, I am using pellon 808 craft-fuse (just because I had leftover from a different project). Let's see how it looks at the end ... thanks🥰🙋🏽‍♀️

I always enjoy your videos so much. I learn something new every time. This time I learned that pressing is important, especially in the finishing. You probably always do that but this time it clicked in my brain! I need to find some stiff webbing like that. Thanks for sharing!!
