That was so funny to watch but at the same time so true of what we all do!! Love it.

[@SandcastleDesigns]

This is why I keep it real in my videos! Thank you!

[@peabody20121]

I love your video. Thank you for not editing out when you were dropping in your lining. We all have those moments! I needed to know I'm not the only one. ❤

[@SandcastleDesigns]

Absolutely!! Keeping it real over here!! 💗

[@melissabunn7453]

So glad I found your channel.

The JUKI really is a quality machine. I am saving to buy one. The ease in which the presser foot produces a refined, professional look is second to none..😌❤

[@SandcastleDesigns]

You will love it!

[@sbrickett]

I’m so glad you show your little missteps. Most people edit those out. It’s refreshing to see this.

[@SandcastleDesigns]

It is what I teach! We are all learners first and foremost! The most successful people in the world fail over and over again until they get it right! It is a false notion that you start out and go straight to perfection!!!!! This is why so many of us in the world give up before we succeed! I need to do a video on just this!!

[@sbrickett]

That is one gorgeous bag, Renee! Love the way you did the zipper pocket, it's so neat! On 33:11 I was like "oh no, not that way" (btw, that always happened to me too whenever it's time to insert the lining ). I just love watching you make the bag, thanks for sharing!

I’m so happy to see you make mistakes, because that tells me YOUR HUMAN 😅😅. I love sharing the fact that we are human and make errors. Love your technique of sewing. I make bags as you, and my Jewelry is called “1OneofaK1nd”. So I’m with you taking something and making it unique. My Tutu’s are the same 1OneofaK1nd… keep it up. Love your channel.

While you were showing how to put in the lining I thought you might need a cup of coffee, but then I saw the Mountain dew and I said to myself that is what she needs. 😀🤭

Thank you so much for the demo on the zipper with the overlay! I have avoided overlay zippers because it drove me crazy to have to cut off so much fabric. With the way you did it there is no waist.

Fabulous video! Thank you! I am a super beginner and this really helps me understand the techniques hen mentioned in groups.

[@SandcastleDesigns]

Fantastic! I am always available should you need assistance!

[@Jlayism]

Thanks so much for the video! I was cracking up when you were installing it. I have to stop myself from turning the lining every time I get done with it.

[@Jlayism]

Since we last spoke, I've made 2 drop-in bags. After some fine tuning, I discovered shrinking the seam allowance (at the rim) by 3/16 (on each side, 3/8 total) all of the excess material around the rim was gone! I was so happy. I did still taper in after about an inch, like you did. I use a pretty heavy interface, so excess material is a real pain.

[@SandcastleDesigns]

I go back and forth between birthing bags and drop in lining...I was not sure if I wanted to keep this part in, then I thought...why not? You know that we all do this sort of thing and I am all about being authentic! So appreciate your patience with it!

[@Jlayism]

@@SandcastleDesigns its totally fine, I like the bloopers. It's nice to see the KZbin stars are still human.

[@SandcastleDesigns]

@@Jlayism Totally human! It is exactly what I want you to know is that we operate no differently than anyone else. Mistakes give you plenty of data, they are extremely important in the process of success!

Hahah - that confused me - nearly left the show LOL - why did you not edit out some...of that? ....ummmm little mistakes are good but that was a big one. Anyway thankfully I stuck with you despite confusion! You are so honest

[@SandcastleDesigns]

You must be new to my channel! welcome! So what we do here is focus on learning! I've been sewing for over 50 years...I purposely show mistakes. I started sewing in factories back in the 1970s and it's important that I share being real as part of the process of getting to the end result. So glad you were able to stick to the end. Editing out part of the process would not have been helpful and would have given everyone a false sense of what I am doing here. My goal at the end of every day is what did I learn...mistakes are full of data...It has made me successful in everything I have accomplished in life! I wish the same thing for you! Laughing about it ....even better!

The drop in lining…..I kept wanting to yell at you! So funny. You started today what you liked about the duckbill scissors, but then you had to answer the door. What do you like about them? Enjoyed the video!

[@SandcastleDesigns]

I kept that in on purpose Karen! I thought it was hysterical! I have two pair of those scissors! They reduce the risk of catching fabric on two thicknesses and you can cut closely and precisely also great around curves! Thank you again! I appreciate you and your sense of humor!

Beautiful bag! Great video and very realistic! When sewing with leather, and even some vinyls, whether the 1541or your Thor, how do you stop the feed dogs from chewing on the leather/vinyl? I wish they made a Teflon walking foot for the 1541, but then there are still feed dogs.

Gee whiz. I wish I had seen this video before I made my last two bags. I was so upset with myself when I added the slip pockets.

Thank you for sharing this technique.

[@dlrigter1035]

Hi Renee, in the video you said you were using the same grey thread throughout the bag. Does that mean the same weight as well? If you used the Mara on the domestic Juki were you using that as well on the 1541 and on Thor? Just wondering how fine you can go on the thread on those two industrial machines. Thanks

[@SandcastleDesigns]

I only used the gray Mara on the domestic for this lining. The rest of the bag was violet leather. I use Tex 69/70 bonded poly on the industrial machines for this bag. In the old days I have used the Mara 70 on my industrials, but not in a long time.
