The Monica Carry All by Oro Rosa Patterns

[@annguglielmino8989]

I love this video! And and now that I have an industrial, I want to make this bag but first I need some more lime green vinyl.

[@etezesewvegan8517]

Lauren you just never cease to amaze me!!. No matter if things are not quite going the way you plan you never seem to lose your composure, you just push through until the purse is complete and then somehow looks amazing.:), That being said i did not sleep until you completed your purse so i could see the outcome. Love the purse but I haven't even made my first purse yet so i see this being a project for the future. Thank you so much for the tutorial i could not imagine anyone else doing it better.

[@BarbaraOpett]

Such a Fabulous Bag, you did an excellent job! Yes, I made it through to the end. Little Miss Dorthy is adorable! You just light up when you two are together ! 💕 🛍🎀

[@chucklenz9011]

I'm in awe how u complete all the steps in the correct order and with precision. I'm 80 and come with an farm product supervisory and engineering background. I've been sewing bags doing upholstery work and I'm enjoying your videos.

[@cyn4rest]

Fantastic! I think it was 42.05 -- what a hoot! Love your humor. Colors you put together really sing. Love it.

[@vickylin5126]

Dorothy is adorable!

[@xoKayefox]

I'm cackling at your little dude with the ears, thank you for that XD

[@kelsinaokoyanagi]

This pattern is everything, the bag shape is so elegant! And you did an awesome job on this tutorial!

[@sarasills7259]

You did so good with this bag. Colors are dead on. And how you figure to change things around is mind-boggling. Thanks.

[@mariondunlop651]

Love your hair and hat!!! That baby is so adorable- dorothy rocks! Love the bag- huge!!!!

[@catherineleslie2582]

Hi Lauren I want to thank you for your tutorial on this bag. I had someone call me over Christmas and wanted that bag New Years Eve to give to her son's girlfriend. I was going crazy trying to find the hardware for it and to get it to me in less than 3 days. I didn't have any strap ends so I tried it your way and thank goodness

[@maryorr3925]

I bought the pattern and your tutorial is awesome! Thank you.

[@lauranugent1171]

WOW!! I think I am not quite proficient enough to tackle this bag, but it certainly is gorgeous.

[@LaurenMormino]

Slowly but surely! It’s definitely tricky!

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

[@monicavidal2616]

Looks so good. Thank you Oro Rosa to name a bag after me . :-)

[@karenjordan3226]

Lauren I love how this turned out💖 Your video was amazing ❤️ Thank you!

[@RogueStitches]

I don't even have the patience to sew the squared-off zipper end. I just put a staple in the edge where you stitched. lol I love this pattern. I just picked it up. It will be my first Ora Rosa pattern. I look forward to making it.

[@Lana.Created]

Oh!!! I'm gonna try that next time 🤣 I hate sewing them for some reason. So fiddly.

[@alexisschmidt7469]

Brilliant idea! I super glued some recently to avoid the hand stitching too! I'll try the staple for sure! Thanks for snagging your first pattern of mine

[@laughingskye]

Love the colour choices. I always enjoy watching your vids. Once I can think of where I would use the bag I will buy the pattern.

[@sarahlecain7981]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! I know everyone is saying it but this is such an interesting bag. It's definitely going on a list of bags that I want to make. Love how yours turned out especially with those blue straps popping against the green.💚💙💚

[@teresadejong3011]

Love this tutorial. You are such an artist!!

[@lindaphillips1481]

Amazing bag! Man it's a workout! LOL!!!

[@TheBitterrainbow]

“Also, I really need to take out my recycling.” 🤣

[@purpletoo12]

Great video and adorable baby!

[@suziel7197]

Love the color choices. Can't wait to try it out.

[@sherrimohr8437]

OMGOSH! Perfect timing! I’m making this bag today!!

[@iviolanti6836]

Love your easy-going tutorials!

[@Ivonneymarco]

Good morning!!!

[@toniconway7307]

There is a smaller version of this bag. It's called the Lina cross body bag. And I'd love to see you work that one up as well.

[@stevenarmstrong7575]

Looks perfect for a vintage Singer Featherweight sewing machine.

[@murielhanson7985]

Awesome pattern

[@murielhanson7985]

Back at you...hearts for you and your family.

[@1013fifi]

You got your wish granted with the smaller sister bag the Lina. Also a person added 2 " inches to all withs of the Lina and made like a medium size of the bag.!

[@angelamcgovern1525]

The outside reminds me I of self binding baby blank. Thanks for the great video, love your bag xx

[@alexisschmidt7469]

That was 100% where my mind started when I designed it!

[@aldav7698]

Hello, Lauren. The bag turned out absolutely beautiful and the colors are popping. I love it. I have a quick question. Where did you get your faux leather name tags?

[@everibarra3082]

I want to know too. Thanks

[@practicallyperfect2941]

I got mine on Etsy

[@Ivonneymarco]

Hi Lauren!!!

[@gloriabonham5661]

Great video on the bottom could you just use 2 layers of decovil heavy? I’m going to buy this pattern after watching you make it.

[@carolesowers2402]

Great work!

[@SewFelicia]

That’s an awesome bag. I was thinking, maybe add strap connectors down the side and base (through the inside or outside of the base) so it adds strength to carrying all the items that will probably be put in it. If you know what I mean

[@andreaweichselbaum2844]

You do. an awesome job❣️

[@beckymitchellthestitchingn9859]

Lauren, you make this all look so easy!!! I ordered some fabric from FWS, but I think I ordered the wrong type of fabric!! It is too thick, I think!!! It has like a nylon backing????

[@sewbeitquilts]

I purchased this pattern as I watched you work! I am so excited to make it. What is your favorite bag pattern to make?

[@LaurenMormino]

Currently I’m loving the Erica bowler! It’s so quick and fun!

[@sewbeitquilts]

@@LaurenMormino When I purchased this pattern I eyed that one too, but I haven't made anything from this bag designer yet so I wanted to make sure I could follow the pattern!

[@LaurenMormino]

I do have a few videos on the Erica!

[@frankiehorstman6519]

You look really pretty today!

[@poysenivy7]

Love your tutorials! Can't wait to make this bag. This vinyl is awesome - where is it from?

[@alysonsneyd3401]

Thanks Lauren. Great tutorial! Do you think the longer strap ends would add strength to the bag. I’m concerned that the ones in the pattern may be compromised if the bag gets heavy???? What do you think?

[@vwonsleep]

Hello, I am in the process of making this bag. I did not do the corners right at the 45 degrees. My bag is not flat, but boxed. How can I fix this without starting over from the beginning. Please help. Thanks

[@availablefortalks]

Hey! Have you used a hump jumper or bulky seam aid with your machine? I'm using the same as yours but when there are bits when fabrics are joined and there is a jump it can skip stitches or get stuck. Would appreciate your expertise :-)

[@LaurenMormino]

I do!! But just use spare fabric folded up!

[@sharonnemecek2645]

Good morning, with the exterior of the bag could you use decovil heavy so it's really sturdy?

[@LaurenMormino]

Honestly the peltex and decovil light is amazing! You don’t want anything that has to be fused to the exterior fabric because of the way it’s sewn together. But you could try it!

[@sharonnemecek2645]

@@LaurenMormino I see thank you for responding quickly.

[@alexisschmidt7469]

Designer here! I tried it first with decovil heavy but the results were not nearly as nice as the peltex/decovil combo.

[@cindytrese3712]

Do you think adding the peltex before adding the sides would work?

[@LaurenMormino]

I would follow the directions. I know the designer went through a lot of trial and error when designing the bag!

[@denisemuth2436]

Where did you get our faux leather name plates from

[@SewFun]

Nice bag! How Thick is your vinyl? It looks pretty thick and not drapey (I don't think that's a real word). Since I'm new to working with vinyl I'm trying to figure out how to tell what thickness I really want.

[@LaurenMormino]

It’s a marine vinyl so yes it’s pretty stiff!

[@alexamombravo9788]

Where did you get your scissors that you clip on your machine?

[@LaurenMormino]

They’re Snips from famore.com they attach to magnets I sell on my website moremeknow.com

[@gwennadoty7374]

So you are making the super structured version?

[@LaurenMormino]

Yes

[@nicthompson1549]

im still in at the connectors ,,,, fab tutorial xx but way beyond my skills

[@LaurenMormino]

One step at a time nice and slow!

[@beverlylewis-rachal4618]

How did you fuse the decovil to the peltex?

[@LaurenMormino]

With my heat press

[@kristymcdonald9319]

What foot are you using on your machine?

[@LaurenMormino]

The foot that came with the machine

[@mariadelcarmenmerchan3039]

Que bonito

[@elizabethschoonover3883]

Basically halloween! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marjatherien1603]

Bonjour de France..c’est quoi comme tissu ( l à doublure du sac) il me semble un peu rigide et je trouve cela super .merci de votre réponse amicalement

[@NiCoLe-lb5qn]

I believe she said waterproof canvas!

[@orionshomeproductions]

Yesss

[@marjatherien1603]

Oh ou avez trouver votre appareil pour faire l’es fermetures éclair 😂

[@practicallyperfect2941]

Went to look for a 9.5 x 24 inch ruler ….. £65 in the U.K.! I found it for $35 on US websites. Determined to visit the US but worried I’ll get arrested at the airport for smuggling in rulers and vinyl!!!

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

I liked the end-product, but boy is it fussy. I need some easier bags to tackle first.

[@LaurenMormino]

Definitely a tricky bag. But slow and steady and you’ll get it!

[@donnawood1329]

Another Great Bag, But the angle of the camera missed a lot of what you were doing. Thanks

[@LaurenMormino]

I did notice that towards the end!! 😩 just mostly clipping. But thank you so much for your feedback so I can improve next time! ♥️♥️
