Hello, Jess...I love your tutorials! I am looking for the pattern. Where can I find it? Thank you for your help.

I am new to your channel and can I say I really love it, you share your mishaps and don't hide those that people usually do. We aren't perfect and enjoy the this is hard for me comments because there are some things I just can't always get 100% perfect no matter how much I sew. Thank you for your honesty and I am already working on some bags for me and family

I’ve made four! One of which was my very first custom order. I love Jo’s bag patterns. Every one is brilliant and great for domestic machines.

Isn't she just THE BEST? Her patterns are beautiful and I could listen to her talk all day. I'm so happy to have joined the Country Cow family.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Since this was my first bag (and I decided to add the zipper closing at the top - really brave of me - ha!), it took me a bit and yes there was lots of seam ripping, yelling and cursing. But I did it! Yay me! Your tutorial helped a lot, thanks!

[@grammiefish]

Jess! Thank you for the awesome instruction on this, My First EVER Crossbody bag!! The vinyl was a struggle on the final top stitch! But I got er done!!

It was fun to watch your interpretation of making the Teloujay-love this bag, after watching Jo a few times making it, I just completed my 3rd bag last week-it is a fun bag and so many options! My last one which was for my daughter-she wanted pocket front and back, plus extra mesh pockets inside-so fun!! thanks for doing a tutorial-loved it!!

[@elainefagin513]

Jess, You do a truly lovely job and I enjoy watching your channel. As a matter of fact, I look forward to your new tutorials. As far as the double-sided strap goes, you should take a look at the Siah Swag H2O 2 GO tutorial about how she does the double-sided strap. It is genius and takes away the bulk - it looks like something you would do. Great job and keep the tutorials coming!

We travel a lot out of the country, and this bag is awesome for travel! You can use it to hold the Emmaline wallet, as well as your passport, and there's plenty of room for receipts, and collectable magnets or postcards. Also holds a water bottle (US bottles, not EU bottles unless you use the large size). A great all-purpose travel crossbody bag.

[@barbarafrangella796]

Great Tutorial as usual....Does the bag tip, because the strap connectors are on opposite sides? I made the Double Clutch by Spencer Ogg and it tilted a lot I ended up inserting the connectors in the center inside piece at the top and a magnetic snap in the center of the two pouches..it turned out great..Thanks you are a great teacher and fun to watch. Barb

[@OklaRoots]

That's a great point. I think if you added purse feet that would help keep it upright. Most of my smaller crossbody bags like this don't stand well on their own.

[@Lizannie9101]

I have a question.. does it have to be quilt cotton for the fabric?

Love this bag. Would you recommend doing a box corner instead of the inserted base? What would be the benefits of either way? Cheers Elaine

[@stephaniecrosson1538]

Have you tried using a walking foot (also used in quilting) to help with the bulky seams?

Ooo that's such a hard one! I've only used a few sewing machines, and I would say if you want to be able to make bags and quilts I would suggest the Juki TL 2010q. It's mid range in price and semi industrial.

[@esteladelacruz8825]

[@foundbychance7777]

So I'm am really new to sewing and I'm curious why you choose woven interfacing over nonwoven? I don't think I have woven.

[@OklaRoots]

So I add a lightweight woven interfacing to quilt cotton material 99% of the time. It beefs up the quilt cotton and prevent stretching and fraying.

[@gristrejo9522]

Love it!!!!! well, I love all your tutorials!! If I want to increase the wide size, do I increase in the middle of the pattern or the sides? I love the small side, I just want it with more room inside. thank you!

[@carolinegilbert6939]

Jess, I absolutely LOVE your tutorials! I have made three Drawstring Project Bags from Kandou craft and I adore them. I am very excited by the Teloujay bag but find it a little bit intimidating for a beginner, especially with those rivets involved...but I will try my best! Question: I have read somewhere that to protect the cotton quilt fabric from getting dirty, it is a good idea to spray it with Scotch Gard. Have you tried it before? Is it something you would recommend? Many thanks and keep those tutorials coming!

[@OklaRoots]

I think Scotch Guard is a great idea! I've sprayed my furniture with it in the past and it has worked well. I haven't personally tried on bags, but I definitely will. Quilt cotton on the exterior is always a little risky with stains, but it's so much easier to work with than vinyl.
