The perfect little backpack! Making the Nathalie by Shamballa!

[@SewFun]

I love that you break down the costs. I hope non-bag makers understand that a cost breakdown also assumes that you take into account all the hidden costs, your tools, your expertise, your time. I know those of us who make bags understand that even if it costs $26 worth of materials, that's not the true cost of the bag.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi Teresa! Thanks for watching! Yes, that cost breakdown is definitely for us bagmakers. Just a little foundation to give an idea of material cost to perhaps help determine what we actually sell it for (which is when we take into consideration all you mentioned; the hidden costs) 😉

[@artlife4me2]

I love that you provided a cost breakdown in your description! That is extremely helpful!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi Heather! Happy to help! Thanks for stopping by :-)

[@sloppyjoe3617]

I also love that you include cost breakdown. I live in Canada, so, depending on where I sourced the materials I have to add exchange, shipping and duties to that cost. I also use leather rather than vinyl so cost goes up. I choose not to use vinyl because it's unsustainable and not eco-friendly. Adding the hidden costs results in an almost unaffordable bag! In all honesty, I just enjoy making bags so I'm happy if I get back the cost to make the bag plus a little profit. Enjoying your content!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi! Canada? Nice! I definitely get shipping. I get my hardware from there & I pay about $26 every time I order. Thanks for stopping by my channel. Happy sewing!

[@deborahperez2487]

Love this bag, and love your tutorial style! You're so fun!!!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi Mymi! Thank you so much, and thank you for checking out my channel!

[@rhondathiessen350]

I’m so glad you’ve done this video on this backpack bag as I have to make one for my good friends daughter. I’m going to follow your video.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

So happy I could be of help! Thank you for watching!

[@barbaraward254]

Too cute 🥰 and great video even with the blips, thanks for leaving them in. Now how about one of your fun videos using the rivet press. Xx

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thank you for stopping by! I'll hang to add that to my list of future tutorials!

[@LAKatKreations]

You had me at animal print! Great job on your tutorial; very inspirational, and I love your personality. I also love the “poster” cues for each step.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

lol I strongly believe you can never go wrong with a outfit or purse if you include a little bit of animal print. Thank you for watching. Yes, I try to think of what would help me when I watch other videos, and I felt having some instructions is writing is easier because you can just pause it and have all the info there... But anywho, thank you for stopping by! Don't forget to like and subscribe.

[@LAKatKreations]

Agree, and continued success!

[@frankiehorstman6519]

Just love your bubbly personality! Great video!

[@LuvLolaLooks]

lol Thank you so much!!

[@jwatkins79]

I also use rubber cement - especially on straps when I'm working with stubborn vinyl. It's good stuff.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Yes, I love that stuff!

[@MelissaH05]

I'll have to give it a try!

[@Jessica-li2hm]

Super cute video! I’m not really a backpack person and I’m new to handbag making but this little gem is giving me an edge to maybe try it! I love the detail explanation and how you manage the little bloopers and give remedy on how to fix and avoid. You are absolutely adorable and I’m glad I found you!💯🎯🔥💕👜🧵

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Nancy, welcome to my channel, and thank you so much for stopping by! I'm the same, not really a backpack person either ( I prefer a crossbody), but I can see me wearing this for outings out with my little one so I can carry a little more. And you should totally make this bag! Don't forget to like and follow! Happy sewing!

I want to make one in pink. Don’t know why, but I see this in pink. 😂

Lol do ittttttttttt!

[@ElleMH]

Your version of the Nathalie Bag is my favorite. Love it ♥️ Where did you get the webbing for your straps? They look so good on the bag.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thanks so much! I got those from Emmaline's Bag & Hardware. I posted a link to their site in the description box. I'm always looking for webbing. Do you have a vendor you like? And thanks for watching! Don't forget to like & subscribe 🙏🏽❤

[@ElleMH]

I do not have a favorite place for hardware, but I wish I did. I just shop all over looking for specific items. It’s a huge waste of time.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

@@ElleMH I know! It can get overwhelming. I'm thinking about starting to order stuff in bulk from alibaba

[@ChillinwithToya]

Another great one!!! Do you mine me asking where did you get your tag done ?

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thanks for watching! I actually order those from Emmaline's Bags. I have the link in my description box.

[@ChillinwithToya]

@@LuvLolaLooks thank you I will check her out . Love the bag !!

What brand is your heat press? I’m considering getting one. Love your cost breakdown!

Hi Renate. It's a Royal Press Combo heating machine. I just added the link in the description box. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe!

[@frankiehorstman6519]

Totally unrelated to this bag, but was wondering what type of chair you use at your cylinder arm machine. I just got one & need a good chair. It’s much taller than my flatbed 1541.

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Hi Frankie, I found this chair at my local Home Goods

[@cythcy]

Beautiful work as ALWAYS. what sewing machine are you using?

[@LuvLolaLooks]

Thanks! YAMATA 1341 Cylinder arm

Amazon. I put the brand name in the description box.
