I made dozens of your Paradigm Crossbody Bags as gifts and for sale - from your original tutorial. I enjoyed the sounds of the cork slapping against the table or sewing machine bed.🤩 It is very satisfying. I would have loved to have owned the templates two years ago when I was making so many of them!! I really like your changes too; double sided tape and the D-rings although I don't mind using the glue. I have used your special techniques with all the bags I have made; L shape at the birthing hole and smaller larger lining seam allowances, etc. Before I invested in cork, I made myself a fabric version and I have used it daily since. I'm still using it and it has held up so well. I added card slots in the lining to the ones I made to sell and give away but I still use the little cork card holder that you make. It is a solid wonderful pattern. I sold every single one I made!! Thanks for sharing photos of you and your sweet Grandma. She looks like a wonderful encouraging person. You can see in her eyes how proud she is of you!

So sorry for your loss. Thanks so much for this video. I have the same machine as yours but have yet to make a bag on it. Would you use the same thread and needle as you've used here on cork if you were making it with vinyl? Also, I'm the same as you when it comes to throwing things around and being super noisy all the time. My husband tells me it's because I do everything at 90 miles an hour!

[@SewGnar]

Thank you. I don’t usually sew vinyl but the couple times I have, I’ve used the same thread and needles!

[@valeriegray3967]

I curious why do you use decovil light for pocket linings instead v woven interfacing? Also sorry for your loss.

[@SewGnar]

I prefer the structure!

[@tarahthornton-mz2hy]

I know you said a size 18 needle, but what kind of needle? I have tl18 and I am having the worst time with DST

[@SewGnar]

[@tarahthornton-mz2hy]

[@SewGnar]
