I’m not done watching this and I already know I have to make this. Your instructions are perfect. Thank you so much!

[@alleynejoelle]

This is an EPIC tutorial! Will try to make this for my co-worker having a baby in just a couple weeks. You have such a soothing voice as well. Much gratitude to you. ♥

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Thanks. Have fun with your project ♥️

[@kimberlynichols194]

Amazing tutorial. I made a diaper bag for my sister's first baby, She thought it was a store bought bag because it looked so professional made! It's only due to your great tutorials!!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

So glad to hear that Kimberly :)❤️

[@ruthgray8720]

Great tutorial and pdf printout. I am very pleased with the end result. Thank you so much. ❤

[@rmartin8887]

OMG Yoan, you out did yourself on this bag!!! I love it so much. Thank you so much for making these videos. I never miss one and am always so excited to see when you post a new video.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

I'm glad you like the videos that I share. Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️

[@tammykelley6173]

Needed to make 2 diaper bags for my husband’s coworkers. Made a bag for myself as a practice to familiarize myself with the process. Love it! Perfect size. Thank you for this pattern and great instructions.

You're very welcome Gloria. Thank you for your kind words ❤️

Just finished making this lovely bag! The video was very helpful, and the bag turned out perfect. I added some studs to the bottom as well.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

So glad to hear that. Thank you for taking time to write :).

I wish there was a love button! Awesome tutorial and a beautiful bag!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Thanks Annette ❤️

[@kathrindoll6903]

Thanks for the pattern, I really needed one n didn't have to money to purchase thanks uuuuuuu

[@dawnmc3101]

I made this bag for myself. I just love it! I wanted to make a smaller version for a purse size, with the exterior pockets and especially those end pockets, to store sunglasses or reading glasses with easy access. Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to do the math to make it smaller. Perhaps one day you will make a bag like this in a smaller size. Thank you so much for sharing your talents, Yoan, you are so amazing!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Many thanks Dawn, this is one of my favorite... and I plan on making different versions in different sizes in the near future ;)❤️

[@eileendefrancis9124]

Great tutorial - very clear and specific! Love your calm voice and your attention to detail - thanks so much for the outstanding video instructions.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

You're very welcome Eileen :)

[@rlp0303]

Yoan you're so amazing! Thank you so much for this wonderful diaper bag tutorial. I've already made several of your bags following your clear instructions video tutorials. I'm currently working on this Diaper bag. It's a gift to my granddaughter who just had a baby girl. I chose Tula Pink Everglow Pink Elephant fabric and one of her coordinating fabric for the lining. I'm at the the part preparing the recessed zipper closure. I'm very happy at how the bag is coming out. Thanks to you because I am a visual learner and have difficulties following written instructions. I am very inspired by your awesome teaching techniques. May God bless you and wish you much success in your sewing career. I am a true follower. I always look forward to your amazing tutorials. ❤😘👍🙌🌹🙏💝

Thank you for the tutorial! I made it and it was a great learning experience. I used all quilting cotton and foam for the sides and bottom for support.

[@lynnetteautman454]

I made 3 bags Thank you so much your instructions was perfect

[@tamiroberts9304]

We’ll Miss Yoan…. Here I go again!!! You put out the most in-depth tutorials I have EVER come across!. So… today I will be starting this project. I completed your laptop bag for my college daughter and gave it to her this past Christmas. She fell in love with it and cried when she learned her mom made it. The process was quite intimidating for me but I just took my sweet time like you said in the video and it did turn out beautiful. I’m hoping I can pull off yet another one of your designs. Since we have to now in the US carry our own shopping bags I need a larger purse!. I just won’t use the adjustable strap part but only the purse handles. Thank you so very much for all you put out there for us avid sewers!.🥰❣️ I sure wish we could post /share our completed pictures of your designs.😥

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Many thanks for your lovely comment Tami, if you wish to share the pics of your creation, you can post on my facebook page, or email me (see the links in the video description ⬆️, or search "yoansewingstudio" on facebook or instagram.

[@solsonestopcreations3195]

Can you do a Honey Comb basket with 1 in the middle and 6 all around it with handle? Thank you for sharing your creations!!!

[@MariaWoodbridge]

Great instructions! EASY nice pattern! I didn´t make the side bags and came out really cool!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Glad to hear that Maria ♥️

[@dawnmc3101]

I love this. I’ve made so many of your projects and they all turn out great! I think I will try to make this smaller, and with a fabric lining, for a personal purse rather than a baby. Then those outside end pockets can be used to put sunglasses or reading glasses, etc.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Sounds great Dawn :)

[@kathrindoll6903]

Thanks for the video, I was looking for a great detailed video for a bag like this, either the audio was too low, r they didn't explain about the material that should be used, I had to keep asking questions n they won't even answer u. thank u so much, great video, I look forward to watching more from u.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Glad you like it. Have fun with your project ♥️

[@sutela2060]

Gorgeous bag❤️🙏

[@crunchypeanutbutter2771]

Very nice bag! The only thing I would change is the sewing order of the panels….1st sew each side panel to a main panel; 2nd sew long side of bottom panel to bottom of main panel; 3rd sew side bottom panel to each bottom side panels; 4th sew bottom of second main panel to long side of bottom panel; 5th sew second panel to side panels.

[@ritatilley5047]

I'm happy I have found you once again. I lost your name & website.

[@kathrindoll6903]

I feel like I got smarter watching this video over n over again, but am going to know am smarter, once I actually make it n show it off. Thank uuuuuu

[@YoanSewingStudio]

you're very welcome :)

[@alleynejoelle]

At about 13:05 you mention "burying the threads" but there's no demonstration and I've never heard of this. How is it done?

[@brendacann332]

Is there a tutorial for adding the bottom panel? Loving the bag but I just can't get the bottom panel to fit. Thanks

[@ireneking8183]

amazing I will make this for our local home for Mothers

[@YoanSewingStudio]

that's awesome. happy sewing!

[@rosac8168]

I live this I’m going to be auntie and wanted to try and make a diaper bag! can the straps be adjustable for crossbody?

[@micheleharrison5696]

I finished my bag. I had a really hard time with getting the inner and outer lining lined up properly but I finished it. Now I start another one. I'm sure this one will go better.

[@chryskramer]

This seems simple enough. I can make one for my trip this weekend. 2 evenings later I have my straps sewn.

[@barbarahunkeler6396]

I love this pattern! I have made almost every bag you've put on You Tube and love each and every one of them! I especially love this diaper bag because I personally love big roomy purses. I just finished making this bag and was going to give it as a gift, but I made a HUGE boo boo and my iron got too close to the side pocket vinyl and it ruined a small portion of it, is there any way to fix this error? I also want to say that you are the BEST teacher out there, you are so precise in your explanation, and I LOVE how you show each step or direct us to a video that shows it. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful creations with us!

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Many thanks Barbara, I'm not really sure how you can fix the the damage portion of the vinyl, you may try to add some kinda embellishment on it to cover it, such as rivets, decorative patches/ appliques (hand sew or glue it), beading, or hand sew some kind of fun embroidery stitches (e.g. satin stitch) .

[@barbarahunkeler6396]

@@YoanSewingStudio That's a great idea Yoan thank you!

[@kellygarrett3204]

Yoan,i have someone wanting this without the main zipper,but wants to add a flap like a messenger bag..Any suggesions,or advice on how to do that?

[@shonaghroberts4805]

The plu will not hold the snap for long. Top the plu side with fabric at the top where the snap is. I did 4 inches.

Finished a 2d bag, was a lot easier. Bag is on its way to Singapore. Hope my daughter-in-law likes it. Will follow you on Facebook. Thanks.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Happy to hear that Michele ❤️

[@kathrindoll6903]

How do u get the facing to stick on the material, is it a iron on? I don't think we should sew it on right?

[@marthahumphrey3849]

Can a more structured interfacing be used for a firmer bag?

[@moonsol75]

Are you installing the rivets by hand or do you have a machine?

[@janetm356]

Hi, Yoan. I love this and will make it to use on my home nursing visits. Can you clarify which side is right side of PUL? Thanks.

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Hi Janet, the right side of pul fabric is usually the shiny/glossy side, happy sewing.

[@micheleharrison5696]

Yoan, I really like the bag and am making it for my daughter-in-law. The steps in the video are fairly straight forward but when I got to the interrail zipper pocket (piece K) I couldn't figure out what to do with the second piece. Do I put them together for a stronger pocket or did I miss something? Please help this is my first time following a pattern. Thank you

[@YoanSewingStudio]

Sorry i'm just seeing this Michelle, but I don't see any second piece in the pattern, you only need to cut 1 pocket piece, and follow the instructions at 20:43

[@micheleharrison5696]

@@YoanSewingStudio I looked more carefully at the pattern and saw what you were talking about; my bad! This is why I decided to make a "practice bag" before I tackled the real one. Almost done, having trouble with the bottom of the lining. Thanks.

[@marthahumphrey3849]

How much yardage is used for exterior?

[@kadashartbags.2019]

Hi Yoan, I'm from Brazil and like so much your job, But I have difficult to understand inches measures. Wouldn't U use centimeters in patterns? Because I'm initialinzing in sewing, and don't have a patchwork rullers of inches
