As a seasoned bag maker who has been out of the game for about 3 years, I loved this video. I really think you did cover everything. I wish you were around when I started. Of course, I started by accident really, then I fell in love with it, my mom and dad fully supported me, even paid full price for custom items, or so they thought anyway. Lol I only charged them materials. After all, they bought me my Janome machine and she was able to go thru 10 layers of denim, then when I worked with heavy leather or vinyl, I had started acquiring some beautiful vintage sewing machines and because they had all metal gears inside of them, they were able to handle anything that would fit under the presser foot. Lol When my dad passed, I made myself a bag to take with me on the plane when I went back for a memorial 2 months later, that was the last bag I made. Then we were house hunting and bought a house and the next summer our basement had a sewer back up, thankfully all of my machines were off the ground, but everything has been in disarray and I get so overwhelmed every time I go down there. So, I have just been slowly putting together my space. We have the shelves now, I have the tables, just waiting on my cutting table to get here. I have my ironing station set up and I need 2 more power strips and the hangers for those and I think I will be set to start going again. I'm trying.

This just came up I my feed. Very interesting. I made myself a bag from upholstery material that I had. Cotton lining. Love that I can throw it in the washer when necessary. Used my old Riccar machine to sew it. It's a real workhorse and sewed thru many layers, as long as I went slowly. No rivets or zippers. I would like to try my hand at making something fancier and more professional but I'm locked into something else at the moment. My crafty brain wants to go in too many directions.

Great video. Informative and straight to the point. None of the silly “When my grandfather was a boy” stories. Extremely helpful. Best of luck! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!

This is really good information for beginners like me. Thank you 👍😁

Your video is a perfect fit for everyone. Beginner to advance. I have been sewing for many years and have learned from my mistakes to become a better designer. This video will help solve difficult issues with fabric, tools etc. Thank you for making this video and highly recommend to anyone interested in making bags. Thanks again.

This tutorial is gold!

Love how detailed when you lay out all the tools, describing and show how to use them. Can you share how much space we need to keep a small workdesk like this with all the tools? Thank you.

I am so grateful this showed in my feed. You have wonderful tips. Thank you for sharing 🌼🦋

Great video!

Awesome! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am transitioning from cotton fabric bags to vinyl bags! Time for a new sewing machine!

Great video. Thanks for the information!

Excellent info for beginners! Thank you for this very detailed video.

Thank you so very much. You have given me all the tools I need to decide if this is for me. Very informative. Again thank you.

Super!🙏 Thank you for being so kind and for sharing your experience! You definitely explained it in a way that I and probably other beginners needed it👏

This is a very comprehensive video. I can't wait to start making handbags. Thank you for sharing about the supplies needed.

Aww, best little video I’ve watched today. Thank you and blessings.

So useful. Thank you!

Lovely tutorial. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

Very informative. Thank you.

You explain this so easy. Thank you

Thank you, this is very helpful. I wish you had gone into more detail about the correct threads to use and why. It would also be helpful for information on what kinds of bags you can make with a non-industrial machine so newbies can get in some easy practice and it will also help us decide if we want to splurge on an industrial machine if the we don’t necessarily plan on starting a business making bags. Thank you again!

Great tutorial!

I am so excited to find your channel which is a great video for all detail demonstrations. I learn so much about different tools , it is not the tutorial of making bags but also is the useful and unusual video. . I definitely subscribe your channel by now. Thank you for sharing !

Thank u for sharing, been helpful

I love your videos!! I have been sewing many years but just started making bags a year ago. Your video reinforced that I am on the right track w/materials, etc. I even bought a Baby Lock Accomplish since it is semi-industrial & mobile! I bought a couple of your patterns when I first started, just haven't got around to making them yet, but after watching your videos I will make it a priority to complete them! Thanks for taking the time to make your videos!

Good point on the glasses! I’ve broken many needles and keep glasses handy ☺️

Oh wow. As a teenager, I used to make my own bags. Here i am 69 years old and want to start 6 bags again. I am a painter, so I could use my art as purse enhancements😊

I’ve made bags for myself and friends since I was was in high school in the sixties. I used a regular home machine for years but finally got an industrial machine. I also make clothing mostly for myself. One time my hairdresser told me a customer of hers who worked for a furniture manufacturer had a bunch of scraps she wanted to get rid of. We went over and holy moly her two car garage was packed. I had an old 70’s model Buick with a huge trunk that I filled up. I made sooooo many bags.

Good! I'm considering bag making very informative.

Oh my GOODNESS, SO HELPFUL!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such an informative video. Your style is very encouraging - you are demystifying this whole bag-making thing for this beginner bag maker!!

I am new and u r so inspiring❤...thank you for introducing all these things. I learnt a lot!

Thanks for the tutorial... I'm planning to makes bags when I stop working and just stay home..so I'm not gonna be bored....

This was great. So informative. Thank you so much. If possible, can you make a video like this (materials and whatnot) specifically on making leather bags?

Why am I just now seeing this masterpiece? And where were you when I was starting out? Thank you for this very informative video!!! Very well done. 👏 👏👏👏

Great!

Thanks for a great 👍 informative video. Cape Town ❤️

I have enjoyed your tutorial and hope to see you make mini keychain purses. Just right for storing a pair of new ear rings that are hurting your ears and you need a brake from them. 😀 I always get caught off out of town and realize I need to give my ears a break. These little mini keychain bags are perfect to keep tiny treasures in. Can't wait to see what you do next.❤

I really enjoy watching this video it's teach me a lots

Thank you Madam for your clear description of various materials & tools involved in sewing different kinds of bags.How to prepare rexine wallets,pouches & shoulder bags with piping? May we expect them in your future vid

I have the same Juki. I love this machine. It will sew just about anything. I just made wheel covers for our motorhome. Heavy material. I also made a spare tire cover for the Jeep out of vinyl, with a welt. 4 layers of vinyl. Great little machine. I started quilting with it. I have a long arm, now, but still use the Juki for piecing. I also have an industrial Brother, but I prefer this machine. I have made a couple bags, but it’s been a while. So thinking about doing some more. Thanks for this video.

Hi Bonny! I just watched 2 of your videos. I am in Nassau, and I believe you in Abaco. I have made bags befor but need to imptove. Great vidros.

You are really good 💪💪 I appreciate your lecture 💐

Very interesting and very informative 😊

Good and profound

Lovely

A lot of good information. I like how you separated the video into the things that are necessary from the things that are nice to have.

Very informative. Thank you. Chauntelle

Thank you so much

Awesome

Whats the brand of Rivet setter you showed? Spray painted with outdoor metal paint? Thanks for sharing advice.

Thanks

Super helpful video. Are you able to share some options for good suppliers of the hardware ?

I made two bags, sewing them by hand and using magnetic closures and zipper. I use cotton fabric bc I like the option to throw the bag in the wash machine. TY.

very informative

Great info

Wow! such great tips! Does your rivet setting machine also set snaps? (Love the bright pink color)

Thanks for this video, it's really educating. What advice do have a beginners who use hammer ?

Nice

Hi Unni! What is the weight of the waterproof canvas you use for linings? I never know which one to get for lining small bags and pouches. Thanks so much! I've purchased some of your patterns and so happy you have video tutorials for them!

I sew small paces with needles it helps me a lot but the one problem I don't have a machine even if I get someone from overseas to help l don't mind coz I love sewing small bags💕.

Just came across your video. I love it. Where can I get the machine from along with the dyes?

Love your video, May I ask where you buy your cork fabric?

Does the foam interfacing fail, crumble, or get stiff over the years?
