Jess, saw a boxy bag tutorial after stumbling onto your channel. The result, I now sew! Needed everything. Machine, notions, thread, embroidery capabilities of corse and fabric! My wallet isn’t happy, but my soul is. Thank you!

Congratulations!! Good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone and jumping into a project !! My mom started teaching me to sew when I was 4 , but for years didn't have time. My mom bought me the singer quantum 9960 .Still learning , went shopping today for more supplies 😁 vinyl, material , zippers so excited ,I'm all set !! Have fun !!!

As I'm watching this, it would be great as waxed canvas, and the straps are masculine enough in my opinion. I'd say use either leather, vinyl, or even cotton webbing. This is so gorgeous...

@kaitlynnmorse457 3 жыл бұрын

I just finished my first one of these. I love your videos and I tend to use them more than the pattern instructions, This bag kicked my butt!!!!! Every step of the way it fought me from the rolled handles ( after 2 rounds of unpicking I gave up and did flat handles, which I don't like on this bag), to the sewing it all together and then we won't even talk about the binding. I will not do another one without waterproof canvas for the binding. I would have been better off hand sewing the binding on. And the worst part of it all is that I really don't like the bag. I love the way yours came out and I thought it would be super cute but I just really don't like the fabric choices I made. Maybe someone else will like it.
