Thank you for you feedback, glad you are enjoying our project videos!

Well said 🤣 I feel like they slap the word y'all onto everything more than we say G'day.

Sorry but I can’t watch this with the unnecessary (and annoying) music playing, it’s very annoying having to mute the whole video to watch it. Can’t give it a thumbs up because of that. I’m sure it would have been a great video otherwise

@lindalin5587 Thank you for watching our video and your wonderful feedback.

We love to hear we have helped people be creative! Enjoy and happy stitching!

Great job! Thank you for your feedback :)

@KinikiMc That's fantastic!

Have you made the bags bigger? Or without the tabs on the zippers?

Glad you enjoyed it!

@sonallaxman8954 Thank you for watching! Great to hear you loved the bag :)

You’re welcome 😊

@sam27ellsmere Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!

@tanyapalmer8130 Thank you for watching and your feedback, we appreciate it!

@suewalsh4216 That's a great idea! Thank you for your lovely feedback!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for your feedback :)

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Flynn thanks for your questions. We are always creating new tutorials, and they are released regularly so make sure you have subscribed to our KZfaq Channel to be notified when they are available. It is unlikely we will complete any hand projects as we specialise in machine and embroidery stitching and for us creating with our machines is like hand-sewing to you! Thanks again for the questions, and don't forget to subscribe to our Channel.

You are so welcome!

Sounds great!

How did that go? I'm thinking about doing the same.

@beakittelscherz5419 Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you watching.

Hope you enjoyed making the mini duffle bag :)

Thanks!

You would have to rework out dimensions, but yes it would be good to use as a gym bag!

Absolutely! Thanks for your feeback.

@DavidLopez-tf4bn Great question! If you know you are going to sew again over the seam you do not have to do a reverse stitch. If it is in an area of high use, a reverse stitch ties off and gives strength.

For parts of the construction yes, for the final construction Rylee is doing a 5/8" seam allowance :)

@wazblind The straps would move but it would be up to you where you feel it would be comfortable - it looks to be a ratio of 1:4 in how the straps are placed on the mini duffle bag.

Great tip! Thanks @nwmi493

@kyliekassan5988 Our apologies - it looks like Rylee used a 2" x 2" square. Folded the 1/4" in on opposite sides. Thank you for pointing it out to us.

That's ok. I thought I was going crazy 😊 Thanks.

This ensures that you don't miss a layer of seam as you are constructing the item. It is a standard dressmaking seam to be 1.5cm wide :)

@racergirl9580 It is approximately 15" x 7.5" x 7.5" in size.

@@EchidnaClub Thank you! It’s a perfect size for what I need.

@racergirl9580 Very welcome!

@darlenefredrick8444 Hi there, I would recommend checking your measurements you cut to. It can also be the material you have used so it is important to pin each end first then the centre and then ease and pin the remainder of the sides. Hopefully this will help you.

I did consider it may be the material. The bag turned out quite well considering it's the first one I made. No one will notice the little pucker on the one corner ;) I'm making another and will check measurements more carefully. Thanks so much for this great tutorial! @@EchidnaClub

@midnightsunicorn Yes you can use cotton, you could stiffen it slightly with our Shape to Create Woven Interfacing: www.echidnasewing.com.au/shape-to-create-fusible-woven-interfacing-per-metr You can also put battilizer in to also help support as well.

Yes calico will work fine :) Have fun sewing :)

Hello - here are the measurements 13" x 7.5" x 6.5"! Have fun making this project

Never mind. I figured it out thank you.

Hi Cindy, You just need to go ahead and attach the side pieces to your front pieces of your lining (minus the pockets). So repeat the steps from 24:18 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icqRja6hvtLdfGQ.html

Hi MaryEllen - are you referring to the strap placement? And the size of the pocket? If you are, you could alter the pocket piece to be slightly wider. It depends on how big you are actually going to upsize the bag.

@@EchidnaClub the strap placement. The 5” from the top and bottom on a larger bag aren’t going to line up correctly. How did you determine the 5” mark based on the other bag measurements.

Hi MaryEllen - here is what is suggested on our webpage for this project "if you wish to make your duffel bag larger, simply make the biggest number measurement of your fabric (in this case it’s 15"/40cm) as big as you want, then halve that number for the remaining pieces. For example, if you wanted to make a 60cm bag, your side pieces would be 30cm x 30cm and so on and so forth. Your straps should remain the same size, if anything you can make them a little longer. Your zip tabs should also stay the same size regardless of bag size (your zip size will change with your bag)." I shall include the link here also, hopefully this clarifies the size up? www.echidnasewing.com.au/project/sewing-embroidery-projects/mini-duffel-bag/

At the 11:45 mark of the video Rylee goes through where to place the straps.

It is a nylon zipper :)

At what step are you catching the lining in the stitching?

Thank you for your feedback.

We appreciate your feedback. If you have had issues with it, we are happy to help you resolve them.

Agreed. Mine was done so much better without the zip foot.
