dude, you should start a full fledge channel about bag making. I'd be all about it!

Wow! Thanks, Steve! I've been hand-drafting gig bag patterns (and more recently, "regular" bags) for 6 years and am just now starting to teach bagmaking and trying to learn how to do my designs in Illustrator!! So helpful!

Absolutely bloomin’ freakin TASTIC! Thank you SEW much from the depths of my being! I am LOVING Illustrator and will be pumping out all my sewing patterns now! Woohooo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awesome! I had saved this video two years ago and only just now watching it! Had I watched it two years ago I wouldn't have had a clue what you were talking about but now that I'm familiar with Illustrator it all made perfect sense - great tip on how to measure that gusset panel!

This is awesome. Thanks. I’d love to see a part two where you do the cut and sew.

wow, a professional approach well explained. Thanks Stephen

Thanks Steve, you’re an absolute asset.

Thank you so much! So smooth, direct to the point, simple and clear explanations. Waiting for more :)

Such great information ! I just started to get into making my own patterns and this has help so much !! would love to see more !!

Awesome man, I'm in teaching for 10 years, before that i was a designer, just now i thought why dont we create tailoring pattern in illustrator and find you. really awesome work.

Awesome video! This has helped a lot moving my hand drafted patterns to digital. Thanks for the great tutorial

Did this is awesome. I've been wanting to get into pattern design for leather work and this is exactly what I was looking for. It also takes some fo the mystery out of how the current bag templates I buy line up the curves to the exactly lengths they need to be. Thanks for this video!

I just wanted to say I really liked your video. I do leatherworking and your tips and tricks for adobe illustrator were a great help to me.

I'd love to see the rest of the process! Like everything from cutting it out, pasting it on his manilla, and then fabric layout and actually sewing it!

You are a legend Steve. Thank you so much for this. Subscribing to your channel.

I was sewing bags too and making my patterns with corel draw (i have illustrator but corel much easier to me). I was having hard time making the length of the pieces with curved corners. you saved my day. thank you so so much.

Thank you for posting, learned something from this and you did a great job explaining.

This is SO amazing and awesome work,

thanks bro for this easy to understand tutorial..you really make my day hahahaha i be scrolling all around for tutorial like this

I really enjoyed this thanks. I use many of the same align/distribute commands for distributing graphics on geologic maps, cool! I just started making small pouches and bags but the goal someday is to be able to make backpacks for me and my kids.

Great video Steve.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you! I bought your udemy backpack course and finished watching. Just need to make one. I'll share once I'm done. 👌🤓

Great tutorial!

Thank you sir you’re great Love you from Bangladesh

I needed this

Love this video, can you tell me what type of workspace setting this is as I do t seem to have the same layout as you ie with the appearance tab etc...

Great video! Thank you so much! I feel I can do this now (-:

Great video! I'd love to see how you could take a semi-complicated bag, measure it and then create a template to recreate it yourself!

Mehn Bro... This is great... I really appreciate the time you Put in for this vidoe, making a master class tutorial.... Good Job bro... Again.... Highly appreciative

Nice project

Fantastic video explanation!

Hi Steve great tutorial. I am new to leather work and not even made my own pattern yet. I am busy looking around what program to use - Adobe, CAD or i see some guys use Sketchup. I take it that you would recommend Adobe? I do so little design work, i am actually looking for a free download. Many thanks, keep up the good work

This is SO amazing, I have never seen anyone use Illustrator this way. THANK YOU STEVE

Thanks so much. God bless

I can’t thank you enough!!!

Thank you for the informative video!! I would like to ask you . How do you know the measurement is accurate and fit well to sew a bag???

Really enjoyed your tutorial! Thank you. One downside, I can hear you swallow every time *tears* lol Happy I stumbled across this! **Dances**

bravo - from serbia

Loved the video! I hope illustrator for ipad gets to this level!

Hi. I was wondering if you used a book on Adobe illustrator, because I would like to get it, or if you just played around with the different functions because you make it look so easy!!! When it most likely is not. Thank you so much.

I love how honest you are

Hi Steve, thanks for the tutorial. What does it take for you to make my patterns for me?

Wondering if you've used Rhino 6 for Windows for designing and pattern making? If so what do you think of it?

First i want to say thank you very much for your video so i am just starting to learn about this stuff. as i know a litte bit Illustrator. I wonder how to print the pattern out with exactly the size like i want to, a bit stupid but yeah i absolutely have no know idea but yes will be lovely if you can make a video to show us, like how to prin from a letter and print out the body size so we can sew it :v thank you so much Admire from Vietnam

Hey thanks heaps for this, whilst i don't have Adobe i do have Inkscape somewhat different but makes the work flow and design process make sense...👍

What type of glue do you use to paste the printed pattern to the pattern paper?

Hi, great video! Loved it! I have a question though regarding the bottom side and pocket panels. Shouldn’t the padding be on the pocket panel since the bottom side panel will cover it? Rather than having the padding on the outer layer ? Thanks

Damn good looking guy!

Dude.... you just fucking changed my life with that line length info box........ what..... the.... heck!

you are a god

How do you figure out the size to tell Kinko? This is an awesome video, thank you so much.

Excellent video. A question: And if I want to make sewing stitches, to sew by hand, as I do to make them fit perfectly hole by hole. The top side panel, with the back panel and the front panel? It can?

Fabulous and very helpful. One question, probably a stupid one. Does the printer on the other end know from the file the size to make the print?

great¨

Which software is best for bag design clo or marvelous designer or optitex.

Super helpful tutorial. What glue to do you use to paste the printed pattern to the pattern manila?

Can you please sell me a detailed video on which tools to use?? I need to start making my own patterns. But I need to learn the tools clearly. Let me know how to contact you. Another thing is that I need to hand draft and then sharpen them in illustrator.

Hi Stephen, I am looking to hire someone who can create a pattern for me for a medical bag. I have a specific one in mind. Do you do anything like that, and if so what would be the charge? Or if you don't, do you have any suggestions to lead me in the right direction? Thank you so much!

I used to be a designer for peakdesign and ultraspire

😍😍😍

Great video! Does illustrator work with cm and mm too?

Hello Steve. This is so helpful for me. I have been looking everywhere on how to make bag patterns on AI. THANK YOU! My only question is how to make it into the size of A4 so my customers can print it at their home printer? I did see your video on how to print at home but Id like to know how to do that on AI. AGAIN, THANK YOU!!

I have a question... I need someone to make a digital pattern to get a sample made. but my production place is saying it'll be 200-300 bucks just for the pattern alone. how can i work around this? i obviously need but i thought i could outsource this smaller task to someone else. but finding people who make digital patterns is actually quite difficult, which im surprised by. anyone got a clue?

hope you can share with us the final bag of this pattern :)

stephen how do you add the pricking iron marks. i use a 4mm pricking iron and would like to add it on the pattern.

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo, pouvez vous expliquer la marche à suivre pour imprimer ce PDF en A4 , sans perte d'information ?

interesting

Great video. It's weird to hear you swallowing. Great video.

I really believe this is a great video, but after 8 minutes and all those swallowing sound I had to stop.

Mouth noises!
