Tha k you Jess! Your videos are so therapeutic for me. My 5 year old son adores you as well! I sat down after a really rough day to watch the video and he came flying through the house asking if I was watching the "bag lady" without him 😂

Love your bracelet! It caught my attention and I couldn’t listen because I was so distracted and I had to restart the video so I could pay proper attention. You’re so cute! Love your videos!

I have watch your videos in the past but this is the first time I decided to jump in a get the pattern. I hope with your direction I'll be able to make this bag. I am a quilter so I hope that will prove to be a plus for me..

I have made this bag several times, and I do exactly what you talked about with the front zippers - one long piece with 2 zipper pulls from each end. Not only is it faster, you don’t have to worry about the zipper tape being uneven and looking bad.

Thanks so much for the interfacing part. It really helped!

I LOVE the material!!! I grew up on those shows!! You need to come to Indiana! There is a place called Santa Claus Indiana, it has a great theme park and a very Christmas themed town, you would love it!! I live less than an hour away..its no Disney but we can show you some Hoosier courtesy!! After the pandemic of course!!!

"Oh, this would be a Disney Christmas Cruise bag! Yes!" 😂 That was the best reaction to an idea I've seen in a while! Love it!!! ❤ Thank you so much for doing this video. You inspire me. 😊

I have made both sizes. I was amazed at the size difference between them! Such a great pattern and bag!

Honestly couldn't have finished this bag without your amazingly easy to follow tutorials. Thank you so much! I love this bag!

Jess, I just have to say this. You are such a likable person! You feel so genuine in your videos and Iv watched so many but have yet to actually make a bag 😂 I don't even use bags but I have many family members that do that I know I'll love to make gifts for.

Love your tutorials! You are concise, your instructions with hints and suggestions make so much sense. I have been making bags for several years, but am learning so much from you. Thank you!

You pick the best colour combinations!! Thanks for your videos

“If you want to sew dangerously...” LOVE it 🤩😂

Thank you for doing this tote, No way I would even attempt this one without your tutorial!! I appreciate what you do for us! ❤️ 🤗

I did not expect those front zippers to be attached like that, I learn so much from these videos

Your enthusiasm is so infectious! You’re lovely! X

I’m a new one lol love the way you communicate. Very professional

I love your videos. Even if I don’t wanna make it I do time you are done because I just love your enthusiasm. We need more people like you. You are just crazy sweet!

Both bags are SO beautiful!! You always make it look so possible. Thank you for sharing 💖😊🎄

I didn't need to read the directions. I followed you the whole way through. I love it! Thank you, you made it so much easier

I’m adding another bag to my ever growing list. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

Woop woop I bought this pattern as soon as you announced that you were going to make it. Spent today cutting out enough fabrics to make the handbag size. Thats tomorrow's sewing job...thank you for another wonderful tutorial

I bought this pattern a couple of months ago. I am so glad you made this video. I am so excited about. Thank you!!

I have to stop watching you, you’re addictive. And I don’t believe there is a cure.

Yay!! 🤗 Jess, I so be wanting to make this bag, soo pretty. U do a great job on the rounded corners. I do struggle with that, I am getting better at it. Now after seeing you I feel more confident. Thanks for the tips 🤗

I bought this pattern months ago and was hoping you would show us how. yeah. after watching this definitely the purse size since i’m 5’ tall. loved the video. thank you,

I bought some cheap vinyl from Joanne’s for this bag. I haven’t seen with vinyl before so I made then NCW with it first so I knew what I was getting into. I had to throw the first one away 😂 the second one is much better. Now I feel somewhat comfortable starting this bag

Yay! I already have this pattern in my library but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for sewing this bag! I love all of your videos and you are such an AMAZING teacher!!

OMG you’re such a good teacher! I’ve made several of “your” bags, and I think I’m confident enough to try this one during the holidays brake. Thank you for all these tutorials! Have a happy Christmas!

I love using Cotton Lycra on bags. The prints & colors look so much more vibrant on CL then it does on CW & plus CL is a little thicker, then add Woven fuse to it, it has a nice weight & adding DL to the panels, it just makes the bags feel more professionally done & feel more lux. It’s a little more work sometimes using it (like cutting it and before fusing it to WF) but it’s so worth it.

You are such an amazing teacher Jess, I decided to make 5 of these at one time for my store and after I cut everything out I said, what the heck have I got myself into lololololol But actually I was able to get all of the linings done in one day and hopefully the fronts and backs put together today. The way you teach and the way you put everything together just makes it so easy to follow these patterns. Thank you for teaching me so much this past year! I did the wallet I mentioned in another video comment and as I went through each step it instantly popped in my head how you would do it and I didn't realize how much I had learned from you, so thank you!

Thank you for doing time stamps! So helpful in answering the details I forget to write down the first time through!

Jess I am addicted to your videos. You explain everything so well and your advice is so welcome. Your time stamps are such a great idea! I will be making the handbag for me and I will make the tote size with some adjustments to make it a document bag for my daughter to transport legal size files from work. They will be so gorgeous, I can visualize them so easily !! haha Thank you Jess for being there for us!

I would wanna do a second pocket the same as the front has those zippers and pockets. Only without a zipper.

I have already made the Divina Tote and I just love it!

Love this bag. I’m going to make 2 of these for my 2 granddaughters. ❤️❤️❤️

Love this bag! I have been wanting to make it for a little while now thank you for the video and I absolutely love your bracelet😊

“But if you see dangerously, you can follow me”. 😂😂🤣 so funny. I to sew dangerously lol 😂

Love your tutorial and bag, and your bracelet is gorgeous!

I love love the bag you made and your demo was so goood and now it makes me want to start on this bag right away. I've had this pattern from Bagstock for a year now . LOL

Yes yes yes!!!!! I've had this cut out for a while but haven't been brave enough to try it

I purchased fabric from Spoonflower months ago and have been waiting for the right project to use it on. This is IT! I've watched the video twice, once straight up, the other with a glass of wine. I guess all that's left is to go for it. All my Christmas sewing done and in the mail so this is All For ME! It will be my first "big bag project". I've pretty much become an advanced beginner on the peek a boo, sunshine crossbody, boxy bag and hand sanitizers. Can't wait... going to take my time and enjoy the journey!

Yay!!! I can’t wait to make this!

Thanks! The application of the zipper stop was very informative. Just what I've been looking for ❤️

wow i love this bag i love all your tutorials they are really explained from start to finish its just beautiful x

i love this bag. I would do the back like the front and make zipper pockets. two extra pockets!

Thank you for such an informative tutorial. I was struggling with just such a zip in my bags. Now I have learned the tricks. Love the tutorial!

Great job Jess! My hands were working with you turning that bag. Think I’ll try cotton for the first one.

Love, love, love 💘. I'd made the smaller one earlier this year, now I have to make the tote size. Looks like my daughter's are getting bags for presents

Adorable.. both you snd the bag. What seems so overwhelming is explained so well.. it gives me confidence!!! I will be challenging myself to make this.. ( quilt cotton.. first try) thanks for the tips!!!

I really like this bag. I have been wanting the pattern for a while.

I seriously love your tutorials. You’re my first go to person for any pattern I want to do! And you usually have a tutorial for every bag I have wanted to do! But now I’m on the the apothecary by sincerely Jen, and I was sad to see you haven’t done it yet 😢 if you need any requests (as if 😂) I’d love to see that one done by you!

Jess, watching your videos is what got me into making bags!! I would really love to see you do a blue calla Trillium Tote tutorial.

What a adorable and cute Christmasbag - I love it❣️Thanks for your tutorial ❣️❣️

Thanks for the tip! I needed those strap connectors for a bag that came without the long strap.😍

Yippee skippy. Thank you Jess for your tutorials. Amazing! Merry Christmas to you and your family❤️❤️. Hi mom! Happy 2021.

Loved the bag. Your explanations are fabulous. I'll definitely start with quilting cotton.

I made one of your bags and everyone loves it. Wish I could send you a picture.

Great bag! Thanks for showing us!

I love your style Jess , But Omg I’m cracking up over here trying to figure out what’s? what? With your white lining. HA! HA! I got this!

Thanks for the tip about CL. I think I’ve been having issues bc I’m not using enough steam to interface.

Thank you so much. I just finished this tote and I love it. I have a few mistakes in the bag but only I know where they are. I love all your videos.

great tutorial Jess, beautiful bag, instead of doing two seperate zippers on the front, I did one long zip with two zip pulls , same results , you wouldnt know the difference, Have a lovely Christmas

Awesome bag

Just hit mine today. Such beautiful colors.

I was thinking the same thing, one long zipper. Fantastic bag.

Did you add two rows of stitching on the top finishing? I couldn't tell. Thanks.

Love your fabric choices

I have that pen from moremeknow love it !!

I'm so happy you did this pattern when bag stock had their sale i got this the mia wallet and the flair cross body. I am a very non confident beginnerish lmao i have about 5 bags under my belt and a few pouches so i'm newish. I can't wait to make this but i have other sewing gifts to do first. my pattern is cut my material is bought now to get the rest done! yay thank you for the video i can't wait to dive into this and i loveeee your color choices i need some of that water proof canvas. maybe stimulus santa will still show up and i can splurge on a few materials. maybe you can do the mia wallet next or when you get the chance some time after the holidays! Merry Christmas Jess!

Ok Jess you convinced me! I just bought the pattern but I don’t think I will use the waterproof lining on the first one. Thanks for the great video!

U r really talented

That tote would make a perfect diaper bag. The hand bag is a little big for my taste, but it would be a good work bag. A friend of mine's husband made me an old fashioned pressor made pf wood and I use it on the waterproof canvas and it presses it better than anything. If you can get your hands on one you would love it.

Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks so much for the tip on using DH. I was wondering if it would work or not (I’ve thought about using Woven Fuse to sandwich the DH in) but I never tried it. I absolutely love using DH on all my bags for the bottoms (especially for ones with a big gusset that wraps all around the bag) bc it gives the bag such nice structure. At the same time I absolutely HATE it bc when I push and bend my bags around or turn them, the DH always ALWAYS lifts up along the corners or edges. I keep it out of my seam allowance bc it just makes the bags to thick to sew through and plus it makes them look odd when it’s turned (like it sits weird).

Also, clipping the gusset as you go around just about a quarter inch in would relieve some stress, wouldn't it? It might stop puckering.

I absolutely love the bags you assemble. I’ve made a few bags nothing as elaborate as yours however. I need to order hardware. What would you recommend ordering to get started? Thank you in advance!!!

Jess! I'm on a work trip winding down before dinner and you know how I relax?! Watching your videos and getting inspired!! Question - which of your awesome machines did you use for this bag? I struggle with layers and topstitching alot and wonder if it's user error or my machine. Might be helpful if in your notes you list WHICH machine you used for the project!??! Unless you already do that and I'm just dumb and haven't seen it... Thanks for all the inspiration and GREAT tutorials!

Hey Jess! I love your tutorials. Can I use Duck Canvas as my accent/exterior?

Thank you so much for the time you spend giving us these wonderful videos ☺️ Question though....why do you turn the bag? Why don’t you just drop in the lining and then sew binding around the top or fold the raw edges in and top stitch the lining to the front around the top?

Hi, Jess! I’ve heard you say over & over NOT to use cotton thread in bag making. I’m sure you have said why-somewhere. Would you mind repeating what’s wrong with cotton thread in bag making? Thank you soooo much!!!

Hi. Beautiful bag and amazing work. Just for people using cm. A 0.5 inch =12 mm. I would absolutely love seeing the bag tutorial. Txs

Hi, love your video. Where do you get your bag tags from? Thanks.

thanks 😍😍

Where do you get your metal labels from? Thank you! =)

You should be impressed by yourself that is a very beautiful bag I'm certainly impressed

Yikes!!!! I love the bag already....it is sweet

So cute!

Jess please please can you do the Bagstock Flair bag, no tutorials match yours xx

Bella, Bella, Bella, pero yo no usaría esas dos telas tan fuertes... me muero por hacerla!!!

Okay, okay......like from the beginning, now back to the video😊😊

Hi today is Feb 2024 was wondering if the CHRISTmas fabric lycra is still available for purchase if so where do I order? Please let me know I commented on a tutorial before and never heard back. I love your videos your a great teacher

Hi from Arizona! Love your tutorials! I can’t tell you how much it helps me! Thank you! One question though, with all the thickness with the decovil, how come you didn’t use your Juki? Just wondering. I plan on using my Juki for this as opposed to the Babylock domestic.

I like this bag! I’m so making this bag! Question… can you redo the Fanny pack video?

Por favor active los subtitulos, yo le sigo y me gusta su trabajo. Gracias.

So cute

I wish you would post the costs associated with the creation of each bag. I used fabric I had on hand for the tote I made but it would be nice. It would give an approximate of the costs involved.

Seriously Jess you are the best instructor. I have been watching tutorials for the NCW....mostly painful and so many different hacks it’s confusing. Have you considered this clutch or did you do it and I missed it?

Hey Jess, where do you get your custom metal tags from? I'm searching and searching and can't decide the best place to order mine from. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
