I'm coming back to this almost a year after it was uploaded and woah! I've actually found myself nostalgic for the beginning of all of this. Not the horrors, the deaths and the suffering of course, but I saw so many acts of kindness, so much love and a "we're all in this together" collective feeling.

Hi Jess. You are such a breath of fresh air for me. I work at Vanderbilt in Nashville so I don’t get to quarantine. I see the other side of all of this and it’s heartbreaking. Coming home and seeing your wonderful smile and watching you sew is exactly what I needed. Thank you for being there for me in my time of need ❤️

Thank you so much for the detailed video!!! I needed every step!! You are my favorites bag maker to follow. You have a beautiful heart and personality. So patient. Because of you, well.. All GLORY to GOD, but also because of you, I was able to make a bag, and 2 wallets!!! And I am in love with them and so proud of myself. Thank you, thank you for making these tutorials!!! 😃

Ohhh you are cutest little thing. Love your you tubes. I’m an old grandma and learning from all your videos, it’s true, you can teach an old dog new tricks. 👵🏻👍🏻

Our little community is one of the hot spots in Kansas and we are now on a 30 stay home mode. The instructors from are local YMCA are encouraging social distancing walking and running challenges, doing facebook live yoga and zumba classes for us. Our librarians are doing story time from home for the kids. It's very encouraging how everyone is reaching out to help in any way they can to bring a little bit of fun into our days. Thank you for your tutorials. I enjoy them immensely!! Can't wait for the next quilt block! (And your facebook group is the best!)

You have 9,686 people who have watched this tutorial. You are not only educating but you have brought joy and compassion to all of those people in this insane time we are living in. You should be very proud of yourself!

thank you for explaining how to make the lining not so loose I really enjoy you videos

thankyou Jess , I love the tip about double stitching on the seams, , bag turned out cute, and thank you for being so possitive, you brighten up the days

Retired grandma just discovered your videos. Absolutely love you!! Great teacher, explains why to do it this way and not that way. I have been sewing for many years but enjoy learning new ways and different projects.

Thank you for such a lovely intro, you are a breath of fresh air! Really enjoy your tips and tricks with the zipper, makes for a easier and more profession look on a bag. Very helpful for people like us that have a standard sewing machine and having extra bulk from a zipper can be tricky.

What a beautiful bag! But the thing I really want to talk about is what a beautiful young lady you are. I have never met you but your generosity, your compassion, your joy and your love for people and animals just shines through the tutorials that you do for us. Your family and friends are so blessed to have you in their lives. This world would be so much better off if more people were like you. So thank you for just being you and keep bringing the sheer joy you resonate through all of your tutorials. I know you make my day much brighter!!

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a nurse in Scotland and once this chaotic time is past I want to make some of these bags and pop some pamper goodies in them for my colleagues. 😘

I"ve made many of these bags. I'm sew glad you are letting your fans know about this pattern!! This is a really quick sew and looks fantastic when complete.

great tip on the double stitched side seams it makes such a difference with my vinyl

Thanks, Jess for your message of solidarity ... and to bring ourselves JOY through sewing. Godspeed.

Your words of encouragement at the beginning came at the right time for me. This week has been the worst! Not just because of cv19 but just life in general. Thank you for your kind words!!

I just found Lauren's channel. She is so fun to watch. A very talented lady! As are you!

Thank you sooo much for making these tutorials. Between this current situation and having anxiety, you help me live in the moment and enjoy learning new things. I came across your channel searching for masks, well I am done and now cant stop going to your channel for new ideas. Thank you soooo much. Stay safe and healthy. Keep up the great work you do.😘

I have to thank you for this tutorial. I made this bag today and was super intimidated by a few of the techniques but your video was so easy to follow. I made a few mistakes, thank goodness I used scrap fabric. My machine really doesn't like sewing through heavy layers. And I got real acquainted with my seem ripper, but I got it done. I feel much more confident now to try this on some better fabric. Thank you again!

I'm liking this video for the little pep talk alone! However, the bag is too easy and just so cute!

Jess, here at our rural/ranch/home in Texas , we are most assuredly following the guidelines for health and safety . Your video came at the perfect time to lift me up and change my perspective. Thank you from the bottom of my big ol country heart, youngster. Keep em coming .

I've started putting a little cornstarch on the vinyl that needs to be topstitched. I also use a teflon foot. It stitches perfectly and wipes right off.

Hey Jess 😍 I love Lauren's channel as much as I love yours, her patterns and tutorials are so cute.. this video is a mood booster thanks

Just purchased the pattern and am going to attempt this as a 50th birthday present for my cousin. I will be using all quilters weight cotton and maybe will attempt some quilting before assembling. I’m really intrigued with the zipper technique you’ve demonstrated. Thank you for sharing, as always!

I'm late to the party making this pouch. Have been on a quest for the "perfect" make-up pouch but I digress.I heard you mention how difficult it was to sew the very shiny vinyl. I have had the same problem too; until... Sewer's Aid. It's a nonstaining lubricant. You add it straight on the vinyl & a little goes a long way. I saw the lady from K.Azcona Designs use it on her heartbreaker bag, so I thought hey Ill try it. I love it. I get nice even stitches topstitching on very shiny vinyl and my Bernina #54 teflon foot has no issues gliding over the vinyl. Love your videos! Take care🧵👛

Hi Jess. Just catching up on your older videos. I love Lauren and I loved how you did this bag. Fellow Floridian here, West Palm Beach, and hoping for some cooler temps soon. Love your channel.

Omg, hidden tp no touchy🤣 This bag is so cute, I think I need it in my life💕💕

I have made several of these bag 80% , 60% 50% . The small ones make really cute cross body strap purses for my grade daughters . They love them . So much fun to sew

Thank you for being there for us Jess.

Thank you for listing where you get your materials! The fabrics and vinyl you choose are sooo cute!

You are a ray of Sunshine! Thanks for this idea

You have such a great personality, it's hard to not smile, watching your videos. This was a great tutorial, and even though I've seen Lauren make them as well, it was still awesome. It's cool to see other people's takes on the same bag.

OMG. I so appreciate all of your videos, they have helped me come so far and I have been able to start my own business! to help support my family through this pandemic. god bless you!!!!

Thank you for your zipper tip! I love the way the bag came out 😊

Great attitude! Now that I’m retired, this is not too different from my day to day activities with the exception of being able to go to church and meeting up with other retirees for coffee. But, I do remember having kids with chicken pox(yep, before the immunizations) and we were isolated for 2 weeks plus.

I love this bag. I have always hated how the zipper looks in the end. Thanks for sharing this new way for me to finish off my Zippers.

Thank you for wonderful videos. They are fun and so informative. I love your positive attitude. Keep it up.

So excited to see your new video!!! You are so uplifting!

Lauren is one very talented young woman, love her patterns and her sewing swaps.

Absolutely loved this video ! So easy to follow and I learned how to finish a zipper that looks really sleek and professional! Great job and thank you for the enthusiasm and love u put into your videos 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍

I like this bag very much the way you did it. You make most things look so easy. I know this one is, but I like the way you explain what you're doing. Thank you Jess. 😊

Thanks to your amazing tutorials I’ve made the peek a boo beauty bag, clematis wristlet and itty bitty boxy bag. Thanks again and all first for me

Thanks for staying positive! You are so uplifting. Can’t wait to make!

Jess - watching your videos has turned me onto bag making. Thanks for being so detailed.

Hi Jess, the hug thing is seriously getting to me too! Thanks for the wonderfully uplifting intro! We WILL get through this together! ❤️ #hugsforall #sewforsanity

Such a great tutorial. Thank you.

Love this! I bought the pattern and made this bag since my work cut my hours- something fun to do today!

Hi Jess greetings from Scotland Can you make a video showing how to print and make the smaller 81% version please?

I just found this video. Love it. Will make today. Thanks for all your help.

Believe it or not, I am now in quarantine, so I a finally getting around to making this bag! It is so sweet, thanks Jess for the tutorial!

Hi Jess! You have a fantastic attitude, LOVE that!!Thanks for doing this tutorial, I always learn something from you and have put this on my next must-do purse list!

Thanks so much for sharing with us, it’s gorgeous I love it I’m going to do it a few of them for gifts and one for my self 🙏

You are a great ray of sunshine!

i have not done much sewing in a very long time, but i have sewn simple boxed bags in the past. you gave so many good pointers and tips about how to make it look so professional and crisp. i've dug my machine out to start making masks. i may have to try my hand at bags again at some time. thanks for sharing. i'v sub'd

OMGosh!!!! My Punkbrodery!!! Be still my heart ❤️ Must have!!! Thank you for this find!!!

I really appreciate your explanations for each step! You have a very patient way of walking us through everything, which makes me feel much for confident in my sewing abilities. 😃 Can’t wait to try this out!

Thank you, you’re a positive, happy distraction. Love your channel.

You are so enthusiastic, I am so happy to have found your videos. You have really inspired me to sew again! Unfortunately I have run out of fabrics!

Wanted to share...Been practicing sewing on clear vinyl making project pockets before I make this bag with the vinyl sides. I use sandwich wrap paper from Smart and Final for appliqué sewing which was recommended by someone in my sewing class. Tried it on vinyl and it ROCKS! I lay in against the vinyl paper side down on machine bad. Sew on other side using silicone foot. It glides.... and the sandwich paper in budget friendly rather the parchment paper and not as fragile as tissue paper. I bought 12x15, 1000 sheets. I think I have plenty.

I have the ham but if you like using your hand, like I do, I use an ironing hand mit. I think I got it at Joanns. It works great for flat surfaces. I love this too. Looks easy and super cute!

Jess thank you so much for your videos. I’ve been a subscriber for your channel for awhile and have been very interested in making bags. And I did thanks to you. I appreciate your hard work, and tips that you provide. I’m an intermediate sewer and I love a challenge 😁 I’m going to make this bag for my friend for her birthday. Thank you again 😊

Never liked that pouch - until now!! Will be buying it and making it at 81% too!!

You are a doll!!! You make this look so easy!!! Love your videos!!! ❤❤

Jess your so inspirational! I love your videos and your such a positive person. I look forward to your videos and your inspiration. Thank you and I am sending hugs to you.

I have one of those style stiletto/rippers....my brother-in-law made it. Actually I have a blue one and a white one with red swirls. Had him make some for gifts, too.

I'm a long armer and have a bunch of 'practice' quilted pieces. I bought this pattern last year with the intention of cutting some if them for the center portions, then totally forgot about it! I've seen a similar zipper treatment, but those instructions didn't prep the 90 angle first. They did it as they installed the zipper, which was awkward. Your method looks lots easier. I'm going to go try this today.

Hi Jess this new zipper thing you got going here is freakin fantastic ! I use this technique in my bags it’s a little more to prepare the zipper but better than all that bulk in the ends. Thank you for sharing ❤️ love your bags !

Love love it so much

You are very big inspirations for many like me in this pandamic thanks for your tutorial 🙂

This video is great for so many reasons. I love your inspirational intro and your caring words during this difficult time. Hugs!

Fantastic tutorial as usual. I really luv the step teaching the zipper

They all look great! Love them Jess ♥️♥️♥️

You are a joy! Love your beautiful smiles and great tutorials.

Suggestion on ironing inside use an oven mitt if you like using your hand instead of ham.

Thank you for a great tutorial!! ❤️❤️❤️ All of this lock down stuff is so weird. My husband and I where talking about how one day our kids (who is 4 and 1 right now), grandkids and hopefully Great grandkids will be interviewing us one day about all of this. They will ask us what it was like. That’s just weird to think about. Stay safe everyone. Virtual hugs! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Thank you for your great tutorials and positivity! I have enjoyed watching your channel on days that I didn't feel well enough to see (not covid!) I hope you have a wonderful week☺

thank you. I'm from Oklahoma and you are so sweet and a great instructor.

This just popped up, a great video for what was happening! Love your videos!

I struggle so much with getting my zips caught in the seam. I'm going to try your zipper foot trick. Thanks for the tip. Great tutorial xx

You are such a wonderful person with a wonderful heart and soul! Thank you for your wonderful video.

Sew fun! I just got her Bomb Dot Com beauty bag pattern. This one looks great too! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

Thank you thank you thank you for explaining how to get the zipper in the bag where it doesn't have the dented corners!!

Love the way you turned the zipper tape, I use to make quilts reminds me of the binding in the corners. 😊

You are a very good teacher.

LOVE THIS PATTERN!!! Thanks for doing this one!

I love love love your videos and projects ..have made your grocery tote and love it ...thank u for what u do.

Hello Jessica! I'm a hugger too I love your enthusiasm. I'd love story this pouch. I'll lug my toilet paper around in it😂 Love your videos, you always teach me sumthin new❤

Hi Jess, I am making this at 81% and was wondering what the zipper lengths would be with zipper by the yard? I love your tutorials. Thank you for clear directions!

Thank you for this great tutorial Jess!!!Just an FYI I used a piece of tissue wrapping paper on the sticky vinyl and it stitched out very nice.

love to watch your tutorials lots of happy comments

Thanks!

really enjoy your videos, like the tip about sewing a wider seam in the lining as a baggy lining isn't nice. Can't find your facebook group but would love to join.

Cute

Thank you Jess!!!👍👍👍

Nice choice, and explanation!!! I'm impressed with how good your presentations have become in such a short time!! Great work--you are a very good addition to youtube!
