Love love the design of this bag❤. I am looking for a pattern that has mixed materials like vinyl / faux leather and cotton fabric together and this one is perfect as I am now branching out to sewing WPC or vinyl or faux leather / vinyl or cork materials. please make more tutorials using fabric materials other than quilting cotton. As always thank you for your detailed tutorial which makes it easy to follow. Take care. 🥰

Making one now and going to try to make a smaller one for my granddaughter. Hope I can do that neatly and it comes out good. Thanks Yoan. So glad I found your channel.

Hello again😁 what can i use instead of vinyl, i hasn't got it. Can i use cotton and put inlay on ot, interfacing i mean🙈😍 fairly new to this bag making😁 If I can use the same material as the outer material, do i messure and assemble it as shown in the video??

@swingit3323 8 ай бұрын

Hi Yoan, Thanks so much for sharing, you made it look so easy to sew this bag :) My 3rd time watching haha, the size is a bit too big for what I'm planning for. So Anyway, If i make smaller than in the pattern, would it be effecting the bag construction beside needed shorter zipper? Thanks again!!

@nancy9478 6 күн бұрын

I decided to make the mala, but I am using cotton. I will attach fusible fleece to it, but wondered if I can add a zipper pocket to it? Not like the front one, but like an inset one. Can I do that with the fleece attached?

@irenee8051 2 ай бұрын

Hi Yoan, I just finished making this bag but I ran into an issue where I used zipper by the yard instead and not the store bought zipper with metals ends (zipper stop) that you used in the tutorial… now both end of my zipper ends are open. In the pattern, the start and end of zipper panels are not sewn to the bag just the top and bottom only where the zipper panels are. How do I add a tab at each end of the zipper panel especially the area where the zipper panel was sewn at the beginning edge (side where the zipper pull is when closed)? Thank you.

Can you suggest something to make the bag more stable I was thinking fusible fleece
