I’m a breast cancer survivor for 4 years now. I’m the first in my family with breast cancer. Please don’t think that you are immune to getting breast cancer because you have no family history, and go get your mammogram! My BC was found on my yearly mammo. Because I have my mammograms routinely Every year, my tumor was so small it could not be felt. I was stage 1, so I had a lumpectomy and radiation. Please, ladies, get your mammogram!!! It’s not that bad!!😍

A thousand thank you’s! I could not have finished this project without you!!!

Breast cancer survivor here 2x’s! So enjoyed this tutorial, you did an amazing job, thank you.

As someone who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31, all I can say is, if you have concerns talk to your gp and find one that will support you. I was told I was too young for a mammogram but when I told my doctor I think it’s time for a scan, she was happy enough to pretend we found a lump in order to have a scan…both of us were shocked when it came back positive for breast cancer. Thank you Jess and ByAnnie, your support and awareness will go a long way x

There are soooo many By Annie bags I’d love to see you do. THE ULTIMATE TRAVELER’S BAG 2.0 is my favorite. You are definitely the perfect person to do her bag tutorials. 💕

My mom died of breast cancer in 1988. I was 4 years old. She had the most rare and aggressive, inflammatory. So yes, I am passionate about breast cancer research and mammograms. Anyway, thank you for another fantastic tutorial. 🥰

My sister is battling breast cancer right now! She’s doing awesome! Want to make this bag for her and her daughter’s. Thank you so much for all you do!! 💝

Thank you so much for participating in this and thank you ByAnnie's ! My mom is a 41 year breast cancer survivor and was diagnosed at 29!

Was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer 6 years ago - stage 2.5. I had annual exams so it grew fast. Lymph node was clear but still had 6 months of chemo. I had a post op infection from plastic surgery expanders and it has taken me 6 years to get to the point that I’m willing to try again. Also I wanted to wait until I was closer to the end of the danger period. Cross my fingers every year.

Congrats on collating with By Annie for such a great cause!! I hope they allow you to make more of their patterns on your channel! 🤩🤩

I work for a cancer center in north carolina. I lost my sister to melanoma cancer 23 years ago and my mother gets treatment as well. I will be purchasing this pattern to help out with the research.

I just came across this and it's the best bag tutorial I've ever seen -- and I've watched a LOT! Most skim over the "tricky" parts and you do a great job of providing the detail necessary for a successful project. Thank you and great job!😄

Yeah! Will send you a suggestion soon! You are energetic but right to the point in your instructions!

What a fabulous video and pattern. Big shout out to By Annie for this #sewpink initiative. Breast Cancer is scary and can sneak up on you when you least expect it. I went in to see my OBGYN when I thought I had mastitis during a time when I was trying to wean my two year old. My breast was sore and there was a lump but I really thought the Dr would just hand me a prescription for an antibiotic and the most I would have to worry about would be soreness and a possible yeast infection. Not so much!!!! I was sent to an oncologist the following week and ten months later I had both breasts removed following multiple tests, ultrasounds and surgeries. That was over six years ago and I don't miss my breasts at all and I'm living life to the fullest each and every day. Check your girls. Go ahead and touch yourself. You'll be grateful you did. ;) PS: Thank you for you!!!

I’m so happy that you are doing this. I am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in 2019 with Stage 2 Lobular Hers2 breast cancer. The tumor was too small to detect by self check. I was really fortunate in my treatments and I had wonderful doctors and nurses.

So so appreciative of this video Thank you

You are the Perfect By Annie Ambassador! You are a Quilter and a Bag Maker... The Perfect Combination of Utilizing By Annie Products!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!! 💙🤗 I got to watch this video while visiting my child you sent a bday gift to for me. I gave her a big hug from you! 🤗 Thanks for being such an Amazing YOU ❣️

Two year survivor, have to admit it is a little scary to get that mammogram every year, but I do it anyway, thanks for this tutorial and to Annie for their support.

Jess - just found this and Can I just say - you are the best teacher ever. I have this pattern sitting on my cutting table and watched Annies video, but have been afraid to attempt it. You have simplified it to perfection!!!!!! THANK you so much for doing this amazing video!

Thank you for this information wonderful tutorial! You have given me the instruction I need to start my first bag! Thanks so much! 😊

Love your video tutorials! You always describe the step in an easy manner that makes it so easy to follow along. I always struggle with the joining the binding together after sewing it around my quilts, the way you explained how you do it made it seem less scary. Thank you!

thank you for sharing this I made one earlier today and could not figure it out but now I got it and understand now how to do these I have the pattern and will attempt to make again yippie!!!

Congrats on collaborating with By Annie and you are so amazing!! You are the perfect choice for her tutorial! I cannot tell you how much I have learned from you!!💕

Had mammogram & radiologist said it was just a small cyst, not to worry. 18 months later, doing self exam, found pebble like small "cyst". My new Dr immediately sent me for a biopsy done 5pm on Labor Day. Tuesday got positive results. Post surgery & radiation, I am celebrating this month 11 years cancer free. PLEASE no matter your age, do self exams in shower. It can save your life. Thanks Jesse for your dedication.

Yesterday I had a mammogram and an MRI of my breasts. I had 2 older sisters with breast cancer and a sister with ovarian cancer. I faithfully go yearly for my exams. I have never did the Braca test yet but will talk to my doctor about getting it done. Love the project bags you did an awesome job with the directions. Thanks you.

Great job explaining by Annie ! Keep it up!

I love how thorough you are with your tutorials…can you do a tutorial on by Annie’s Ruler Wrap. I’m more of a visual learner and I can’t find anyone on KZfaq that teaches how to make this

Lost my mother to breast cancer in 1994 at the young age of 54. I am 64 and will have my annual mammogram in two weeks.

Great tutorial as usual. Just made my donation in honor of my daughter-in-law who had breast cancer (and successful surgery) six years ago. I have made a ton of project bag using By Annie’s original pattern and using both clear vinyl or By Annie’s mesh in them. Fun to make either. Keep up the great job you do in helping others to learn a wonderful craft.

I finally got around to doing this project bag and it came out really nice thanks to your tutorial. The step by step was spot on and I never had a problem putting it together. Thank you so very much!!

This is just the By Annie Project bag tutorial that I have been looking for! I already have all the "ingredients" can't wait to start sewing my project bags! Thank you so much!

Hi Jess. I have really become a huge fan of your channel. You are so clear, enthusiastic and FUN. I came to sewing because of breast cancer. It changed the course of my life. Treatment has resulted in permanent cognitive injury and debilitating fatigue. And I am alive. Living for now. Learning to do the things I am passionate about (like making bags!) I was diagnosed with stage 4 (incurable) breast cancer at 37. I was still nursing my youngest, who was 18 months. When I learned that I, a young, fit, health conscious mom had breast cancer I was shocked. But I rationalized, "at least it is a good cancer." Meaning I thought most people are cured. That it would be not so bad. It is the fun pink cancer, right? Boy, was I wrong. First of all, for those who do get stage 1-3 breast cancer, they have to endure treatment. And then, for 30% of them, it is going to come back and be terminal. And for people like me, diagnosed straight off the bat with stage four cancer...it means that the cancer will be there forever. It means that the future is now, not some far away time. Because of research, I am still alive 10 years later. I received a new drug called Herceptin that changed my prognosis from 3 years to 15. I am hopeful I have more and I can watch my kids grow up and leave home. Research means new lines of treatment that can greatly extend and hopefully save lives. But I have lost countless friends in the breast cancer community. Friends who died young and left behind little ones. Friends who were unable to have kids because of treatment. Thank you and By Annie for raising awareness. Scans are important, but ongoing research is key to extend and save lives.

Thank you for being so detailed. I sew at night, and reading patterns are difficult when your tired. LOL your a good teacher.

I found a lump in 2015, ran to get a mammogram and it was a tiny cancer. Had the breast removed, lymph node biopsy, all of that with no pain whatsoever. But the scar turned ugly and I couldn’t clean it so I had a tram flap breast reconstruction. I do not recommend this surgery. I got four infections and almost died. My surgeon was a jerk who would never tell me anything nor visited me in the hospital either time. I had to go back for revision as my lower incision was opening and part of the new breast died. They also caused a partial lung collapse and did something to my nose so I couldn’t eat for three months, smell intolerance. If the scar hadn’t messed up I’d have been perfectly fine with my prosthesis. Luckily for me, I never once had any pain. I also was poisoned by the two antibiotics I was using at home and the infection was already gone. Not a great experience but I’m sure it’s not like that for everyone.

You are really out here working hard for us with these awesome uploads. Thank you!!!😘

This the better way to finish off the binding .I love byannie kits but you have rocked the binding explanation .Than you as I’m a big follower of you also ,fab teacher . Irene from uk england

Thank you for the video. It was extremely helpful especially the zipper part. I couldn't follow the pattern if it wasn't for your tutorial. Keep up the good work. Please do more of ByAnnie tutorials. I LOVE her patterns but I need tutorials to follow along. Hugs!!!

Would LOVE a video on the By Annie A Place for Everything 2.0. Please?!!

I'm a cervical and uterine cancer survivor. I do have history of colon, breast, and pancreatic cancer in my family. Bless everyone

A thousand THANKS!! I was stuck on the zipper instruction step. Your video clarified things. Terrific.

Thank you for the ByAnnietutorial . My mum died of breast cancer when I was 16 really tough . I am in UK make sure you prefer for all check ups on the NHS . Would Annie key you her lovely craft bag tutorial ? I love your tutorials I like that you don't assume and don't skip bits . Thank you just making your easy tote .

Thank you so much to both Jess and ByAnnie for this great SewPink project! Also, Jess I just wanted to thank you for making the binding not so scary. I struggle with binding on quilts & have been hesitant to sew a bag with binding, Going to order this pattern along with some vinyl on the roll!

Just purchased the pattern and will be back to re-watch this excellent tutorial as soon as I get it. Thanks for always making these bags seem so doable! Oh, getting my yearly mammogram on Wednesday. :)

Love it. Thank you so much. You took a lot of my fear away from the class I'm about to take.

Exquisite tutorial! Thank you for all the small details that make completing this bag Successful.

Thank you so much for making this video. I followed it step by step while I was making my bag. It really helped!

Thank you! The black background really helps us see what you are doing with the lighter fabric. Good idea!!

I had breast cancer the first time (of three) when I was only 15!!

One of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Bravo!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE your excellent details to close the binding!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

My Godmother is a breast cancer survivor of 6 years, I am making her one. Thank you 😊

Another wonderful video for me to watch and listen to while I hand quilt! Thanks for this video and your inspiration!

18 year breast cancer survivor. (Mammogram less than a year before). Thanks for this video.

We recently lost my cousin to cancer. Her cancer journey started with breast cancer. She fought for so long but, it finally won.

Excellent instructions and camera shots in all of your videos.

This was soooo helpful. Thank you.

I LOVE ByAnnie patterns and soft n stable!

Thanks for this tutorial !! You are a great teacher !! I have this pattern , but now that I could watch it be made it makes it so much easier! Thanks so much!

Love this bag! So good to have a variety of sizes. Excellent tutorial.

Wonderful💝 I adore by Annie's patterns I do have this one👍 your video is giving me the motivation and inspiration to sew them up😊 As always thank you!

So excited to see this! I love her bags, and I have this pattern but haven't tried it yet! Just a helpful hint about Annie's stiletto... one of the things I like about Annie's stiletto is the end opposite the stiletto is great for pressing seams. Very helpful in a situation like this, where you don't want to iron with your vinyl so close.

So many great By Annie patterns

The video is great and you are a powerful women. I have the medium pattern and after your video I will sew it again ♡

Happy for you. Have great luck.

I am new to your KZfaq channel. I love that on some of the patterns you used the cutting labels. Makes it so easy

In my Dad's family, there are 10 women who had breast cancer. This includes my Grandmosther, some Aunts, cousins and 2nd cousins.

The best video thank you!

Super glad you're doing this bag! Made one last night and it looks awful! I'm sure you'll set me up right to make it super nice!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see other byannie pattern tutorials. I am particularly interested in the Travel Essentials bag and the Laptop II bag. Thanks again.

Thanks!

Excited to make one of these! Did you know the HM print on the back of the small bag is glow in the dark? It’s so awesome! Your such an inspiration 💕

Enjoyed this video. I have ordered the pattern for my shop. I also sew on a Bernina and was wondering what number of foot you used for the zipper.

Went right over to site. So happy to donate!

I use a bias tape tool!

I bought that exact stilletto! Love 💗 it!

Great tutorial! Love this bag!

This isi a great tutorial - clear and concise - i love By Annie bags but their instructions and tutorials are so complicated and convoluted - they make them more complicated.

I'd love to see the sewing machine cover

I would like to see a “room with a view” from by Annie tutorial. I always think of you when I see that pattern. I know you would find a million ways to store stuff with them. I’m excited to do the pattern to organize my sons blocks and toys and he will be able to see what’s inside. They also don’t have a video tutorial for. “The backseat babysitter” from by Annie and I have the pattern just sitting on a shelf and I’m intimidated bc there is no video for it. :(

Can’t wait to make one of these!

Love you both!!!

On the vinyl handle sew it down in the binding seam , maybe that would help

I would love to see another Clam shell or clam up bag (annie or otherwise) that uses Renaissance Ribbons. I love the ribbons but was challenged where to use it on a clam shell bag.

That jumbo bag is exactly what cross stitchers are using and buying from bag makers...

Nice video! ❤

I would love to see patterns by Annies EXECUTIVE CARRYALLS II made with some of your fun fabrics. It is really helpful seeing you quilt ..keeping it real thank you.

That is so adorable! I love your tutorials

I was in my mid 40’s when I was diagnosed, but I had a very attentive doctor and she was concerned with high hormone level and decided that I should have a mammogram I didn’t see the connection but said ok , luckily I did go ahead as I did have BC that was in late 1998. I had a hard time with insurance getting it authorised. Fact low Vitamin D correlation, high hormone level I was on a high dose of birth control ( to decrease reoccurring ovarian cysts ) Fact not necessarily a family history.

Love these bags!

Beautiful bag!

The best friends that you showed towards the end what would that look like with the gold soft vinyl? Just wondering

Pleaseeee do the ultimate traveler! It’s been on my list for a year and I’m so afraid to do it! Lol

5 year breast cancer survivor!

I hope you do a PFEB. The pockets are driving me nuts.

I would like to see the zip it up bag by annie

Great tutorial!

Use the iron end of the ByAnnies stiletto!

its not only women that get breast cancer, although it is always aimed towards women, my brother had breat cancer and had a lump removed, so please, ladies, make sure the men in your life also check for breast cancer !

I can’t figure out how to get the downloaded version of these vinyl zipper bag patterns.

Not breast cancer, but I was just realeased TODAY by my oncologist for lymphoma. GONE!
