Being from Colorado how can I not love The Denver Backpack. The kit is awesome especially the mountain fabric. The special tag from Jayde is perfect. Love being part of the BMBC. Great tutorial Jess. Your tips and tricks help make me a better bag maker. 💜

What I really appreciate is your sense of humour and how you make fun of yourself. I LOVE your finished bag❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi, great tutorial. If you have machine where you can adjust the PRESSURE of your foot NOT the thread tension lessen the pressure it will allow you to slide around the curves easier. I have Janome HD 9 which allows you to reduce the foot pressure. Cheers Bronne

Ahhh! Omg I remember asking you to make this when you first started your channel!! I was knee deep in making the mini and absolutely in the THICK of it at the time 😂 you absolutely have to make the large size it’s amazing and I found it was easier! I added a slip pocket to the back panel and a zipper pocket to in the inside. So cute!!

@donnaebanks6718 10 ай бұрын

I made this bag a couple of years ago! Is it a bit of a challenge? Yes! But it was a fun sew and fun to use!

@mariehammond5097 10 ай бұрын

Finishing this bag up atm. If i make this bag again, I think I'll install a 2nd zipper pull on the main zip tab in the same direction as the zipper I want to keep, then just pull it off to close the zipper at the end. There are so many fiddly parts to this bag. This seems like a simple solution to some of the challenges with the zipper.

Cute bag cute nice colours but I think the big size it’s looks much better for an adult person 👌

@Missy_Made_It 10 ай бұрын

Love it! Only one concern is that when you have it in your back the zipper is easily accessed. Perhaps there is a way to put a hook on the zipper to hook to the d-ring? Or something along that idea? Perhaps a hoof from the d-ring to the zipper?

@Missy_Made_It 10 ай бұрын

A hook* not hoof!🤪

I made the Brooklyn for my travel bag and the same connectors along the zipper almost killed me; so uneven! I botched it bad. I made another round for my folks and incorporated it he connector in with the seam/zipper and it looked so much better

I am in the Bag Making Bee Club but a newbie to bag sewing. I just started cutting the pieces without looking at the postcard and used the print for the outside! Can I still make it that way? Also, I didn't have enuf foam to cut the bottom and back pieces!

@JB-wr7gj 10 ай бұрын

Personally I believe you can use the mountains for the outside. As hard as I tried I could not get both pieces out of the foam either. Luckily I have some on hand I can get the other piece out of. It does not need to be the same as what came in the kit. I hope this helps.

@Six-Stitches 10 ай бұрын

You’ll have to cut the 2 pieces of foam minus 1/2” all the way around. It’s the only way to get them on there. I’m disappointed there weren’t enough materials.

@pamminer755 6 ай бұрын

Wish you would give the final size of the zippers after zipper tabs. Cut my zippers per directions and too short so have three zippers that I can’t use here and have to dig into my stash. Very disappointing. Another video says cut 10 inch zippers. Not pleased at this point.

Do you find your double sided tape isn’t sticky? The last few I have bought are not sticky on one of the sides.

Try Sailrite double sided tape - it's super sticky
