Great bag! What type of fabric did you use for your sublimation?

Was there a link for the blackout fabric?

How has the prints held up? Did they fade?

Rivet setter, boxed corners and zipper setting tool would be so helpful, especially if they will be available in NZ.

The logo stamp sounds awesome. Are there any suppliers in the us that do anything like that?

Binny is the best ❤

Templates are the best. Especially the ones from Brymaxx Precision.great quality and pricing. Thanks Binny

Great interview! I really enjoyed the discussions about recycling and being aware of our waste!

I started sewing bags with my photos on them in 2018 and as I needed to be able to see the image to fussy cut my pieces out, I bought a sheet of probably 3mil acrylic and a scoring knife and now have a collection of the different patterns I designed (all straight edges for me) and I love them--don't know how much time I've saved using my templates! I have since purchased different templates as well and loved hearing your story and although I'm in Hawai'i and may source them closer, I appreciate how you're helping small businesses in this way! Aloha!

I love Brymaxx's templates. I have many from different designers and love that they are so careful with collecting proof of purchase. People need to understand these templates are an additional tool to help with the pattern, so we must own the pattern first. I only started sewing 2 years ago, straight into bags. I'm so fortunate to have arrived at a time when templates are a realistic option. For me using templates just makes sense, I get to use my rotary cutter accurately and the templates can be used over and over. Next decision is not if I get another template, rather it's what one will I get? Thanks for another great interview!

If you know of other Template cutters that are vigilant about protecting designer copyright and supply a great product please add there name in a comment or send me their link😀

Newbie here. This is such a fun project. Can you please tell me what you mean by edge coating? Thanks.

I can't wait to give this pattern a try.

Great insight ladies. FYI I love rose gold and rainbow.

Love your bag chats. Great to have info relevant to our Aotearoa context. Lovely ladies.

Collette is a fun sew. I haven't graded this pattern as I feel pattern grading is so subjective but she's not hard there are just some new techniques. I suggest watching the video to decide for yourself if you can make a gorgeous Collette.

Hi! I have been looking for a new handbag for a while and I think I finally found one. 🤩 I was just wondering, is the pattern in inches?

I love doing applique, and these people are two of my favorites for inspiration!

This was wonderful. Thank you for telling us about your journey

KIM-what settings do you use on the Cricut for Vinyl?

I totally like to outsource my appliqué to me Cricut

I appreciate free patterns HOWEVER there a lot of writers that have evolved and teaching styles are no longer the same as that free pattern. I feel free patterns are just glimpse of the writer but shouldn't the only deciding factor to continue with that writer. Guilty as charged. My favorite free pattern is the Mabel Vintage Handbag by Swoon.

Thanks Jill, another great chat. My favourite free pattern is the Miss Maggie bag by Emmaline Bags, a great starting point that can be modified in so many ways

A very interesting conversation. I am always cautious when checking out and downloading free patterns, I found a lot of companies would then bombard my inbox with more patterns than I would like. Or the patterns were missing important pieces and information. Thank you Jill and Kerrylee. 💐

Ooh Jill I so look forward to these chats!!! Well done friend!!!

Thank you ladies, this was a great motivation for a burnt out bag maker, I am keen to get sewing again.

Ahh I love these podcasts/interviews and hope they continue!

Thank you - what marker do you use that you can just wipe off?

Jill, Bag Chat is a wonderful idea! I have really enjoyed it. It's very informative and I love putting a face and personality behind names and designers. Thank you.

So many beautiful and inspirational appliqued bags Thank you for these podcasts. I would love some additional tips on how to sew appliques when your machine is being difficult though. I've got no problems with ordinary vinyl bags when it comes to either transportation or eating of the fabric. But when I tried applique it wouldn't move. Even when I tried a bigger, reversed design and "started in the best spot" (straight, simple line with lots of fabric to grab) with different foot pressure and feets (standard, teflon acu-feed/transportation, zipper) it just stomps in the same place unfortunately. Saw thread lubricant was mentioned, but I've never heard of this, was is it? And what should I look for? I'm in the northern hemisphere so google either gave me foreign pages or hits I'm unsure is suitable since the purpose was so different

Such great advice from everyone ❤

Very interesting chat. So enjoyed each of your perspectives. Would have liked to see some pictures of everyone’s market setups.

If you're a Bag maker and would like to join me for an episode let me know.

This is very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you Jill for a kiwi flavored Bag Chat, hearing both ladies express the same challenges I face was helpful, as they say a problem shared is a problem halved . Thanks to Susan and Moni for your time and sharing your experience and tips ❤

❤❤

Thank you Emma for all your knowledge and sharing. Wonderful chat.

A very enjoyable interview. And yes, Emma I totally understand that working from home it is hard to not keep on working and have time out.

Thanks so much for having me on Jill, it was fun to chat with you. It’s easy to forget my past life 😂

What an inspiring journey 🤍

great Job and say to follow!

Fabulous little purse! Those old machines were great work horses. I learnt sewing on an old Singer treadle, and when Mum bought an electric machine in the late 1950’s we thought we were in heaven. 😊 Thanks for your videos, much appreciated. 💐

Hello Thanks for the video. I love vintage machines but there are not very many videos of bag makers using them. Would be nice to see what it can handle, like heavier materials and how heavy can you go on thread? Can it handle Tex 70 maybe. How heavy can you go on needle size and do you need a walking foot attachment and non stick Teflon feet for vinyl etc. All those bag making questions 😀😍thanks

@Tara what brand and model sewing machine do you use.

i would love to see how you layer them

Where do you buy your cute vinyl patterned fabric. I am in the USA

I went part time as my bag making business really took off, sadly after a number of years it’s gone into decline so I’ve had to return full time 😢

What a wonderful Chat!! I have so many questions for Tara!! It would be an absolute delight to have some of these ladies on a live. I understand that time zones are a deterrent though. I am just learning to navigate social media. Send emails. Will be fixing up my Facebook page, I had no idea! So much great information in these Chats. I am so thankful for you!

This was really interesting and great to hear Tara's journey. I love the Louie, it is a great little bag and my 90 year old dad loves his very much. Perfect for his use as he has a walker and needs hands free..
