Oh also: the opening for turning. I baste with the longest stitch length along that opening and start sewing again (back stitching of course). Then I press open the basted part. Seam rip open the turning hole, and turn. It is so easy after you have turned it out to tuck that opening back in.
I am going to make this bag for 2 of my grandchildren to use at Mardi Gras parades to put their beads and stuff in. I think I will get a painters cloth to make it. That is a good strong cloth. I don't think I will have to line it. You are an excellent teacher. I enjoy your videos.
A swoon Rosie was the first thing I ever sewed on a machine and it came out great! Her patterns are so great to follow, no confusion! This is a great bag for fabric scraps to make a grocery shopping bag out of! Sew your scraps together to make the bag pieces. Easy peasy! Tip: stock up on interfacing when joanns has it on 60 or 70% off. They do this frequently.
I have Rosie on my list to try! It's such a darling bag. Thanks for the Joanns tip! I'm terrible at keeping track of coupons, but I HAVE to figure it out. This stuff gets expensive!
You are a very encouraging teacher showing people how to manage something they might have passed by! I love the large size for the farmers market days!
I am thrilled to see this bag. I purchased a similar one when I was in Hawaii and I love to take it with me on trips because it can collect all. I wanted another one just like it and then I saw this pattern. this one is much more than my current bag as it has pockets. I will definitely be making this.
Thanks so much for this video, Jess. I successfully made one of the small size bags. I LOVE it! I did find that I had to sew the curves a few times to get them smooth. It was a little easier for me to put the main panel (ghostie block) down instead of the side panels. Love your energy and pacing in this video. I've been waiting since the pattern came out in 2018 to actually make the bag since I couldn't quite understand it. You have made it clear and I'm making another one for my sister.
Love your enthusiasm. The way you show the steps and your comments along with them makes everything so clear. I have sewed and quilted for years but we can learn new tips and tricks everyday and I certainly have from you. Thank you and keep on doing these tutorials.
Hi Jess. I want you know that I love your ENERGY !!! you are so much fun to watch !. You are always my inspiration. Please continue making your videos, I personally appreciate very very very much !!! You are beautiful inside out💕💕 .
This is crazy! I found this pattern a while ago, printed it and forgot it. A few days ago I was going through a stack of forgotten paperwork and rediscovered this beautiful bag. I thought what are the chances someone has done a tutorial and yours popped up that you uploaded 2 days ago!! I think it’s fate! Really love your style! 🙋🏻♀️ new subscriber! Thanks so much!
I finished the large Summer Festival bag yesterday. Love, love this bag. Thank you for the video’s. I made it from fabric that was left over from a quilt I made. made.
Just finished the larger bag and I’m so chuffed with how it turned out! Thank you for your amazing tutorial, without which this would have been impossible x
At the beginning of this tutorial you said that you would have modifications on this bag in a tutorial done at a later date, was that done? If so, which video is that? Thanks! ❤ your tuts, always!
I love the ghost. The bag I'd awesome. I do like both sizes. If I had not seen you make it I wouldn't if tried. I need to make this and get the pattern.
I've never heard of a Swoon bag or a festival bag so I'm really interested in seeing what this is. I know the last time I went to a festival, there was a lot to carry so I think it's a great idea. Thank you so much for providing this information. I'm sure I'm gonna love it.
Thanks for another great tutorial. I loved the bag. I’m going to make it. I just love you Jess, you transform everything and create a best version. The image of the bag at the site it’s not appealing, that’s why people are not doing it. Thank youuuuu 😀🤩🥰🙏😘😍❤️
I love your vibes and maybe you should be my big sister that I never had...I just received news that my niece just passed on and I was so low but then I started watching your tutorials.Some how I am feeling better and more control of my emotions right now.
I'm so sorry to hear that friend. I also turn to the internet when trying to deal with something difficult. I'm so happy to hear these videos are helping you heal.
It's pretty nuts Stephannie, but in the best way! I'm so excited that so many others love creating as much as I do. Such incredible people here on UA-cam!
Thank you for the tutorial. I had downloaded the pattern a while ago. I am a visual learner, and had never made it yet, loved the video. Will be making it soon, thanks again.
Thank you so much, Jessica! I love how you teach! I always search your channel when I want to make a pattern- just in case you've made it. I am not very experienced, so I try to judge how difficult it is *before* I print or buy the pattern. :) The only thing I wished you had done was try to put the mini bag as a crossbody (we're the same height). So I may make the handles longer. I'm disabled and walk with a cane, so I make all my bags crossbody. I know this is a reversible bag, so I am curious as to adding a closure without it looking silly when the bag is reversed. Can you please make the Swoon Vivian??
Just made this bag yesterday - it's super cute! Your tutorials are SO great! You're awesome. I like your speed and you're not boring LOL. You're very easy to follow. I'm a visual learner, so video tutorials are the best for me. Any chance you could make a tutorial for the Swoon India Hobo Bag?? Or have you, and I just can't seem to find it?... Keep the tutorials coming!! :)
Great tutorial, this bag would be a great way to use/show some of the favorite quilt blocks, not just trick-or-treat bag, but like stars, musical, patriotic, ect. Thanks Jess, you are a GREAT Treasure! ;)
Cathy you are making me teary eyed, that's so nice of you to say! I love using quilt blocks in bags, it gives you a chance to really show them off out and about.
I think I can make this. I have lots of fabric on hand. Actually the smallest I have is 1 yd the only thing I need is to purchase the sf 101. This will probably be the first bag I make that’s not a tote! I love watching your videos & hope to be able to have your level of skill one day!
I just want you to know that you make me smile!! While I am sewing, I put on your videos and I just love your bubbly spirit! By the way, I agree about UPS sitting in front without leaving anything for me. Big Disappointment!
Hello Jess. This is a wonderful bag. You said you will make another video with modifications of this pattern. It has been 2 years!!! Plisssss I am so curious about your changes
Hi, I just found your channel and I love watching youtube videos but I rarely comment. Getting kinda old and not up on all the new fangled technologies. Anyway, I have noticed that like many, one of the biggest pains is getting our finished seams to lie just right where one isn't peeking over the other. I also noticed you love vinyl and of course this wouldn't work, but on just your fabric seams, a lady named Donna Jordan from Jordan Fabrics has a little technique she uses that makes it so easy! Not all that finger rolling etc. If you have a seam that her technique wouldn't work on, then you can take your tool that you use to poke out your corners and drag it along the inside of the inner part of the seam (do you know where I mean) and kinda of give it a little run and it will also help you not have to do all that rolling.
I recently purchased a free pattern from Swoon called the Dollie mini cross body bag and I was wondering if you would do a video for it. The only one I found was without sound or explanations
Here are your Time Stamps!
Materials - 5:49
Making and Attaching Pockets - 7:38
Bag Assembly - 13:33
Strap Assembly and Final Stitches - 22:43
Love how you explain step by step. Fantastic tutorials. I live in England and had never heard of Swoon bags before you mentioned the patterns
Oh also: the opening for turning. I baste with the longest stitch length along that opening and start sewing again (back stitching of course). Then I press open the basted part. Seam rip open the turning hole, and turn. It is so easy after you have turned it out to tuck that opening back in.
Well ding dang, I never thought to do that. Trying it on the next bag!
About pressing the handle portion after you turn it: if you wet your fingers, it is easier to roll that seam all the way out.
Thank you Kris! You always have the best tips.
I am going to make this bag for 2 of my grandchildren to use at Mardi Gras parades to put their beads and stuff in. I think I will get a painters cloth to make it. That is a good strong cloth. I don't think I will have to line it. You are an excellent teacher. I enjoy your videos.
That will be so much fun!! Oh, I can't wait until we are past this crazy and can enjoy parades again.
August 2019: 400 Subscribers - July 2020: 62,100 Subscribers. You are KILLING it! Well deserved. You are a great teacher.
Oh wow, I didn't even realize! The channel is such a special place, I'm so lucky to be a member of the best community!
A swoon Rosie was the first thing I ever sewed on a machine and it came out great! Her patterns are so great to follow, no confusion!
This is a great bag for fabric scraps to make a grocery shopping bag out of! Sew your scraps together to make the bag pieces. Easy peasy!

Jess OklaRoots if you have JoAnns app, you don’t need to keep track of coupons. They’re right there for you. Easy peasy 😊
Excellent teaching skills! Thank you.
You are a very encouraging teacher showing people how to manage something they might have passed by! I love the large size for the farmers market days!
Thank you so much for the kind words!

Great music and filming. Never outside the frame. Very professional.
haha you're so funny! I've been binge watching your videos and love them all. I have so many ideas now!
Glad you like them!
She’s great! I love her too! 🥰
The large would make a great beach bag.
I'm on my 5th large... and loving it

Hi Jess. I want you know that I love your ENERGY !!! you are so much fun to watch !. You are always my inspiration. Please continue making your videos, I personally appreciate very very very much !!! You are beautiful inside out💕💕 .
Thank you! Will do!
That would be a great beach bag!
Knitting needles or chopsticks work really well for pushing seams out in tight spaces! Great tutorial.
Great tip!
I sided to teach a simpler version of this bag, smaller size with a boxed bottom and sold pattern too. Many moons ago. 😆. You inspire me.
This is crazy! I found this pattern a while ago, printed it and forgot it. A few days ago I was going through a stack of forgotten paperwork and rediscovered this beautiful bag. I thought what are the chances someone has done a tutorial and yours popped up that you uploaded 2 days ago!! I think it’s fate! Really love your style! 🙋🏻♀️ new subscriber! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for watching Meghan! It was totally fate 😍
I finished the large Summer Festival bag yesterday. Love, love this bag. Thank you for the video’s. I made it from fabric that was left over from a quilt I made. made.
Isn't it such a great bag?! I love that you have a bag to match your quilt 😉
i love the quilt block idea! i definitely have a few quilt blocks around that don't have a home that would great on a bag.
Just finished the larger bag and I’m so chuffed with how it turned out! Thank you for your amazing tutorial, without which this would have been impossible x
Woot! This is one of my favorite bags. Isn't it so big? It holds all the things!
Can we sell these bags and if so how much would u charge for this bag?
At the beginning of this tutorial you said that you would have modifications on this bag in a tutorial done at a later date, was that done? If so, which video is that?
Thanks! ❤ your tuts, always!
Have you done the additional video yet? I like this bag but WOW, it does need a lot of fabric. And the interfacing! Whew
I love the ghost. The bag I'd awesome. I do like both sizes. If I had not seen you make it I wouldn't if tried. I need to make this and get the pattern.
I'm so glad this showed you how great the bag is! It's actually incredibly useful, I find myself reaching for it often. Have fun making it!
I've never heard of a Swoon bag or a festival bag so I'm really interested in seeing what this is. I know the last time I went to a festival, there was a lot to carry so I think it's a great idea. Thank you so much for providing this information. I'm sure I'm gonna love it.
Thank you for watching, Tamara! Definitely check out Swoon Patterns. They have a lot of different bag options, and this is a great one.

Brill. Loved your personality and teaching. Great job. Keep it up x
Love the idea of using quilt pieces on the outside pieces.
Isn't that fun Nancy? I have so many quilt blocks, I love using them in other projects.

I love how cute this is! This would be so cute as a halloween candy bag.
Great tutorial, this bag would be a great way to use/show some of the favorite quilt blocks, not just trick-or-treat bag, but like stars, musical, patriotic, ect. Thanks Jess, you are a GREAT Treasure! ;)
Cathy you are making me teary eyed, that's so nice of you to say! I love using quilt blocks in bags, it gives you a chance to really show them off out and about.
Super cute!! Now we know you like Snickers!!
I made one of these in 2019, still carrying it. 😊
I just made one of these!!🥰
This would make awesome dipper bag.
I think I can make this. I have lots of fabric on hand. Actually the smallest I have is 1 yd the only thing I need is to purchase the sf 101. This will probably be the first bag I make that’s not a tote! I love watching your videos & hope to be able to have your level of skill one day!
Thank is a great bag! Definitely stock up on that sf101 or wovenfuse from Got Interfacing.

Hi there. can you make the India boho bag ? Please

Thank you for the advice, Paula! I'll take a look at Donna Jordan. Those seams really a bugger to keep flat for me.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You are wonderful teacher . I’m going to make bag of this pattern.
Let me know how it goes!

Well that is something I have never seen! What a great idea. I've got one on order now. Thank you for the suggestion!
nice bag and very explanatory. please , how do i get the pattern? Thank you
Super cute but looks really fidgety.
Omg😻 I love this bag😻❣ I most definitely will be making one❣❣
Isn't it so fun?? It's just the coolest design!
Oh my god trying to sew those round bottoms was awful. But-- i made the large one finished it and love it.
I hear you, they are tricky! But congratulations!!
I recently purchased a free pattern from Swoon called the Dollie mini cross body bag and I was wondering if you would do a video for it. The only one I found was without sound or explanations
Oh the Dollie is SO CUTE! It is on my list to film! Thank you for asking
So cute. I enjoyed the lesson.
Thanks Donna!
Great tutorial!! Thanks again for your videos!! 🙂👏🏼😉
Glad you like them!
@@OklaRoots you are awesome!! 🙂
Love this bag. It would be great to take my stuff to the pool for deep water aerobics.
When you took the paper out it scared the bejeezus out of me
Still (un)patiently waiting for part 2. 🤔
Hi Jessica, just wondering if you could make a laptop bag from swoom
Great bag! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Kathy!
I chose to do my lining in wpc and now turning is taking forever.
Very nice, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Heather!
Thanks so much for helping me with this bag! The instructions just weren't clear to me!
You're welcome Linda!
I love your top. Did you make that?
