Yay! I have this pattern in my queue but have been afraid to start. My new sewing theory is that if I wait long enough, Jess will do a tutorial for me!
Haha it's a good theory Heather! When I started I figured I would run out of patterns to film, but I just keep finding more and more great designers! Now I worry I'll never go to them all
I finally made this bag!! I used red waxed canvas and a gorgeous dark brown mottled cork that looks like aged leather. By FAR my favorite bag and not that hard! This will be my airline travel bag (I made the large) and I love the crossbody strap, which I made from 1” seatbelt webbing. Spectacular pattern!! Hint: using zipper tape for the main zipper, extend the tape out to the edges, not 1” in like the pattern. Don’t bother attaching the pull until right before boxing the top corners. Open the zipper before attaching the bottoms, then slide the pull on TWICE so both ends are closed when attaching the anchors.
Hey Sweet Stuff, the strap connectors are REALLY challenging. My Juki would not handle them so I ended up hand sewing the top stitch. I used E6000 and glued them in place. After that I put the rivets in place. Worked out GREAT. Just thought I would share because I know I will not be the only one having problems with those small pieces. Thanks again for ALL you do ! You're the BEST !!!!!!
Oh my goodness,,, "I did it... I made the smaller version" I am a new sewer, and I could not have done it without this awesome video / tutorial. Thank you.
Hi Jessica, what a great bag. As a fellow Bernina domestic machine users l want to share my favorite tip for top edge stitching 1/8 inch. Use the blind hem foot with the center guide and move your needle position over. The guide rides along the accent piece edge keeping the stitching the same distance away from that edge. Total game changer for top stitching! Thank you for all your awesome teaching.
This bag is so cute. I like both sizes. i love that you use your home machine because I don't have an industrial and I can make it on my Bernina. Thanks for all you do.
I love your video. This was the best step by step I seen. I can make this bag by following you. You explain everything and everything you use . Just love it. Will be following you. Thank you.
The way you teach and how comprehensive you are has inspired me to try one of the easy bags. Have only made a couple of cotton bags with fusible fleece and never thought I would try cork or vinyl and harder stabilizers and hardware but I am. Maybe in a year or so I can make something like this. Love your overhead camera. Thank you so much!
Yes!! I made this bag for myself in October and it was so difficult for me making this on my Janome HD 1000. I searched your previous high and low for this tutorial from you because I just love your teaching method! You're one of my top sewing youtubers ( others are more me know,siah swag, and sew sweetness) I religiously watch! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I definitely go for making the larger size thanks to you!
@@OklaRoots Yes it is. I started making handbags back in April/may because I was furloughed from my work and just needed to do something to occupy my creative mind( I am a singer and that outlet was canceled for me too due to the pandemic). I started watching another UA-cam handbag chanel, but felt defeated trying to follow along(videos weren't detailed enough and found it took me too long to follow along) then I found your channel and Ahhhhh...what a relief. Ive made thus far 3 of the project Pouch bags, one swoon dollie, and the Sadie expandable all from watching your videos. I tackled the Brooklyn handbag on my own praying that you'd done a tutorial on that one, but didnt give up. When i couldn't find it on your chanel, it led me to More me know page thanks to you! So i am now sew addicted all thanks to you!! Lol. Thanks again for what you do. You are sooo good and your videos are so detailed and thougrough. Just requested to join your FB group so I can share some of my creations.
@@synthiafigueroa - Hi Synthia. Above you talk about struggling to make this bag with your Janome. I have a domestic Janome 30. Do you think it would be possible to make this bag with a domestic machine? This question is asked a few times in these comments but Jess OklaRoots didn't respond. Totally understandable since there are so many comments... but I'm trying to figure out if this bag will be too much for my machine. Any thoughts if this Swoon Brooklyn would be too much? Thank you!
@@ToddGPDX I think you should be okay making this on your domestic. I did on mine! I will admit it was tough, but I managed to finish it. My advise would be to go slow! Walk the foot if you can n also leave any interfacing out of your seam allowance if at all possible! I’d also invest in a hump jumper too! If you’re as much of a confident beginner as I was when I made mine, you’ll do just fine. Good luck!
Wow, I will have to work up to this one, it’s gorgeous, but I’m learning. I’m so proud of myself though, I used your Bitty Boxy bag tutorial and sewed one using my handwoven material, it turned out so frick’n cute! Thanks for such great tutorials!
Making this bag as we speak. I thought screwed up with the inside pocket panel so reviewed what you said vs what the pattern says. As per you video, you say to cut the zipper opening 9" it should be 7" not 9".... I did 9" & discovered it's the exact size as my zipper pocket... so it screws up sewing the zipper pocket closed. I'll do a work around, but thought you might want to know. Unless I'm misunderstanding the video. Anyways, like your videos, this is my 2nd bag following along with you.
Thank goodness for having you ‘by my side’ when I made the smaller bag! However, I now have the confidence and knowledge to do the travel size and will try foam. The smaller bag I used fabric canvas and Decovil light, lining in quilting cotton interfaced with woven interfacing with vinyl accents. A nice structure but much more ‘floppier’ than yours but the shape is there and lovely. I did give up trying to sew on the side clip connectors and used rivets! Thank you for your great tutorials.
I've made a couple of bags lately and barely referenced the pattern because I just watched your tutorials. SO much easier to understand and follow! I've been dying to make this one and now I know I actually can. Thanks so much!
I love the size of the smaller bag! The look, shape and accents are so perfect for that designer look. I just bought that dimpled ivory vinyl on my punk a few weeks ago, ha! It is so stinking cute on that bag!!!
I’m making this Jess in those exact colors. I love it. You know what it reminds me of. Remember in old western shoes. They would show the stagecoach guy carrying and bank money. This bag looks like that stagecoach bag. I love this bag I bought the pattern just now and getting my waxed canvas. Thanks love ya girl. Kris
Thank you thank you for doing this one! I've had the pattern forever and have been afraid to make it! Thanks to you my friend I'm confident I can do this!!!♥️♥️♥️
I had seen this pattern before but was not that interested, but then you made this cute handbag size and I was so in love that I had to buy the pattern even though I am sure I could have figured it out by myself. So I just bought it and will be sewing mine soon. Thank you Swoon Patterns for allowing the video and OklaRoots for sharing the video. Xo from Brazil. Vanessa
Thanks for this tutorial! I bought a stiletto/seam ripper from the place you got yours. She's so great to work with!! I love it! I'm going to be making the Sewn Ideas Beauty Makeup Bag for my daughter hopefully in the near future. Can't wait to give it to her! Couldn't do any of it without you! ❤️
I just love the way you do your tutorial Jess. You are such an inspiration for me. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s became like a therapy !! May God bless you always. Wishing you all the success. Both the finished bag looks super awesome. Continue to stay as my therapist. Love you ❤️🤗🌹
English is not my native language and I do not understand all the words you say... BUT your tutorials are so clean and detailed that make it so easy to follow.. BUT, most of all I love your enthusiasm and the joy you spread even throught the screen! Thank you very much for your time and efforts! Greetings from Athens, Greece ♥️
This tutorial is amazing. So thoroughly explained!!! Im now going to purchase this pattern. I was not sure which Swoon pattern I was going to try first. This tutorial helped me make my choice. Thank you!!!
I just subscribed. This is the second tutorial I've watched from you. I love how you give the dimensions of the topstitching (also in metric) and you clearly instruct us at every step... and to let us know when things aren't stitched perfect.. when to let it go. While I am not a beginner, I am not a confident sewist (also I just got back into it from not sewing for a decade). Question though: do you not have to finish the seams? Thank you for making this video.. I will be buying the pattern.
What a beautiful bag. They both look so much better than the ones on the website - I wasn't attracted to make them. But now...uh oh...I see another pattern purchase in my future! Since you make the main body out of waxed canvas and cotton, which did you prefer? Any fabric suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Beautifully done. Very nice craftswomenship. You're fabulous and a Professional Bag manuctuer. Thank you for you're expertise wisdom and love. . One love Afro G64 lamiert Park Village LA Crenshaw 👼❤️🔥 Blessings
Omg this bag is soooo nice I just had to try and what a project it turnt out to be. Everything went wrong I put the linning on the outside as I forgot to cut my vinyl but OK looked good. I put the bottom inside lininning on the outside but worked OK as now it is vinyl on bottom. But the inside pocket went well😊. I even managed to put on the strap connectors but alas my machince did protest A lot 😢 not sure it will recover. But managed to finish it with rivets on strap as machine did not want to no. All in all I am really pleased with final outcome. Really enjoyed making the bag just wish my head was on right 😂.
I absolutely love this pattern. The handbag size was my first bag and I think it is truly beginner friendly. I made another at 115% and it is bigger and the perfect handbag size without going as big as the Traveler. (115% is the biggest you can go on a US letter size piece of paper for the pattern to fit) Keep in mind to lengthen the straps 😁
Enjoyed your video. Think I will sew my handles on when I do the front pieces though. Seems like it would be easier at that point to rivet or sew. Great pattern. I’ve used that yellow waxed canvas for a Klum bag, but was disappointed with how dirty it got. It definitely looks well loved!
Wow!😍. I just love these bags, they’re so cute and beautiful🤩. You’re so amazing and a good teacher. I’ve just subscribed to your channel! But can you share some of your old patterns with those of us that don’t have easy access to these beautiful designs? Thanks
Just adore this bag. Both sizes are brilliant!! I’ve ordered a rivet press and I’m super excited to start using it. I agree your bag needs to travel - come to Scotland with it 😜😜
I love your channel. I have made many wonderful projects just from the knowledge you share about sewing. Would you be able to do a video about this bag without vinyl?
Jess, may I ask where you purchased your KAM Rivet setter. I'm getting really tired of using my hand punch. I loved the video, bag was made using faux or vegan leather and quilting cotton. I love it. thanks the video was very clear - and the time stamps - a life saver
So I tried this bag. I got all the way to the connectors for the zipper... It's too much for my machine. Ive tried everything except sewing them by hand. I'm so glad I used old fabric for this test bag! That's the exact reason I don't use my good fabric on the first try. I don't think I'll make this one again. On to the next bag 😁
Jess, I’ve been watching your tutorials and love everything you do. You are inspiring. I took your idea of using waterproof canvas for lining. It’s great!!! So far I’ve used it in my wristlets and it’s wonderful. Now I’m going to try decovile lite for some larger bags. Thank you.
This is great! I’ve been designing a lined duffel for travel and trying to figure out how to do the ‘sew it inside out and turn it’ part, and my design and this design are similar enough that I can just use this technique. I might even add a little velcro stash pocket in there… hmm… 🤔
Hello Jess, everything is fine! Thanks for the videos, they are awesome. Thank you for making your knowledge available. Could you tell me the name of the exact polyester lining (name for purchase) and where to find it? Thanks. Katia
Hi Jess, Wanting to make this bag using the waxed canvas. Please tell me how you adheared the interfacing to the waxed canvas. Thanks for the help. Love the way way you did the smaller bag....it's adorable! Rita
I am making another one of these bags. Made the handbag size and now making the traveler. I have a Bernina machine also. Can you tell me what the green colored presser foot is that you used when sewing on the vinyl accent piece? Thanks much. Your tutorial is great.
Hi Jess, I know you posted about your metal bag tag before....however I can not find that information. Can you pretty please share it with me. Thank you so much in advance! Happy sewing!
Jess you are such a FANTASTIC teacher! I have learned SO MUCH from you!! I've watched this now, gosh I don't know maybe five times and I'm ready! LOL! I just have one question, I'm the kinda girl that HAS TO HAVE A POCKET on the outside of my bag. Zip, slip, something. Do think this is something that could be accomplished for this bag style? I would love your thoughts.
Jess…. I got back into sewing after 8 years because one of your videos popped up and I’m hooked on bags now. I fallowed your craft/makeup bag tutorial so far. Made 3 . Now this is my work in progress. I’m doing the handbag and had to stop because I’m using the foam. I hate the foam. What is a substitute other then decoville light? I cant find it anywhere. I want structure.
Hi Jess: OMG.... I'm Sooooo in love. Got hooked on making the Bonnie Buckets for a while, now I have a new one to tackle. So Great ! Thank you soooo much. I am a visual learner so I'm sure the written instructions would confuse me. When that happens, I just give up. LOL, that's why I have many Bonnie Buckets under my belt now, all thanks to you my dear !! Oh, by the way, your link for the binding babies is no longer valid. Thought you might want to update. You're the BEST !!!!
just adorable . question 1: do I need more than 1 12" roll of dimple vinyl? question 2: does the insert zipper trick of not sewing around the ends of the rectangle work only with vinyl, or is it a good trick with a quilter cotton? Thanks Jess. I love the size of this traveler.
Wow! You always make it look so easy! 😆 You always inspire me to make more bags! Also, how do you get the zipper pull on so fast?! I always struggle with that...
omgosh! im going to the bahamas next month! to coco Cay on the royal Caribbean line! Please send recommendations for any special places to try in Miami!!!
Hi Jess! I am about to embark on the travel size of this pattern. Just wondering, do you think it would work well to finish the base with binding? I almost think it would be easier and give the bottom more structure. But I have only been sewing for just under a year so not sure I have enough experience to know if this would be a good hack or not. I'd love your opinion! thanks :)
Love the tutorial, but I really couldn't see how you put the zipper pull onto the zipper ?.. And how did you sew over the zipper with the connectors without breaking a needle
I sure do! My every day bag is the Sadie Sling and I carry my laptop everywhere with me in the Divina Tote (both are Bagstock patterns). My mom actually uses the Bonnie Bucket bag every day and her wallet is the Worsley Wallet. We love hand made!

I am a new sewer, and I could not have done it without this awesome video / tutorial.
Thank you.
This bag is absolutely gorgeous! Cutting pattern pieces slowly but surely but it gives me time to watch your tutorial a few times before I start!
hi
Same here! I have to watch one or two times to see if I am able to make it!
I love your video! Clear, precise and nothing in there we DON'T need. This was the first one I watched, and now I'm a fan! Thank you!
Love your tutorials!!! Seriously the most comprehensive and organized🙂. Thank you for this one, have been holding on to the pattern for a bit🤣.
You are so welcome!
I have found myself only making stuff that Jess has made. For some reason I can't seem to grasp anyone else's tutorials.
Hi Jessica, what a great bag. As a fellow Bernina domestic machine users l want to share my favorite tip for top edge stitching 1/8 inch. Use the blind hem foot with the center guide and move your needle position over. The guide rides along the accent piece edge keeping the stitching the same distance away from that edge. Total game changer for top stitching! Thank you for all your awesome teaching.
I will have to look into this foot!
Just made this bag in the handbag size and am so obsessed with it. I loved your tutorial. Thanks Jess

I love your channel. I have made many wonderful projects just from the knowledge you share about sewing. Would you be able to do a video about this bag without vinyl?
Jess, may I ask where you purchased your KAM Rivet setter. I'm getting really tired of using my hand punch. I loved the video, bag was made using faux or vegan leather and quilting cotton. I love it. thanks the video was very clear - and the time stamps - a life saver
Oh my gosh this such a classy looking bag!! I love it!
So I tried this bag. I got all the way to the connectors for the zipper... It's too much for my machine. Ive tried everything except sewing them by hand. I'm so glad I used old fabric for this test bag! That's the exact reason I don't use my good fabric on the first try. I don't think I'll make this one again. On to the next bag 😁
Jess, I’ve been watching your tutorials and love everything you do. You are inspiring. I took your idea of using waterproof canvas for lining. It’s great!!! So far I’ve used it in my wristlets and it’s wonderful. Now I’m going to try decovile lite for some larger bags. Thank you.
Yay! You'll love decovil light, it makes such a difference.
This is great! I’ve been designing a lined duffel for travel and trying to figure out how to do the ‘sew it inside out and turn it’ part, and my design and this design are similar enough that I can just use this technique. I might even add a little velcro stash pocket in there… hmm… 🤔
Jess. Where did you get your bag tags. I see someone said they scrolled down and found them, but I didn't see them.
Hello Jess! Where do you get your metal bag tag/logos from?
I like your bags and tutorials a lot! Will I be able to use my Babylock home sewing machine to sew the same material you use? Thanks.
I just finish making the travelers bag can't wait to do the hand bag.
Hello Jess, everything is fine! Thanks for the videos, they are awesome. Thank you for making your knowledge available.
Could you tell me the name of the exact polyester lining (name for purchase) and where to find it?
Thanks. Katia
I had some trouble with the thick layers on the bottom, but using a hump jumper and the even feed attachment, I managed it!
Hi Jess, Wanting to make this bag using the waxed canvas. Please tell me how you adheared the interfacing to the waxed canvas. Thanks for the help. Love the way way you did the smaller bag....it's adorable! Rita
Great job!! Love it. Very high end looking.
Thanks so much!
Good looking bags! Thank you for the tutorial!
I am making another one of these bags. Made the handbag size and now making the traveler. I have a Bernina machine also. Can you tell me what the green colored presser foot is that you used when sewing on the vinyl accent piece? Thanks much. Your tutorial is great.
Hi Jess,
I know you posted about your metal bag tag before....however I can not find that information. Can you pretty please share it with me. Thank you so much in advance! Happy sewing!
I love your fabrics and notions. I can’t get anything like that here in this country 😔
Jess you are such a FANTASTIC teacher! I have learned SO MUCH from you!! I've watched this now, gosh I don't know maybe five times and I'm ready! LOL! I just have one question, I'm the kinda girl that HAS TO HAVE A POCKET on the outside of my bag. Zip, slip, something. Do think this is something that could be accomplished for this bag style? I would love your thoughts.
I love the tribiani traveler. I battled between the two bags.
I have to try that one!
Jess…. I got back into sewing after 8 years because one of your videos popped up and I’m hooked on bags now. I fallowed your craft/makeup bag tutorial so far. Made 3 . Now this is my work in progress. I’m doing the handbag and had to stop because I’m using the foam. I hate the foam. What is a substitute other then decoville light? I cant find it anywhere. I want structure.
Love your teaching, I have learn much watching your tutorials.
Would you recommend home decor fabric for the outside of this type of bag?
You are so funny.
Road trip!
No, I was thinking on my next Europe trip, maybe in the fall?
Ooooo that sounds lovely!
Ahh!! You made my favorite bag!!
Love the video was hoping you would do this pattern could you please do the handbag one your looks beautiful
Hi Jess: OMG.... I'm Sooooo in love. Got hooked on making the Bonnie Buckets for a while, now I have a new one to tackle. So Great ! Thank you soooo much. I am a visual learner so I'm sure the written instructions would confuse me. When that happens, I just give up. LOL, that's why I have many Bonnie Buckets under my belt now, all thanks to you my dear !! Oh, by the way, your link for the binding babies is no longer valid. Thought you might want to update. You're the BEST !!!!
Thank you for letting me know Tina! I'll get that link fixed
just adorable . question 1: do I need more than 1 12" roll of dimple vinyl? question 2: does the insert zipper trick of not sewing around the ends of the rectangle work only with vinyl, or is it a good trick with a quilter cotton? Thanks Jess. I love the size of this traveler.
that would also be great with a luggage sleeve on the back - for placing ON that luggage for the trip through the airport!
I love your tutorials!! Do you have any on how to sew a shirt? Your videos are so detailed and amazing!
Wow! You always make it look so easy! 😆 You always inspire me to make more bags! Also, how do you get the zipper pull on so fast?! I always struggle with that...
It's so great 😍😍😍 love it so much 👏👏👏but the pattern link didn't work with me 🥺🥺
can i ask you about the dimension of the small bag please?
omgosh! im going to the bahamas next month! to coco Cay on the royal Caribbean line! Please send recommendations for any special places to try in Miami!!!
Love the bag. Where do you get your bag tags?
Hi Jess! I am about to embark on the travel size of this pattern. Just wondering, do you think it would work well to finish the base with binding? I almost think it would be easier and give the bottom more structure. But I have only been sewing for just under a year so not sure I have enough experience to know if this would be a good hack or not. I'd love your opinion! thanks :)
Superb work! I was wondering how are you managing to film top down, I was really curious. Thank you Jess :)
Bello. Y muy bien explicado. Será mi próximo proyecto.
Love the tutorial, but I really couldn't see how you put the zipper pull onto the zipper ?.. And how did you sew over the zipper with the connectors without breaking a needle
Hey Jess! Do you use the bags you make? If so, what is your everyday handbag?
I sure do! My every day bag is the Sadie Sling and I carry my laptop everywhere with me in the Divina Tote (both are Bagstock patterns). My mom actually uses the Bonnie Bucket bag every day and her wallet is the Worsley Wallet. We love hand made!
