Love this! Ellie of Klum house reminds me to use a leather washer on the inside when using rivets to keep it sturdy!

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

Yes, leather washers would definitely make it more sturdy.

I love your patterns, and especially your videos - your explanations are sooo good !! Did the overnight version of Oxbow, and the Buckthorn also, and am very satisfied, considering the skills level I have ;-) Thank you so much !!!

[@tracieandthemachine]

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

[@debbiebeemer4795]

😮 mind blown, lol sew backwards instead of trying to jam it through the nose plate! Brilliant idea love it thank you!! ❤

[@NoodleheadTeam]

Thanks Debbie, we're glad this is helpful!

[@jennifermatchett1330]

Cannot wait to make this! I will totally do the side connectors on my Pepin!

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

great idea!

[@julies7111]

love this bag and the videos are so helpful. Definitely going to give this one a try. As I knitter, I am dying to know if you made the sweater you're wearing and if so, what is the name of the pattern?! Its lovely and looks super cozy.

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

Thank you! It's from Target a few seasons ago. I wish I could hand knit one like it though! I think Ozetta might have something similar-ish? www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/ozetta-knitwear

[@bethwingate5053]

Great additional ideas for the bag! Thank you!
I just got a rivet press and wonder which of the additional methods of attaching the cross-body strap would be the “strongest” for carrying heavy loads - sewing the connector piece to the outside of the body or riveting a leather connector piece to the outside of the body?

[@noodleheadsewingpatterns]

Thank you! I would think they'd be pretty similar actually! Especially if once you've sewn on the connector you add rivets as well.
