    I know you mainly teach how to make bags but I'd LOVE to see some basic pattern tutorials for amateur sewists, like for example, circle skirts. There's a lot of tutorials on RUclips for them, but the quailty of your videos and edits, the details and simplicity in your instructions... you can't even be compared!! I love your channel! 🥰🥰🥰 Commented this on the most recent video in hopes you'll see this, lol. Never stop making content pls.
    (P.S. Your convention bag idea is AMAZING, especially with the security leg strap!)

    Did you ever make a zipper template with your Cricut? If so is there a svg file or did you just measure and make it yourself. I find that to be such a great idea and makes it look so professional.

    Great information. Thanks for sharing. I don't have a lot of money to spend on embellishing my bags. I still don't have custom bag tags. I thought about purse feet but they were pretty expensive. Where do you get yours?

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  Год назад +3

      I get purse feet right off of Amazon! You don't need the screw-in kind. The ones I get are lightweight and have two prongs you just support and lay flat on the wrong-side of the fabric, just as if you were installing a magnet. What I do is put a touch of glue on them, then cover them with a strip of duct tape. I only add purse feet to deep bags that may be set down on the floor, like the Swoon Lola.

    Instead of vinyl for zipper trims, you could also use upholstery fabric as that doesn't really fray.
