Wow - I've learnt a new technique - looks so professional on a bag. Thank you so much Rosie for all your videos which are clear and concise. I love all your patterns.
I love your tutorials, Rosie. They are very direct and to the point, which I really appreciate-and I appreciate your cleverness, too. I had high hopes for this connector, and added it to a pouch style wristlet very similar to yours, and with a similar zipper construction. It looked great when finished, as I’d hoped, but once I put actual straps on, I was quite disappointed in how they functioned. The connectors “lift,” and, if one doesn’t get the connector on quite tightly, the connector actually pivots up. This makes sense in retrospect. I think if I try this again I would actually sew the connector down somehow (and I sure would like to see your ideas about that. On my current bag, I remedied the situation by tacking the D-ring at top and bottom where it was invisible below the connector. But I probably would not try this again without some sort of modification. I’d like to see a hack with a vertical connector. The challenge there is how to attach it if the seam allowance is small. My current bag called for a 1/4” seam, which made it hard to attach a vertical connector over it.
Thank you for another great tutorial! I bought my rivet press a few months ago and am kind of obsessed with putting rivets on all my bags. Now you've given me a whole new design idea. So cute and professional looking. Thanks again!
What a great idea. For pouches that are finished & I don’t mind having the rivets visible on the inside, I can use this technique too. Thanks so much for sharing.
You certainly can do this technique with a finished pouch. I would just recommend using a hand tool to set the rivets because it would be difficult to get the rivet press into the area where the zipper tab and pull is. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much Rosie. I can’t wait to try this!! I don’t have a rivet press but I do have the other tool. Which I’ve been hesitant if to use. Love the Tula bag. I do use your hacks and ideas! Your Fantastic!!
I should've watched this before I made my last crossbody bag this week! Thank you, alot better than handstitching the strap onto tweed, I love your tutorials 😍
Fabulous techniqueconvertible sling / backpack but I find that I prefer a crossbody strap instead. This is the perfect way to retrofit my bag. Thanks so much!
Rosie I am a huge fan of your patterns and video tutorials!!! I bought the Sarah's wristlet/cross body pattern as well as the saddle back pouch last night. I'm so excited to get started! I want to use this method to attach the cross body strap. thank you sooo much for all your wonderful patterns and tutorials! I think I have almost all of your patterns.
This is exactly the tutorial I was looking for !! Thank you so much for sharing !! but I’m wondering if this technique would work with fabric and not leather as you used ?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have a handbag done that I would love to add a crossbody strap to. Would I be able to make these tabs using WPC instead of vinyl or leather? And if so, should I reinforce them inside first with a strip of grosgrain ribbon or Decovil Light?
Thank you for the tutorial. I appreciate your teaching style, very detailed. Rosie, I’m returning to sewing after several years away. I would like to sew a large mesh beach bag with a detachable, private wallet or small crossbody for my daughter, and gift it on Mother’s Day. Do you have a tutorial which meets the criteria? 👍🏼🧵🪡
Beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Now I want to do something similar on the front to slip in a sunglasses temple. I think I need a separate strap. I don't think it would fit easily in with the D ring. What do you think? Thanks again.
Hi Rosie, thanks so much for the great video. Different subject than the tabs, is your faux red border overlayed on top of your main fabric or joined as a piece? I love this look. Is there a pattern for this pouch that you can share?
Hi Rosie, thanks for this great tutorial!! I can't wait to try it! Have you ever tried setting the rivets through the outer and lining once the bag is complete?
Thank you again Rosie for another clear explanation of your methods. Almost all pouch patterns call for a No 3 zipper sewn in with a quarter inch seam allowance. Is there some some simple “fits all cases” adjustment if you prefer to use a No 5 or 4.5 zipper? When you say you “always set my zippers in three-quarters of an inch”, do you mean if you are using a No 5 zipper? Other adjustments I’ve read about say to increase the seam allowance from one quarter to three-eighths of an inch. Another pouch pattern designer says to enlarge her pattern on both sides by a quarter inch if you want to use a No 5 zipper. I’d love to know if there is a universal rule. I’ve searched and searched for one.
Hi, Gilda. If you look at the video at 1:56 and about the next 5 seconds Rosie is showing the top view of the pouch. There is a gap between the zipper and the side edge of the pouch of 3/4 of an inch. She is not referring to the seam allowance for sewing in the zipper. If your question is about the seam allowance for a #5 zipper, yes, you are correct, it is 3/8" rather than 1/4". Rosie, please correct me if I'm wrong!
You are very welcome. I drafted up a quick pouch to use as a demo in the tutorial. It was not meant to be a pattern, but you could use this on most pouch patterns you already have. Thanks for watching!
Has anybody tried this with heavy duty snaps instead of rivets? That way, I can remove the D ring if I don't want to use it for the crossbody. I think I might give it a try even though snaps scare me... Might as well get my money out of my press.
Wow - I've learnt a new technique - looks so professional on a bag. Thank you so much Rosie for all your videos which are clear and concise. I love all your patterns.
The best demo I
have ever seen. Very slow, clear and concise directions. Perfectly done. Thank you. ❤
Wow Thank you Rosie. I’ve bee struggling with adding side strap connectors! You directions are so thorough!!
Thanks Rosie. I have a bag to try it on now. It's finished & I was trying to think of a new technique to add the D rings. Thank you very much.
You are very welcome. Have fun with the technique and thanks for watching!
This is the tutorial I have been waiting for and didn't know it! Thank you Rosie, I *appreciate* all your videos. Thank you for being a great teacher.
Awww…you are very welcome. Thanks for your kind comment and for watching!
Thank you Rosie. Great alternative.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi Cheryl
Nice assembly of the vinyl tab with the reinforcement/lasting integrity of the double sided sticky tape.

You are welcome! Yes…you can definitely put the rivets through the lining and exterior. Thanks for watching!

@@pumalibrarian Thank you do much. That’s cleared up my question.
Thank you for this great idea! Do you have tutorial for this pouch?

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!!
Where do you get the D rings?
How long of a river do you use?
Where do get your double sided tape from ?
Where did you get that top fabric
Hi Judi
Good evening
Same to you
Hi
