In this video I share with you an upcoming HUGE project I've been working on for the past year and a half! And I also teach you how to make and attach an adjustable shoulder strap to your handbag projects! The technique I teach you here is a lot of fun, easier than some other techniques and the results are a super sleek and professionally finished shoulder strap. There are no exposed raw edges anywhere and you can take your bag from cross body to a shoulder bag in a few seconds. ! I think you will enjoy incorporating this technique in your next bag project.
My new VIDEO BAG OF THE MONTH CLUB will be released soon and if you want to be kept in the loop about it make sure you add your email to this list: craftygemini.c...

Love that you not only show how to make bags but that you offer instruction on elements of it. Such as the strap video. I spent way to much time on it until I watched your video. As a newbie, I really appreciate your tips. Your enthusiasm is great!
You are amazing, Crafty Gemini! I can always count on you to make confusing steps clear! Thank you.
This video is amazing!! I was so confused watching other tutorials this made everything so clear. Thank you so much!!!
You are such a good teacher. I like that you explain why you do this or that, like why you don't sew the straps together with a straight line. I saw that in another video and it didn't make any sense to me since the person didn't explain. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
At last!!! I now feel confident enough to do an adjustable slider strap, I have done a couple of bags for my Daughter but had to consider her height for crossover bags straps as once made they couldn’t be adjusted! Thank you Vanessa, you are the only one that has explained and shown how to attach them, I have looked through many bag book illustrations but always got confused. Sonia from uk x
Still timely after all these years!!! I can always count on finding what I need in your extensive library. Thanks Vanessa.
I just successfully added a strap to a bag pattern I always use I wanted an adjustable one thank you so much for speaking clearly enough to understand :) my hero LOL :D
Yay! Glad to hear it!
Thanks Vanessa! I made my mom a cross-body bag with adjustable strap for Mothers' Day, and used your tutorial to understand the strap configuration. Great tutorial!
Thank you! I've watched several videos on this specific skill but your tutorial resonates. Honestly, I think it's because you're so up beat and positive and don't fill your videos with "watch out for pitfalls and errors" which are intended to be helpful but can be intimidating. Instead you focus on the steps and helpful tips.
Thank you for sharing this amazing tutorial. I feel more confident in sewing this adjustable strap now.
Perfect! Thank you for your expertise, I am making my sister a Dr Who shoulder bag for her birthday, you make such confusing things to do.... You make them achievable. Thanks again XXX Trish
You are the most dynamic instructor on RUclips. Love watching your videos even if I am not making anything. Your enthusiasm is catching and you really do make things easy to follow. I always recommend you to my friends. Thank you!
this is a tutorial for the adjustable strap, it is not removable which is the only way I have done mine, I just used your method on a purse for a pre teen.....worked great, Thank you for sharing.
I was ready to pull my hair out till I found your video. Thanks so much for making this doable with clear, concise instructions and your video.
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for your videos!
I didn't watch your video to learn to make the strap but I learned something none the less. Thank you, very good video, to the point and perfect.
Thank you for this excellent video. I refer to it time and again when I’m making a bag. Sometimes a year goes by and I need a refresher!
LOVE LOVE your projects Vanessa! I've made so many things using all the scraps I've collected over the years. Keep your projects coming.
Thank you for the sneak peak of bag #2. I have been a professional seamstress making and altering wedding gowns for 30 years. ( That sure makes me sound really old, but I started as a teen!) I have also done a little quilting over the years. I have purchased your 5 and 10 inch slicers and am excited to put them to use. I love bags and am also excited to join your bag of the month club! Thank you for sharing these sneak peaks.
You are a great teacher thank you for all you share with us.
This was a really good video. I have never made a adjustable strap before. Can't wait to make one. Thank you Vanessa
Great idea to provide kits! I've kicked around that idea before but was never sure if people would be interested or not. Loving this bag videos :)
This is the only tutorial on making an adjustable strap that I could understand - thank you so much! It finally works!
This was really good. Your instructions are very detailed and easy to understand. It doesn't leave you with any process questions at all! I'm going to check out more of your videos.
You are my saviour! I finally was able to install an adjustable bag strap. Everyone else had me ready to be committed!🤪
Great job, as usual, Vanessa. Will you please show how to add a sliding cushion, like the one found on a laptop bag? I load my crossbody bags to the max and would like to have a cushion between my shoulder and the strap. Thank you, and I look forward to the video series.
LOVE the basting glue idea. Makes it so much easier to manage when it is time to sew the strap.
I watched your first video i am so excited about these purse projects i am not a novice i have been sewing for years but on that note haven't sewn a project in seeral years and i am looking at getting back into it ...Thanks for your awesome tutorials
You are awesome Vanessa! Thanks for all you do to bring us all of your many talents. Love using glue whenever possible, especially putting in zippers. I follow you on instagram and love seeing the pics of your adorable children and how they are following in Mom's footsteps. You're living the dream!
I know that this video is from 2016, but I just stumbled upon it. I love the way you teach and I've commented on your video tutorials in the past. You make everything look so easy. I've learned a lot from your videos and I'm a beginner.
As always, your explanations are so clear! Thank you for the details on the "stringing" of the strap through the adjuster.
Thank you so much Vanessa!! I’ve been struggling with trying to figure out how to make the adjustable strap on my cross-body bag and you broke it down easy peasy for me 😁👍
I followed exact instructions using quilting cotton with woven interfacing. Strap was too thick to push through the one inch slider. Reduced strap width to 3 inches and has same result. Next time I won't interface ends of the strap.
i have just found you on youtube and i must say I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS !!! I am discovering so many things to use on my projects. thankyou for sharing 💋
Vanessa! Thank you so much! I really appreciated how you showed attaching the straps. They looked so strong. I love the ⬜ with the X in the middle. Thank you so much! You've made a beautiful handbag
Vanessa!! Can an adjustable strap be added to a purse that has the strap sewn in to the construction of the bag? In other words, omitting the two D-rings?
I would like to know how also! Thanks
Excellent tutorial just what I need for my bag project
I am totally blown away that you're using regular elmers glue to baste. I've been using fusible web on all my straps, and it takes forever. Now I know I can save money as well as time.
Beautiful demonstration
Thank you, thank you, thank you Vanessa!!! I love the way you teach!!!
What's the brand name of your basting glue? Love your video's, you take your time and explain everything very well.
Love, love, love your video - clear, concise directions. I'll definitely be looking at more of your videos!
Brilliant! Clear tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks. I make lots of purses and tote bags but have never uses basting glue, next time I will try this idea.
Thank you for another great tutorial. Was wondering if you might want to demonstrate making a larger bag (like a sport bag or gym bag). I am going to work on one soon and think you would have some excellent tips that would make my task much easier!
You do such a great job on your tutorials. I just went to your website and purchased the PDF and video lesson for the Tote Bag! All ready watched the video, now I just need to make the bag!
Thank you for your instructions, very clear. I finally was able to do it, thank , thank you!
Thank you for making sense of the adjustable strap. I always love your tutorials!
Just wanted to let you know I love this instructional video on adjustable straps. Looking forward to joining your Bag of the month club soon. Thank you.
Thank you for your tutorials, just finished my first purse and put on adjustable straps, I made this for a dear friend. Thank you again!!! 💚
Just what I was trying to do! Ty Vanessa!!!!
That backwards L trick is genius! Thank you!!!
I have never heard of basting glue, which I think is an awesome idea. Does the glue clog up your needle or machine?
Bank you soo very much. You do a wonderful job. Do you have a video on putting pockets inside a purse
Many thanks for the adjustable strap tutorial been scratching my head with this now I have actually done it thanks to you Janet xx
This was the tutorial i needed!!!! Been wondering how to do the strap this way, since not two people are the same i need the adjustable strap! Thank you :D
Thank you so much for all the free tutorials! The Lord bless you!
I made a granny square purse, I want a strap like this but also want hardware I can choose to connect to my pants or wear a cross body strap...do you recommend prices to disconnect to switch out straps
after all these years i still come back to your videos to refresh my fading memory.
All of your videos are so informative. Thanks so much.
this tutorial was just what i needed, thorough to the point and best of all easy to understand...your bag of the month club sounds amazing, will it be go at your own pace...for instance if i don't get to the December project until February will i be able to see the vids when i am ready....thank you again crafty Gemini so glad i found your channel
This bag is so cute and I LOVE the fabric you use. i would love to do it but can't quite afford to join the group yet.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I just had one question. I just want to know how you attached the other d rings to the purse where the zipper was placed. Were the D rings sewn in before you put the zipper or after. Were they sewn on the outside of the fabric by top stitching?
You are really rocking these bags, Vanessa!! I really love this Kelly Bag! When will you be launching this program?
I love this. Thanks for the great instructions
Thanks so much Vanessa, love your videos. Very helpful. lots of love vicky x
Thanks Vanessa. I am excited to make this soon after the zipper.
Thanks TheCraftyGemini. Awesome and always perfectly explained ! Greetings from Brussels, Belgium !
Another great tutorial thanks Vanessa .
Thank you so much, Vanessa!!
👍I love watching your videos and they have been a great help , easy to follow instructions , your the best x
Four inches wide to fit in a 1 in clasp. Is there a general rule of measurement for figuring out how wide fabric has to be? Would this apply as well if you're using faux leather as well? Or does it need to be a different size to account for the thickness of the faux leather? Thanks.
how did you attach the tabs and d rings to the back of the bag facing up? That is what I want to do as I find if you attached them to the sides, the handle/strap tends to hang to the front or back, not even. Thank you.
hey - love your shows. can you have a video on Zippers - on the different type of zippers
what type fit to what project. so if i have original idea i can "mix and match" the right element to my project (P.S. from Israel, you have one of the the top quality video in this field in my opinion)
Love it
So detailed. Thank you so much
I love sewing with you
💯💯💯💯💯💥
Very clear and understandable
Thank you
Great easy-to-follow video. Need to practice this, though! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills.
Thank you so much the detail is great
Can you share (or does anyone else know) what fabric collection you used for this bag? I love the navy and lime fabrics!
This was great! How did you attach the short straps with the D rings?
Yes!! I got it!! Thanks! Can't wait to try! Need to get some sliders tonight! 🤓
Yay!
Just made my strap and it was easy. Thanks.
You're awesome, I felt like that was rocket science before I found your videos. I subscribed and I hope to do that someday make a whole handbag. I sew by hand untill I can get me that little mini machine w/ a back stitch. :D
I love how you teach , show me how to sign up for the bags please.
Thanks for the easy to understand video
I love the way you did that strap! and I wanna try that glue!..
thank you for the amazing tutorial, I love the way you sew the fabrics together for avoid the bulk...:-)
Great information and very clear (as always). When will the cost of the club be published or have I missed that information? The link above is only for email notifications of the club. I think I have signed up twice looking for pricing of this up and coming club. Thank you so much for all your videos through the years.
First of all I would like to say that you for all the good videos that you do and congratulations on having your own company as well .. I just have one (?) and that is where do you buy all your hardware and interfacing material =)
Thank you Vanessa!!!
Very good tutorial. Nice details. Loved it. New subbie
Thank you so much for this vid!
What kind of glue are you using that can set that fast with an iron?
thank you for this tutorial. I successfully attached an adjustable strap to a purse I made.
thank you so much for this video, It is amazing :)
Is it possible to get just specific bags from the bag club? There are only a few bag styles I would ever make and can't afford to spend the money on the entire club series.
Yes. they are all listed individually on this page. You can sort through and select the ones you'd like to sign up for: craftygemini.com/product-category/pdf-video-workshops/. Hope that helps!
just cool cool cool i love hand bags i going to love it thank you so very much
I love that I can come back and refresh my techniques by watching the video tutorials you prepared again and again. Thanks so much for the information!
What kind of interfacing are you using for this particular strap? i.e. Pellon #? Please would be most helpful. TIA
