I knew the clothing sewists would be experts at this! It was a little overwhelming for me, but before I sewed bags putting a zipper foot on my machine was overwhelming. Learning new methods is always a good thing!
I loved your tutorial. Everything turned out well but I wondered if you ever put anything on the bottom of your bags to keep them from sagging? I used canvas as a lining and quilting cotton as exterior.
You are such a great teacher. I have been following your tutorials for about one year or so, and your methods have not changed, which I do so appreciate. I like your intros, your explanations of materials to use, and your step-by-step directions. Please continue doing it that way, as I am a visual learner. Reading a pattern becomes a foreign language for me...lol Thank you we need a lot more instructors such as yourself in this world. Before I purchase a pattern, I always hope you have a tutorial on it.
Have my pattern and can't wait to make this! My brain wheels are turning on ways to modify this to be birthed and to piece the exterior sections together! Love the vinyl you used on both :D
You know I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if you just leave a hole on the bottom, sew the lining and exterior right sides together, then flip out.... I mean that should work, right?!
@@OklaRoots I would think so! I ended up reprinting it, and cutting all the edges out that weren’t supposed to connect, and then laid it out and saw what I wanted to be a “section”. I have three distinct sections (it reminds me of how Lauren Mormino does her UNG hobo bag). I then added 1/4th inch to the straight edges where I’ll be connecting them (I don’t cut on the fold, I trace it mirrored). I was going to do the bottom through a zipper pocket method but you could totally just do it through the bottom I would think! I hope this made sense 😅
Have you ever tried to use waterproof canvas as both the outer fabric and the lining? Do you think that would be too bulky for a domestic? I just ordered a lot of waterproof canvas so I was wanting to try it but didn't want to waste material if it's not going to work out.
Do you have any other suggestions where to purchase the vinyl for the outside of the bag, the website you recommended they are sold out of just about all the vinyl, and I am not having much luck finding it anyplace else.
I can’t believe ! Last night, I watched a tutorial about this bag with another laddie !..this is not the first time I think about one particular bag and You come and BOMMMM!.!..crash it lol 😂 I love it 😻 I love noddlehead bags and definitely I will make it with my flamingo water proof fabric through your tutorial !..thank you again
I love love love so much your video! You create beautiful bags with beautiful fabrics. I have a little trouble understanding English (I'm Italian) but I follow you and I'm watching all your past videos. You are very good, compliments
What if you want to use webbing for the straps? What size would be best (1in or 1.5 in) and would you keep the webbing as one piece or cut it into 4 pieces?
I love how well you show us how to make our bags with grace. I've watched you from the start! Can you share where you purchase your bag tags? I just love them!
love it! I haven't made my first bag yet but I'm binge watching your videos because I'm getting inspired to make one. I'm just not sure if my Singer 9960 will be able to take the vinyl fabric. I'm really new to sewing.
This will be my very first bag by noodle head I have looked at this bag for years but I never took the class to make it because it was always a $90 class I found this video I was able to watch it and because I’ve done many bags in the past and because of her step-by-step excellent teaching skills I am now in the middle of making two of them for my daughters I’m so excited when they are done I will send pictures thank you so much for your teaching skills look forward to watching more of your videos
You are an excellent teacher! I just purchased this pattern and searched for a tutorial…so happy I found you. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much. 💕
I just used this tutorial to make the poolside tote - thank you for laying out the steps! I mostly sew garments, so some of the instructions were confusing to me. Having the visuals and each step laid out helped tremendously!! I think I’ll make more of this pattern, it turned out so great. I made it at 85% of the original, making it a little bit more of a traditional sized tote. Thank you again 😊
I bought cute cotton fabric and have been looking for something to do with it. I bought this pattern and canvas for the outside (with the intention of using my cotton fabric for the inside), got ready to make it and realized I was in way over my head. So incredibly grateful for this tutorial! I wouldn’t be able to make this bag without it!!
Thank you so much, I bought this years ago… got stuck trying to understand the pattern and It has been set aside UFO. I saw the pattern was done again with a different cover and wondered if it was re-written. I think I can get my great bi bag done now. ✨
The basting technique on the accent pieces is a very old technique that I learned back when they still taught home ec in school…waaaay back in the 70s. It works like a charm on curved edges that are hard to fold, but it may take some practice to get the hang of it. I like to use my iron with steam to get it to lay flat.
You definitely can, but PUL is a lot lighter weight than waterproof canvas. The waterproof canvas gives the bag a firmer structure. So with PUL it may be a bit more floppy (unless you make the exterior nice and firm)
Love this bag I was soooo hoping this was a tutorial when I saw it on your Instagram story! Cannot wait to make one just got to get through all the others I'm making as gifts first then this is 100% going to be a "me" bag ❤
🤩WOW! Well I think I'm gonna plan a trip to the beach now😁 Great video! That bag is BIG and AWESOME👍Happy Memorial's Day!Thank you and as always stay well
I made the same mistake with my first bag...stuck the embroidered monogram right in the middle of the front zipper bottom panel. Got everything sewed together and put the darts in and surprise! My embroidery was no longer centered. Oops! Had to tear everything apart and remake the front panel again because I’m a bit of a perfectionist. LOL. Lesson learned!
So stinky cute lol. Seriously Jess, it is! I hv to make this for my daughter. She be wanting a big bag for the beach. There's endless use for this bag 🤗 I no that my sisters are going to want one too 😱 Thank u so much for ur time n patience 💓
@@OklaRoots thank you for using a domestic! When this popped up in my feed I was thinking you would use beasty for it but was excited when I jumped ahead and saw that you didn't. I love watching videos on industrials but always question if my domestic will be able to get the job done.
You are my favorite instructor! There's no guessing with your videos. I appreciate you. And I love this tote!
I used this gathering method for hemming skirts all the time. It’s a great trick!
I knew the clothing sewists would be experts at this! It was a little overwhelming for me, but before I sewed bags putting a zipper foot on my machine was overwhelming. Learning new methods is always a good thing!
Such a great beach bag! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

This would be a great knitting bag. Would fit a sweater or blanket in progress.

Awwww thank you so much Betty! That means a lot to me.
I made my 3 year niece one of these bags at 80% and it turned out soooo cute! She used it to pack some toys for the van when we were on vacation 😊
That's such a great idea!! Ok, now I have to try reducing the size. Thank you!
@@OklaRoots you won’t regret it!
Omg your shirt Jess!!! Ok back to the bag…so adorable. I’ll be making one soon!
I forgot to mention...No hardware 😳 can it get any better 👍
OMG... this bag is amazing ❣️❣️❣️
Right?!
@@OklaRoots 💖💖💖
AWW.....its good for baby stuff too.....
Purchased the pattern! I’ll be toting this baby around this summer ☀️😎☀️ Thank you for the encouraging video!
You and me both Elizabeth! It's comfortable to wear, as well, which makes it such a great summer bag.
Thank you very much Jessica!
Thanks Shayna!
@@OklaRoots anytime! 😎😎
Such a great tutorial. Thank you! We are headed to the beach at the end of the month. I had better get busy!! 😊 ⛱
Get to it Laura!
I had a mushy vinyl strap I knew my top stitches would not turn out.... So I used rivets every inch or so.
Sooooo pretty! 💓💗💖
Thank you!
Great bag to carry needlework projects, knitting, etc.

Love your blouse! You need to call those folks and get a link!
Haha thank you! It's from Anthropology
I really really loveeeee fabric choice. I don’t know how do you find such lovely print fabric .😍
Plz do the John duffel bag by uh oh 😫😫😫
Have you ever tried to use waterproof canvas as both the outer fabric and the lining? Do you think that would be too bulky for a domestic? I just ordered a lot of waterproof canvas so I was wanting to try it but didn't want to waste material if it's not going to work out.

Do I have to do the fold in the handle?
Wow, using the two different colours in the lining makes it so easy to see how to box the corners. Great for beginners
That's a good point! I think it has a nice design element too.... maybe?
Yay! Been holding on to this pattern and hoping you’d do a tutorial on it. This is the bag to have as we head back to normal this summer. Thank you!
It is sooooo much fun to make!
I love how you make me feel like I can make anything! You are so energetic I wish we could be besties 💙💙
You 100% can do anything. I believe it!
This would be so cool with waxed canvas and cotton webbing handles, and water resistant canvas lining. Indestructible! 😂
You mention in the video that you may make another video using the soft and stable stabilizer. I am just wondering if you ever did. Thx!
I can’t believe ! Last night, I watched a tutorial about this bag with another laddie !..this is not the first time I think about one particular bag and You come and BOMMMM!.!..crash it lol 😂 I love it 😻 I love noddlehead bags and definitely I will make it with my flamingo water proof fabric through your tutorial !..thank you again
I'm in your brain Ronie!
Since your my fave bag making youtuber can you please do a video for the blue calla thistle pocket tote please. Im a visual learner
This is a great summer bag. Thank you for sharing this with us.
You are so welcome!
If you use waterproof canvas, do you still interface it?
This is a great tutorial ! I tagged you on my Instagram. Thanks!
OMG! I have the pattern, how exciting!!! Those curves though kind of scare me, but now is the time to give it a try!!🙌😅 Thanks for the video!❤️
You can do it!
I love love love so much your video! You create beautiful bags with beautiful fabrics. I have a little trouble understanding English (I'm Italian) but I follow you and I'm watching all your past videos. You are very good, compliments
Very cute bag!! Question: if using vinyl for the accents can't you just cut it smaller (along the fold line) instead of folding the edges in?
Oh for sure! If you are good with the raw edges then just trim them down first
Ok need I neeeed this bag! Brilliant tutorial!
What vinyl did you use for the straps??? I’d LOVE the link!!!!! Thanks Doll!!!!!
What if you want to use webbing for the straps? What size would be best (1in or 1.5 in) and would you keep the webbing as one piece or cut it into 4 pieces?
I was wondering the same thing😊
Can you do a bad like this in Florida Gator Fabric?

How far up do you measure to center a panel?

You know I've seen it before in clothing patterns, and I love seeing it in a bag pattern!
Portugal, Cascais, Bissece.
Can I just glue or tape down the top facing instead of using a basting stitch and making gathers? Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
I’d like to see you make more Noodlehead bags… like maybe the Cresent tote 😊
I bought this pattern last weekend. So happy to find your video! Thank you!!
If I can't find waterproof canvas can i use PUL fabric for internal?
You definitely can, but PUL is a lot lighter weight than waterproof canvas. The waterproof canvas gives the bag a firmer structure. So with PUL it may be a bit more floppy (unless you make the exterior nice and firm)
Took me to days to complete but im so pleased with how it turned out!! Thank you for an awsome tutorial. Xx
Where can I purchase bag tags, I love yours. I want to design my own
Love this bag I was soooo hoping this was a tutorial when I saw it on your Instagram story!
Cannot wait to make one just got to get through all the others I'm making as gifts first then this is 100% going to be a "me" bag ❤
Where do I get the pattern
The reason I ask is because I'm thinking about getting her pattern.
I always learn something new. I love the tip for putting a mark at the pivot points.
🤩WOW! Well I think I'm gonna plan a trip to the beach now😁 Great video! That bag is BIG and AWESOME👍Happy Memorial's Day!Thank you and as always stay well

You would think I would know better by now!
I love the zipper binding technique for a pocket!
Thanks!
Love it
I made mine this weekend! Thanks for the great tutorial! Just need whip up some accessory bags for it, and it will be ready for the beach!
Yay!!! So much fun for the beach!
This is JUST the beach bag pattern I've been looking for! So excited to make this ❤️ thank you!
It is the beach bag to beat all beach bags!

Um, where is the DNU 1541??? I must see you create with it!!!
Haha that video is coming!
I LOVE YOUR SHIRT. The bag is AWESOME too!
Thank you!! The shirt is very loud, but I love it!
Sometimes the best lessons learned are what not to do! Love that you share those with a smile. Good job!
I feel like I make a mistake every time I make a bag. There's just no way around it for me!
Never sew a bag, but you make it look so easy
I can't wait to make this bag. Terrific!!!
Let me know how it goes!
I love this bag!!! I have so many bags to make thanks to your tutorials!
Haha I'm glad I can add to your list!
Jess why don’t you use your industrial machine? Just wondering
I do, just not for tutorials. I’ll have another video out soon with Beasty
@@OklaRoots thank you for using a domestic! When this popped up in my feed I was thinking you would use beasty for it but was excited when I jumped ahead and saw that you didn't. I love watching videos on industrials but always question if my domestic will be able to get the job done.
Cannot wait to make this!
Ouch! This is an on fire tote! Love it!
Thank you!
