Finally! An easy way to sew the handles nicely without losing my mind! You’re a great problem solver, Laura.
Thank you! Thank you! My mind was doing gymnastics trying to figure out how to do the handles
I like the way the handles are sewn - much easier than other versions!
As always Laura has amazing ideas I just love watching her. I’m so glad I discovered her a few years ago, she’s my go to for quick gift ideas
You have a really clear way of explaining, and I like that you pause while you’re doing the boring bits, eg cutting out, which we don’t need to watch. Thank you!
Thank you for your take on the knot bag. I love these bags and use a smaller version as a purse every day. The handle completion has always been a bit of a struggle with other methods of construction (a weak spot where the handles join the bag). I am looking forward to trying your version with the quarter-inch setback and sewing the handles first. Thank you. I just knew you would have a better and easier way of doing it. You always do. You are such a wonderful teacher. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks, Laura! As a beginner I have looked at about half a dozen Knot Bag tutorials but yours was the first one that actually made me feel like I could do it!! I was SOOO proud of myself as I cut and squared off my exterior and lining fabrics (Didn’t have coordinating fat quarters on hand) which is not my strong suit…then marking and cutting all the lines and curves. My pieces mirrored yours and I thought I would finally end up with a bag I could be proud of on the first try. That all flew out the window after stitching the bag together. Even though I made SURE I followed the instructions to a T where the little 1/4 inch notch is and marked my fabric where I needed to stitch it in that area, PLUS made sure to move the handles as far over as I could, it still got all mucked up in that area. I think the handles were just too close to the stitch marks and I couldn’t avoid getting some of the fabric stuck. I used my seam ripper over and over trying to get that area to work but just havent been able to . I hate to let a project win, I usually am able to fix something when I can see what happened (it might not look pretty when I am done, but I have a need to figure it out!! Not sure I will be able to on this one. I still like your method better than the others I see with the super fiddly handles. Any tips? Would a 1/2 in seam allowance/notch help? Sorry for the long winded comment! Liked & Subscribed!
@user-vm4fv6oy9u Did you ever manage to sew your bag up without sewing over the handles? I am planning to make myself a bag in silk to match the hat I'm wearing to my son's wedding and hope to avoid this pit-fall . . . thanks
Sorry! I was not notified I had a response. Yes and no. I’d tried 3 times unsuccessfully. Today, 4 months later, I rewatched the tutorial and remade the bag (yes, I saved everything, LOL). I picked it ALL apart, trimmed everything down to fresh edges and followed to a T. It was better, but still not like Laura’s, I didn’t sew the handles to the side, but the 1/4 inch slit area was so weak I had to reinforce. It’s functional I feel I’ve improved but maybe I am just not ready for this technique. I’m sure it’s me, as Laura makes great stuff. I might try another tutorial with a smaller bag to see if I have better success! Good Luck, if you haven’t attempted it yet!
Thank you so much for your reply ❤
This look’s so much simpler to make than the knot bag’s I have made in the past. I knew there had to be a better way. Thank yo so much. ❤
I love your method, Laura. It’s not the easiest, but it’s definitely the most professional finish. Thank you for the description.
I really like your instruction. You're a good teacher and I love that you don't blab about stuff that has nothing to do with the project during instruction. Awesome job as well. Love the patterns ❤
It is made without batting - Yay!! Love your tutorials, Laura. You explain and demonstrate each step so clearly. Di Hall
I’ve been wanting to make a Japanese knot bag for some time now and this looks like the nicest easiest pattern for me . Thank you.
That's the best method of construction that I've seen, thank you.
Spent a wonderful morning with the granddaughter helping her sew this for her cousin for Christmas. Great, easy to follow directions. Thanks so much!! Now to talk her into making one for gramma 😉
I made one of those this afternoon. Very pleased with it. All black and white and white and black. Thank you. My grand daughter will love it.
Excellent video and instructions - I knew there had to be a way to avoid the fiddly hand-sewing on the handles! Thank you. Just a word of warning to those like me who might want to make a more formal handbag (or is it purse). I wanted to make a bag to match a formal evening dress I’d just finished. I made one bag with the outer material and one with a lining material. It wasn’t until I got to the part where you sew around the bottoms that I realised this wasn’t going to work - the outside of my bag had different fabrics on the back and front. I now see that I have to make each of the two bags with an outer and a lining piece and then be very careful about how I put them inside each other.
Thanks for the warning. I was just about to do it wrong. You saved me!!
I wish I read this before making. I also used regular fabrics for an exterior and a lining, but ended up with one exterior & one lining both outside and in!…. it doesnt need to be reversible, since it reverses into the same bag! Haha…. Oh well, as a beginner I mess everything up the first go at it and this was no exception! (For other reasons though, the fabrics, although not as I wanted, don’t look bad as they are)
So, I just posted this same problem. Instead of matching the lining pieces, I match a lining and an exterior? Thank you.
Yes, that’s correct. When you then put one inside the other, check it’s going to turn correctly before you sew!
Thank you.@@RGertie-xq9vp
Made a lovely bag and I’m very proud of it. Only issue for me, was when stacking the fabrics it wasn’t clear which would be the two outside fabrics and which two would be the inside. Might be obvious to an experienced sewer but not to a beginner.
I have not seen a bag like this before. I think it is fun and a good way to use up all the fat quarters I keep buying. Thank you for the way you give the instructions. I can easily follow along and understand what you have done.
Struggled a bit with this one but once made, all became clear. Beautiful result so many thanks.
Just what i was looking for i have made a Japanese knot bag before but failed big time now I won't fail!
I have made many of these bags. Your assembly instructions are so much easier than how I have been doing it. Thank you!
Best handle finish….superb. Thank you.
Brilliant tutorial and beautifully presented. "Thank you" for your lovely manner in presenting, and your gentle non-piercing voice and no 'waffling'. I don't subscribe often but did so with pleasure to your videos. Of course, the pattern is super - especially designed that you are sewing the bag with the fabric flat rather than trying to navigate a tube over the sewing machine.
Thank you! I had planned on making one of these, and this vid pops up just when I’m trying to work out how to make it reversible. So simple. Thanks again 😊
I watched a video of sewing a JKB before this one and I thought "Okay, so that is how it's made", but I decided to watch others, and this was my second. When I saw you putting the handles inside of each other I thought "What. That's wrong" (in comparison to the previous video), but as you were working on it it looked a lot easier than the first video I watched. This is my go-to video for the JKB, so thank you very much for a very easy tutorial.
Hi Laura! Thank you for this amazing pattern - I have already made one and it is fabulous! I did, however, make one alteration… Instead of curving the bottom corners, I boxed them and the result was just great. Your detailed instructions in the video were absolutely perfect . Thank you so much.
Love this! I am going to add a few pockets, make it a bit deeper, and make as shopping bags for gifts - Thank you!
Thank you, very easy and pretty bag.
Wonderful video! You make it look easy!
I am very thankful that you and some other creators show your hands well when measuring and a good angle for the camera,
-i have never used a pattern before, and i have not measured exact-to-recipe before because i make clothes especially by human-measurements,
so seeing how my hand should look in comparison, and the finger-sections makes it PERFECT to what it should be. (though, a bag is much easier than a dress)
this is...an awesome pretty bag!, and tutorial.
I really like this bag. If I make it with less feminine fabrics, my 11-year-old grandson could carry clothes for overnight visits. This bag is very clever.
Never tried to make one before. It was so easy doing it your way.. And it was so quick. I'm hooked. Going to make lots more. I made a template to use. Got another 2 already cut out. Great for unusual. presents. Thank you.
I love the red you chose. I think your instructions are so clear and so is the filming. I must make one!
I DO enjoy your take on the knot bag! As a matter of fact, I LOVE IT!!!!❤
Makes so much more sense than previous methods i have used ! Thanks !!!!
Thank you. I made it within less than one hour!🎉
I have wanted to make one of these, and am so happy to have instructions now- such easy and clear instructions! I have some special fat quarters I have been saving, and this is what I will do with them!
I love your projects. You pick such beautiful fabrics. Thanks, Laura! My great nieces are finishing high school and they love a unique tote!
I'm a nursing student going into my second year next month, and I've been looking for an easy pattern for a bag to carry my clinical equipment in for a while now. This looks like it would work a treat with a thicker material on the outside for longevity, say midweight denim or vintage ticking. I'd also extend the "handle" loop so the bag could be carried around my shoulder. Sort of like an oversized nurse drop-kit, just stuff and go!
Love it! Thanks for sharing! ❤
What a wonderful idea!
I love that bag!!! Thanks for the video 😊
I love the way you explain how to do this bag.
Love this version. So easy to follow! Thks!
Love all your tutorials thanks
Oh I am so glad I clicked on You Tube today, this is exactly the inspiration I needed for a craft project/gift idea. You always have the greatest creative ideas, thank you so much!
Love the tips. I made one years ago for a lunch bag and have lost all directions. But now i can do more. Thanks 😊
So cute!!!! I can’t wait to unpack my things
I always get excited to see your posts always so interesting love to give this a try. Thanks again for an interesting project.
Love this bag and sew very easy you are the best Laura
OMG this is awesome. So easy so pretty and so useful. Surely will make myself one
Thank you! I love these and it looks pretty easy to make
Love this bag!
This is an excellent tutorial! Perfect finish. Great tricks!
This is so cute. Thanks so much for the video. Going to try and make one
Wonderful tutorial as usual! Love this type of bag, been wanting to try to make one. Thanks!😊
These are very popular and I first saw these on Pinterest. Of course pictures can confuse so it’s nice Laura did it in a video. Well it’s fun to watch her show us as we learn
I've seen a tutorial on this before, but I must tell you that your method for sewing the handles together is superior to the other videos I've watched. Also, it is much easier to finish the rest of the bag. For crocheters or knitters, this is a perfect way to keep your yarn in a secure spot and not have it rolling all over the place while you're trying to work. Trust me! This bag is also very handy to hang on a walker as it's so lightweight and easy to make in smaller sizes. Thank you for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Was recently looking at one of your videos and decided to go back to your first since utube made it easy to do. Learned a lot of new and some refreshing ideas. Well worth it. Nowadays everyone is stuck on doing one thing. No variety. Nothing new.
Thank you for doing this video. I’m going to make one tomorrow!
The bag is very beautiful, thank you very much
So clear explanation.
I LOVE this!
❣I love it, sew very easy!
Great video, cute bag! TY ❤
I just ordered this pattern, so your video is just in time! Thanks for sharing! 💛💛
Can I order this pattern?
LINDA MORRIS I ordered mine from Missouri Star Quilt Co. There are probably other places if you do a Google search. 😊
Thank you this is wonderful.😊
Very cute!!!
Looks great thanks
Love, love, love your version of the knot bag. As always a beautifully finished project. Just one question...How did you get to have such gorgeous hair!
Fun!!I need to try.
Super cute bag❤
That is fabulous
Awesome!❤
Love it
My 2nd bag. The first bag was made from a different tutorial. The strap finishing was awkward. My 2nd bag following this video was so easy. Thank you!
So cute
❤Thanks❤
Thanks Laura
Brilliant thank you. I understood your instructions.
thank you
I love this bag! I love the directions even more, so much easier.
However, do you know if it's possible to do just 2 colors with the same directions. I've tried (times 2) and I keep getting one side of the bag one color and the other the opposite color on the other side ( light weight canvas on the outside, light weight muslin lining). I know the point of the bag is using 4 fat quarters, but I was intrigued with the directions and how much easier it looked.
Help please. Thank you.
Thanks so much for creating this video. Your explanation was clear and precise. Do you think this same method can be done creating a boxy bottom instead of a round one?
❤️
What's the advantage of having the quarter inch difference on the outside edge, as opposed to just snipping a notch?
😊
Is it fair to say that the handle technique can be used even when they are the same size? Say with a traditional hobo / slouch bag? Could we quilt or use batting to make a bit sturdier if we wanted? Also, what do you think about boxed bottoms here? New to sewing so I appreciate the guidance and thank you.
I love your videos. I want to make this bag. Where is the pattern? None of the links take me to it nor can I find it on the website.
This looks easy and fun to make. Are there printed instructions for this method?
I'm a beginner so I'm confused as to which piece is stuffed into the other. Do you stuff your inside lining into the exterior pattern? Please advise as I have two different pieces of material. One for the Outside pattern/color and a completely different one for the lining. Your material looks all the same to me. Please someone help me out on this issue. TY! ;-)
Hi Laura: I’ve made 2 bags. I love them, but what am I doing wrong? When I complete the bag, the pieces that are supposed to be the lining end up one on the inside and one on the outside. Please help. Thank you.
You can use the cut-out fabric & make a small drawstring bag for make-up or small items! Laura made a previous video on that...check it out!
I've recently become interested in a Knot Bag, but the directions for sewing just didn't make sense to me. Why birth your bag through the handles and not the bottom of the bag, where it's less obvious if things aren't perfect? I had an idea of how to do things, but your idea is so much better than mine. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Please advise the finished size of this Japanese Knot Bag. Thank you.
How do you lay the material if you want the inside's to match?
I can't understand sewing the quarter inch edge, seems to be done with wrong sides together? I thought it was good not seeing the sewing done but got to this part and I changed my mind. As a newbie sewer now confused 😕
I am having a real problem with the handles the seam allowances what do you do
Hello - I just watched a video you did 5 years ago on a simpler way to cut bias tape. I don't have to cut bias tape very often so while doing it I remembered why! I can not seem to find the correct brand of rotary cutter that does not skip little pieces of thread, just enough to ruin any hope of quickly gathering up the strips to assemble them. Do you have a recommendation for a high quality rotary cutter? Thank you, Dona
Those little skips are caused by a dull blade or a cutting mat with deep grooves. Your cutter is probably OK
Where can I get the pattern for this bag?
I just can’t seem to cut the pattern. She’s upside down and for some-reason having trouble
