Thank you. You are very generous, giving patterns for free, and a very good teacher. I enjoy watching your videos in order to learn. Thank you again. Isabel from Spain.
5/10/22: This was SO informative, and I learned something new! I'm definitely going to be using this technique going forward. Thank you for the PDF and for taking the time to post this tutorial.
Thank you for the pdf. I really appreciate having these patterns for the tabs. I will certainly use them to improve the next bag I make, where I would probably just have sewn the handles into the top seam. It will be terrific to have these attractive options instead. I am a fairly new viewer and subscriber and I have been enjoying your videos and have learned a lot from each of them. You have an excellent way of presenting material. You speak clearly, have thought through and prepared what it is that you want to say (it's surprising how many presenters don't seem to do this and just speak off the cuff without preparing exactly what they want to say). And the material you present is clear and very easy to understand. Each video is very entertaining as well as informative. Your expertise is clear to see. Many thanks. All the best from a new friend in Canada.
Hello Sara ! This was a very very informative video! I am a beginner sewist , I am intrigued and interested in making bags. Your teaching style is excellent. Definitely see that you are an expert in making bags , not everyone can teach , but you can! Your tips are great and I am here to learn from the gurus like yourself. I subscribed and I believe I am going to enjoy learning from you. Your offerings of advice and free templates are indicative of a kind and warm person ….God Bless you !! Thank you for a great tutorial and please keep your videos coming . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I am looking forward to your “ ping” that a new video is available. Great content and great value.
I was looking for something like this a few weeks ago. I made my own but your's look so much better. 8-) 1" rectangles, 1/2" swivel clips and D-rings, magnetic snaps. I would say these are my most used pieces of hardware.
Sara, the video is amazing, I want to ask where you can buy those pliers for conversion, they are great. Thank you and greetings from the Czech Republic
I'm re-making a purse I have loved for 3 years and making adjustments. My biggest one is the Purse tab was in between the zipper and the body of the purse. Unfortunately it didn't hold well. I had to sew it to the body but I doesn't look nice. In my new bag I want it to look nice. There is no gusset. Would I sew one side to the front body and the other side to the back body? I want it to hold up. Using quilting cotton and fusible fleece
Hello, I’m struggling because I am making tabs from a rectangular rings and the fabric continues yes to slide to the smaller side of the rectangle. Why is this happening? Would interfacing prevent this?
Hi Ruth! The fabric line is called Outback Wife. I usually like leaving the edges of cork, leather, or vinyl raw rather than try to turn them, which might be tricky with such small pieces and the stiffness of the substrates compared to quilting cotton.
I have maybe a dumb question...what are tabs on bags used for? I see a lot of people who make with small tabs (that doesn’t have the hardware) and it just seems like it’s a silly little ‘frill’ (that’s not really the right word is it?)
If you watch from the 8 minute mark, you'll see Sara attach hardware to them and attach the tabs to the bags. Then you'll attach the straps to that same hardware. I find hardware blings up a bag and takes it from homemade to handmade!
I understand what hers are for and I asked what the ones without hardware are for. I’ve seen people that make small cosmetics bags and sunglass cases that use a small piece of fabric and sew it onto the side of the item and I don’t understand what they are for. It just looks like something weird is hanging off the side of the bag for no reason. Like in this sunglasses case tutorial ruclips.net/video/xGo3TEZhojE/видео.html I just don’t understand. I don’t know if I’m missing something and that these really do have a purpose....

Usually d-rings, but after watching this, I think I will use the rectangles more. Thanks for another great video!

Excellent! Just what I needed because I don't have a lot of fancy connectors.
Thank you for doing this video...so helpful for us bag people who are a bit hesitant. Crystal
That was such a great tutorial! So much great information. I would never have tried that. I can’t wait to make a purse with those!
So happy it was helpful Karen!

Very nice.. thank you
Are these mostly used for purse straps?
Hello, I’m struggling because I am making tabs from a rectangular rings and the fabric continues yes to slide to the smaller side of the rectangle. Why is this happening? Would interfacing prevent this?
Nice video...in regards to your “turner”, does this work well with leather, vinyl, cork fabrics? Beautiful fabric....is it Tulia Pink’s?
Hi Ruth! The fabric line is called Outback Wife. I usually like leaving the edges of cork, leather, or vinyl raw rather than try to turn them, which might be tricky with such small pieces and the stiffness of the substrates compared to quilting cotton.
I use rectangles a lot in my bags.
Where did you purchase the material turner you used?
Is there an instance where you would have to use a square piece as opposed to a D ring? Thank you.
I think most of the time it's simply aesthetics.
I have maybe a dumb question...what are tabs on bags used for? I see a lot of people who make with small tabs (that doesn’t have the hardware) and it just seems like it’s a silly little ‘frill’ (that’s not really the right word is it?)

Why did you glue the cork together and not just use a single layer, since you won't see the back side? I'm going to try soon!
I use the “D” rings the most.
snap faster and rivets
