The Bestie Bag from Blackbird Fabrics is one of my all time favorite bag patterns. It’s a classic crescent bag with beginner friendly instructions (and no serger necessary!!).
In this video, I make the Medium size with a self strap.
All fabrics and notions used are from Blackbird Fabrics:

AYO!!!! I just followed along and made this bag without a single meltdown. This has never happened before and it's all thanks to your AMAZING, thorough tutorial and well made pattern. THANK YOU! I can now make my dream bag in all kinds of variations. I am STOKED. Great stuff 100/100 would recommend.
Guess why LV wants to boycott fakes because their quality cannot be that good *condup*
Just stoppet the video for a second after I watched the topstitching part along the bottom. A great tip to at least make half of the topstitching easier - do it after you stitched the bottom to the first side, easypeasy. And as someone else commented - press as you go along - a key to make your projects look professional.
That’s what I thought too
Can’t recommend this more!! I made the quilted version of this bag so the layers were thicker and topstitching was so difficult… luckily I saw this comment before making it and it really helped. 20:16
This was recommended to me and honestly KUDOS on the quality of the tutorial. I had no plans to make this but might now just because this is so clear and straightforward!
Great job! Great angles and details! 🎉
A tip…avoid lining a bag with dark fabric. A lighter fabric helps you see items inside the bag more easily.
And easier to sew for me, I really struggle with dark fabric 😂
But keep in mind it will be filthy very quickly 🤣
right~~~

I really love how your taste and style are always so chic. My favorites are the *condup* leather backpack and the Swarovski pavé diamond ring so gorgeous. Thank you for your suggestion
super great, made this from scratch without a pattern for a friend, thanks
The variety of textures in the bbkbags pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Just started learning how to sew and this is my first project! I bought the pattern a few days ago and then you released this 😮 So excited to try it out. Thank you so much, this tutorial rocks
Did you finish? I’m not great at sewing and have never really finished a pattern through and through. Was it doable for a beginner? 😀
^im wondering this too!
I made this from an old pair of cord jeans and I love it 😄 mashed it together in an evening ready to take out tomorrow 🎉
Great project, and I’m impressed the position of the zipper foot riding over the zipper when you did the top stitch.
Hi Sydney, just found your channel ….. what a FANTASTIC tutorial. You made everything so easy to understand . Thank you so much 💖💖💖
I really wanted to make this bag for a trip I’ve planned. It’s a little more than I was expecting so I appreciate the video.
I bought the best bag sewing pattern during a sale Blackbird had 1-2 weeks ago. I haven’t gotten around to sewing it yet and am so glad you beat me to it with the sew along. Thanks for the detailed instructions and helpful tips!
you're a great teacher, can't wait to try this!
Just finished sewing mine and this tutorial was SO helpful, clear and easy to follow along
I did a really scrappy one! LOVE this pattern!
Excellent tutorial, and excellent results! Thank you. I now want a green corduroy bag like this ..
I really love the bag and the trousers. I will definitely make both. My daughter wears exactly these styles and I would too. Thank you. Make more videos…..please! 😀
Oh I need to try this. You explain this so easy. What a great teacher!!!
A superb tutorial and good fundamental understanding of sewing as I learned so many years ago. Lovely to watch. Thank you Sydney!
This is an excellent tutorial!! Thank you for making this! Your bag is so cute, thinking i may need to make a corduroy version for winter if my first attempt goes well!
This has inspired me to give bag making a try for the first time. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Looking forward to more!
Great tutorial I’ve been working on my first Bestie bag. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. I had no clue that I could lift my presser foot up higher than when you just release it. lol still a beginner but I’m learning every day
I’m a huge fan of the Love to Sew podcast and follow the success of both Blackbird Fabric and Helen’s Closet. 👏👏 I’m keen to make one of these babies, so happy that the pattern you are demonstrating comes from these clever gals. Thanks for posting!
OMG! I've been following you on tiktok for a little while and have been in love with your quilted version of this and now here you are showing up on my feed here! I'll take that as a sign to finally make this bag!
Somehow the *condup* Classic Chanel Flap Bag is a must for me
Thank you for uploading! This is going to be my first sewing project so this video is very helpful!
Is there anyway you can also make a video on how you quilted the red bag you made and the bows? With details just like this one! Please and thank you ❤
I’m planning on it! Probably after Christmas though.
Yes please and thank you!
Yes please!!
Will be adding this to the list of projects I want to do!🤞🏼❤️
this is a really excellent tutorial Sydney, thank you sm!!! I've taken a break from sewing for a while but I think this may just entice me back in
very good tutorial!! i can't wait to try it after i finish my semester later
Great tutorial!
wow thank you so much for sharing, it is beautiful, i love the color as well
I absolutely love this❤
great tutorial! so easy to follow and great accompaniment to the pattern. I made you red quilted version with the bows
You can pass the zipper pull just by lifting the needle. No need to move the foot.
Oh yes- I'm making this!!
This is EPIIIIIIIC 😍
Those notches are ginormous
Please do a tutorial for that pin cushion on your wrist.
I’m currently following your tutorial and making the bag! The zipper part is not as perfect as yours… but since I’m a beginner I can live with the imperfections 😅. Thank you for the video! I’ll try to add bows wheb it’s done.
Your machine seems to handle all these layers really well. I'm a bit worried about how my machine will handle the bulk (a basic Janome). Any tips?
Please can you share the measurements of this bag all of it
I’m impatient so I’ll use an iron on interfacing and skip the lining.
Will also buy strapping and swerve making it myself.
Fingers crossed all goes well.
If you're new to sewing and reading this, I am begging you to PLEASE IRON YOUR SEAMS AS YOU GO. People who have been sewing a long time can probably get away with doing this, but I swear it will make your life easier. Yes, it adds extra time... but do you want your project to look crisp and professional or look home-made? Take the time and do it right.
Merci beaucoup 😊
Does the top sticking have a purpose or is it for aesthetic reasons only? I recently bought the pattern and can't wait to get started, great tutorial!
Is anyone selling any of these completed bags? I LOVE this design but would never be able to make it myself 😢
How to make it please
Wonderful , where can I get this pattern please ?
Not convinced by the *condup* pack? Come and give it a try, it won’t cost much anyway
how much fabric do you need for both the lining, outside fabric, strap and so on because i can’t find it in the video thank you 🫶🏼
You need to download the pattern.
❤❤❤
You shouldn’t snip the zipper. Using a fabric marker would be the best choice. If you must snip, you should use a lighter to stop the zipper fabric from fraying.
Strange, my pattern says cut 2-Self; 2-Interfacing (optional) nothing about lining!!!
Patrón is free? 😢
how much of each fabric did you start with? like do need a whole yard of the inside and outside fabric?
The fabric requirement chart can be found on the pattern listing: www.blackbirdfabrics.com/en-us/collections/bestie-bag-pattern/products/bestie-bag
I love that bag! question, what size of needle did you use for this fabric?
I just used a regular universal needle!
Noticed that you didn’t get an answer to what you actually asked. My suggestion is to use a size 90.
Do you have a pattern for this adorable wrist pin cushion?!
I don't, but here is a link to a similar one! www.amazon.com/Rolybag-Cushions-Elastic-Pincushions-Needlework/dp/B0C8TWL7LY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2C1SLV0ARRZVP&keywords=wrist%252Bpin%252Bcushion&qid=1704396448&sprefix=wrist%252Bpin%252Bcushio%252Caps%252C154&sr=8-5&th=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=sydneygraham-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=58a47557fc04d4ae4af93cb3953b8b2c&camp=1789&creative=9325
So cute, thanks!@@HiSydGraham
Is the bestie bag pattern similar to the crosstown crescent?? ✨
They have similarities, but not exactly the same
Hello, first of all, I would like to say thank you for teaching this beautiful and practical bag. Honestly, I wanted to know if there is another way to get the pattern of this bag other than the link you posted? Because my country is embargoed and I can't get it 🥲🥲🥲
I can’t seem to find how many yards I need😭😭
The fabric requirements are listed on their website www.blackbirdfabrics.com/en-us/collections/bestie-bag-pattern/products/bestie-bag
@@HiSydGraham Im dumb pls point it out, where is it in the website bc it isn’t in the pdf pattern neither. I cannot find the yards of fabric, inches of zipper etc😭😭
The zipper length is listed on page 6 of the pdf instructions and the fabric requirements are on page 8. If you're still having trouble, I'd recommend reaching out to Blackbird's team.
@@HiSydGraham thank you!! I somehow managed to open all the pdfs(all sizes, medium, large, print at home etc) except for the one titled instructions so I was so confused when you mentioned page 8 when none of the ones I opened had page 8. -this led me to open each one again(on my laptop this time). Anyways, I found it- I was being a stupid. Thank you😭😭
I opened my baby bestie bag instruction file too many times before saving it like a dummy.. do you think I could follow this video and it be the same? I’ve already got my pattern printed and cut out😅
what is a staystitch?
I wonder if you can diy the FP Movement Overachiever Sherpa Sling Bag with this pattern 🫣😱 it’s my goal right now
