    I'm not a good seamstress at all just a beginner ,I simply love an appreciate the way you explained everything you do, just like using the same thread I'd never think to do that, and sew top stitch on the busy side of the material i
    ,its not seen ,I'd never think of that ! Goodness your amazing, explaining everything,thank you !!

    Great bag for that walk I should be doing three times a week! Maybe I can get my motivation to get outside more often…..show off my craft skills too! Love that this got card slots … and this looks easy , magnetic button, not zippers, web strap , not fabric strap. Looks like you got rid of my excuses 😂 for making a crossbody bag to wear while I walk or run that quick errand.
    Well done Christine 👍👍👍
    Great tutorial with plenty of tips , love it ❤️.

    Love this bag Christine. I have made a few bags like this and I find them great if I'm going into hospital for day surgery just to keep your phone and glasses and small stuff in..My daughter works in WA on a mission and find them better than using her good leather bag..they are so much safer than ordinary bags because they cross over your body. I'm going on holidays in a couple of weeks and hope to be stopping in to see you and your shop.

    I think $30 even in the US is reasonable. I know a lot of people say OMG you should sell it for me but I disagree with that. I always ask myself 'what would I pay?". Anyways we make to sell right so I would rather have a lower price and sell my inventory than try to get a lot more and sell less and have to lug everything back home.

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  Год назад +1

      Thanks Heidi. I've stopped asking myself what I'd pay as I'm way too stingy and always looking for a bargain. Instead, I ask myself "what am I worth?" I actually prefer a higher price on my products as I can always reduce it if they don't sell. I can also give bulk discounts to some customers. Fortunately I just charge labour as my material is mostly free😁

    You can cut the lining longer and just fold it over as the reinforcement to the magnetic clasp to save sewing time later. It adds up to a lot of time savings in batch sewing.

If you can recommend an easy way to do it, I would love to hear about it. Thank you for your videos.

    I really like your cross body bags quick and simple to make. Do you have a pattern for the cross body bag that sit more on your chest so it will fit under your coat or jacket, almost like a mans inside jacket pocket.. Almost like a fanny pack but horizontal, it will hold your passport, credit cards and some cash. This type of bag would work very well at the airport, it is always hard to have your boarding pass, passport in your hands along with your carry-on luggage. It would keep your valuables out of sight. There are so many pick-pockets out there now. What are your thoughts.

      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  Год назад +2

      I'd say go for it! Tell him to be himself and not try to copy personality of others. People will love him for his own style. Also he'll need to learn how to edit his videos. I might have 3hrs of video that I have to chop down to 20min, so there can be a lot of work to do there. There's lots of free video editing software out there with tutorials. He'll need a fast computer with lots of space too. But you can build on this.😁

    Are your viewers buying your bags to give their opinions on where you should put your label? Put your labels whereever you want, they’re your bags, not your viewers bag.

      Thanks RG. I do value everyone's opinions though, and I know I can't possibly get everything right🤣
