I do love the pattern and will make it again soon. I truly love Ororosa patterns and your tutorials as well. Keep up the fantastic job. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I use the pointy end of embroidery scissors to hold my binding. I had a stiletto and it didn’t last long. The embroidery scissors cost much less than the stiletto!!
Hi Siah, Just wondering what the reason was for the way the zipper was done on one of the Lining pieces. What was this suppose to do, give a short cut, etc? I feel that was just weird doing it that way. Please explain, Thanking you in advance. RC
What kind of light do you have on the top of your machine? I’ve had different ones over the last few years that fit on the back, or under the arm. None lasted long and I need the room under the arm to make bags. Thanks.
Ok for dummies like me, when you use white lining please say if you are using the front or the back lol.....I just put the slip pocket on the wrong side. I guess I should follow the pattern as well but I get into it and just listen to the video sometimes. :)
Hi Kassiah I love your tutorials! How can I make the Zenaida backpack a little bigger. My daughter is in dance and wants the backpack for her 🩰. But she would like the backpack a little bigger.
Hi... Can you tell me what the name of your chalk pencil is and/or where I can buy one? I need something like that for mt vinyls and leather. Frixion pens just don't cut it. Thank you. 😊

I would have to make the plaids match.

Just the designers choice on how the pattern is written really
I agree!! Tore my hair out!! Had to do it twice; and put a note on the instructions to do it the “normal” way next time!!

It came with my machine, but I know they offer the same type of light on Amazon
@@SiahSwag
Thank you.
Do you think the pattern could be printed like 5% or 10% bigger to make the bag bigger?
Yes for sure

Hi. I really like your videos. Could you share your Alibaba supplier? Thanks
Thank you so much. I prefer to not share my supplier because I know sell hardware and other things on my site.

Love it.
Very nice
Beautiful Bagpack !!! How wide did you cut the bias strips?? Thank you for this video
They are pre cut, on a roll from amazon. When folded it is 1/2 in wide.
@@SiahSwag Thank you
What kind of thread do you use to sew your bags?
I use a bonded nylon or bonded poly thread, weight 69-70
@@SiahSwag thank you
Working on my first one now... would it be fine to omit the front handle?
Yes of course!
Do you think the bag would look good without the side pockets?
Yes I do!
Hello!could this bag style be made in all cotton woven fabrics? Thank you!
Yes it certainly could! Just interface accordingly
@@SiahSwag Thank you!
Where do you buy your thread? Do you use bonded poly or nylon?!
I use either! I like them both. I am going to have some bonded poly for sale on my site in the next week or two
@@SiahSwag wonderful, I will wait then!
What kind of thread do you use?
I sew with Tex 70 bonded poly thread, I sell it on my website, it will be back up on Monday the 19th
Hi Kassiah
I love your tutorials! How can I make the Zenaida backpack a little bigger. My daughter is in dance and wants the backpack for her 🩰. But she would like the backpack a little bigger.
I would start by printing the pattern at 110%, but not sure how that would all print out. I don’t have a ton of experience in enlarging many patterns.
@@SiahSwag Thank you so much for your response. That’s exactly what I did. Hopefully it turns out good.
Hi...
Can you tell me what the name of your chalk pencil is and/or where I can buy one?
I need something like that for mt vinyls and leather. Frixion pens just don't cut it.
Thank you. 😊
My website now! siahswagbags.com/collections/sewing-supplies/products/white-chaco-pen
@@SiahSwag Oh wonderful...
Thank you. I'll go shopping now. 😉👍
Do you think is easier with the binding
I don’t know if it is easier, just a different method of Bagmaking.
Hi Kassiah, Do you have a link for the chalk pen please?
I am putting them for sale on my site this Sunday!! SiahSwagBags.com 😀
@@SiahSwag just set a reminder on my phone thanks!! My chalk leaves a mark on my vinyl
where do you get your labels made?
Metal ones are from Alibaba.com
I like to use a thread zapper to cut and melt off my threads.
What’s a thread zapper??
Hi Siah, Please sharpen your scissors. :)
