Making an Everyday Messenger Bag 🤍 Sewing Vlog

My first sewing project of 2024! In this vlog I'll show you how I created a basic, but very structured, bag that I can use everyday. This year, I intend to focus on sewing and otherwise acquiring basics that will create a stronger foundation for my wardrobe. Statement bags are cool and all, but I needed something that would go with everything no matter what actual garments I'm wearing.

“If you see a stray cat hair, no you don’t.” 😆 This is such a great bag, just right in terms of pockets and usability and going-with-everything. And beautifully made. Chefs kiss. 👩‍🍳

Beautiful work. Whenever I find a really well made vintage garment at antique malls, the expert construction fills me with joy 😍 Definitely feeling that joy with this video too. Thank you Stitchess ❣

[navybluebunny]

I LOVE THIS! Gonna try to make my own because your design seems so much more practical than bags I find at the store. Also, have you ever thought about making and selling your own pdf patterns? I love your style and you’re so good with instructions I would definitely buy from you!

[BlueHospitality]

Loved this! The finished bag is so satisfying to look at!

[HolisticCupid]

i am always so inspired by your sewing videos. you are so meticulous and careful with your work and i appreciate it so much because i myself am very impatient when it comes to sewing. watching your videos reminds me that its ok to take it slow and making sure everything is done correctly is important. i would love a vlog or a sit down video about your current clothing ethics that you mentioned at the end of the video. <3

I love a good staple bag like this! It’s so versatile!

[annabeatrizzimmermann]

this is so nice!!! i have really been struggling with deciding how to approach making an everyday bag (how many pockets, construction process, materials and step by step organization) and this was very helpful, and entertaining! see you next time <3

[spidermonkeylover]

Omg i was literally thinking yesterday how i should sew a messenger bag!!

[jackolantern]

It looks great! Your videos always inspire me to work on my own projects

I know that going from what you have to making a sell able pattern is lots of work. But maybe it would be cool if you sold the pattern for this in your shop?
