FREE PATTERN! Sunshine Wristlet Crossbody! A Beautiful Update To One Of My Favorite Bags!

The Sunshine Wristlet is one of my all time favorite bag patterns, one I suggest for beginners EVERY DAY. Bagstock Designs came out with a new pattern, an enhanced crossbody version of my favorite bag. And it is WONDERFUL! I’ve already made myself a couple, gifted a couple, and have requests from loved ones for more.

In this tutorial I switched up just a couple things, and I have found my perfect combo to make this bag just right.

I just put my current project in the naughty corner to think about what it's done, and am relaxing with a wine watching this tutorial. relaxing!!! I have made one of these already and it was a hit, my MIL wants me to make her one so I'm getting inspired. Thank you Jess, I LOVE your tutorials.

You could also do a double sided strap (one side vinyl other side cotton) if you still want the vinyl look! Saves major on bulk and looks great!

i have watched several Sunshine Wristlet Crossbody videos, and this is the best. Thank you.

[loriharpster]

You are a fabulous teacher! Thank you!

[Mickey-jnhz]

Your instructions are so clear and precise….

[susanhenry]

Just finished this gem. Couldn't have done it without you and this video. Many thanks.

Ok so I JUST MADE MY VERY FIRST REAL HANDBAG!!!! You couldn't beat the smile off my face! I cannot believe how nice it turned out! Already planning my next bag. Maybe a Heidi Swoon Foldover turned into a crossbody bag🤔😍💕 I am so freaking Thank you!!

[caroldufur]

You are so good to give all the links for materials used in tutorial. Your instructions for making the bag are wonderfully clear and easy to follow. I am so glad to have found your tutorial channel, will stay in touch for more. Thanks

Another great tutorial! Thank you! I was almost shouting that you'd forgotten to open your interior pocket zip but in the end I'm glad you didn't hear me because you showed how to fix that should anyone else make the same mistake. It's not fatal. I just want to add that you and Sara Lawson of SewSweetness have my favorite tutorials. You have great camera angles and thoroughly explain everything in a way that I can completely understand. Although, you always make me laugh. Love that! Thank you for sharing your time and talent! It is much appreciated.

I’m so glad I found your channel. I absolutely LOVE how you teach!!!! Thank you for staying in real time. That gives me the chance to stay right with you!!! I hope you never change your way of teaching, unless only to improve ( where, I’d hardly know that answer) THANKS SO MUCH! 💕

[maryhutson]

If you zigzag around your foam first it makes a huge difference. Just something I learned from one of the pattern makers. Love your videos. Thank you

[debbiestreet]

Awesome tutorial. You make sewing much easier for me. Thanks!

[VickiHess-ws]

Thanks! You are such a great teacher to follow along with. I appreciate you sharing this video!

[robinbryant]

I’m new to this bag making. You’re an awesome teacher, very patient. Thanks for all you do.

[carlottalane]

Thank you for sharing the bagmaking technics on You Tube. You do very well in explaining and teaching and it has helped me alot. I really appreciate that there is no music playing when you are talking. This is very distracting to people like me who may have trouble hearing with music playing louder than the speaker. Keep up your terrific instruction of making bags.

[gingerminske]

A great teacher and makes you want to sit down and make a bag. Thank you

[paulasearle]

Excellent teaching video!!! Very direct and to the point…no extraneous talk…I loved it!

[liamcintosh]

Love the bag and the tutorial. I have not used Decovil Light so that was very helpful for me. Also installing the top zip was a new technique and was very clear. The tip on opening the forgotten zip just magic as I know most bag makers have done this at least once.
I have a tip that I learned from More Me Know that has worked really well for me especially for a bigger bag. For the final assembly. Leave the bottom lining open and the interior zip pocket bottom open. Birth the bag the through the bottom of the lining opening. Then pull the lining through the interior zip pocket bottom and stitch the bottom lining closed right sides together. Place your lining back through the zip pocket opening now pull the zip pocket bottom through and sew together as shown in your video. I found this method much easier because the bottom lining opening is so much bigger that the zip opening.

It is so helpful to show the time stamps which is a very useful to check back whichever you are up to . Thank you,
