In this video, I walk you through how to assemble and sew the Howie Bowler Bag by UhOh Creations, the August 2024 Bag of the Month Club Pattern, and share some tips and tricks. This video is filmed like a sew along. If you don't want to watch the part where I sew, or am doing other things, you can always fast forward or adjust the speed of the video, so it is faster. However, there are times I give tips and tricks while sewing. I figured filling in some of those moments with some helpful information, makes it a bit more interesting to watch.
Also to note, I do not give any measurements, show pattern pieces or use any measuring tools on camera, in any tutorials I film. This is for the protection of the pattern/designer and also because I often film tutorials during testing and measurements or other things can change. So, to ensure the tutorials are accurate and match with the pattern, I don't give this information. You will need to have your pattern open on another device, printed or on your computer, to follow along with each step and be able to refer to measurements or seam allowances given. If you have the video open on your computer and want to also have the pattern PDF open on your computer, you can minimize this YouTube video and move it to a corner on your screen, it'll be smaller but, you can still see it and have the pattern open as well.
The machine I sewed this bag on is a Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini and I used Schmetz Microtex 90/14 needle. This bag is made out of quilting cotton for the exterior and lining. For threads I used Gutermann All Purpose thread. You'll want to use the needle, materials and threads that work best for your machine.
For more details on the products I used and where to purchase them, see further below in this description. I make no money and don't gain anything from mentioning these companies and their products. I want to give this information to help you source the supplies I use, if you like them and/or want to use them.
If you have any questions, please reach out to the designer, Tara, through her email provided in the pattern. You can also leave comments below and I will reply as soon as I can. To note, I don't always get notifications, which means I may not see them for a while after they are left. Due to this, if it is extremely important and you're needing help right away, please do email the designer.
I'm looking forward to seeing all your beautiful Howie Bowler Bags made and posted on social media!
