In this video, I walk you through how to assemble and sew the Reena Handheld Bag by Tobistylx Bag Patterns. I walk you through all the steps of making this bag and share some tips and tricks along the way. 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 open 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 a 90/14 needle. I used Moonglow Vinyl and quilting cotton for the exterior pieces and Zipper Overlay, and quilting cotton for the lining. For thread I used Gutermann All Purpose Polyester Thread. You'll want to use the needle 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, Tobi, through her email provided in the pattern. You can also leave comments below and I will reply as soon as I can.
I'm looking forward to seeing all your beautiful Reena Handheld Bags made and posted on social media!
