ReplyDeleteI love turning flat pieces of beautiful fabric into wonderful bags and say I made them! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the Emmaline bags I see and look forward to making many..
ReplyDeleteWhat I like best about bag making is that I can choose what fabrics I use and know that there will not be another bag that looks like mine.
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns. They are so easy to do and look great when done.
ReplyDeleteLove being able to customize things with my favorite fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the end result! It's very gratifying to make something that I can use from fabrics of my own choosing.
ReplyDeleteWhat I live most about making bags is the creative freedom! I love making a 3-D item out of a flat piece of fabric!
ReplyDeleteThe best part of bag making is the finished product. Not going to lie, sometimes the bag making process is hell. But the end product is so worth it. And the feeling you get when finally finished (especially if it's a pain bag) is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love choosing my own favourite fabrics and turning them into something useful!
ReplyDeleteI love making bags. They are my owe and know one has one like it
ReplyDeleteI like making a bag that suits me!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's instant Gratification. All of you wonderful designers make the plans and then I pick my fabric and make the,. Picking and making is what I do best!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE having a fab new bag and as someone above mentioned, I absolutely love when someone asks where I got it and I get to say that I made it myself! Such a great feeling! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the satisfaction of making a bag.. I also enjoy figuring out how to make a bag when not using a pattern
ReplyDeleteI have been sewing for 47 years, but must say, that bag making is every bit as enjoyable as making my kids wardrobe when they were little. Thank you for such great patterns to "create" from.
ReplyDeleteI just love the amazing feeling of achievement after finishing each one.
ReplyDeleteI love the creation part of making the bag! Making something out of nothing :)
ReplyDeleteLove bag making it is my way to get my creativeness out :)
ReplyDeleteI love my NCW and will be making the TMT very soon! The NCW had lots of steps but was very well explained in the pattern and easy to follow along.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to carry my creation everywhere & share it with everybody on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI love that I can pick the fabric and customize it to my needs
ReplyDeleteLove your patterns and I love seeing how everyone makes unique and beautiful creations.
ReplyDeleteI love your pattern and look forward to making many more
ReplyDeleteWhat do I love about bag making?? That's easy! Having incredible unique bags and purses, giving gifts that are hand made, one of a kind, AND with emmaline they are actually pretty high quality pieces. Thank you for this give away!!
ReplyDeleteI love the process of fabric selection (I usually use 2 or 3 coordinating prints in my handbags. The best thing though, when someone compliments one of my creations, is to be able to say, "Thanks, I made it myself! "
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of your patterns and I love your metal findings. When I save up some more, I will get another order :)
ReplyDeleteI love making bags because I can have the bags that I love in whatever fabric I want (and they make fabulous gifts).
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to try the buterfly closure
ReplyDeleteI love making one of a kind items wi th a story behind th em, best conversation starter!
ReplyDeleteI love the completed product.. it so satisfying to have made something functional. I also love seeing the same patterns and all the possible interpretations from other people.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved sewing things...I used to sew clothes then when into dolls and baskets....now I do a lot of quilts. I have made many purses and bags for myself and friends as gifts. I love picking out the fabric with what goes with the person I am gifting it to. I love your Necessary Clutch Purse.

I love making one of a kind personalized bags for friends and family
ReplyDeleteAmazing patterns Janelle. Love making bags and yours are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love making bags because I get lots of compliments on them!
ReplyDeleteLove your bags! And thanks for throwing my name in the hat .....my BD is Saturday so wouldn't it be a great BD present to me!
ReplyDeleteI never made a bag; however, I have one cut out and ready to sew together. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love to see what I can make, new purses, techniques, when they all come together and you have the greatest bag that you made, that is the best!
ReplyDeleteI started bag making about the same time I started quilting. Some fabrics are better as bags than quilts, bags are faster and more about sewing for MEMEME than the house. :)
ReplyDeleteI love making something someone uses everyday and loves! It's so special!
ReplyDeleteI love making bags....
ReplyDeleteI love my bags are one of a kind!
ReplyDeleteI love all your beautiful patterns and supplies. One stop shopping....thank you..
ReplyDeleteI like to make things with my hands, I love to sew too ... I love fabrics, purses, bags so sewing bags is just perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteI have a handbag obsession and would buy them all the time. My hubby finally said enough was enough and no more buying handbags. So I decided to learn how to make them. Technically I'm buying fabric and hardware not handbags so he can't complain!
ReplyDeleteI love that bag making is a combination of art and science. There's the art of choosing fabrics, lining and patterns. And the straight fowardness of bag sewing (which is so much better than the finicky-ness of clothing). Thank you for great bag patterns.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janelle. You know I love your work!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to make a bag that is totally unique and then getting all the compliments while using it. What could be better?
ReplyDeleteI love knowing that my sewing skills are improving with every bag I make. I usually make a pattern first for myself and then make more for friends.
ReplyDeleteI like to make bags because part of me is amazed that I can create something unique out of otherwise flat pieces if fabric. Also no one else will have a bag like mine..
ReplyDeleteLove sewing bags since it is something which can be done in a short time .
ReplyDeleteI love sewing bags because I love love love a new bag and it's more fun than buying one.
ReplyDeleteBags are always a pick me up! I'm never "too fat", "too short", too ANYTHING for an amazing bag! <3
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun sewing up the Butterfly Swing bag this summer during the Bag of the Month club! I love to sew bags more than anything else,and look forward to the next one every time I finish one.
ReplyDeleteI like using unusual or quirky fabrics for my bags. It makes people take a second look.
ReplyDeleteThe satisfaction that I have made some by myself and no matter the out come I am still happy I did it and the next one will be better as you learn from your mistakes - so mistakes is a motivator to do more lol
ReplyDeleteI love choosing the fabric & making sure that the straps are long enough -- I guess it would be the customizing it to make it mine. :)
ReplyDeleteI love sewing bags and purses with good quaility hardware. It add so much to the bag.
ReplyDeleteI love the feeling I have each time I make a new bag, it is like Wow, I can really do this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't start out sewing wanting to make bags, but as I made more and more, I realised it is where I can really be unique and show my creativity
ReplyDeleteI love the satisfaction of making something both beautiful and useful
ReplyDeleteSince I started your patterns, I cannot stop now ...
ReplyDeleteI love that I have something truly unique and durable. I hate how store bought items seem cheap and fall apart so easily! And we all love our kids, but that daily freedom is a gift from the heavens!
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of accomplishment and it's the only thing that makes me say "hey, I'm proud of me!"
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely wrapped to have a chance!

ReplyDeleteI love �� love making bags I've not begun my ncw I'm a bit chicken so checking out everyone's mistakes teeheehee xxx
love emmaline bits and bobs, patterns and help, have found my 'thing' and it is BAGS!!
ReplyDeleteI love taking a gorgeous flat piece of fabric and turning it into a 3d useful piece of art. I love the maths of pattern design and fabric cutting (strange, I know :) ) I love working out how to make a bag practical and stylish at the same time and I love having a reason to buy fabric!
ReplyDeleteAnother great giveway! Thanks so much, Janelle. I am reorganizing my sewing room right now so I can room to sew more bags. :-)
ReplyDeleteI read your question AFTER I commented. My favorite thing about sewing bags? Actually, there are two things. I love choosing the fabric, but I love even more the surprise when the bag is assembled at the end, when you follow a pattern. Your directions are very clear, but the bag is always a mystery while you are sewing--a good mystery!
ReplyDeleteI like create an original bag with my choice of fabrics !
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway !
I like that no 2 bags are the same and each one can be "individualised" for the recipient. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give away - when I first saw the pic I thought it said $2000 store credit! I was thinking you had gone a tad crazy, then I found the "." and breathed again. lol.
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to win as there are several items in your store i have been looking at for a little while.
Thanks for the giveway. I love making bags because they always fit, ha!
ReplyDeleteThe satisfaction of using my own created bag!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing is the sense of wonder when I see a finished bag, and realize that it was made by me! Thanks for the giveaway, Janelle.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to make something for myself. It's great to have something different from what's in the shops and finding funky fabrics to use!
ReplyDeleteI love making bags because I can customize them with pockets and details to the way I use them. I change almost every bag pattern I use, and that's the joy! Oh, and all the fabulous fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI love sewing bags and I'm proud of them :-)
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße,
Kathrin
I love to make bags that suit me with my own color/fabric choices and choosing the right style bag for my needs and tastes.
ReplyDeleteI love the satisfaction of creating something uniquely my style and having it appreciated by my customers ♥

ReplyDeleteI love how I can personalize a bag so easily. I've carried my fave bag for over a year now, and I still smile every time I spot it across the room!
ReplyDeleteI love most that I can make a bag! They're a little scary to do when you don't know how, but when you figure it out it is so empowering.

ReplyDeleteI love making bags because they are uniquely mine.
ReplyDeleteI love the originality of the bag. You can have the same pattern as someone else and come up with something completely your own.
ReplyDeleteI love bags. So, I can't think of a better way to show off my creativity than to carry one of the bags that I made.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know when I try it! I really want to make a bag, but keep making other things first.

I love "making". Not just bags, but anything. Make, mend and make do is our family motto. It gives me joy to use things I've made and see my family do the same.
