0913 Guys I'll leave the thread needle and hooks I used listed here on YouTube Shopping okay All the items you can buy through YouTube Shopping at the lowest prices and with all the security YouTube provides I'll also include the Leidra Acessórios link in the video description where you can purchase these materials We'll start by making 21 chain stitches I've made a knot and I'll begin counting from now on One two three four five six seven eight He made 21 small stitches and measured 14 cm long Now I make the first chain stitch and work into the second one placing my first single crochet Holding here at the top straps I'll make a sequence of 20 single crochet stitches I scored 20 points low and now we're moving on to the second lap Starting from the second lap we'll begin increasing the pace got it Interweaving a career with no raises just like we've done here and a career with raises And we'll proceed this way—I'll make a chain And for my work starting from the second career as well we'll take it from the outer side of the strap Look inserting the needle into the stitch to make a raised single crochet So I made a stitch now I make another one creating a increase here—two stitches into the same base stitch Now I keep adding a dot for each base point up to the second-to -last one Look I've made the dots and arrived at the final point Here at the last point we'll also make a increase One and two So I made an increase here right Two stitches and an increase at the beginning here Thus in the second run we ended up with a total of 22 low points Now I make a chain turn around and on the third row we're not going to increase got it So I'll make a regular point here at the beginning Here on the third lap we'll also end up with a total of 22 points Hey I'm going to speed up this career move and be back with you all soon I'm reaching the end of the third lap I'll put a dot here at the finish So third row complete totaling 22 stitches Now I make a chain and turn Here on the fourth row I'll place two stitches creating a decrease I've made the increase now I'll place a stitch for each base stitch up to the second-to-last stitch I'm nearing the end of my career I'll work the final stitch so I'll just add two dots right Creating an increase So fourth career ready with a total of 24 points So I'm going to keep working folks until I hit 34 points in my career So I'll be working on raises up to career level 14 I'll get a head start and be back with you shortly Actually I've already advanced as far as lane 14 and here in lane 14 we ended up with 34 points From now on we won't be spacing out the raises anymore Everyone all careers will have 34 points got it So I'll go ahead and share a bit more here At the end I'll come back to show you the amount I made and also the measurements Well I've already advanced my careers completing a total of 38 Now the measurements Length 27 cm Width 28 At the base it measured 16 cm We'll make extremely low fades all around So I'm gonna put a very low bassline in the direction of each career okay I'll make a mark right up here see Look right on this strap I'll place a mark at the lower part here on this terrain right Up here down here up here like that First I'll make a chain stitch Now come up here as I said look I'm putting in a super low bass Here at the bottom you can grab this little handle see Up here You can insert the needle wherever you like okay The key is making sure you distribute a very low amount to each career Assim I'll get ahead a bit and be right back with you Look I'm reaching the end here So I made the mark right here at the lowest point now I need to work on the upper part right Just like we took up those other careers So I'm gonna grab this little corner right here you see Look right at this little strap in the corner I'm making a tiny little fold Now a little chain and I'll work the twenty stitches here at the base I'll stay here at the first stitch I'll make the first one then I'll do twenty slip stitches You can count it out loud too to make it easier That's it I've reached the end I'll play the twenty-first note extremely low Now I'll make a chain and begin working the rows here So I'll set a minimal value for each career just like we did on the other side I'll leave this tip for now we'll auction it off shortly So I'll start here on this upper part of the strap Down here in the lowest part of the terrain right Then to the very end Look I've already advanced this section and reached the end I'll mark the last row right here Now a little chain and let's also work with very small stitches here at the top where we have right Thirty-four stitches I'll take the outer edge here and add a very low stitch for each base point Okay I've already worked the stitches down to the very end now I'll leave a tail of thread to cut and secure This is the front side right The one we finished and the reverse side is this one So I'll hide this thread back here—I'm using a darning needle but you can use a crochet hook too okay I'll just place it down here to hide it then trim off the excess and seal it with a lighter flame Okay I've already secured the top part here and also the initial tip here We'll need two equal parts I've already advanced the second one—look let's go They're identical right guys I made them with the exact same number of points I'll set aside these two sections for now so we can work on the middle part To start the middle section we'll begin with sixteen chain stitches And we'll make these little chains looser more relaxed okay So I'll do one two three four five I made sixteen tiny chains and they ended up measuring twelve centimeters Now I make the first chain stitch and begin in the second one by making a slip stitch I'll loop back and come to the next spot then make a stitch—kind of like a tall stitch you know But doing it this way look I grab here loop it pull off the first little leg And now I loop it and pull them all off at once At the next point I'll place a sub-bass and at the following one the second sub-bass So here we've put look one two sub-bass levels got it I loop pull the thread pull the first leg adjust the height loop again and pull everything at once I'm coming to the next point I'll play a very low note then the second very low note on the next one Now I tie I come to the next step I raise it I remove the first leg I raise it again and remove them all Two low ones one two lace up raise my leg kick one Raise high and kick them all Two low ones a loop I kick one leg up add height and kick them all And we'll end on a very low note just as we began So it turned out like this—we made here one two three four five little pipoquinhas And thus we conclude the race with a total of fifteen points I make a chain stitch and on the second row we'll work entirely with slip stitches but we'll catch them through the outer loop Inserting the needle into the stitch I've reached the end made fifteen stitches now I'll make a chain and turn And we'll repeat the first row First I'll make a very low single crochet Lace at the next stitch I make the puff stitch then I pull up a little leg add height and pull up all of them Two very low notes tie two very low notes one two Well I finished the race and this is how it turned out Now I make a chain turn my work and I'll do that row of single crochet stitches picking up the outer loop of the hook I'll make fifteen stitches chain one then repeat the row using these popcorns okay So I start with a very low setting loop it pull one strap and now I pull them all Two very low ones just like that So we'll follow this sequence of points right Popcorn and low-point runs inserted here until the desired length is reached I'll go ahead and be back with you shortly Well I've already advanced my careers and the last one I took was a low-point career So in total I've run eighty-five races including this last one okay Eighty-five races in total This piece here from the middle folks it ends up a bit like this slightly crooked but don't worry You know when we finally get the bag together it won’t show up right Now I’m going to measure it look It measured sixty-two centimeters in length by eleven centimeters in width Now we'll trace the outline here as well But we're going to keep the levels very low on the sides And here at the base we're going to run a low-point race just like we did here got it So to begin I'll make a chain stitch to create the corner here I'll place an extremely low point for each lane just as we did in the other section So I'll grab the popcorn over here Over here folks check it out—down below where we’ve got that series of low points look So I'll take it from here—where you insert the needle doesn't matter much the key is to place a tiny stitch at the beginning of each row I'm almost done I'll grab it from the direction of the last run over in this corner I'll make a chain and here as I said we'll place single crochet stitches So we'll distribute 15 low points here The first one I'll place here we need to put down 15 points I've reached the end I'll place the final dot here Look so in total here we've made look we've made 15 stitches here Now I'll make a chain stitch to turn And now let's lay down a very low bassline for each track the same way got it So I take it from the first row right here in this lower section yeah We have low points here at the top strap continuing all the way to the end I'm nearing the end—I'll work here toward this final stretch and I'll grab it from the corner look here And now I'll wrap this up at the first pause with a very low note So here's how it turned out folks check this out That spot is really beautiful those little details are great It's easy to do and at the same time convenient Now we're not going to cut the thread okay Leave it as is because we're going to start sewing the corners To begin sewing we'll leave a seam allowance here of seven stitches And we'll explain it this way each bump here we have two careers right So here we have two four six And I'm going to take this guys—look in the direction of this run in this lower section on the outside rail got it I'm taking the loop from the outside now next I'll bring in the corner loop were using to outline it right I'm just gonna bring this in here okay So got it We'll leave this part as is since we'll sew here afterward and that's where the zipper will go And this thread we'll keep it down here like this—see Here's the first point right I've closed the first point I'll come back to this one next Be careful not to skip any points or the count will be off got it So I've worked the first stitch here now I come to the second one I'll insert the needle catching only the inner leg And now here on the other side at the next point Insert the needle now I'll fish the thread from down here and bring it up top I'm dancing the needle to make it easier Now moving on to the next part look here—the inner leg piece with the inner strap located on the opposite side I take the thread pass it through here and finish Next stitch from one side next stitch from the other—always the same way First here on the corner section and second here on the middle part of the bag I place a dot here in the corner a dot here in the middle one side and the other I hold the thread and dance along with the needle like this to make it easier It's a very simple seam isn't it And also really enjoyable to sew Look how it's turning out Well I'll just sew it like this all the way to the other side Remember I'm holding the right side of the bag up here from the middle and here too right everyone The right side Right side to right side I'll stitch ahead here and be back with you shortly Well I'm reaching the end and we'll place the final dot here just as I explained at the beginning So looking at the terrain we'll count one two three right We have six points here but we'll secure them at the bottom So leaving seven points up here In this section folks of the terrain in this lower part where we'll take the point got it So I take the last stitch here on this side and the last stitch to be worked on the middle section of the bag I pull the thread and finish Now I’m going to tell you something When I got here to the end folks there were three points left right here in the middle of the bag So what did I do I took apart the entire seam and since there were three stitches left in this section I skipped one stitch here on the part you know in the middle of the bag I skipped a point here and I skipped a point here on this side Notice there's no difference—look I skipped one here you can't tell I missed a point from the remaining section which was the middle part right So if there happen to be any extra stitches here no matter which side just undo the seam and give it a little tug got it everyone Distribute the jumps so there's no gap and indeed there isn't Keep going with your bag because this bag is amazing and totally worth it okay Hey I cut the thread so we can finish this Okay I'm going to insert the needle here and pull the thread back over there Here I'll tie a knot to prevent this thread from unraveling And for the excess I'll hide it down here cut it off and seal it with the lighter flame That's how it stayed so far and now let's sew the other side On the right side up top—that's the side we outlined here look facing upward Alright let's get started everyone—let's break down the initial points here okay So we'll separate this first relief then the second then the third—got it We'll leave these three here for now I'm coming in at this point moving toward the lower section here and I'll insert the needle into this outer loop I'll place the mark Now I'll make a small knot right here on the thread to start I'm locating the first stitch here on this side which belongs to this edge—right here it is I'll thread the needle through this little leg here and pull the thread through like this Tied the thread now I'll insert it right at the spot we set aside We're leaving a little extra space here—about seven points—so we can sew in the zipper later Look I'm threading it in here bringing it through from the inside and I'll sew it just like we did on the other side Assim I'll be right back with you Look I finished the stitching and here's how it turned out—I had to skip those little dots too So we're all done sewing here right Now we're going to close these tabs leaving seven points on each side And here we have fifteen points right So we'll do it this way I'm done here right I'll leave the wire hanging out now And I'm gonna play seven bass notes right here folks So I'll mention this point I've already addressed right which falls under the lower section here I'll grab the top handle here see I'm taking the top handle from the next point here Assim And I'm gonna do a really low one two three four five six no need to press okay And seven there you go Fiz seven very low notes Since we have fifteen here in this section of the corner I'll just add one very low note to this point It's a point we have here in space And I'm coming over to the other side Here we'll count and locate seven points We haven't worked on that yet have we One two three four five six seven So I'll start right here Grab the top strap just like were doing here I'm coming from the other side at the next point Um Next stop right Two Three Four Five Six It's right here in the corner So in total we made fifteen sub-bass tracks right Because we have one right here in the middle Check how it turned out Now guys just to make the turn even better I'm gonna drop one more sub-bass right here in the corner okay One more Now I'm making a chain And I'll make fifteen single crochet stitches here I'm coming over to this side And I make the first low point One Now everyone hold it like this see with both straps okay Two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen and fifteen Fifteen chain stitches right Now I'll make a turning chain And I'll do once again fifteen low points Well I've finished my turn and scored fifteen points I'll go ahead and advance a few turns now and be back with you shortly Well I've already advanced here through the rows—I've done one two three four five six rows Each career has fifteen low points We made this flap to secure the strap folks The gold metal bracelet I'm wearing is available at Lader Acessórios and I'll leave the link in the description below Also through YouTube Shopping folks—the link is available right here in the video description and on the video screen It measured twelve centimeters in width and five and a half in length I wanted it smaller this way because I think the finish looks more beautiful And this handle it measures about twelve centimeters in width and approximately nine centimeters in height So it worked perfectly for using this handle but if you're working with a thinner or wider handle as well you can easily adjust Now I'll slide this tab through the strap positioning it as I go I'll pull this thread out here They can see that the loop from the stitch from the last low stitch is right here Alright I'll start here in the corner—I'll make very low cuts to hold it in place and at the same time I'll also improve this finish So I'll bring this here okay insert the needle into the loop and pull it over to the corner Hey pin it down so it doesn't slip out of place So I just did the first bass drop now I'm moving to the next section and the next one right here behind me too check it out I pull the string look and finish the lowest note Leave some room so it's not too tight I move to the next spot and insert the needle And back here too folks we need to figure out where the next stitch is right I'll bring the thread and complete the slip stitch Next stop Next stop right here behind Next stop Next stop right here behind I've reached the end I've finished the stitching here—it turned out like this Now I'll cut the thread to finish it off Okay we've finished one side now let's repeat the same process on the other side So I'll turn here in the same position we did on the other side right Start from this side here I'll insert the needle into the corner to bring up the thread Look I'm threading the needle right here in the corner—I won't tie a knot I'll just bring the thread through Now at the next point I'll begin counting A very low squat grabbing the bar from the outside got it everyone With the bar outside on the other side there you go One two three four five six and seven Consider your points okay so we can get it just right I have seven very low ones here I'll just make one space and here I have seven more Now I'll count here on this side one two three four five six seven So the seventh one is right here I'll secure it here on the outer loop and make seven very small stitches Well I made the seven stitches on this side counting the middle one we've got fifteen in total I'll do one more right here on this side just to flip it like we did on the other side so the finish will better Now I make a chain and turn it around And now let's go through fifteen low points So I'll show you this first one up close then we'll move to the second one okay Insert the hook and make the first single crochet two double crochets picking up both loops here on the chains I've reached the final point here—just so I can wrap this up I'll bring this initial section over to the other side I'll give it a little tug And I'll hide everyone this little tail end right here okay So now finally I'll make the last stitch So we've made fifteen chain stitches here now I'll make a chain and turn I'll bring this little strand up here so we can finish it off And now I'll make fifteen dots here hiding the tips So we're on our second lap there'll be six laps total I'll pull ahead now and catch up with you all shortly Now let's sew in the zipper Look right here in this space folks where we'll be sewing the fastener it measures 27 cm The zipper I'm going to install is 40 centimeters long So I folded the end here see I stitched it right Made a little fold And here I thought it was too open so I added a little touch see Just a small adjustment in the corner Now I'll position the buckle right here inside give it one more little fold I'll place it just perfectly there you go Use a pin to help guide it but I'm sewing it right up close folks—nice and tight That line right I'm using it I'll speed up the stitching and be back with you shortly I've finished sewing the zipper and added a small stitch at each corner to close off the crochet section here And here at the end I cut and also folded over the inner tip of the zipper right Because the zipper was larger than the opening it ended up like that Well I took the chance and sewed my own label too And that was
