  • GM! How do I make the bag bigger? Do I increase the stitches or use a bigger hook? Thank you in advance for your help. Have a great day!

  • @Hapi2BNapi Hi yes you are correct you will use a bigger hook or you can increase the increase rows, or you can do both. I hope that helped, thanks for watching and I'd love to see how your Swag bag came out.

  • @sachaoh Thank you so much! May God bless you as well!

  • Hi. Will it make a difference if I'd use double crochets instead of half double crochets? :-)

  • @sachaoh Hi it will just make it a tiny bit bigger thats it.

  • Ok so I've been making this bag for a few days off and on. Just a suggestion it is always good to let your fellow crafters know how much yarn they will need cause for some reason I needed a tad bit more than one skein. :) I'm enjoying it to the fullest thou!!!!1111

  • I also just found your channel, and I love it! Thank you so much for taking the time for this long tutorial lol I've been looking for a tutorial like this with lining for so long. I've never done one with lining & I'm also a newbie with the sewing machine...never used one before. Do you have any tutorials on how to use a sewing machine?

  • @restlessheart Hi thank you and welcome to my vids, no I don't have any sewing tuts yet, but they are coming soon.

  • I just found your channel, I love it, you are a Great teacher. Could you please send me the written instructions for the Fat bottom bag, Thank You(gram1152@aol.com)

  • do u have this pattern printed

  • @jgyrljeans4jesus if you have ravelry you can download it there just search up the Swag Bag

  • how do you like that crochet hook? i look at them every time i'm at Joanns! I use the bamboo handled hooks, they fit so nice in my hand and I don't tire as easily

  • @karryant Yes I love it its really comfortable.

  • @onevirtuouswoman yes I will send it to ya.

  • @karryant I like the bamboo needles as well have the whole collection but cant seem to find my I hook. I am using a regular I needle and it is killing my hand Im almost finished with my bag thou it was painful but is is looking really good

  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this tutorial..i made my first fat bottom bag and i'm loving it..i want to make another one but BIGGER..to do that do i just keep increasing in the middle?..and do i also add more chains in my foundation in the beginning?..i know you said we can do double crochet but i like the look of the half double better..

  • Hi, I began working on this bag, but I noticed that you used an I hook, I used an H hook is that alright?

  • @1975ccoleman hi yes its ok ,but your bag may come out alil smaller.

  • @onevirtuouswoman , I all ready started over with the I hook, I want to do it right like the instructions says, my daughter said nooo mommie, and I said we always want to do the right way for now, until we both learn how this craft works. Sometimes we can do that but only when we know what we are doing!!!...lol
