Hello Love the video tutorial. Just wanted to know what interfac ing you used for this project? Thanks, Teresa.
Hi Teresa. I used a medium weight fusible interfacing
Thank for this amazing tutorial. I’ve been really struggling with zippers and zipper tabs so this is extremely helpful.
Great. I’m so glad it helps
Thank you so much Lisa for another great tutorial ❤ I'll be attempting this one soon ☺️ What do you use for sewing weights?
I tend to mostly use pins but my sister bought me some lovely weights for Xmas from Foxglove & field which look like cotton reels and have liberty print of them. They’re very cute
Great tutorial, you really explain everything well, thanks so much
Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say
Just found you. Looking forward to exploring your videos.
Lovely. I hope you make lots of lovely things
Hi, did you get your cotton wadding off Amazon? if so do you have a link? Thank you
I didn’t. I got it from a local haberdashery shop
Nice table 👍🏻 Could you say please, what kind of table tops you were considering putting on KALLAX?
I’m actually just about to buy it now. I’m buying a single piece of conti board. It’s very similar to the kallax material and it gets cut to size
Hi, thank you for the video. I want to make 2 cushions without zipper. Is it difficult to add lace ribbon to this model? 🤔
Not at all. Just position it where you want it and then sew it onto the cushion piece before you sew the edges together.
@asewinglife Thank you very much. I'll try :)
Thank you ❤
You’re welcome
Great video! I like how the inside seams got binings. How tidy it looks!
Thank you. Yes, it looks lovely inside.
Very good pouch and so spacious
Yes it fits quite a good amount
Fantastic video as always :)
😀
Thanks for the excellent instructions. Very cute pouch and looks easy. I have never done a zipper before. I will gather my courage and refer to this video.
I promise that it’s really easy
great video🫶🏻💕💖
Thank you 😀
Amazing as ever 😊
Thank you 😀
These videos are always such an amazing quality, you can see all the time and attention to detail you put in ❤❤
Thank you 👍🏼
Hi, Lisa. Happy New Year. Hope you're keeping warm. Have a good evening, from me in 2 degrees c, London!
Happy new year to you too😀I’ve been enjoying the snow this week
Hi Lisa, very new to putting in zips however with your help I have managed three pouches all different sizes (cutting zips to size). One with boxed sides the other two flat as I needed them. Many thanks
I’m really glad it was helpful
Thank you for your precise instructions ! Great zipper pouch !
You’re welcome
Thank you for providing an easy to follow tutorial. I searched several places and yours was so very clear and simple. I made a zip pouch following you step by step. AWESOME. Subscribed!
That’s excellent 😀
I love the bag especially the extra stitching down the sides and the bottom. I'm wondering what the lining will look like inside as it's not got the extra stitching down the sides too if you know what I mean?😊
Hi Mine looked ok. I was quite happy with the long not being included but you could make the staining include the lining if you wanted to
Second tutorial of the week! I'm very new to sewing and your videos have been a great help to start my journey 😊
I’m glad to be of help
thank you for the clear instructions. i followed along and could easily adapt them to my own measurements to make my pouch a bit bigger!
Brilliant
Hello Lisa Thank you so much for the lovely box zipper pouch. Just made my first one and I will make many more. Your Pattern, instructions and the video made for an enjoyable stress free afternoon of sewing on a hot summer's day of 35.5 degrees.Kind regards. Emma in Canberra Australia. 😺
Thank you Emma. That does sound like an enjoyable afternoon
Where have you been all my life. Soooo easy😂😂😂😂
😀😀😀😀😀
So easy to do
Excellent
My favorite zip pouch video, and I've watched them all. I do love your clear instructions for the side tabs. Also, thank you for giving us a brief view of your sewing technique, so I could work out when to use the zipper foot, and what side to put the needle on. Subscribed and looking forward to more excellent videos from you!
Thank you. I’m really glad you found it helpful
Although I find the instruction for inserting the zipper fantastic, at no point are we ever told, either in the video or pattern, the length of the zipper. do we just wing it an hope its the correct size?
Hopefully this is sorted now 😀
Am I blind? Nowhere in the pattern am I able to see how long the zipper is supposed to be?
Hi Donna Hopefully it’s all sorted now that I’ve sent you the pattern with the zip measurement on it 😀
9 inches
Thank you. Very well explained. I'm about to make a pouch following your instructions. :)
That’s great. I hope you enjoy making it
very nice. Thanks for not using twenty yards of double sided tape and just using clips instead. Some of the folks doing videos are not sewing much other than sticking stuff together with double sided tape first on every seam they sew. Nice pouch and love your techniques.
Thank you. I don’t really ever use double sided tape, sewing is much better 😀
Thanks to you, this is now the ONLY way I make bags! lol With results like these, why would I try anything else? Thanks so much for posting this ❤ God bless you!
Oh you’re very welcome. I’m really glad it has worked so well 😀❤️👍🏼
The best tutorial of them all. And I've watched a bunch! I made my granddaughters pouches to hold their new gel pens as part of their Christmas gifts. The only thing I did that was different is, I applied interfacing to the outside pieces only. I thought it would be too bulky if applied to both sides. They came out perfectly. Thanks for sharing your video. I'm looking forward to watching your entire library. SUBSCRIBED!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I hope your granddaughters enjoy the pouches 🎄❤️
Very clear and well explained. thank you very much
You’re welcome
Loved this. I think I will add a lightweight interfacing for some heft and box the corners. But your way is great for a quick and easy bag to make in a hurry. Thank you!!!
I’m glad it helped.
Very nice bag
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it
0:24 I've never made this before
I hope it was successful
Being a newbie with sewing, zippers seemed daunting until I came across your video. Plenty of other videos assume too much, for me anyway, and I find myself pausing and replaying parts often. Your video explains and demonstrates the steps nicely. Thank you so much!!!!
That’s really great to know. I always try to assume that I’m talking to a beginner sewer so I explain every step. I’m glad it helped
Best how-to pouch vid I've come across so far.. and I've watched a lot. That you take the time to mention what to directionally do with the zip when sewing up the sides is what most others are missing. I'm still practicing adding zips to pouches and bags but this vid makes it clear in the detail and steps you provide. I made my second one along with you during your vid, pausing the vid to complete the steps, then starting it up again to move on. Thank you!
I’m so glad it helped. Thank you for your kind words
A really good tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you
Very nice! What is the measurements on both sizes.
Which measurements would you like?
The straps, and how far did you come in on both sides. I want to say 7 inches because of the width of the pocket.
I am a beginner and this video was a big help. It definitely boosted my confidence with what I can sew. Thanks for the video, keep it up!!
I’m really glad. I hope you enjoy your new sewing journey
Great bag!
Thank you
I’m not sure if it’s my device, or the link to the pattern, but when I click on the duffle bag, it keeps saying “oops! Something went wrong.”
I’m afraid I don’t have a pattern for the duffle bag at the moment. The link to the patterns in the description takes you to the full length video to make the item which should help. I’m not sure if that answers your question or not? If not, please let me know.
Very nicely explained thanks so much
You’re welcome
I’ve been struggling to get zippers into pouches correctly.
I hope this helped
Very nicely explained thanks so much for sharing
You’re welcome
I'm not sure if I missed it; is 35cm the base or side measurement for the medium bag? Thank you
It’s the side measurement
Thank you for sharing what you've done ❤ It's a really good idea using two cabinets for a work table. I have one of these units that we use as a TV stand but the compartments are for my fabrics also, I couldn't resist the beige boxes with the white dots, I have 6 and need one more, the other compartment has drawers
I really like the beige with whiter spots as well
Beautiful ❤️ Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing dear 💕 Video quality is very good and camera shoots very closely so bigganer like me can do easily ❤ Love it💞
Thank you so much 😊
