Top Zipper Hack for the Dayna Pack by Linds Handmade
Hey everyone,
Well, after countless messages and comments requesting I make a video for this hack, I've finally gotten around to it after losing my voice for a good few weeks.
The top zipper hack for Lindsay's Dayna Pack. A Fanny Pack in the USA or we call them Bum Bags here in Australia. Such a cute little pattern. Nice and quick to assemble too. This hack adds another pocket for extra storage. I've also made a change to the connectors which I explain in the video so double check your hardware depending on your strap preference.
The pattern can be found here at Linds Handmade
lindshandmade.com/products/dayna-pack-pdf-sewing-pattern
Pattern piece changes...
-- You will need to cut 2 lining pieces from the 'Back Main Panel'
-- Don't cut the 'Front Top Panel Liner'. Instead cut your liner from the 'Front Top Panel Exterior' piece which is 1/4" taller
-- Add 1/4" to the top of the 'Back Liner' piece (see edit below)
-- Scrap for zipper tabs (at least 1 1/4" wide by about 5")
I hope you like my video. Let me know what you think.
Xx
Ebony
EDIT :
A few people are having trouble getting the back liner piece to match up. I have no trouble at all but when I reviewed my pattern pieces, I can see that the Back Liner piece could probably be 1/4" taller. I have added this alteration to the description of pattern pieces changes above. It still works out fine for me without the extra 1/4", so I didn't pick up on it until a few people commented so I do apologise.
However, some people are noting that they are much more than 1/4" off. Because the bottom is darted, you don't want to push it down flat. In the video at 7:40 you can see that mine doesn't match either to start with but if you clip the top and bottom like I did the base should curve up to meet the lining. That helps create the shape in the pocket. The liner is smaller so that it the front piece curves up. Don't worry about any difference until you've clipped it like shown in the video.
If it is still not matching, it could be the SA used for the zip and the darts. Both can make the exterior piece longer if your SA is too small.
I hope this helps anyone having trouble.

Sewing the Vixen Bowler Bag by Seams Legit
มุมมอง 7892 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I will be making the Vixen from Seams Legit. I think the bag is super cute and I really love the structure. You can mix and match with vinyls, cottons and waterproof canvas. I chose to only have a small amount of vinyl so I could make it on my domestic, however I think that the way this bag is put together I definitely could have added a vinyl gusset too. You can purchase the patt...
Linds Handmade H2O 2GO with slip pocket and box bottom hacks
มุมมอง 66K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this tutorial I show you how to make a quicker version of the H2O 2GO by Linds Handmade combining 2 different hacks for the original pattern. The slip and zip pocket hack, replacing the curved zip pocket, and the box bottom hack which replaces the oval shaped base. You will need to purchase the pattern from Linds Handmade which can be found here lindshandmade.com/collections/pdf-patterns/pro...
I am so happy I found your channel. I have made several of the original H2O 2GO bags with the curved pocket and round bottom. But this is such a game changer. I can make 4 of these in the amount of time it took to make 1 of the original ones. I had thought about making the changes you’ve done but just never got around to it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Definitely will be checking out more of your videos. Love the way you teach too!❤😊
If you quilted it with batting, the water bottle would be insulated. 💕🌞🌵😷
I just finished watching your tutorial and I found it VERY HELPFUL!! Thank you 🥴
Many thanks, great hack! Ido t like fitting circle bottoms so this is fabulous!
I too appreciate no unnecessary chatter. Great tutorial, thank you.
Very good tutorial.
So enjoyed your tutorial and actually successfully completed it! Thank you as I’m quite new to sewing. I found that once I have a bottle in the bag, the zipper pocket becomes quite tight and hard to get things in and out of it. Do you have a hack that could enable the zipper pocket to extend when opened? I’ve seen pockets that sort of have a pleat on the side so open up a little more but I wouldn’t have a clue how to adapt a pattern. Such a great job and it’s really nice to not have any annoying music in the background whilst trying to concentrate on what you’re doing and saying.
Hi Cathy, Thank you for your lovely comments. I don't have a massive drink bottle so I don't really have the tightness problem however I've heard others with large drink bottles have had the same. The original pattern solves this problem perfectly. By having the external pocket protruding from the front slightly it gives more room that this slip hack. If you weren't ready to tackle the curved front pocket you could try doing a pleated pocket. I'm not a huge fan as I feel they gape open unless you have a closure at the top. Another option would be to cut all your front pocket pieces a smidge wider (maybe 1/8" or 1/4") then when you baste the centre pocket pieces to the long centre panel (original size) it will pucker out a little bit giving you some extra room. I would even play around with tapering it so only the top is a little wider and keep the bottom 2.5" of the pocket pieces the same so it still sits flush for the base and just before it folds under. I hope that makes sense to you. It's just brainstorming in my head and will prob need a bit of play. Good luck!
I've been looking for a pattern that I would like, this is on my to-do list. Thank you!
Great job! I'm going to try it! Thank you
I loved this tutorial! It was straight to the point without any fluff. I also prefer to sew in metric (I am in Canada, but most people still sew in imperial).. I find it more precise. I just took a look at what the original H2O 2GO is supposed to look like and I much prefer your version of the bag. For your very first video, I think you did an excellent job! Keep it up. :)
Finally, someone sent from heaven to teach me how to make the simplest water bottle holder. 😅 I have been searching and others were too difficult and people who knew and their tutorials were too confusing...but this? Omg!! Thank you, thank you! ❤😊🙏🏽
Haha I don't know about sent from heaven but I am so glad that you felt it was helpful. I tried to make it as simple and easy to follow as possible. Thanks for your beautiful comment 😊❤️
Thank you so much for this wonderful, straightforward tutorial! I am now encouraged that I can accomplish this pattern, and I am going to give it a go! Thank you again!
What type of lining did you use for this project? Loved your video.
Thank you. I used waterproof canvas in 300D for this one. It adds a little structure but also stops water bottle condensation.
Beautiful bag. Where did you get your fabric?
If I wanted to make the bag bigger so the boxedpart would be bigger, would I just add one or two inches to the three front pieces?
With adding the two inches, could you place the finished pocket at least 1 1/2 inches from bottom pf center panel to reduce bulk.
I’m having trouble boxing the exterior corners… thick on one side.
Your video is excellent and easy to follow. Could you please do one with the Stanley cup hack ( handle). ?
I liked your video the best so far. Very clear explanation, not too much talking, no annoying background music, no wasted time watching a person sew! I want to see what to do and watch myself sew!😂 Thank you very much! Lynn, Louisiana, USA
Do you have any hacks that will make this bag so that it fits a Stanley Cup with a handle?
I don't personally but there are some on Linds fb page. 😊 She said it works with the original pattern and also the version here in my video. th-cam.com/video/Fs1AnRAoIyY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ee0UJSHHj4ArkL4e
Ficou lindo! E essa estampa é muito bonita!
Thank you ! this makes it seem less intimidating :) I have the pattern but was terrified when I watched other videos. I will make the original at some point but this seems like a good starting point.
Do you tape two exterior pieces ( mirrored) together for template? Also do you do the same with the liner template
I would like to see you make a video for the stanley cup
Very good tutorial ❤😊
Thank you. I love the fact we don't have watch you sew every step. You are very organized. I enjoyed watching and learning from your video!! Please make more!
Thank you for your great video, i have bought the pattern but will also have a zipper in top like this hach😊 is it right understood that i need 2 more back lining and a zipper for the hach??
Yes that's correct. 2 from the back main panel but in your lining fabric. In the description are the details of each thing that is extra or different. 😊
When I first bought this pattern on line I assumed there was a top zipper that just was not visible and was surprised that there was not. Thanks so much for this hack. Wouldn't you have to make the lining back - the one that is part of the original pattern - taller - if you made the top lining the same size as the top outer when you make the original outside zipper? That lining piece matches up with the shorter top part, you know what I mean? I would think the linking piece would be 1/4 inch too short.
Hi Dawn, if you expand the description box there is an edit for that little measurement and all the pieces listed to cut. Sorry I couldn't update the video, maybe one day I will do a new one and make a few changes.
So agree with @terrinow. Wax anxious about how to achieve top section with pattern pieces (thank you for listing those with measurements) but advanced tutorial to see how you matched pattern to main body bag. Excellent presentation, lovely voice, no "hand jive" and no music to interfere with your instructions. Do make more videos and thank you for sharing your time and talent. 😊
Hello! Where can I find the cut out instructions for your version of this bag? I do have the original pattern. Thank you!
Great video and explanations
one of the best tutorials i've seen and heard. no unnecesary rambling (lol) articulate and well presented. many thanks!
Well done! You’re a natural.
THANK YOU, fantastic tutorial!
Thank you ......
May I ask you what the seam allowance for the main fabric and for lining is ? Thank you for your help
The front pocket is assembled with a 1/4" seam allowance. Once you get to the back seam you switch to 3/8". The lining is 3/8" too.
Love your video. Do you put Decovil in your bases?
When you sew the boxed corners on the lining, are they 3/8 inch?
Yes 😊
@@whatastitchup.creations thank you
Thank you I took another look and my problem was I cut the side pieces at the wrong width so it was my bad. Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it.
When I had did my final piece putting the sides on next to the centerpiece, my whole piece was 15 inches wide, which was not able to fit the original pattern. It was too small. Could you tell me what should the width be after putting in the side panels in the pocket.
I don't have the pattern on me as I'm at work but it should end up exactly the same width as Linds original exterior pattern piece. I am thinking your seam allowance was a little too big. It should be 1/4" all the way up to adding the side pieces. Then switch to 3/8" to close at the back.
so 1/4 inch when adding the side pieces and only 3/8 to close the back? thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. Perfect for excursions! Great job.
You’ve absolutely convinced me to get this pattern now! Thankyou for your brilliant tutorial! Please do more!🌻
Love your instructions, very easy to follow. The design is beautiful, I can’t wait to sew this!
Amei a bolsa. Que pena que não tem as medidas em português mas a idéia é linda. Parabéns
Great tutorial Easy to understand. Thanks Also glad for no background music.
Couple questions I didn’t realize we were to use a 3/8 inch seam allowance. I use a quarter inch I have my front panel all put together should I continue using a quarter inch seam allowance or should I switch to three eights also the panel pieces were cut at 13 1/2 inches tall and then we are to use the original main body exterior pattern with adding 2 inches to it, but that ends up at 13 inches tall so which is correct should it be 13 1/2 inches tall or 13? Also is the liner that goes inside the bag to be the exact dimensions of the outer piece so the height for the liner should not be the same as the height for the exterior.? Thank you
I use a 1/4" to assemble the whole front with the pockets and then switch to a 3/8" for assembling the body of the bag. The lining is a little shorter than the main exterior. If you add 2" to the lining piece and 2" to the main exterior piece there should be about 1/4" - 3/8" difference (I can't check which as I'm currently in bed lol) So just use the original pattern pieces with the 2" added and cut off any extra.
@@whatastitchup.creations thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it!
Great tutorial!
Ebony this is fantastic, and as others have said, no unnecessary chat. It has made this bag doable for me now, thank you. Could you please tell me what size the bottom is now it's boxed? The original pattern is 6" wide x 4" deep - I'm assuming the boxed bottom is now square? Thanks again, I'll look out for your new videos.
The boxed bottom measures 3 3/4" both wide and deep. I played around with the corner cutout measurements before I made the video to try and get the base as square as possible I stead of rectangle. The body of the bag has the same circumference as the original but because the shape is different it sounds much smaller on the boxed bottom. They actually have a similar base area at 15 vs 14 square inches. 😊
Thank you very much@@whatastitchup.creations
This is my favorite hack. Thank you!
I love your video. Is there a way not to have the pocket in the boxed bottom? Essentially having the pocket above the box. Just trying to avoid the bulk in the boxed bottom
If you shorten the zipper pocket lining piece about an inch (11" tall) I think it takes it out of the bottom seam. Or if you want to take all of the seams out of the box bottom you could cut the front bottom piece shorter, sew the front assembled pocket rst top and bottom with the slip pocket back piece, flip it out and sew on to the centre piece about 2 inches up. I haven't done it that way as I prefer the seamless look of the front so I'd have a play with it but that's how I would try it.
