Not only are your projects cute, beautiful, and parctical; and not only are your tutorials clear and concise; you know the proper use of "to lie." "The fabric 'lies' flat." "Keep the fabric 'lying' flat." Music to this English teacher's ears. Brava!!
I love revisiting your older videos. It reminds me of projects that I have completely forgotten about. I may have said it before but 11 years ago when I wanted to learn to sew, you were my favorite TH-camr I watched to help me learn. I was wanting to give my daughter everything I made for my 1st grand baby everything I made myself. She now has 4 babies with the youngest 2 yrs old. I have sewn for all the grand babies every since. I now have 8 grand babes with the youngest ay 8 months. I love sewing for all of them.
The best part of your video is clear verbal instructions along the whole way. I find videos that just show the actions with no words a waste of time to watch because it’s so unclear to beginners. So thank you very much.
I have made this pouch a couple years ago as gifts. I saw on FB where you reposted it again. I need a pouch to hold my phone, cards and cash for our Dollywood trip Saturday because I don't want to carry a purse. I just finished the pouch and it will be perfect for my need. Thanks ❤
I have been watching many zipper pocket tutorials and your is by FAR the easiest for me to understand! Thank you so much for taking your time and making this video filled with compassion for helping people sew their creations!🙌💖🌈✌️
Crafty, You are the cutest sewing instructor ever. Clear, concise, enthusiastic instructions. Such fun to watch and sew. Thanks. Ruth Hord
These are fabulous for so many things... Vanessa, you are one of the best teachers I have seen. You show every little detail, but you continue to flow with a nice peppy voice so it makes you want to just sew, sew, sew. Plan to buy into the organizer class right after spring break and can’t wait.... Thank you for all you do. I sew with my granddaughter and she sells her projects to give money to a Xmas project that gives a huge party to underprivileged children. These will be wonderful for her to make.
Absolutely the BEST teacher, I'm most impressed that Vanessa's teaching style is for every level of experience, whether a novice intermediate or advanced sewist. Vanessa never assumes that someone watching her video already knows how to do the steps in making a project.
I really like the way you have explained how to make this pouch 👝 no dilly dallying around and straight to the point not like others that talk for 5 minutes b4 they even start. Thank you 🙏 I’ve just now signed up. Your pouch is beautiful so I’m going to give it a try 😁😁
Shelly from UK. Thank you for this great tutorial.. you explain things so well.. so helpful... works exactly how you have demonstrated. Thank you very much
THANK YOU for giving the detentions at the beginning of the video. And for getting right into the subject. Don't enjoy having to stop the video to count the grid to get the measurements. Or having to wade through 5 minutes of the weather or each piece of Aunt Martha's fabric stash. that we are looking at. Great presentation. Easy and clear. Don't get me wrong, I understand nostalgia. My mom left me all kinds of supplies. But, well, I am sure I am not the only person who watches videos to learn something new. :)
I have watched so so many videos about zippers and have been unable to really see how to get the zipper tabs to come out the "right way" NOW I think I can possible do it! I have so many failed sample projects ! Thank you for this.
Glad to help! You can do it! 👍🏽
Love how you teach .Much easier for me to understand
Hi Absolutley brilliant it is nice to see a purse like this done in ENGLISH not chinese or russian, I have been looking for days. I want to make a purse for my bag the one I have got is falling apart so I prefer to make one. Thank you for a really clear explanation of the purse best wishes Debbie from the UK xxxx
Venesa: Love your tutorials because you get straight to the point, give great instruction and details, and don't waste the viewers' time with a lot of unnecessary talk or time wasted looking for something. You're always very organized and get the job done efficiently. Great tutorials!!!!
The zipper tab tip makes the pouch professional looking. Great tip.
I did make this purse. I did modify. I added D rings loops on the side and instead of curving the bottoms, I boxy bottomed the bag. Thank you for your ease of teaching.
I enjoy the fast pace of the tutorial without any extra "fluff" thrown in. Cute pouch! Easy to make. Thanks.
This was exactly what I was looking for. I've been following you since you started your tutorials. Thank you Vanessa for your teaching style. You are concise, easy to understand and you make learning fun for us, whether we are new to sewing or are veterans.
Hi there. I made this originally using your measurements, & then used old pair of jeans and made it larger (14 x 11) to carry an iPad. I used the adhesive 1/4 inch foam to stabilize it. I’d love to post photos but I’m not tech savvy enough to do that 😋. I love this project!!! Plan to make many more to give as gifts to friends and family. You are an awesome instructor!!!
Girl, you make zippers look SO easy to sew on anything!
Have now made 7 of these....love them. Make a great present for adult or child. Awesome. Thanks.
I don’t how I found you but I am so happy I did. I am very new to sewing
Whenever I need to put in an inset zipper pocket I ALWAYS refer back to this tutorial. Hopefully soon it will just stick in my brain! Thanks Vanessa!!
Michele Boxleitner me too,!
I so appreciate the "how to" of your tutorials, but most of all I appreciate the "why" you do the "how to". I am a visual learner and this has made your tutorials so successful and has helped me to understand each step of the way. I love them and have referred my sewing friends to them. This is a great project for Maj Jongg players (with a small adjustment in size); one pocket for their card and one pocket for their $$$! Muchas gracias por todo!
Year after year I comeback to your tutorial before I start a zippered pouch. Your directions are clear and simple and make zippers a piece of cake❣️❣️
Thank you for a very detailed tutorial, Vanessa. You are an excellent instructor who really explains all the potential "gotcha" areas where a sewist could run into problems if they're not careful. A very lovely and functional project, thanks for taking the time to plan, film, edit and post this tutorial ! ~Diana from Toronto.
Thanks for your kind words and appreciating the work that goes into making these free videos. Happy sewing!
This idea seemed complicated until you explained each step by step process. Good job! Great tutorial!
I'm returning to sewing after a break of several years. I used to make a lot of zipper pouches and ALWAYS had trouble with any zipper at the top of the pouch. Now I'm slowly reteaching myself these skills, but was apprehensive about that zipper. Your tutorial here MAKES SENSE and makes it look super easy! Nothing I've come across online is anywhere near as clear about how to handle the ends of the zipper. THANK YOU!
Welcome! Happy to help. Enjoy the comeback and be sure to check out my more recent zipper pouch tutorials. I share lots of tips and tricks!
I put that zipper in yesterday, and it worked like a miracle! And I've got notifications on for your channel, and have been binge-watching lots. You've rejuvenated my sewing!
I'm going to add a key ring and a wristlet I'll post pics:-) Thank you Crafty Gemini. Your tutorials are so wonderful, clear, and precise!
Made the duo zip pouch today. I have been looking for a pouch that I can use as a hip pouch to hold phone and keys when I walk the dog. I simply added tabs with d rings on the sides. I also made a long waist strap that fits around my waist with lobster claps on each end and now I can use it as a hip bag. Great tutorial. Thanks
Love your tutorials.
I like to change purses a lot. These zipper pouches are a get help to me.
I have a purple pouch that I use for lip dew and cough drops.
A red pouch for nail file, clippers, tweezers etc.
Yellow pouch for credit card, license, money etc.
Changing purses is no problem. Grab the pouches, put them in the new purse,
So easy to find what I am looking for.
Thank you for being a great teacher.
Always enjoy your videos. You are so clear in your instructions, speaking slowly.
Just appreciate you and your great, fun ideas!
Thank you!
I am going to use this zip pouch for face masks that I carry in my purse. Thanks for all your great tutorials!
Love listening to your teachings ....Also so happy you have joined Bluprint... Thanks for all you do for the sewing and Quilting community !
Great tutorial. Love how you did the zipper tabs and then explained how not to sew over them. Like the lining is a bit smaller so if fits perfect. Will be making some of these. Thanks for all the great details.
You are one of the best instructors on TH-cam. Love watching your tutorials and I try most of them with great success...thanks to you.
Such a good tutorial, I come back over and over when I need to make a pocket zipper!
This was a fun tutorial. As an experienced but retired teacher, I want to acknowledge your excellent teaching methods and the quality video that go along with them. Thank you.
I made two of these little bags from fabric I created and they are sooooo cute.
This is really cute and I want to try it! This is the kind of thing I would make, put money in, and give as a gift to my teenage granddaughters. Then they could use it for makeup, hair accessories, in their gym bags, or whatever.
Are you still doing vids? Your video's are so clear, great angles, and great teaching!
Heather Cole yes, she is. What a good teacher!
Dear Vanessa,you are a very talented person. Great tutorial. Your tone of voice is catching. Very enthusiastic and full of energy. Best video so far.
Thank you for paying extra attention to minor details. Great job. 👌😊
Thanks Vanessa! Another great tutorial. You are superb at explaining all the details!
I loved this
Love all of your tutorials you are an awesome teacher!
I love how you give us important little details such as using directional prints. Thank you SEW much for sharing your talents with all of us! Love this little bag!
You are an excellent teacher and believe me not all seamstresses make good teachers.
I got the wonder under tape and I LOVE IT! Love your tutorials and I love your teaching style! Thanks for helping us learn more skills!
You are such an awesome instructor. You explain things so clearly. Thank you very much! I'm a new sewer and am looking forward to making many of your zippered pouches.
I absolutely love your tutorials ❤️
Great instructor very detailed and thorough
Good job. Clear, concise and quick. Your fabric and zipper color selections made it really easy to follow along. Thanks
I plan to make one to carry charging cords for my phone and Kindle and ear buds when I travel.
I find your videos very well done and your projects practical and enjoyable.
Thank you!
I Love this pouch!! Your videos are so easy to follow. Thank you
Made two of these today....I've made a bunch of bags but these are now my 'go to' bag for gifting the gals. Super fun and easy and I actually ENJOYED the zippers. Your instructions are super clear, concise and after making just two I'm pretty sure I can just make them from memory now. Such a fun project for Batiks and multi colored zippers. Thank you so much CG.
Love this, added some elastic for golf tees on the front and a piece of webbing in the middle at the top on the back and made a great pouch for golf balls and tees. So easy to make and great instructions. Thanks so much
I love these videos, she breaks things down so simply.
I just watched this video. You are such a great teacher. Easily understood. Thank you!
You have been the BEST in giving crafty tutorials! So straightforward and clear. Thanks for sharing! I’m going to give this project a try this morning
Gifts for each of my granddaughters. I can't wait to get started. Loved this tutorial!
Wow you Rock! totally will get one made now. You're a Natural born teacher :-)
I absolutely love your tutorials. Your directions are clear and easy to follow. Perfect projects for my Fashion students to try when they finish assigned tasks.
Miss. Vanessa, your tutorial is awesome. Thank you. Your smile is great and your instructions are quick and to the point. Music was not too loud. I’ve saved this for later. 🦋 🎼”Let us oft speak kind words to each other...”
I have sewn my entire life, even as a professional in alterations. Though I am experienced I love your tutorials. Your directions are so clear, your demos easy to follow, your enthusiasm contagious and so many good ideas. I have made several items as gifts. I also love that you have so many ideas to use up that every growing pile of scraps too big to just throw away!
Hey Venessa, you are very thorough in explaining! Love your way of instructions and explanations! Thank you!!
I love the way you teach it’s excellent, every little detail is explained clearly and the fact that you show the pressing at each stage is impressive. There are many teachers out there but you come top of my list......well done and thank you.
This is SOO right on time! I am making a pouch like this for my daughter and your technique and tips are just what I need! Thank you for sharing this!
You are an amazing teacher. A lot of videos assume we know terms and how to's when explaining. I can clearly see what you are doing and you explain it so clearly. Thank you. I love your videos.
So I thought a double zippered pouch would be so hard but of course you made it look so easy. I love this and cannot wait to make me one! Thank you!!!
Such a cute project! I really like the mix of patterns. I think I'd use this as an electronics pouch. When I'm out for the whole day, I take my portable charger, my power cord, and my headphones. The duo pockets are perfect for that!
Debbie Deas I love your suggestion for using this pouch to hold chargers, power cords, etc.! Now I have a great tutorial, thank you Vanessa, and a great use for the pouch, and great quick presents for my friends and family! We all have chargers and cords for something.
Made it! Thank you so much for sharing. I need to make a few to get the process in my head. But love it. I squared off the corners so my bag sits flat. Love it, love it 😀 your the best.
Ms Vanessa....You are the BEST VIDEO COACH lol....I love your style and basic sense of urgency when introducing a project. You are on POINT and extremely thorough. Plus my favorite point I like to make is that you ....keep it moving...NO STALLING...you are IN AND OUT OF THE KITCHEN before ya know it....DONE!!!! I was watching and felt as tho I was making it right along with you and ready to shout out a "WHAAAHOOO!!" but my bag was no where to be found LOL...because I was just watching. You are CLEAR....precise to a fault and your voice is HEARD...perfectly.
I congratulate you on this great GO TO project that literally takes just MINUTES to prep and complete. NO FRILLS!! My kind of project.
Thanks Coach!! Merry Christmas to you and yours...

Excellent! I have watched a lot of sewing videos like this. Your explanation is complete & on point great job!
Thank you for the great video!! I love this pouch!! It will be perfect to carry cookies and poop bags when out doing the doggie park with our dear Odin!!!
I made one of these today, of the first time. As a novice I found your directions easy to understand and I ended up with a really cute pouch. I will definitely make more of these.
I loved it, I think i will add some velcro to fold it over. I love watching you.
I'm 11 years old and I'm learning to use a sewing machine and I looked at your beginners sewing stuff you need and the sewing machine for beginners really I watched all your videos I find them so amazing
SEW EMILY good look with your sewing it's fun and exciting xx
Good for you Emily, to start this fun hobby that can last you a lifetime. I wish we had TH-cam when I was 11, so I could've checked with the experts like Vanessa the Crafty Gemini for crafts projects and sewing "how-to's".. You are a lucky girl to be 11 in 2017!!
I was way older than you when I found Vanessa, she’s a great teacher and person.
BUBBLEGUM BB ... good for you. Being able to sew will come in handy throughout your life, whether it be for crafty things, home decor, clothing ... good luck
Awesome,what a cleaver lady you are!My granddaughters will love this.
This pouch is so darn cute I love it 😍 I also appreciate how you teach us how to make a project you make it so easy to follow you 👍🏼 I really enjoy watching your videos 🌻
Great lessons. I've made zippered pouches before, but never with the extra zipped pocket that you demonstrated. Many thanks.
LOVE IT! Besides another great tutorial, I love how you just "wing it" and cut the perfect curves. :-)
I love your teaching method, easy for me to follow. Thanks 💕
So cute. I am going to try to make this. My granddaughters would love these.
So glad I stumbled across you! Straight and to the point! Love it! Thank you:)
Just love you crafty Gemini...❤️
Watching in a very sunny Shrewsbury, Shropshire Uk
Thank you for your encouragement & inspiration.
I always enjoy your videos. You explain things so well it makes it very simple to follow. Thank you.
Wow, thank you - your tutorial is amazing. You explained the process really well and as the previous commenter said, no self-indulgent bimbo talk. Merci
This was very well done, you are a very good teacher. 5 star rating from me.
Awesome instructions, you always explain things so complete which is good for new crafters. Awewome job. Also you always have a such a happy smile.
Thanks. What fun to make something for myself. That front pocket is so handy. As always, your instructions were easy to understand.
Fantastic tutorial! So easy to follow and you don’t waste time with useless chit chat! Thanks soooo much 👏👏
I love this! Since first watching your tutorial, I’ve made several, and they turned out fabulous. Thanks!
Love your tutorials, Vanessa! You are an awesome teacher and you explain the steps so clearly. I will definitely be making the pouches to carry things. And maybe give some away?!😁 Keep the tutorials coming.
I really like your tutorials, your tips and techniques are awesome! I see these cute little bags as Christmas gifts this year. Thank you for all your work!
Love it love it......
totally step by step and totally excellently explained
.......thank youuuuuuu
I made this today, but I wanted to add a wristlet style handle, it wasn't easy and my machine wasn't cooperating to well, but I did it! I wish there was directions for putting straps on or wristlet straps on! If I knew how to post pics I would! Thank you! Just hope my sister likes it! 😊
I just love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents.
Vanessa this is PERFECT for the 10" squares that I bought and didn't have a project in mind. Thank you for coming up with these wonderful projects. This one in particular will be made several times for Christmas and birthday presents that are coming up. A friend want one for her crochet hooks and markers. I hadn't thought of that so I will have to make one for myself. Maybe then I will be able to find the hook I need when I need it.:)
I made mine out of 10 inch squares too.
No messing, no self importance just down right great tutoring. Thank you. Just made one for my daughter for back to school for her ask and sanitiser. It’s a bit big for that so could you offer dimensions of all parts for a smaller pouch please? I found the tabs part at the end a little difficult to follow but it turned out ok (not quite like yours) but good for a first try. Think this will be a staple Xmas gift this year thank you so much #staysafe
I love this bag and all the ideas from other viewers are fabulous - the hip pouch and electronics pouch for on the go sound great. I was actually thinking of making this with a PUL lining and using it to shove hankies in. With the extra pocket there's room for a spare hankie.. lol. I'm really trying to get away from using ziploc baggies for everything and find more sustainable storage solutions. This little project will be a big help. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love the video and really love the house fabric you shared showing the directional orientation!
Adorable project! Great tutorial! Thank you!😊
