Excellent tutorial, one suggestion would be to explain why you sew one edge of the overlay and then flip the fabric down to sew the other side so that new sewists don’t sew completely around the box thinking they know what they’re doing… I have to force myself to watch the full video before thinking I know what I’m doing lol
If you sew all around, you won't be able to use the pocket. Everything will be stuck at the top. Test with scraps, and you will see what I am talking about.
Love the tying the threads, game changer for a cleaner look. Thank you!!! I'd like to see a tutorial on how to tape measuring tape to your machine. Newbie here and it helps for seam allowance sizes.
great video TFS ... p.s. instead of Elmers glue you could try sewline (used for EPP) if you use it sparingly you should be able to pull it away in a month or longer but it will stay till you pull it.
Thanks! Yes I do have sewline, I've tested it out and while I like it, as much as I use it is just not cost effective. It is pricey and I am frugal (cheap) hahahah!
i subscribed and love what you are doing! Thank you so much!..the cork like piece that you glued down?????where did you get that please???? I make bags and I really want to try your amazing ideas!

It is a narrow split hinged zipper foot. You can check it out here www.wawak.com/sewing/sewing-machine-accessories/feet/zipper-split-hinged-sewing-machine-foot-40322shp363/#sku=prt5002
Fabulous tutorial. 💗I need to hunt down an 1/8” foot. Seems like it may keep from having to keep opening and closing the zipper to keep it out of the way.
Thank you, Amy, for all your videos and teaching! I want to learn all that you are sharing. Question: Is the Amazon product Tandy Leather Tanner's Bond Adhesive Tape 5 mm the same as the Tanner's Bond Permanent Adhesive Tape on the Tandy website? I would like to purchase the permanent DST that you recommend. Thanks!
I'm sorry for the delay Erin. Yes it is the same. I would also check the Permanent DST over at WAWAK. It works great! This is it and it is super sticky! www.wawak.com/garment-construction/tapes/wawak-hyperstik-super-strong-double-sided-vinylleather-basting-tape-clear/#sku=tpe28

I sew on a Juki DDL 8700 straight stitch flat bed machine. She is wonderful! The foot I used in the video was originally called a split hinged narrow foot and now you can find it as a narrow Zipper foot. Cutex Sewing carry’s it and so does Wawak.

I’m guessing you sewed the bottom edge with the pocket flipped down. When you sew the bottom edge the pocket has to be up and out of the way so you don’t catch it and sew it closed.
Would have been better to show how you folded the pocket lining away from the zipper -visually, along with the script, instead of taking so much time tying the threads. This will be a big issue for lots of seamers.
Thanks for that feedback! I've done this for others in person and tying the knots was a struggle. I'll try to focus on both in the patterns this will be used on!
Everyone is different in how we learn and understand things. I thought the folding away the pocket was obvious and didn't need shown. I have made several bags but have yet to tackle a zipper overlay. It's not a beginner's bag pattern detail. So if I've sewn some bags already then I'll understand what was happening with the pocket lining. I'm watching because I haven't yet tackled an overlay. In other words, for my needs, the video is perfect! Never saw anyone pull threads to the back on a bag. Also I concur with many other comments saying you are an excellent teacher. Thank you!😊

Yes,,,that step,should have been shown.

Thank you for this! Where are you? Your teaching is great and what you teach is much needed. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much! I'm in a suburb of Chicago :)
I've never seen anyone not backstitch and instead pull the thread through the back and tie it off That was an eye opener. Thanks!
My pleasure!
I’m 74 and sewed since i was 7. I was taught to pull threads to back and knot. It. Is a clean finish.
@@nancymccleaft2096 it really is a nice finish isn’t it!
Common procedure to keep things neat and tidy.😊

It is a narrow split hinged zipper foot. You can check it out here www.wawak.com/sewing/sewing-machine-accessories/feet/zipper-split-hinged-sewing-machine-foot-40322shp363/#sku=prt5002

Thank you!
Fabulous tutorial. 💗I need to hunt down an 1/8” foot. Seems like it may keep from having to keep opening and closing the zipper to keep it out of the way.
It looks like she just used her zipper foot to stitch around.
That foot is a narrow hinged foot and yep it measures 1/8”. You can pick it up at Wawak, Cutex Sewing and on Amazon!
Fantastic!
Thank you Kelley ❤️
Do you have a video on how to create the cork overlay ? It must be hard to cut the opening straight. Thank you.
I do not, but I can get one up!!
@AmyLynneDesigns that'd be so nice !!
Great tutorial! Do you know where to get the printed fabric?
Thank you! The fabric I used was a Fat Quarter I picked up at Joann Fabrics awhile ago.
Love the tutorial, just wish you had made the right side of fabric a different color than interfacing.
Thank You for the suggestions!

What sewing machine are you using? great video thanks.
I sew on a Juki DDL 8700 straight stitch flat bed.
thank you so much for this, is it a certain weight of thread you use?
You can do this with any weight thread. I use Gutermann Mara 70 Tex 40.
What machine is that with the skinny foot? It's amazing.
My machine is an Industrial Juki 8700 straight stitch flat bed. I love it. It has great feet options and unlike a domestic the feet are super cheap! Check out Sewing Gold for the machine. They are a great company to work with.

Thank you!

Hello please could you do a video how to sew a zip to sorts please.
I’m assuming you mean shorts. I don’t sew clothing, sorry.
I thought I was following the video but i sewed the zipper shut 😢... what did I do wrong abs in sewing vinyl😱
I’m guessing you sewed the bottom edge with the pocket flipped down. When you sew the bottom edge the pocket has to be up and out of the way so you don’t catch it and sew it closed.
Jump to 10:55 and you’ll see when I sew the bottom edge I have the pocket to the left or to the top of the bag.
Would have been better to show how you folded the pocket lining away from the zipper -visually, along with the script, instead of taking so much time tying the threads. This will be a big issue for lots of seamers.
Thanks for that feedback! I've done this for others in person and tying the knots was a struggle. I'll try to focus on both in the patterns this will be used on!

Most confusing video I have EVER seen for installing a zipper. Ouch.
Sorry it wasn't helpful for you!
