I made 2 of these today. One is made from one of my father-in-law’s shirts. I used the buttons and the pocket! He passed away in 2019. I gave that one to my husband!
Wow how times have changed! Jess was using cotton thread, universal needles and METAL zipper tape?!?! I like seeing how people started off vs how they have grown. We tend to think that TH-cam creators are perfect and they know what's best. But this goes to show that we all learn and grow from our experiences. ❤️
I'm a diabetic. I take 2 insulins. These is a great idea. I can carry my meds. My insulin. bandaids, alcohol preps. And I can keep them separated and organized. Thank you Jess.❤
You are a natural teacher. All the steps explained with no fru fru. Straight forward and simple but explicit. I really have enjoyed finding your channel.
You are friggin amazing. I can't wait to make this. Guy sower here and really appreciate you spending the time on this video, very well done. Subscribed! Thanks for sharing this, great job!
Jess, I really enjoy watching your tutorials. You explain every step and why you’re doing it and your lovely sunny nature is a joy to see! Thank you so much for giving us your time and expertise 🙏🏽🥰
I was asked to make zipper pouches. Somehow I got into BoxyPouchLand and of course, confused myself by watching too many videos. I took a break for a few hours to work on a quilt and then checked your playlist for a boxy pouch tutorial I knew I’d understand. 17 hours after starting down this detour, I finally understand. Closing the hole on the inside made my night/day/night. Thanks, Jess!
LOLOL it has been a busy week, getting ready for a market, I have made this bag for 40 yrs on and off, but thought I would relax and watch your tutorial, WELL>...I may have gotten to relaxed......I just made it and for the life of me I could not finish it, it just turned into a regular bag..........SO I thought what have I forgotten..........lolololol Well, I totally forgot NOT to sew the sides up. gosh, never too old to learn or refresh the process....lololo thank you.
I love your thorough instructions, and that you mention the seam allowances and stitch lengths...things that some other tutorials leave out! I'm going to try this as very soon, but since I've made a few other kinds of zipper bags I feel confident that it will turn out great!
Your tutoring steps were vety organized. From materials needed measurements. Furthermore, i like the omission of sewing part. It saves the time of the viewers or students. Bravo.
Holy Moly! I swear I've searched for a two-toned boxy bag for almost a year now and this is the missing tutorial that I've been dreaming of! Thanks for your wonderfully detailed walk-through! I love your channel... subscribed at first sight with alarm bell on and all! Please make more things! Thanks, Jess!
Wow, you made my day with your tutorial. The best I have seen about these boxes with liner. I wasted half my day with no idea how to start my next project, to afraid it would be to vomplicated again. And you made me do it. Thanks for not speeding up and for talking about every detail on the way. I love it. You should get paid for it 😁❤️❤️🍀
Jess i just LOVE LOVEEEE your videos! I´m having an anxiety day and a hard time to get into my machine and your videos calm me down so much..... its better than meditation! You're are so awesome! Please never stop doing what you do, you make such a difference in so many lifes. Big kiss from Terceira island, Azores, Portugal ❤❤❤❤
You are an excellent teacher. I just discovered your video and I will be making anything that you have on TH-cam as I’m a visual learner and struggle with written patterns. Thank you!
I have to say your tutorial for this boxy bag is the best ! My grandson has requested me to make some for him & you are gonna make me look good...lol..Thank You!
Awww yay Cathy! These are great bags for the little ones. They can toss them around and put all the knick-knacks in them. Keep me updated on what you make!
I’ve only just found your channel and must say what a wonderful tutorial I recently made a boxy pouch by another designer and it was so time consuming and difficult whereas yours was so explanatory and very easy to understand and follow.
I'm crazy addicted to your channel. Always something to learn and you presentation is spot on. I have to do EVERYTHING you demonstrate.. Thanx. From SA
Making these bags has become my happy place!!!! I was making myself dresses and I also crochet, but sewing these little bags...and I just started last week... this is making me 😆🥳 so giddy!!!
I have watched several videos on how to make a boxy bag. Your video is by far the easiest I have tried. Thank you so much. Love your tutorials. Will check out the other tutorial you mentioned.
I just made this bag and I have never made a bag like this before and your tutorial was so easy to follow and I loved how my bag turned out!! Thank you!
I know it’s been five years since this video was made, but I just finished making my first box today. A couple of personal notes: my zipper was extra wide so I should’ve gone a little closer, and I should have used thinner or none in the pull tabs to make it easier for those with arthritis or big fingers…other than that it turned out perfect. Thank you so much for this.
Young lady, your eyes are mesmerizing! NO, I am not a crackpot, just an old lady who like to appreciate people! I enjoyed your video and will be working on more boxy bags! Thanks for t enhanced versions to make them nicer! Well done!
I WISHED I would have looked through all your videos before I attempted to make my own two tone boxy bag!!! But now that I’ve found yours, ima making it!!!! Thank you!!!!
You have a new subscriber! I was not sure what to make for the men in my life as a Christmas gift....now I know! I would love for you to come up with some more ideas for gifts for men. Also LOVE your editing, just enough sewing/instruction.
Thank you! Another fabulous tutorial. I have followed quite a few of yours now and absolutely love your style and clarity. Anyone else's I try to follow I am like dammmmm this is not Jessica!!! Thank you once again for being fabulous!
Your tutorials are so good! I love that when you're showing the pieces to cut, you trace along the piece as you say the dimension. Sometimes it's hard to tell which side is which when the measurements are close, or if the whole piece isn't shown. I've used mesh adn elastic for bag pockets before, adn what I found works great is to cut the elastic a little bit shorter, then stretch it as I sew it on (with a zig zag). This helps snug the top of the pocket in just a bit to keep items more secure, but allows it to open fully still. I can't wait to make this enhanced bag!
I've made a lot of these boxy bags but I've been looking for a 2-tone one, so I'm really glad to have finally found it. Very well explained, thank you.
Thank you for doing the video tutorial for the Enhanced Boxy Bag; I'm a visual learner so I appreciate it. It's getting harder for me to find bags for my men. They banned me from using pinks/flowers. Thanks for doing the measurements. I love your energy!
Haha I have the same problem with the men in my life. They love what I make, just want it in neutral tones. I need to demo those colors on my channel more.
So I'm visiting Cali and started making your mini boxy bag. I have 17 to make before Dec 21st. Today I put 5 of them together and want to thank you for your easy Illustrated instructions. These will be great lil gifts for under the tree with a money cards to await the recipient on Christmas morning. I love watching your videos. I guess I've become one of your groupies...lol ;)
I just finished making this bag & I can't thank you enough for the best tutorial for boxy bags! You are sew detailed in your instructions you make it easy! Love your channel!
I have searched high and low for a pattern like this!!!! I am planning to make one ASAP!! Except I plan to add handles and to add D rings to my pull tabs to use as a small purse. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING EVERYTHING SO WELL 🥰 I have lots of experience making bags, but I still like when steps are explained thoroughly!
/thank you so much for this tutorial. You give excellent instructions. I am going to make a whole bunch for Christmas presents . I ordered the vinyl to make them, Thanks again. You are a blessing to all us sewers.
for the past 4 weeks I made 5 of these!! I started sewing about 2 months ago and this is my favorite pattern so far!! Thanks so much Jess!!!-the 2 smaller pockets are perfect for holding cards, and in the larger sole pocket I put my passwords and receipts and stamps and whatnot. I use it as a wallet. This is like the LeSportsac Rectangular but bigger. I also made a version with a skinny strap as a small crossbody-I used ribbon for the strap. I'm a beginner lol not that polished yet. Am having so much fun.
Hi, thank you for this latest tutorial. Just wanted to pass on a tip for you (ok 2 tips). First is to press a bag that has meltable components, use your hair dryer. Filling the cavity with the super hot air gives fantastic results (works for gathered sleeve heads too). The second tip is to have a small pair of hair straighteners next to the machine to press small cotton areas (even works for quilt seams). Hope this helps.
Thankyou so much for a well explained boxy bag, lost my mojo at the minute and need to get back to it, so i will give this ago. Thanks from Jo in the UK 😊
@@OklaRoots well I got my sew jo back well maybe a little I managed 2 boxy bags and 2 flat bags, as I went wrong on them, I add a leather hand made label with rivets but put them to near the corners and the I couldn't box the corners 🤭 we learn by our our mistakes, I will try again and thanks again for a great video 😊
I made it! Yay. I have never made a bag like this. Thanks. My lining is too big, I guess I didn't measure correctly, I did make one pocket and that seems large as well. I didn't have fuseable fleece so next one I will try it as I do like the stiffer kind. I made mine with tree camoflag top and red canvas bottom. Thank you for your detailed and fun tutorial!
ive been searching for a pouch/bag for my med bottles and this will work out perfectly... i do appreciate the who, what, when, where and whys in a tut... ive been dabbling with leather for about a yr and would like to incorporate fabric and machine sewing into my leather projects... tyfs
Thank you for the fantastic tutorial! Just made on for my mother to carry playing cards and nickels. I added D-rings on the zip tabs and a short strap.
Another great tutorial. Thank you. I have two helpful hints for you. Get a silicone spatula to push against fabric edges for pressing. Saves fingers. Also, I put my Taylor’s ham inside the bags, all sizes, to iron against. I have also put on a silicone oven mitt for the hand going inside the bag to iron against. ❤
At the 43:07 mark, to match up the two tone fabric part, if you have one seam allowance going in one direction and the other SA going in the opposite direction, they will 'lock in' better and not have as much tendency to shift :) Great tutorial, thank you!
Great tutorial! You make things so easy to understand. I wish we had tutorials ummmm... 40 years ago when I sewed like crazy almost every day. I love your presentation you are confident and it makes it look easy. Hope you are enjoying the blessings of this day.
I love watching your tutorials. I am at the beginning stages of sewing. During this Covid19 quarantine you have taught me how to sew a top stitch, add a zipper, use interfacing, and box a corner. With your help I have made a reusable zip pouch, the tote bag, face masks and a boxy bag! You have kept me sane and challenged during this unique time in history. Thank you most sincerely for your tutorials, your time, and your talent. You have been a blessing! Much much appreciation, Peggy I would love to send a gift card to Florida if you could provide your address that would be great!
Thanks so much for sharing all the great patterns! I made one of the itty bitty boxy bags on Fridays and then one of these yesterday. It came out so cute! I cut the outer fabric as one big piece (13.5" x 16.5") and stitched diagonal lines 1" apart to give it a quilted look. I think I'm hooked on bag making now, because I want to make ALL the patterns! lol
Love your tutorial ❤️ 😂🎉. My hands are now, very arthritic and don't obey my orders!! But Id like to try a larger one if possible. Do you have some measurements for larger sizes, by chance? Thx for your excellent video. Ive already made some awesome totes, so the plan is, to make a bag to go inside 😀 that matches.

Thank you Lisa! That means a lot to me.

Made my 1st bag, really enjoyed it. With the fab instructions, I managed to put my 1st zip in!!! Thanks you got my sewing mojo back 😸
Congratulations!!! That first zipper is the hardest bag-mountain to climb!
I absolutely love watching all your tutorials! They’re so easy to follow! 💕👍🏼
Thank you Sara!
Thank you for taking the time to show how you make the bag in a way that is very understandable to follow.

I love your teaching style. You are very detailed. Thank You!
Thank you Shawna!
I can't wait to make these for Christmas presents.
I just recently started sewing and you have the best tutorial. Thank you.

This is it. This is what I’m going to make for a Christmas Craft exchange 😍
As I was finishing this bag, I thought, no way this will be anything but a mess! But it turned out beautifully. Thank you for an awesome tutorial!
Your directions are meticulously accurate. Thank you so much! Love this boxy bag! 🥰
Oh thank you!

Thank you for such kind words Cinthia! I make a lot of mistakes when I'm trying out these bags, which makes it easier to explain the steps.
Love the sword and the stone fabric!!😍
Isn't it great? I love love love Backstitch Fabrics!
This bag kicked my butt! I've made harder bags and I wasn't ever ever going to make another one. But I have too it's not going to beat me.
Oh no! Was it the vinyl? I know I have a hard time with the thick layers.
Thanks for all your encouraging videos, it's been fun to re-learn how to sew!
OMG!!! I made a bag!!!!!!!! Will post on Intsta and share with you Jess!
I have searched high and low for a pattern like this!!!! I am planning to make one ASAP!! Except I plan to add handles and to add D rings to my pull tabs to use as a small purse.

I think these would be great gifts, Taylor! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for including stitch lengths in your tutorial :)
I have made a few of these now if different sizes and I love how easy they are to make

I finally tried mesh, I've done other bags without, but you did a great job explaining every step (as always) thanks!
Love your tutorial ❤️ 😂🎉. My hands are now, very arthritic and don't obey my orders!! But Id like to try a larger one if possible. Do you have some measurements for larger sizes, by chance? Thx for your excellent video. Ive already made some awesome totes, so the plan is, to make a bag to go inside 😀 that matches.
You are an amazing teacher. Thanks for the great tutorial!! Looking forward to more from you!!
Thank you June!
