- The Boxy Bag was my FIRST bag to make, and still one of my favorites! It is simple, but can also be adapted into a bag with more interesting and useful additions.
In this tutorial I’ll walk you through exactly how I make my two toned, fully lined with mesh pocket boxy bag. Just starting out? Skip the optional steps. Ready to kick it up a notch? Include those mesh pockets and fusible fleece!
Happy Sewing!

Great ide to have ti.e stamps. Love your videos
Jess OklaRoots what size mm fold over elastic are you using ? Tia
Thank you
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 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!
What a sweet idea. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss🙏🏻❤️
I've made a lot of these bags but I can tell you this is by far the most informative and enjoyable tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you
Thank you Lisa! That means a lot to me.
I completely agree!
Really thorough tutorial on how to face a clean inner finished bag. Thank you. You're adorable
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!
So excited about this boxy bag! Another on my list to do 😃
I have to say the D U P B A G Y bags are still pretty darn cute. I will buy that! Very satisfied with the price!
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 🙏🏽🥰
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.
That's such a kind statement, Elona. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I love sharing what I've learned.
Thanks for all your encouraging videos, it's been fun to re-learn how to sew!
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.
Wonderful! Anxiously waiting for more. Great teaching ability!
This is EXACTLY the pattern I was looking for!! Can't wait to make it.
You are such a great instructor! I made my first boxy bag. Not perfect but not bad for my first one. So much fun. Thank you!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G tutorial! Thank you... you are an excellent teacher 🌞
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!
I’m so glad I found you. I haven’t sewn a bag but I can’t wait to start. I made my first mini boxy bag this weekend 🤗. Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching and sewing.
I just made this and I love it. Perfect instructions/tips in this video. I’ll make another one
Thank you for taking the time to show how you make the bag in a way that is very understandable to follow.
I’m so very glad I came across this video and it is amazing!! I can’t wait to start making these. Thank you so very much for sharing!
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!
Fabulous. You are a great teacher and I appreciate your detailed instructions.
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!
I've made 2 of these today. And plan to keep making more. So much easier than the other video i was following. Thank you!
Jess , thanks enjoy watching your tutorials. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you!! I just finished making this as a gift for my daughter and have another one cut out to make for my husband. Your tutorial was fantastic!
I have tried lots of box pouch patterns but this is easily THE BEST. Forget the others. This is the one! Thank you.
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!!!!
I absolutely love watching all your tutorials! They’re so easy to follow! 💕👍🏼
Thank you Sara!
I'm new to sewing and yours is the best tutorial I've seen... you explain everything one step at a time... thank you x
This is a fantastic tutorial. Excellent at explaining. Thank you so much. I have never done anything like this before and it turned out so great.
So stinking cute! I made one with all quilt cotton with fussiable fleece and SF 101 my grandson will love all the dinasores
Your teaching and methods are great! I’ve made 3 of these bags One this size and 2 of the larger ones following the link you have given. All turned out very nice! Appreciate greatly!
Hi Jess, Thank you for a great tutorial. Love what you sew. Love watching you. You explain everything beautifully. Thank you again.
"Sewjo" makes me chuckle. Love it!!!
Haha it's a pretty silly term!
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 😁❤️❤️🍀
Love this sew easy. Especially for first time with vinyl. Thank you Jess
Thank you Sandra!
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!
This is it. This is what I’m going to make for a Christmas Craft exchange 😍
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.
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 ❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I am 84 and still sewing. I am doing Christmas presents. I will use your video when I make one. Thanks again.
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!
Great tutorial. By far my favorite bag to make
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!
Your directions are meticulously accurate. Thank you so much! Love this boxy bag! 🥰
Oh thank you!
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
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!
Excellent tutorial with comprehensive explanations & visuals. Thank you.
Thank you for this very instructive tutorial. Truly appreciate it!
Great instructions and lots of wonderful tips. Thanks very much.
Made this with you today. Great tutorial. Thank you!’
I finally tried mesh, I've done other bags without, but you did a great job explaining every step (as always) thanks!
Very nice! You are a great instructor. Wonderful tips. Thank you.
Very good video, Jess. You are concise, up beat, and very encouraging. I look forward to making this boxy bag.
Thank you so much Cathy! That's very kind of you to say.
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.
Love the sword and the stone fabric!!😍
Isn't it great? I love love love Backstitch Fabrics!
I’ve watched so many of your videos in the last couple days. You have such great energy.
Thank you Liz!
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.
I love your tutorials!! So easy to follow!😀
You are an amazing teacher. Thanks for the great tutorial!! Looking forward to more from you!!
Thank you June!
Amazing love love love. ❤️ Definitely going make them as gift their so amazing thank you for the amazing video and instructions ❤️
I made finally circled back to give this version of a boxy bag a try. This is now my favorite pattern for this bag by far. The corners came out perfect and it holds its shape so well, the vinyl bottom also kinda elevates the whole look. I completely goofed and sewed one of my lining panels upside-down though 🤦♀️ whoops! Still turned out cute and my mother loves it so thats all that matters! Thanks so much for the tutorial! 😊
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!
Aww thank you Wendy! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy the tutorials.
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.❤
Thank you for the wonderful and easily explained video. You really made it easy to follow.
This was awesome! Been looking for a good tutorial for bags I can make as gifts! This’ll be perfect!
I think these would be great gifts, Taylor! Thank you so much for watching!
I just recently started sewing and you have the best tutorial. Thank you.

I can't wait to make these for Christmas presents.
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
;)
This is the absolute best tutorial!!! I just started sewing and I made this bag with no problem. Thank you!
That's fantastic to hear Deanna! I love love love these bags, I use them for everything! It means so much to hear you made one!
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.
Thank you Janet! That means a lot to hear.
Great bag! Thanks for showing it! Can’t wait to make it x100!

Hi I’m so glad I found ur TH-cam channel. I love all the different projects u do.
Thank you, Sandra! I'm trying to offer a little something for everyone! I'm so glad you stopped by.
Okay, "Sewjo," that cracked me up! I enjoy your sense of humor. Great tutorial, too. Thanks for sharing your time and talent.
Thanks for watching Elle!
Another GREAT video, thank you.
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!
Congratulations!! It's not the easiest bag, you should feel so proud of yourself!
This is my second boxy bag with the mesh panels.. the mesh panels are a bit tricky.. but love these bags! Your tutorials are awesome !
