I so regularly come back to your channel for guidance and inspiration. I’m so sorry you’re no longer with us Melanie, you were one of a kind. RIP.
Rest in eternal peace and light Melanie💞✨🙏🏼 Thank you for guiding me through so many craft projects that brought me and many friends, family and customers so much joy. Thinking about you and your family during this very difficult time. Fly high beautiful girl❤️❤️❤️
????? She passed away?? 😳🙏
woah, what happened?
What happen to her
I believe it was cancer. You can learn more from her channel.
Thank you to Melanie for the video and to her family for keeping her legacy going for all of us. 💕
RIP Melanie 🙏🏻 you have truly been the one to show me how to quilt, craft, inspire me, and make me a better person. You will truly be missed by not only me but your thousands of friends and subscribers
So pleased that Melanie’s tutorials are still available. Melanie was a wonderful teacher and a truly inspirational lady. It is lovely that her legacy lives on and continues to inspire. Miss you so much. Love to all her family and friends . ❤
Always going to come back to her videos to get some refreshing on sewing and crochet. She was a beautiful person. Gone too soon but never forgotten 💐
Me too!❤
Melanie continues to help and inspire. Thank you to Melanie's family for continuing to allow us access ❤x
Used this tutorial to make a bag to hold my daughters colored pencils today. I’m so glad to still have your videos to help with my projects. It makes me sad knowing you are gone, but I’m hoping that it continues to benefit your family in some way. ❤️
Agreed!! ♥️
Gone but not forgotten, you are forever loved and appreciated! I now watch the videos with my five year old granddaughter, with heartfelt feelings for your family. So Beautiful, Precious Melanie, thank you! Peace and Prayers to your family.
I am just reading the comments, very sad to learn she has passed. I am terrified of zippers and she is just very good at explaining and showing how to do it and not be intimidated. A truly easy to follow along and not get the fear of the zipper. Her tabs for the zipper are very helpful. Now to honor her great video I am going to make the pencil case.
I've made these bags a million times. Thank you so much for keeping her content up 💓💞
I made these pouches when I was in grad school '19 to keep things organized. I made more as gifts for graduating seniors in our church in 2020. Today, I came on to make more for the college bound kids and found out about Melanie.😢 I'm so sad, watched her memorial. Thanks for keeping these videos up. The pouches are beloved by me and those I gave them too. Thank you for your legacy of faith, sweetness and tutorials that were clear, thorough, and easy to follow. Sending lots of love to the family and her maker community.❤❤❤
Thank you for keeping her videos going.
What wonderful person you were helping everyone that loves to sew. Sharing your wonderful knowledge about craft work always smiling and a JOY to watch. Rest in Beautiful Peace Melanie 💓💓💓🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏I will always continue to watch your TH-cam Channel for inspiration God Bless You Always ❤❤❤
Even from the great beyond, she is still teaching! I have struggled with moving that zipper tab while sewing that seam..watching her do it, so easy..I will struggle no more! Rest in peace, Melanie!
Best pencil pouch tutorial I've seen so far on youtube. It's all about the little details. Finishing the ends of the zippers with fabric, hiding all the seam allowances, etc. Excellent job! You have my sub!
Hello
im so glad to see her tutorials. what a beautiful soul.
I am new learning about Melanie. Wanted to make a pencil pouch and she guided me thru her easy tutorial. Struggling watching her such an inspirational soul. But will still learn from her. Thank you for keeping her up on the web to learn from
That’s crazy that she lives on forever with these videos. I mean what a sweetheart. Sad😢
Thank you Melanie. Your videos have always been very useful. RIP beautiful soul. 🙏❤️
Miss this beautiful soul greatly! I hope her hubby and children are beginning to heal.
Ok. I've watched maybe 20 tutorials on this. Yours is the best. Hands down!
Excellent video. You provided just enough detail (where to place stitches, close ups of sewing, lining things up etc.) so that I had all the tips I needed to have my first one come out pretty nice. I'm giving it to a friend for Christmas and I'll definitely be making more of these! Thank you!!!
My first ever zipper project! I did it. Thanks for the easy to understand tutorial.
I've made like 10 of these using other tutorials and they did not come out very nice ( I'm a beginner). ....but watching your tutorial was a game changer!! the zipper tabs and actually leaving the opening in the lining vs outer fabric for inverting it was something no one else was doing. THANKS A MILLION!!
Melanie made this so clear and easy to follow. I've made some and my daughters each made one, too. Melanie continues to help multiple generations to love sewing!
Excellent instructions! My granddaughters ages 6,10 and 12 will be making today with my help! Love your shirt!
Love the quilt behind you in the intro to this project!
OMg thank you so much I wanted a green and white patterned pencil case but couldn't find one. I went to the craft store today and got everything I needed and made one. Keep up the good work
Im not a zipper person, but just got braved and started a week ago. searching for the easiest to do and yours was it! I followed step by step and wow it came out just as you showed ! love it. i used horse fabric also and it looks great! thanks for sharing your knowledge !😊
Melanie passed away a few years ago from cancer. Melanie’s tutorials are priceless. Enjoy them, she made them for us.
A very good demonstration. Thanks. At 89 yers old I will be able to do that one !!!!
A friend of mine works on her own (from home) on special projects (towels, tablecloths, cushions...) for boutique hotels, restaurants, stores. She's happy, found her way, and she's as neat and talented as you are!
Marian Corradi That is so great! Thank you!
Hi Melanie, love love love all your videos, I am a new sewer and have been crocheting for years learned to embroider when I was very young, but even if I am aware of what you are teaching I love to watch it, I always learn something!!! The sewing ones are the ones I learn the most, you are a great teacher and explain things very well, this video I absolutely love how close, the camera is you can really see what you are doing. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for all you do!!!
11:22 just rewatched your tutorial in order to sew some pencil cases for buddy bag foundation .cannot believe I am looking at a beautiful, breathing, inspiring lady who is no longer in our living world . RIP Melanie.
I like the paintbrush fabric, but love watching the video and am in the process of sewing this bag, I have added a quilting to it, this bag is going to be for my friction pen marking pens and mechanical pencils for my sewing cabinet. Thanks so much for making it!!!
Cudos for teaching how to hide the seams. So many bag tutorials leave the seam allowances showing. Even if they are finished they are so much nicer to be inside between the layers. Well done. Also, loved the way your are sewing tabs onto the ends of the zippers. Great job.
Great tutorial!! I like the look of the tabs on the zipper however when I tried sewing in my zipper with tabs into my little zipper pouch I guess I did something wrong because when popping out the corners at the end they just didnt turn out right :( I am still a beginner at sewing and wish I could find a tutorial that showed up close exactly how to sew over them. This is the best detailed and closest one I have found thanks for posting :)
I love this so much! I'm a Special Education teacher and I plan on making these for my kids. What a fun little project!
Loved the way you showed how to do the zipper tabs. They are much neater than what I have done before. Thanks!!!!
Really great tutorial! Thanks for giving close-up, detailed shots for beginners like me!
Awesome instructions and video quality!! Thank you!
+Viv Soares thank you!
Thank you!! I Just finished two basic zippered pouches and 2 box pouches. That is what everyone is getting for Christmas this year. These would work great as make up brush pouches as well!!!
BetCfit haha perfect!! Yep, makeup brushes would be great!
Yeah that's a great present for Christmas because the kids are on break from school and when they go back they have some cool new pencil pouches :)
Best pencil box ever!!!
Not only do I love the pencil bags, but I LOVE your tan! You suit it well :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I have followed your instructions and have now made 2 bags. I wanted to learn from my mistakes and to beat my time! I think your work is beautiful, I'm going to keep practising the zipper bag until I feel really confident, ready to move onto the next project :) xxx
Your tutorials are great! Thanks for sharing.
I have been making your easy zippered box pouch for birthday and Christmas presents.
You're the best teacher! Thank you for your videos!
I like the horse fabric. I think my granddaughter would love a pouch just like it. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thanks Melanie! What a great, straight forward tutorial!!!! Best one I've seen. Have a great day!
RIP Melanie. I have learned so much from you and I will miss you You are my inspiration .
You do zipper tabs like I do, except I cover up the metal tab stop at the end. I think it looks nicer and more finished, and since you've sewn over the zipper to attach it, you don't really need the metal stop anymore. 😊
Very clear tutorial. Great job!
Just what I needed to get inspired! Thanks for the terrific step-by-step instructions with all the tricky bits explained so clearly. Well done indeed.
Great tutorial. love both bags but partial to horses. Want to try as soon as I figure out how my sewing machine works. TFS. Mary
I had been having trouble with the ends of the zipper, you explained so well.thank you
Awesome tut! Loved the details on the zipper tabs and using fewer steps to finish both the lining and outside. Glad I watched this because I would have been trying to figure out that last part forever if I had tried to figure that out by myself.
Lisa Feldmann Glad it's helpful!
You make such cute little bags. I am going to use this pouch for my granddaughter's pencil case. Thanks!
Hey!! All of your tutorials are awesome!! I watched all your crochet one. Some projects I'm definitely gonna be making!! Just started watching your sewing tutorials. Been crocheting for 15yrs. Not much help needed there, just more projects to do. I have only been sewing for maybe 2or 3 yrs total. Never done anything more complicated than just straight stitching. Lots of help needed. Love these pencil pouches. Can't wait to give them a try with my new zipper foot!! Love your channel!! Keep Calm and Stitch On!!
I really like how you do that Zipper tab. Good tip. And nice finished look. Thanks!
Love the way you film. Thank you.
thank you. I had a pattern from cotton and steele and I was confused about their directions concerning the zipper tab. . . you made it clear. thanks!
The best tutorial I´ve seen so far! Thanks a lot! Hugs from Brasil!
you are an excellent teacher and the best zipper done i have seen
Great tutorial! I love the zipper tabs! Makes a little extra room in the pouch and provides an opportunity for more creativity. I just did one today and it’s way better than any others I’ve made.
Very good step by step tutorial. very happy I found your channel!
Can’t wait to make a couple for my daughter for school. This is great
Love your tutorial! The horses are unique but Iam so partial to anything pink I love them both! Thanks!
Adore the arrows! Thanks again for a fantastic tutorial!
The way you stitch is so easy ... I will try making pencil bags for my kids ... thanks. I prefer the horses design too .
Yay so excited for this! I've been trying to find a tutorial! Also yay for zipper tabs!!!!!
I made two this weekend. Thank you. I am going to make some as gifts to donate to kids. The shoeboxes and the angel program in December.
Fab project, I love the fabric with the horse print.
Didn't say which one I liked more. Love the pink arrow one!!
Great tutorial, I'm a total newbie but i have learned so much from your channel, made a few zipper pouches and can't wait to try this one !!! Love the horse print !
LipstickCase oh awesome! Thanks for stopping by!
This was very informative (much better than the class that I just took at Joann's store)....I really like the arrow bag but both bags are adorable!!!
flsunshine2010 I'm glad you found it helpful!
You did a fiiiiiiiiiine job lady! Thanks for a GREAT Video!!!!
Great tutorial!!!
I used a 10 inch zipper and cut my pieces 11 inches by 5 inches (if anyone is using a bigger zip)
Great instructions, easy to follow and very pleasant to listen to, thanks for a short, and informative tutorial!
I liked the red pencil case by the way................................................
Loooove the horse fabric!!!! Very nice work!
~*~ Ana Bella ~*~ Thank you!
I love your tutorials. Can you show us how to make a double and triple zipper pouch or clutch?!
I love this tutorial and I make a really cute pouch from it 😀. I especially love the zipper application.
Thanks for this video
I like the pink with the arrows. Not much for horses. Enjoyed for video. Thanks.
Great video, easily understood & closeups of all.
Both fabrics spoke to me. Good video. Thanks.
I love this video. This is axactly what i want about the zipper ends.
thank u so much for the step -by -step instructions and great quality make slice so much easier.😊✌
i mean "makes life so much easier"
I like your shirt :] and the arrow bag thanks for all the hard work to make it easy for the rest of us
this video is so amazing it taught me so much I never knew how to do it
I think this is a super great tutorial!! I will definitely be making this for the beginning of school. I love how this video makes sense, hopefully I will be able to do it almost as good as you
Danelle Jacobs happy stitching! Don't be discouraged if things don't turn out perfect for your first try... sometimes you need that practice round and the next one will be awesome!
Thanks for sharing. Love the horses.
LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!!
I LOVE THE ARRROW ONE!!
I love this tutorial. I want to try this myself. Great job!!!
I LOVE your shirt! ❤️
Only 30 seconds in... but I wanted to say i LOVE your shirt!!!!
I first read it as "hexi". But, is it a religious tee shirt? Am I reading it right?
yllek82 it's a greater than symbol... so He is greater than i is what says. I wasn't sure what it was at first too! It's a North Shore Hawaii based company ;)
I just made this as my FIRST ever sewing project so wanted to share with you. Of course, i had some difficulty using zipper foot. Please let me know how do I share pictures with you as I need your comment on why my zipper tabs looks different than yours....Thanks.
Great tutorial!!! Love the all pink pouch.
Just made the pencil case tonight! Not as perfect but it works. I will be using it as a money pouch for my cash envelope system.
Great tutorial. I would like topstitching a little further away from the zipper, say 1/4" instead of right next to the zipper seam. Will that in any way affect the construction when sewing the face fabrics and the lining fabrics together around the outside edges of the bag? Thanks!
loved the horse one.....nice video💖💗thank u
Love these! I haven't tried this technique with the zipper tabs yet, but it looks nicely finished!
Wow. Awesome tutorial. Thank you!!
