Please help me with the boxing of the corners. They never come out Even. I have to keep redoing them, so the bag is not lopsided. What is the trick to doing them right and easy. Thank you.
Margaret Bachmeier OH my goodness I just left a comment with the exact same issues I’m having making this bag. I made one tonight and it’s very uneven. The zipper also doesn’t close right. Please help me too.
@@margaretbachmeier5299 It might be easier to think of the corner like.........when you fold it to the point, right down the middle seam measure 1/2" down and draw you line across. it is the same as the other method, but instead of trying to keep a 1" on each side,. you just measure Down 1/2" and mark across. maybe that will help.
I knew there had to be a better way of boxing those corners. I made a small bag earlier, same design but from another channel. I got totally flustered when she cut the corners *before* stitching. I like this way much better. I think the key is to use thin lining fabric so those corners aren't too bulky.
Super cute! Fun and easy to make thank you for great tutorial!!!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE bag to make!!! I’ve literally spend the past few days watching tutorials for zippered bags, trying to find the perfect one. THIS IS, BY FAR, my very favorite. Thank you so much!!
Agreed!!!!!
I know you have a video for a larger bag for dog walking, but I think this is great for that purpose. My daughter clips a small bag to the leash. I think she will love this for that purpose. Thank you.
Love this little bag!!! Just subscribed to your channel and cannot wait to make more of your awesome projects. Blessings!
Hi, just found this tutorial on sunday , and I am now addicted to making them and there is something you need to know....I am not a sewer and have never put a zip in anything before Monday I am now on bag number 10 your tutorial was excellent,they are being used as mask holders, so just wanted to say thankyou 😊
Thats so awesome I'm going to make a couple today
I love this itty bitty boxy bag I put a grommet in the other side of the bag and it is perfect for doggy poopoo bags and pull them out the grommet one at a time
I'm starting a small sewing/knitting/needlecraft class for the local community at Hope St, my local social services joint. Needless to say, there isn't much $$$ for fabric, so this tutorial and many others on your channel are a godsend for me as they don't use much fabric and I can source them from scraps from Hope St's op-shop. Indeed, your tutorials are travelling from your place, to my place, and into the hands of the homeless and disenfranchised at Hope St in Woolloomooloo, Sydney Australia - so, thanks a million, Jess! And please keep the scrappy projects coming! ;-)
Wow Helena, that's absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for the work you're doing for your community. I 100% believe that when we find we can create something with our hands, we value ourselves so much more. I hope your students love making these and take pride in their work. Thank you for sharing this with me!
@@OklaRoots I couldn't agree more, Jess! ;)
Helena Angelina quilt time
@@georgiannabarrus9757 Yeah, I'm into sewing clothes and bags, but have never touched a quilt - yet! But I was thinking that a t-shirt quilt could be cool, because we have access to loads of second hand clothes. ;)
I love your tutorials coz it is not skipping steps. For beginners like me it is an absolute help. Thanks 🙏
I have made 5 or 6 of these assembly line style while watching along with you and made matching wristlet straps for them. Your tutorial was so easy to follow! Thank you!! ❤️
Your videos have really helped me fall back in love with sewing again! I’ve seen tons of sewing videos and none have actually made me dust off the sewing machine till I found your channel 😂
That's such a kind compliment Ashley. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I can't wait to hear what you make!
Thank you!!!!! I was able to use your instructions to make myself an unusually long key holder that hides the rest of the keys I'm not using at any time. Had to be long for a very long key I have to carry around all the time. Made mine out of Japanese fabric and I love it. What a star you are, lovely easy clear instructions. I am absolutely buzzing with joy!
These are adorable!! What a great idea for keys when I’m walk/running.
Right? They are fun to make too.
When I’m doing my walks, I also always carry my inhaler & my nitrotabs, as well as Kleenex & my phone! Not sure if these are big enough to put your phone in, but it wouldn’t be hard to adjust the dimensions to accommodate one!
I finally made a couple today.. Soooooo easy. I love them. Great way to use up scraps. I am going to put mine on lanyards .....from Brisbane Australia. xx
I just discovered your videos the past week and I'm hooked! I just started sewing in February and you are by far the easiest person to follow for sewing tips and advice! Thank you for the videos! Can't wait to try this one!
Boy, you thought of everything! thank you for the time stamps as I make a bag along with you!
Thank you so much for making tutorials. I'm only just getting started and it's so helpful to see it done instead of looking at a pattern. Much love Jess!!
Thank you! I'm happy this helps!
Omgoodness I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed your video!! I have sewn for YEARS but learned a few new things just watching you. I LOVE the leader material so much that I played just that part back a few times and then stopped the video to give it a try. THANK YOU!
Fantastic tutorial for a cute and useful pouch. I will make this to attache to the handle of my dog's leash so I always have treats for him. Will be especially useful in summertime when I don't always have a pocket.
Great video!! You are my favorite channel at the moment.. I get up everyday and check to see if you have a new video.. Thank you for all the free patterns that are the BEST!!
That's so sweet Jamie! I wish I could put out a new video every day!
Me too
Once again, late to the party...but I just made one of these for my daughter’s dolls...as a “cosmetics bag!” So cute!
Thanks for sharing this tutorial!!! Your instructions are so easy to follow and I can't wait to get started on making these boxy bags!!!
I am so obsessed with making these. They are so cute.
You are the sweetest and so generous with your ideas and patterns. Blessings and success to you. ❤️🙏. I know what I am going to make today.
Thank you Caroline! Let me know if you make one!
Hi Jess. Just want to thank you for this tutorial. I love it! I’ve made numerous bags , but none small like this one. Planning giving them as gifts to my co workers with goodies inside. Keep making tutorials,, love them all!
Hi Jess! I made my first itty bitty boxy bag tonight and I just love 'em! I am starting to make holiday gifts and these little beauties will be included in all of my gift giving. Thank you so much for making this tutorial and for making it so EASY to understand! I'll be making basic boxy bags too! :)
Thank you. I will be making these as wonderful wee gifts for sure
Just made one along with you. Love it!!! Will be making more.
These little boxybags are adorable thank you so much for sharing Jess🤟🏼💖✨❣️
I'm glad you like them!
I’ve been watching all sorts of box pouch videos this week, and this is the first one that mentions the fusible fleece will shrink! Thanks!
Jess, thank you for the great patterns that you are sharing with all of us. With the craziness going on in the world you are giving us ideas to let our imaginations create art, in the form of bags and purses...thank you so much!
Thank you! I do hope these videos can help folks get their minds off of the mess, just for a moment.
Just an FYI for anyone making these, Walmart also sells the spiral plastic bracelets in the hair accessories department.
That's a great tip, thank you Glenda!
That's awesome to know! Thank you Glenda!
I got my spiral plastic bracelets from my local Dollar Tree store. For anything I need, I always look in the DT first.
@@veevee111 what do they cost?
@@janetmcadamsbailey1874 $1.00
Once again you show yourself to be a star 🌟 bet your mum is proud ... thank you so much X
Awww thank you! Mama OklaRoots loves these things. She was excited I ::finally:: made a tutorial to share with you all!
So cute! Thank you for the great and clear instructions. Will def be making these!
I watched several tutorials on these little bags and yours was the best. Very straightforward and easy. Thank you for putting this together.
Too kind of you to share this adorable boxy bag! Perfect teachers gifts. Going to make a bunch for my granddaughters preschool teachers to put a small hand sanitizer and chap stick while watching the kids outside. Thank you!
Awwww that's such a sweet idea Kathy! I agree, great for teachers. Makes it easy for them to take out to the playground as well.
So cute Jess. Thank you 😀
I have watched this video over and over again and now made about 10 mini bags. Thank you for your great tutoring via your excellent descriptions and filming. Only been using a machine for the last few months. Loving sewing.
That's fantastic!!
I LOVE this. Just made my first one. Thanks Jess!
I love these boxy bags!!!!!
These are so cute! ❤ what a thoughtful gift for any occasion!❤🤗
I honestly can't think of anyone who wouldn't like this as a gift. It's just so handy!
Thats a great little bag! Perfect for garage sale hopping!
These are adorable ❣️
And the tip on fusible interfacing has helped answer a question about my interfacing for years thank you 🙏
When you were hand sewing there closing I had to lol cause I saw a mouth smiling at me 🤣
Haha I think the bag liked being on camera! I'm glad this video could help!
Very professional tutorial. Straight and to the point! Thank you so much.
Thank you Lisa!
I have become slightly obsessed with these little gems!!!! 🇦🇺😊
Thanks Jess for showing this. You showed me so details as usual. I’ve been making this for dog poop bag pouch😍.
Thank you Jess for sharing this and how we can use our scraps to make these insanely cute itty bitty boxy bags! Maybe you could do a series of what else you make with your scraps...love how you teach and explain things as your passion is contagious ❤️
I try to include scrappy projects as often as possible. I also love ways to use them. Great idea!
What a great idea for diabetics!!! I carry mine with lollies & a laminated card saying Type 1 Diabetic. You can make them slightly bigger to fit an insulin pen & glucometer in too. Love it!!!
This would make a great notions pouch for knitters/crocheters. I am so making some of these for my friends! Thank you.
Awww these will be great friend gifts Julie!
Wow, that's a good idea. It's very handy. I can see myself using this.
I use these WAY more than I thought I would. They're just so easy to carry.
I just finish one and i truly adore. Thank you
I have made very many of these, as coin purses and poop bags. Thank you so much for the “leader fabric” tip!!!!!
I found this video a few months ago and have watched it several times and finally made one tonight, it was so easy and fun to make, thank you for the tutorial! These are going to be awesome stocking stuffers! Happy holidays!
These little bags are great. I am going to sew up as many as I can
Excellent, clear tutorial. Thank you! Lovely that you put the dimensions onscreen!
I'm glad it was helpful Christine!
So made 2 of these, one for when I go walking and one for my inhaler. O think many more to come!! Thank you for your clear instructions 😃
That's an incredible use for these! I'm so happy you like them!
Was in need of a small pouch for my shampoo bar. At the last minute desided not to box the corners. Love it!
They are so additive!!! I started making them and couldn't stop love to watch your videos plz never stop!!!!!
Haha thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial. You made it so easy for me. I am so grateful for your guidance. I learned the “leader” piece of fabric from you and that little trick is amazing! Wish I knew that earlier in my sewing life. Love my itty bitty and planning on making more.
Wow that is such a great idea about the ‘leader’ piece of fabric at the sewing machine! I also wish I had known about this years ago!
I'm going to use this to keep my contact lens case and my mini contact lens solution bottle. This is such a great idea. Thank you so much ❤️
That's such a great idea!
Great tutorial. A year ago I was afraid to try it. Today, different story and it came out terrific because of your instructions. Thank you so much!!!
thank you for the clear instructions and for using a whole zipper!
Love this tiny bag!! Thanks for the tutorial!!
Thankyou again Jess I'll be making these for my friends and family by the way your tutorials always brighten my day have a great day
That means a lot to hear Teresa, thank you!
Your instructions are superb! I've made so many. The bag is so cute! Thank you!!❤
Thank you for the detail, very helpful.
I love your videos! You give amazing instructions and you are so joyful.
Aww thank you Anna!
What amazingly clear instructions ! Thankyou.
Thanks Jean!
Thank you so much for sharing this great project. I love your tutorials because you explain every step so precise. You also give little helper tips as well like the starter cloth I use this all the time and it helps. 😀
Thank you so much Janette! I actually learn a lot of these tips in the comments of my videos. It's so amazing how the sewing community comes together to help each other!
I’ve just learned, literally just yesterday, to help with thread nesting, hold the tails as you take the first few stitches. Has helped me immensely!
That's such a great tip! I've only started doing the same recently. Such a game changer!
omg thank you so much for this tutorial...I have been trying to get into sewing to help relax and you videos are really very well explained and thorough. I was finally able to make something. I have attempted to quilt and that is just daunting...this was the perfect project and the way you explain things in the video made me feel like it was something I could accomplish and I did....the little bag is so darn cute too...thanks again.
Tripped across your Boxy Bag tutorial late last year and decided to give it a try. Loved it so much turned it into the project of month for my girlfriends get together crafting day. Then the itty bitty boxy bag tutorial came out and I knew I had to make it for when I travel. Unfortunately all travel came to halt but enjoyed the pattern and added some travel phrases on them with my Cricut Joy and Cricut Easy Press. My friend who is a teacher loved this pattern so much she used them as prizes which she mailed to her math students to encourage them while teaching online. Thank You for your wonderful tutorials and looking forward to trying additional ones.
That's incredible Kendria! Awww I love hearing how these are being used. Thank you so much for sharing this with me!
I found your project perfect for gifts n give-a-away for any occasion. Ty for sharing.
Wonderful! These are such fun little gifts!
Thank you so much, absolutely love the way you teach.... 👌
Thank you Marie!
Loved this, it turned out perfectly xx
This is my favorite tutorial you’ve done. I’m going to make one today.
I hope it turned out great Diane!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! One day I will make itty bitty bags but this morning I made much larger ones for knitting tools. Worked except
I did not box them this time. Thank you ever so much!
AWWW i loooove this little boxy bag!!
They are pretty addicting to make!
You are absolutely right!! They are adorable. I am new to sewing so I'm going to try one this weekend. I've made a few wonky quilted totes but it's been some time. So, here goes...
You can do it! This is a great practice bag because it uses such a small amount of fabric.
I love these pouches!! I’m making a bunch for all my friends at work. i loved the way they turned out. Thanks so much for sharing :-)
These are just SUCH great little gifts!
Great instructions! I have already made one and it is perfect. I will be making more! Thank you!
That's fantastic! They are pretty fun to make.
I’m so glad I found your channel. Your videos are the best. No needless yakking, just great directions. I also appreciate the timestamps. But I just realized that if you click on the time you can go directly to that portion of the video (I have been sliding across at the bottom of the video). Thanks again!
Timestamps are the best, Connie! I'll be honest, sometimes I do get yakky (which is how the timestamps were born). I'm happy to hear you enjoy the videos!
You are a wonderful teacher ! I’m not a very good sewer but I’m excited to try this project. Thank you.
You can do it! Let me know if you have any questions!
This was great! I was able to make four of these from scraps last night. Your instructions are so good! Thank you!
That's fantastic Tracey!
What a great tutorial! Your instructions were very clear. I definitely will make a few
of these! Thank you!
Have fun Diane! It'a hard to make just one.
Jess = This is an awesome looking project! Thank you for sharing!💕
Anytime Judy! Thank you for watching.
You explain things very well! Thank you for a cute project
Thank you Sandy!
Your instructions are very clear, good teacher. Thank you
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say!
These are so cute!! I want to make them for all my nieces now. I had a thought that they’d be great for carrying dog poop bags too!
Sew adorable!! Love that they fit a credit card easily
Yes! That was the one downside to the 200+ I made years ago, couldn't fit a card.
They are so cute I’m going to try and make one. Thank you for video
I found these perfect for a Valentine's Day gift for my 3 grand daughters. Thank you.
You know on Valentine’s Day the dollar tree is very resourceful. Place to get the supplies.❤
Love this tutorial, from a fellow Okie
Love your tutorial....Welldone.
I love these itty bitties. I have made several and gifted them to my granddaughers who use them on their back packs and sport bags. I make mine from left over quilt blocks. I have a box of rogue blocks and if a block isn't quite big enough I just add some borders to it.
Just love these Jess! I'm making them as mask holders in oil cloth, so cute. Also thank you for the fab tip of a leader bit of fabric, my machine is behaving now! No more chewing fabric! Thank you and keep up the fab work xxx from Stockport UK xx
I'm so happy to hear that!
Have you made this in a bigger size and what size would you recommend as easiest. Love this patter as I am looking for a simple boxed pouch with no showing seams. Thank you.
Love this video! I have been making and giving out as gifts with small hand sanitizers in them. Happy to use up all of my pretty scraps! Thank you!
That is THE BEST gift to give out, especially right now!
Are you making them bigger to fit?
Love these!! I just followed along and your instructions are perfect! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Your videos are great. You’re so easy to follow. I’m usually a quilter but you’re turning me into a bag maker. I just finished this one and I’m about to try your shopping bag.
Thank you! That's such a kind compliment. I started as a quilter as well, these small bags are a nice break.
OH! How did I miss this! My first (and only Disney Cruise so far) was 5 years ago, but I would have totally done something! Now I want to plan another just so I can do something like this. :D
Right Tina?! I'm seriously close to booking another cruise, just to share these (maybe to do a few other things as well...)
