I use food safe PUL from Wazoodle and asked their support team about wrong and right side. Was told depends on use. When using the Food safe PUL, the shiny side is the food safe side and used against the food.
Thank you Beth! After your email I reached out to them as well. The food safe said is the shiny side, but the fabric side is also safe to use, just not tested for foods at various temperatures like the shiny side is (it might stain, too, with liquid foods). I really appreciate your help and advice! One day I'll get the ride side of PUL right in a video!
I love the clarity of your instructions, always giving the “why” as well as the “what.” It is SO helpful, especially to those of us who are “bag beginners.” Thank you!
I made 15 of these this weekend for my son’s upcoming wedding shower and I plan on doing 15 more before Saturday! It’s truly addicting lol. I am having so much fun coordinating fabrics and zippers!
Thank you for this tutorial, it was wonderful! I will add though that I hate PUL with an unholy passion. I made 3 pouches - I laughed, I cried, I rage snacked. But, most importantly, I now have 3 cute snack pouches and I feel like making 1000 more. Thank you xx
I am surprised this channel hasn't blown up. Its perfect. I cant even decide which video to watch next....did she just say fat quarter friendly? Love it.
I’ve been following your videos for quite some time and this is my first comment. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching. I find your videos thoroughly relaxing and very inspiring. You’re very humble, well spoken, prepared, encouraging and organized. I’ve watched other bag makers on TH-cam but hands down you’re my favourite. All the best from a Canadian fan 😊
Well Maureen Kent I’m new to the channel and actually just stumbled across it and love her too! I couldn’t put what you just posted in better words so high five to you and please Mrs Jess from OKLAROOTS -you just keep on going girl!! I was like OH YEAH OH YEAH 💃🏼💃🏼 I’m fixing to sew my very first project and the only down fall I see is I’m on a diet and think they’re so darn cute I already want to fill it up with snacks😂😂😉😉 seriously you have a fantastic adorable personality you even get my hubby to chuckle a bit!!! Thank you for your hard work!!!
I luv all your videos. I am trying the Guadeloupe Bag, but, there are only 2 tutorials and they are both blah blah and don't follow the pattern so, all I can do is look at my cut out pattern pieces and hope that you will someday do a tutorial on it. Hoping..... Belinda.
Oohhh...I think I might add a divider to mine🤔!! For grapes/strawberries or popcorn/chocolate. Great, now I'm hungry!! Thanks for another cutie project Jess!!
love your tutorials i’ve been watching them non stop for weeks. it think i’m going to use this method, size it up to a cross body size and a couple of little zip pockets and a strap. i love how simple it is. xx
Finally! A video that doesn't mess around with fiddly little zipper tabs! I have been wondering why nobody does what you just did. When you say, "we," are you talking you and your mom, or the royal we? Just wondering. I have been meaning to make a batch of these, so now you have inspired me! Thanks from Orlando.
Your tutorial videos are excellent! Thorough, clear, succinct and perfect camera work.I do have 1 question, I'm wondering how much you sell these snack bags for when they're in your store? Thank you very much for sharing your projects.
Awesome Tutorial, Jess! Thank you. I am thinking I will swap out insulbright for fusible fleece to make it usable to keep cold snacks in. I need to eat on a regular basis to keep my blood sugars from dropping (I'm hypoglycemic) and I like to have string cheese or Greek yogurt cups on hand for my snacks. 😊 While it wouldn't keep the items cold for hours on end, it would keep them cool for an afternoon trip out to the park or for errands.
Thanks for this tutorial… I made a bunch in my own design snack bags for my family with Wazoodle PUL… we all absolutely love them. And no more single use plastic zippy bags. Wazoodle company is in the town I grew up in… it’s MADE IN USA Bensalem, PA!!! PUL tip- use a roller presser foot, or a teflon foot to prevent slipping… also, Janome blue tip sewing machine needle is amazing for sewing this… my Schmetz needles were sticking before a local shop owner suggested it… and I don’t have a Janome- works with any standard machine.
I have been sewing for years and have made many little pouches like this one so I almost didn't listen to this video BUT I am so glad I did!!! If someone has never made one the instructions are about the best I have ever watched. Plus, I even learned some wonderful tricks I wasn't using that I will definitely use in the future. So impressed I decided to subscribe - you should too.
I just stumbled upon your channel and I am so happy I did. I have never seen one person have so many different bag tutorial options. I was tired of the same kind of tote bag and zipper pouch. Your bags are beautiful.
I bought everything to make snack bags, and now I can say I was waiting for this boxed-corner-amazingness instead of procrastinating. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Thanks for another great tutorial!
Gahhh, I just made this bag and it’s so adorable. I didn’t make it as a snack bag but to put wires in and I’m going to make many more and eventually snack ones when I get food grade fabric. I love it so much. I used denim for the bottom and cotton canvas for the top and water proof ripstop for the lining. The tutorial was so helpful.
This would be great in my workplace. I work in corrections and we can only bring in clear items. I love your clear pouch items and this will be on my list for my coworkers.
I made one of these for my sewing machines parts with Tula pink sewing machine fabric and I just love it so much !! I will be making more. Thank you Jessica so much
These are so cute! Thank you so much for your videos! I do love them!! Question, I didn’t think vinyl is washable. Whenever I find it in the fabric store it says spot clean only, or something like that. Is there a certain kind to buy that is machine washable?
Thanks for this idea. I love it 🥰 I am going to make one for my husband for Father’s Day. He eats peanut M&Ms and we always have those bags rip open too far and food on the floor. This will be great. I may use my embroidery machine to monogram Dad’s Candy on the top part on yellow fabric and brown vinyl on the bottom like M&Ms. Also thanks for the link to the PUL fabric. You mentioned it in the Petal Bag tutorial and I never heard of it, but it wasn’t linked there.
You can also use an M&M bag to make the snack bag!! Carefully cut apart the M&M bag, and apply iron on vinyl on top. Fussy cut to center the design for the upper piece, then use it like regular fabric. You can search TH-cam and Google for tutorials with videos! 🥰
Hi Jess, great tutorial as always. Just had a quick question please. Can you machine wash and dry waterproof canvas? I am new at sewing bags and could not find the answer anywhere. I would love to use it inside bags. Thank you!
I've made many bags similar to this over the years. I really like how you do the zipper on this and that was great for me to learn. It was much easier to sew the sides together though, past the zipper end areas with my zipper foot. Thanks for the great tutorial...
As always, a great and thorough tutorial. Actually this is the best one I've watched of many many many on making a small zippered pouch. Covers all the usual questions and gives all the needed reminders!! Thank you:)
What a cute pattern! And great tutorial as always! I wonder if you could use a strip of tearway when you are sewing the pull and then rip it off when you are done.
I love this little snack bag, just followed along and made my own. I added my initial instead of a tag. Your instructions are very clear, thank you so much. 😁
I'm loving the plaid (check) fabric....where did you get it? Also, would you consider making a stroller bag that velcros onto the back handle..snack ,sunglasss holder, phone holder in one..?
So cute and fun! They're so nice its hard to believe that they're for snacks🤩 this is truly the best idea and machine washable that's awesome! Thank you and as always stay well🙂
Hi, I am new to embroidering. After watching you several times I have decided to make a bag. It was intimidating at first but your description was so easy to watch and understand. I do have a question. Who helped you get your website up and running? TY
I LOVE THIS! Can you tell me what "weight" PUL you generally use for your snack bags? I want to make sure what I use will do the job, but don't want to spend more than necessary so I can make my bags affordable to my customer base, but still hold their goodies!
Just tried my first snack bag, first time using pull, first time using a zipper. I have to say it’s pretty cute, just don’t look to closely at the lining, lol.
Jess, In your description you suggest Cork or Vinyl (I assume Marine Vinyl) for the bottom cuts. Could you please let me know how do those materials do in machine washing? Thanks!
I just saw this video a few days ago and I have questions on "food Safe" PUL fabric. I bought some PUL and was alarmed at the chemical smell. How and where did you validate it is "food safe"? Thanks,
I love love your videos. I use your sewing projects nearly exclusively so I can access your videos. They are the best .Thank you. I have made several of these snack bags and I love them. However, I was uncertain about the PUL fabric. In this video, you instruct to use the fabric-like side as front which means it lies next to the food. I have watched and re-watched and hope I am correct in interpreting your instruction. Since I was confused, I contacted Wazoodle about the PUL fabric and they were very clear that the 'shiny' side should be next to the food. Please let me know where I have confused this issue. Thanks!!!
Hi Jess. And many of your tutorials you talked about your waterproof canvas. Where do you purchase your waterproof canvas? You have such cute prints and nice colors and anything I have seen online it just looks like industrial strength like for boats and stuff like that. I've looked at a few of your tutorial links and I've not seen it listed in there. Thank you very much. If you don't mind me asking what do you sell your snack bags for? I'm thinking of making some of these to try and sell at craft fairs or just online. If you're not comfortable giving that information I totally understand.
I have made these out of fat quarters and pul fabric I just throw them in the wash on delicate and then in the dryer on low or delicate they come out fine but I'm not sure with the vinyl but the quote and the pul, perfectly
It's actually good to throw PUL fabric in the dryer. It actually helps bring it back to life (tightens up the stretch,etc). It was a trick I learned from someone. I'm not sure about the vinyl though.
Hi Jess, great tutorial! ❤️ I was wonder what size zip you use here, #5? Also, what is your favorite to use on pouches, #3, #4.5 or #5? I've been trying to find cute nylon, metallic #4.5 zips & i'm not having luck. Have you seen those before? Thanks!! 😊
Chips and dry snacks would probably be OK for awhile, longer in Denver than in Jacksonville. Peanut butter and jelly would be OK but not stuff that is wet or needs to be kept cold.
I use food safe PUL from Wazoodle and asked their support team about wrong and right side. Was told depends on use. When using the Food safe PUL, the shiny side is the food safe side and used against the food.
Thank you Beth! After your email I reached out to them as well.

I really appreciate your help and advice! One day I'll get the ride side of PUL right in a video!
So which side are we supposed to use for the bags?
Shiny side if food involved. Cleans easier
I love the clarity of your instructions, always giving the “why” as well as the “what.” It is SO helpful, especially to those of us who are “bag beginners.” Thank you!
I made 15 of these this weekend for my son’s upcoming wedding shower and I plan on doing 15 more before Saturday! It’s truly addicting lol. I am having so much fun coordinating fabrics and zippers!

I just love how you film your tutorials!!! They are so straight forward with clear instructions and great camera angles! ❤️💕

Top-notch tutorial, as always. Thank Jess for taking the time to teach!

Thank you for the explanation on the Pul material. I thought I was doing something wrong. It was over stretching. I threw the project in the garbage.
I just made my first bag! Using your tutorial for the snack bags it's fabulous my mum will love it!
Great little tutorial. Such a handy little pouch with so many uses.
I really want to add these to my products of my small business, I currently sell scrunchies and headbands :)
Yes this is adorable. You also give good clear instructions!! Thanks
This is a really good size pouch, perfect for not to small fabric scraps.
I'll be making these for grandkids going back to school. 👏🏼👏🏼👍😉
Thank you Jessica ! Will be making these ! Your videos make my Mondays

Try making your own beeswax linings for your bags. Just wipe with cool water. Refresh wax about once a year
What a great tutorial! I'll have to give this a try
I made 3 last night in about an hour. Love them. Thanks for the tutorial.

Love Wazoodle. They have great fabrics!! Used them for years! The idea of the flat bottom is great!!
They really have SUCH an amazing selection!
just placed my first order for the food approved PUL thanks for the link
you are so very informative and so easy to understand. Thank You
As always, a great and thorough tutorial. Actually this is the best one I've watched of many many many on making a small zippered pouch. Covers all the usual questions and gives all the needed reminders!! Thank you:)
Great video, I need to make some of these. And of course I happen to have the blue pul, so thanks for the stretch maintenance tips 😉
What a cute pattern! And great tutorial as always! I wonder if you could use a strip of tearway when you are sewing the pull and then rip it off when you are done.
Awesome snack bags! I will definitely be making some. Love your tutorials, you are always so upbeat.
I luckily have a Teflon presser foot and zipper foot. Great bag!
Best zipper tapes EVER!
Love It!! Making these for my grand babies :) Thank you! Question...Where do you purchase you zippers? Thanks in advance
I love this little snack bag, just followed along and made my own. I added my initial instead of a tag. Your instructions are very clear, thank you so much. 😁

I wish there was an ITH embroidery version. Great video!!
💕😍💕 I love how simple and cute this is ! Thank you for sharing
Isn't it? I love that too. Sometimes we just need quick and clean.
Amazing as always. 😘
Awwww thank you!
So cute and fun! They're so nice its hard to believe that they're for snacks🤩 this is truly the best idea and machine washable that's awesome! Thank you and as always stay well🙂
Thank you! And they really are so loved. We've made these for so many friends (and friends of other family members) and they're used constantly.

Not heard of this in UK, will definitely give them a go xx
Let me know how it goes!
thank you, like it
Thank you
I love this little bag Jess! Thank you for sharing the measurements. How much do you sell them for ?
The link for the pul fabric isnt work... dang it! Hopefully, that issue will resolve. I know it's not your doing.
Fabulous video, per the usual! 😁❤🙂🥰
This is awesome! any idea where to get the zipper tape? Thanks jess
how much do you sell this for? I love the zipper tabs
I checked out her website.. $28.00
Great Project. What kind of zipper tape do you use and where do you purchase it from?
Cute! How much do you charge for them?
So cute! I'm going to make some!

Where did u get this rainbow zipper? And can home machine see right over the teeth?
Hi. Have you heard of odicoat ? It is painted on fabric to make it waterproof.😃
Love these Jess. Thank you for sharing. I don't see them in your shop. Do you have some listed?
Not yet! We'll have them listed soon though
I make my tabs longer so joined into seam.always have. I can't comprehend why you are doing it like bias binding.

How does your vinyl hold up in the wash? Anything I don’t have to wash by hand is top notch for me 😅
how much do you sell them for?
I have found that it is easier to sew with the PUL on the bottom.
Do you dry this in the dryer after washing in the machine or air dry? Thanks.
You should probably air dry, but we do stick them in the dryer as well. Just not on a really hot setting.
@@OklaRoots Thanks!

I've been trying to find cute nylon, metallic #4.5 zips & i'm not having luck. Have you seen those before? Thanks!! 😊
How do these go when it comes to freshness? Do the chips go stale, do the sandwiches go off? Would love to know. Thanks 😊
Chips and dry snacks would probably be OK for awhile, longer in Denver than in Jacksonville. Peanut butter and jelly would be OK but not stuff that is wet or needs to be kept cold.
Love this I going to made some.for my shop.how much do you sell them for.thanks God.bless
How about putting your tag on the seam? Lol- half on top, half on bottom. :)
Do you have a PDF of this bag and a larger size?
I would like to purchase both, if you could please post the link here.
