I've watched many videos on zippers. One thing I've had issues with is which direction the pocket fabric print should be facing, before you sew, and cut the hole for the zipper to pull through. Everyone either does it so fast, or uses fabric that's hard to tell. Thanks for using fabric print that made it easy to see, and at a speed we can see.
Ursula, TH-cam gives us the option to speed up or slow down videos. Click on the gear, which is the settings icon, and drop down that menu to the playback speed option. I find it very useful for videos where the content poster speaks too quickly, and even for the slower ones I have the option to change the speed to my liking. Hope it helps you.
Clear, quick tutorial covering all points needed to add a functional zipper pouch; added detail on how to shorten a zipper at both ends is helpful. Pleasant presentation that didn’t waste my time. Thanks so much!
Hi Alfreden. So glad the inside zipper pocket tutorial was helpful. Learn how to make a tote bag using foam: th-cam.com/video/EgEOgDMoIBw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
Thanks for using contrasting color thread and no background music. This was very instructive. I would also include that nylon zipper coils are better to use if you need to make shorter. Very helpful.
Hi Sherrill, from South Australia! I am really pleased that I watched this tutorial! You have made it look like I could actually DO this!! I am going to follow your Tote Bag design with the 2 colours for a friend's 70th Birthday gift & I think I can put a zip with inside pocket in it as well now too. I am thrilled! You explain everything nice and slow and use dark thread so we can SEE where you have sewn in your tutorials. Thank you SEW much!! 😊
Hi Country Blossoms. Nice to hear a viewer so far away. Glad the tote bag with inside pocket was helpful. I am sure your friend will enjoy the bag. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thank you for sharing your video. I get soo turned around when trying to do a zipper and then frustration sets it. You explained the zipper process so well. Thank you so much.
Thank you for simplifying this process for me. So many versions are out there and your method seems like I can insert a zipper with little effort. Great tutorial.
Hi Karen. Glad the zipper pocket tutorial was helpful. Here is a link on how to install a zipper into a garment: th-cam.com/video/LwabqmeHbUQ/w-d-xo.html Hope this helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Hi Sherrill, I hope you can help me troubleshoot the puckering, 4:37 which seems to be in almost every video I've seen on TH-cam using this pocket method. I'm just not sure how to get it to lie flat. Thanks in advance.
Hi Virginia. Not a problem. At 04:37 each long edge is folded so that you can do top stitching on the facing. After stitching push the facing all the way through to the backside. Tug on the corners to help get the corners to lay flat - then press it with your iron. Then place the zipper underneath - pin to hold - stitch the zipper in place. Hope this helps. The pressing with an iron should help. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍💗😍
