Thank you!!!! I have used this video several times now to sew packing cubes for myself and my family. My in-laws are using theirs right now on their month-long trip to Africa! Thank you so much for creating this. It is very clear, helpful, and I especially love the extra tips like reinforcing the seams with bias tape.
How nice of you to sew these for family!
Came across this video because I've been wanting to create my own travel cubes to match the rest of my travel ensemble. Great tutorial! thank you!
Have fun!
Thank you for this video😀 I love my IKEA packing cubes but they fray so much! So now I'm getting myself some of that non-rip Nylon and make this into my next sewing project🙂
Thanks for watching!
This is such a helpful and informative video, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial - thank you! I made a couple of these a few years ago using interfaced cotton for the body but I really like your idea of using ripstock. I also used two zippers that meet in the middle in the front. I used a heavy gauge clear vinyl for the top without any mesh, and yes it was a bit tacky to feed through the machine. If I do another one a rolling foot or a non stick foot may help with that.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, Melly! What a great idea. I could use it for my girl when she goes on sleepovers.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic tutorial!! Thank you!

Thanks for watching!
Great video and economical tip.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the beautiful idea
Thanks for watching!
I wish you success
Thanks for this. I've been scouring TH-cam this evening for an appropriate bag to use for storing sewing project supplies. I don't have a dedicated sewing room and rarely get around to making up projects straight away, needless to say that by the time I do I've misplaced something. I'll be making up a couple of these to store the "ingredients" for a project; fabric, pattern, notions/embelishments etc. May make this a little deeper or larger or both and perhaps a vinyl external pocket listing contents/planner page. Many thanks for the tutorial.
Glad it’s helpful!
Very helpful, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
The zipper installation was EXACTLY what I needed to know for the purse I'm making. Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks a lot. Good job.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! that's great. Do you have a sewing project how to sew a traveling dress bag for suits and gowns for a wedding. Thanks for this tutorial
Nope, but the process would be similar to this, just on a bigger scale.
Thank you. I was away without wi fi. Would you be able to make a tutorial?
Thank you for the pattern & video tutorial! I was wondering why you use mesh plus vinyl instead of just vinyl?
I answered that in my post about this; click on through in the description to see my reasoning.
Lorem Ipsum mesh is see-trough so you are able to see what is in it
Thank you for this video. Do you think that outdoor fabric would also work for this project? It is water resistant and comes in many prints. Or another fabric I have is an oil cloth or laminated fabric would these work?
I can't say for sure because I haven't tried either type of fabric on this specific project.
Thank you very much for your tutorial! I have a question: Is the waterproof fabric you use like the one used in umbrellas?
It's similar.
grazie per questo tutorial che giunge proprio al momento giusto perché volevo farmi un porta-lavoro a valigetta ma non capivo come fare:ora grazie a te lo so👍👏👏👏👋👋
Since my mom have project going, I am going to make one, wondering if Can I use fleece brand from Joanns or Flannel brand?
I haven't sewn this in another fabric so I couldn't say for sure how it would work.
Thanku so much for this vedio🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for watching!

😊 Hello smelly!
Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Skills! This is my first time Watching You On TH-cam Videos.
I Love Your Idea & Your Video.
I would like to make this Packing.
I’m having proud to go to your website.
God Bless.
Stay Safe!
Thanks and welcome
have u tried to use gift wrap tissue paper under the rip stop material to help it feed through rather than changing the tension?
No, because then you have to deal with the paper, whereas adjusting the pressure fixes the issue as the sewing machine was designed to.
I need to print out the supply list is that available? I am not understanding how to get the Supply list? Newbie at sewing
Check the link to mellysews.com in the video description for the supply list.
Yes, I got that...am I able to print it out? Sorry, new at this...I do have to say, you are the ONLY person on the web who ever, ever, answered a question I posted. I am a NEW FAN of yours!!! Thanks for all you do, you give me Confidence~~
You can create your own printable if you plug the web address for that post into printfriendly.com
Thanks, these are so expensive to buy. Do you have any ideas about making the double-zipped compressible cubes?
Sew two of these and then quilt the bottoms together.
How did you determine how long to cut the side piece and Tab 2. .I’d like to make a smaller one.
The sides need to equal the circumference of the top at the seamline plus seam allowances.
Is there a way to make this into a double zipper compression cube?
I haven't tried that, if you do let us know how it goes!
Wow
The radius of the rounded corners makes a huge difference in hoe the sides fit!! 2" is about right.
👍🏼
I can’t find the link for the fabric and pattern.
It's in the video description.
Where can I get the vinyl?
Should be linked in the post linked in the video description
Do you know of any sources for rip stop?
I got mine at Joann.
A fabric store......
Ripstopbytheroll.com fast shipping too.
How do I get the link
All the links are in the video description when you click "Show More"
Now I can easily pack my clothes in my suitcase
Glad it's helpful!
I see the actual instructions of how to sew this packing Cube, however I don't see a pattern. Am I looking in the wrong place?
There is a list of dimensions in that post, not a pattern. This is all rectangles.
Melly Sews Thank you.
1/2 a yard in cms what is the equivalence?
There are lots of conversion calculators online.
@@Mellysews If I do not have nylon I will just use T-shirts
Instead of folding, you should roll your clothes.
Just a tip next time you go traveling.
I've tried it both ways, but I can get more in a cube folding usually.
Most good packing cubes have mesh so it can breathe, so I'd skip the vinyl.
I prefer the ones with vinyl and waterproof nylon like the one I made so I can use them as wet bags.
