I have watched MANY tutorials but I have to say that you are the EASIEST to follow and the way you explain everything just makes it all make sense! Thank you!!
There was no need for me to repeat this comment 😊 Totally agree! I made a wristlet last night and now I’m going to modify it ☺️ wish I saw this video first 😅
You're a great teacher. I've watched many videos on making a zippered pouch but I like your way the best - the zipper tabs, not top stitching to the end, making the lining a bit smaller...all helped make this pouch better than others I've made.
Love your tutorials! You speak at a good pace, not wasting time but getting it all said. I've been sewing for 60 years and I learn something almost every time I watch you!!!
I really love this one! I watch a lot of bag/pouch/purse videos and I think you are the only one who sews the lining a bit smaller. I'm surprised that none do that!
Your approach and ease to follow made this a joy to watch. You don't talk to us like we're idiots, repeating things multiple times and i appreciate this. Fairly new male sewist and love that tip about the larger seam allowance on the liner side to make for a much more professional look. I don't have a bunch of fabric scraps but I see i can get them on eBay. I have a granddaughter and a niece I would love to make these for they have birthdays coming up and I just got a new janome and will use these great ideas/tips. Liked and subbed. 👍
Great video Vanessa…..thanks so much. I’ve made tons of zipper pouches but learned a great tip….5/8” vs 1/4” seams makes for a lovely, snug lining. Love your videos btw❤️
It is those simple tips and tricks that allow us to achieve a professional finish. For instance the bigger seam allowance on the lining gives a snug fit when inserted into the exterior. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
I proudly sewed my first lined zipper pouch following your tutorial 12 years ago!!!!! ❤ I have literally sewn hundreds of them since, and I still hear your patient voice in my head saying “pretty sides touching.” I will definitely make this version of your zipper pouch and proudly share it on social media! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and amazing videos that beginners and experienced sewers alike can learn from and enjoy!
Love this tutorial! Excellent job! The only thing I would do differently is when attaching the lining pieces, I would turn the stack over and sew just inside the previous basting stitch, instead of blindly sewing from the lining/stabilizer side. I have never seen this technique for making a scrappy pouch. I will be making this. Thank you!
Have been following you for decades… am so proud to have seen your growth over the years. Your tutorial shows your confidence and thoroughness (clarity and attention to detail)…still demonstrating your nifty personality and charm! Kudos!! ❤
I can’t wait to try this. It will be my first project relating to quilting in any capacity. You shared a great tip regarding the lining seam allowance. Also, without question, you are an AWESOME teacher. Thanks for taking the time.
You have done it again, Vanessa!!! Another great easy to follow tutorial. I have bags of scraps just waiting to be used up. These will make terrific gifts.
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. The bags you made are absolutely beautiful and your clear instructions and explanations make me feel that I could make one without too much frustration. 😊
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I appreciate it when you explain the "why" of how you do things. Example....5/8" seam allowance for the liner. I'm new to sewing (only 8 months) and like to make bags. Will be watching many more of your videos.
there are just not enough thumbs up to give. absolutely amazing tutorial🥰: clarity of instructions; clarity of visual, attention to detail(!!!!). I just finished my pouch and while it did take me way longer to complete, it came out perfect.🥳🎉 I was really nervous because sewing around those zipper tabs-- there is a lot of bulk and the varying seam allowance for lining and exterior fabric-- well I was admittly doubtful on what it was going to look like once I turned everything right side out. All I can say is---> trust the process because the outcome was absolutely beautiful. I cannot thank you enough for all your time and effort and for always giving quality tutorials. ☺️🌻
Your step by step instructions are fantastic! I have been sewing for almost 40 years now and I am thrilled every time I learned something new. Your explanations on your construction methods are so easy to understand! Thank you so much for your tutorial!!
You have a lot of specific suggestions to make the pouches a lot snazzier than those I've been making. For example, I will have to start using the 3/8" seam to have more to press open and also do the top stitching. Also the different seams for the lining and the exterior is something I hadn't thought of. Thank you, Vanessa!
I just found your channel and you have the best step by step instructions I've ever seen! I'm fixing to make the zipper pouch and I love the way the lining sits inside. Genius!
I love this video!! I really love that u say what stitch length to use. As a VERY beginner sewist(?) I appreciate all the extra little information that no one else bothers to tell me. Thank you so much!!
Now, that is a nice bag and great tutorial. No gap lining! Yay! Thanks very much. I have made several of these bags now, for myself and as gifts. People absolutely LOVE them!
trying to perfect my zipper pouch making and im glad i clicked this one. I was struggling with a baggy lining but now i know for the next one (: thank you for a thorough tutorial
I'm having a duh moment. Sewing the top stitch the same length as the zipper length is a game changer! I've made so many with the top stitch to the raw edge and never liked how the sides turned out. Great tip!
I remember the first video tutorial, watched you making a pillow cover with your adorable child in your lap. My pillow came out pretty good. Now the zip pouches, looking forward to making these scrappy ones. Thank you.
Oh my goodness Vanessa that is genius. It makes so much sense. I always learn from you. I’ve been watching you for years and I’ve learned so much. Wow.
You do a good job explaining what you are doing. You go at a pace a person can understand.i have watched a lot of videos and yours is easy to follow. Am going to attempt to make one just to see if I can do it like you do
I love your videos! The step by step instructions along with the video are so helpful. You make everything so easy!!!Thank you for sharing your sewing skills!!!
Thank you so much for a very detailed video. The tip on sewing the lining with a slightly bigger seam allowance truly was the best thing I learned- no more baggy linings!! Thank you !!
Great tutorial. Loved the descriptions, and detail you went into for everything. For beginner sewers, you make it very simple to follow. I've been sewing all my life, but still like to watch others because you always learn something, no matter how small. Enjoyed watching you immensely. Thank you.
Awesome video. I've made so many zipper pouches and learned a great tip from you about the 5/8" vs 1/4" which is such a great tip. Thank you so much! I really love your videos.
I have been looking for a pouch pattern to make pouches for our local Womens Centre and this is the perfect one! Your instructions and video presentation is just the best. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video and sharing all of your tips and explanations. Now I will make pouches and donate to ladies and their children. Can’t wait to start ❤
Thank you for such great detailed instructions on putting in the zipper. I have been making some crossbody purses, and I have had problems when it comes to the zipper. Now I know what to do.
Another terrific video, Vanessa! You always make everything look so easy!! I love thank You the fabric you used too! A very clean modern look! Thank You very much!💐👏👏👏👏👏
THANK YOU so much for this video! I love the way you explain things and that you take the sec to show and even do it twice. I’m new but now I’m excited to make some of these!! ❤🎉
Thank you for making this bag so simple! Always have problems with zippers. You made it so simple! I will do this type of zipper in bags from now on! Thank you again!
I love this and you are awesome in explaining everything. I've been sewing most of my life but just got more serious about it. I'm so happy I found your vids and I could see myself chillin with you and sewing lol. Have a bless day and thank you again.
So cute …I was sad 🙃 when you had to cut the mermaid from the bottom right corner ..I will remember when joining the squares Thank you very much great job
Thank you so much Vanessa, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this gorgeous and stunning pouch. Thank you too for the extra tips, always so helpful too. Your a brilliant teacher, and I’m going to make some of these too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤
Great tutorial, as usual! I always think about making the lining smaller than the bag but never remember. This is fresh on my mind and I have plenty of scraps so it could happen. Do I need another zippy pouch - no. Can you ever have too many zippy pouches - also no!
@@raisingmax2458 Hi I made 5 in total, 4 I made with straight seams , no cut out at bottom and these are big enough for personal items, remember you can use your own measurements and make the bags as big as you want, happy sewing!
Thank you for the clear and concise instructions! I have plenty of scraps and may make a few of these for the ladies in our family for Christmas this year.
Only just found your channel but im so so so glad i have! Thank you for all your work because ive learnt loads JUST IN THIS ONE VIDEO! i watch so many tutorials and never feel ready to go make...yours are very different. Im good to go! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
