Yes, I agree , your directions are clear and the reason for the way you do things is clear.. I am so glad I found a person to explain zipper size no matter what size pouch!!!!
Thank you for your video. I'v been making pouches for the last three years, but I had to put together pieces from different videos to have a sort of complete instructions scheme. In your tutorials there is every single step you need to make a nice and neat work, very well explained in a correct time. I also love the style of the fabrics you use ! Elena , Italy
One missing important detail…how far in do you cut the four corners on the pouch? Very e CB paucity instructions except for that important detail. Thank you. Love your tutorials!❤️😊
Not top stitching the lining fabric is such a game changer 😭🥳🥳 I have watched so many tutorials and you’re the first one to do it that way and it’s gonna make auch a difference. thanks!!
Can I ask why it was a game changer? I’ve always top stitched my lining down and before I sew using this tutorial I’d like to know the benefit of not top stitching the liner? I always thought you were supposed to so it doesn’t get caught in the zipper.
Me too. I’ve always thought you’re supposed to too stitch the lining down. Especially for after the pouch is laundered and it’s more difficult to press it the same way you did during construction. 🤔
Ok. I'm not an experience seamster. So, I was trying to make a tool pouch with canvas. I found that if I made the zipper tab longer, like an inch beyond the zipper, the heavy fabric was easier to fold and sew. I still didn't see through the tab as you suggest. Seemed to work pretty well! Does my approach make sense?
I’m a bit lost on this part…so you should be stitching around the tabs? Toward the edge of the pouch? This is why the width of the pouch is not the same as the length of the zipper?
Romasterflex your seam allowance should be such that you stitch right next to where the tabs end. You can make the seam allowance a bit smaller right there so you don't stitch over the tab.
Ahhhh I think I get it now! I’m glad I came across these comments! I have a pouch all cut out and ready to go, and I am going to try this process again and hopefully not have all that bulk to deal with around my zipper tabs!
Tqsm for a very clear detailed explanation. Yes and l realised what l m doing wrong all the while. You made it easy. Definitely subscribing to yr channel
This is absolutely the best pouch tutorial with tabs that I have watched!! Thank you, now I see why my tabs go into a point...all others you stitch over them. You have made this pouch look so much better, and really easy to measure the zipper needed!!! Thank you again😍
🌸💐🌺 This was an amazing tutorial! I love how clear you are with every step. It’s so clear to understand and I thank you for this. You definitely are a great teacher! 💐🌺🌸
Wonderful video. Your instructions are very clear and thorough. I’ve watched other videos on line but your video has given me the confidence to give it a go. Thanks so much.
Thank you for the excellent explanation of zipper tabs! I love that you showed the whole construction of your pouch. It was so enjoyable! I have a few of your patterns and I love them! Your Devon pouch was my very first pouch I ever made and it was 100% successful - I sweated and worried it would not work but it was perfect! You gave me so much confidence to tackle even bigger and better projects. Blessings to you!
Beautiful. I've been struggling with getting the tops of my pouches neat. The fabric always ends up sucked in because I sew over an untabbed zip. I think I will use tabs from now on. Thank you
I use double sided sewing tape like wondertape to hold the zipper for sewing. Eliminates the need for pins or clips and keeps the zipper in place nicely. This tape will disappear when you wash it.
I had been searching for 2 days for a tutorial showing how to do tabs..I didn't know the measurements and this gave me what i wanted..Thanks you so very much.
Another excellent tutorial. I have tried adding zipper tabs but never seemed to work without loads of bulk! This looks so much better. Thank you x Lilian from England
Thanks for another great tutorial! This is something I always seem to have trouble with. I’ll certainly being using this tutorial for reference next time I’m sewing pouches 😊
I appreciate your videos. I thank you for pressing the seams open during construction. It amazes me the number of videos (especially in bag making) that never press the seams. And, they don’t seem to realize how much better their product would be with this additional step. But to the trained and experienced eye it is so obvious.
Thank you for the well illustrated and very clear instructions. The tips for installing zips and for making the lined, boxed corner pouches are extremely useful. I look forward to seeing more project demonstrations. 🙂
I cut 8.5 x 7. Regular 7" zipper. Cut off bottom stop n Above top stop. Add tabs. This gives greater fabric at edges so alittle gap at end of zipper when sides sewn. Wish i could include photo
I cannot believe that I am putting up with tacky, dirty, worn out makeup pouches, because you make it look so easy. I need to get a couple of these made up!
Good tutorial and very easy to follow. But I feel that the lining should be stitched along with the outer fabric lest it should get caught in the zipper while operating it.
Poxa ! 😢 Que pena! Você poderia colocar as medidas em centímetros (cm) também? Assim não posso acompanhar as aulas Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e não sei medir em polegadas ! Abraços 🤗 1:50
Thank you for several pointers which will improve my zippered bags. For me, the most useful was not having the tabs go all the way to the sides. So that's how things get nice and squared up! Also, I acknowledge the nudge to press between steps, something I have been skipping (out of convenience or, I admit, laziness).
Thanks for an excellent tutorial, I was battling to get my zipper ends correct and now I know how to sew them correctly.. Thank you,. Love watching you make your pouches. 😁
Hi Svetlana! Beginner sewist here and I am truly obsessed with your videos and patterns. I have purchased several on Etsy so far. My question is: I have strip of zipper tape from Zipper Valley and want to know if this is the process I would use to prepare a zipper for all pouch projects where I need a zipper? I am specifically asking regarding the box pouch.
You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for the great tutorial. Things don't come quite as easily as they once did, and I really appreciate your detailed explanations! I was able to complete a zippered pouch with a zipper that I could be proud of! Thank you so much! I will be purchasing your book!!
Nice instruction, thank you! I was just wondering how you calculate the zipper length needed, e.g. the width to redact from the total width of thr fabric. Has it to do with the seam allowance or the width of the tab or both?
I was doing it all wrong I was sewing over the zipper tap..no wonder I have a hard time flipping it inside out. Thank you for pointing out the tap part of the zipper in making a zipper poch.
Gracias por el tutorial no entiendo el idioma pero lo entendi perfectamente ,mi duda es que diferencia hay en coser el forro en la costura de asiento wn la cremallera o no coserla ,siempre pense que si no se cose se wnganchara con la cremallera ,muchas gracias
I’d like to make a pouch that does not have a seam on the bottom, do you have a way to do that? I can’t figure out how to sew the other side of the zipper without the fabric obstructing.
Yes, I agree , your directions are clear and the reason for the way you do things is clear.. I am so glad I found a person to explain zipper size no matter what size pouch!!!!
That was the best tutorial on zipper tabs. This is something I struggle with and I realize I wasn’t shortening my zipper enough. Thank you!!
Absolutely 'THE' best lined pouch tutorial ever, Immaculate finish. Thank you so very much 🥰❤

Is there a reason why you move the lining away before topstitching?
Ficou linda 👏👏👏

Best tutorial ever for zipper tabs and lined pouches!!! Just subscribed to your channel. So happy that I found you!!!

Yes...excellent tutorial. 👌

Me too. I’ve always thought you’re supposed to too stitch the lining down. Especially for after the pouch is laundered and it’s more difficult to press it the same way you did during construction. 🤔
I was thinking the same thing, but now I can see that everything lines up better when the lining isn't included in that topstitching!

Ok. I'm not an experience seamster. So, I was trying to make a tool pouch with canvas. I found that if I made the zipper tab longer, like an inch beyond the zipper, the heavy fabric was easier to fold and sew. I still didn't see through the tab as you suggest. Seemed to work pretty well! Does my approach make sense?
That is: "sew" through the tabs....
Wonderful tutorial! I see my mistake was stitching over the tabs rather than just close to them. I could never figure out what to do with that bulk!
I’m a bit lost on this part…so you should be stitching around the tabs? Toward the edge of the pouch? This is why the width of the pouch is not the same as the length of the zipper?
Romasterflex your seam allowance should be such that you stitch right next to where the tabs end. You can make the seam allowance a bit smaller right there so you don't stitch over the tab.
Same here I watched a few videos and finally I understood how close to the tabs I should go. I will try again. Thanks
Ahhhh I think I get it now! I’m glad I came across these comments! I have a pouch all cut out and ready to go, and I am going to try this process again and hopefully not have all that bulk to deal with around my zipper tabs!
thank you for including your seam allowance measurements & the tip at the beginning for zipper measurement for ANY size pouch! very clear directions.
You are so welcome!

Great idea 👏👏
Thank you for such a great tutorial. I already tried mine while watching you step by step and my bag turned out fabulous!! You are a blessing!
Wonderful!
So grateful to have these videos as a resource to accompany your book + patterns. We learn best with visual aids, so thank you for making them!
I had been searching for 2 days for a tutorial showing how to do tabs..I didn't know the measurements and this gave me what i wanted..Thanks you so very much.
You're very welcome!
I’ve watched so many pouch tutorials. I wish I’d seen yours first! It shows the details of every step beautifully. Thank you so much.
Another excellent tutorial. I have tried adding zipper tabs but never seemed to work without loads of bulk! This looks so much better. Thank you x Lilian from England
Thanks for another great tutorial! This is something I always seem to have trouble with. I’ll certainly being using this tutorial for reference next time I’m sewing pouches 😊
Turn the zipper 90° and do a zig zag at 0 width to sew the zipper stop. Easier than hitting the reverse button.
Your tutorials are amazing! I can follow them so easily as I watch. Thank you.
Happy to hear that!
Thank you for a great tutorial video. Is there a reason you don't topstitch your lining?
I appreciate your videos. I thank you for pressing the seams open during construction. It amazes me the number of videos (especially in bag making) that never press the seams. And, they don’t seem to realize how much better their product would be with this additional step. But to the trained and experienced eye it is so obvious.

exactly the information I needed!! Thank you so much!!
So glad!
Definitely best tutorial well explained in detail, I have ever seen! Thanks!!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for the well illustrated and very clear instructions. The tips for installing zips and for making the lined, boxed corner pouches are extremely useful. I look forward to seeing more project demonstrations. 🙂
I am so glad that I found this lady. She is amazing has such a gentle and friendly manner about her.She explains so beautifully. Thank you for this
Is there a reason why you didn’t top stitch the lining as well? I’ve made boxy pouches in the past and I’ve always top stitched both layers.
Did you watch the video carefully and LISTEN?
It's part of the trick to getting a nice bag in the end...
I cut 8.5 x 7.
Regular 7" zipper.
Cut off bottom stop n Above top stop. Add tabs.
This gives greater fabric at edges so alittle gap at end of zipper when sides sewn. Wish i could include photo
I cannot believe that I am putting up with tacky, dirty, worn out makeup pouches, because you make it look so easy. I need to get a couple of these made up!
Any particular reason you don’t topstitch through the lining?
Did you watch the video?
: )
Thank you for the great tutorial! Question, why can't you measure from the beginning of the zipper?
I want to avoid all metal parts of the zipper
My favourite technique for zippers. They look so much better with the tabs! Thank you!☺️
Glad you like them!
Very beautiful....😘😍😍😍
Good tutorial and very easy to follow. But I feel that the lining should be stitched along with the outer fabric lest it should get caught in the zipper while operating it.
You are the best teacher I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤️❤️❤️
Poxa ! 😢 Que pena!
Você poderia colocar as medidas em centímetros (cm) também?
Assim não posso acompanhar as aulas
Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e não sei medir em polegadas !

Hi Svetlana! Beginner sewist here and I am truly obsessed with your videos and patterns. I have purchased several on Etsy so far. My question is: I have strip of zipper tape from Zipper Valley and want to know if this is the process I would use to prepare a zipper for all pouch projects where I need a zipper? I am specifically asking regarding the box pouch.
Thanks for the great video tutorial. Just curious at 9.31 of the video, you emphasized not to top switch with the lining, is there a reason for it?
This way you end up with nice straight edges and corners around the zipper.
Yes, the tabs at the ends of the zipper definitely make for a more polished, well-finished look! Thanks for the careful, precise demonstration!!
You bet!
I LOVE the straight edges so many tutorials have shapes like trapezoids at the top
You have no idea how much you just saved me! 🤗 Thank you!
If I wanted to stitch down the lining fabric, would that mess up the fabric tab?
It would mess up the top corners of your pouch
You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for the great tutorial. Things don't come quite as easily as they once did, and I really appreciate your detailed explanations! I was able to complete a zippered pouch with a zipper that I could be proud of! Thank you so much! I will be purchasing your book!!

Hello Svetlana, love your patterns and tutorials! please, what kind of sewing machine do you use?
Nice instruction, thank you! I was just wondering how you calculate the zipper length needed, e.g. the width to redact from the total width of thr fabric. Has it to do with the seam allowance or the width of the tab or both?
Excellent tutorial, thank you and guess what I will be making today 😃
Thank you for this tutorial is has really helped with creating a pouch with zipper and tabs, something I have been struggling with
I LOVE your bags! I also like those scissors! Can you list where u get your products/tools?
If it is a 1/2” seam allowance, how much shorter would you cut the zipper to allow for the tabs? Thank u!
Thank you this is the first one that has explained the zipper tabs and measurements and why
I was doing it all wrong I was sewing over the zipper tap..no wonder I have a hard time flipping it inside out. Thank you for pointing out the tap part of the zipper in making a zipper poch.
Excellent video. I too needed clarification on how close to sew to the tabs. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
Glad it was helpful!
Gracias por el tutorial no entiendo el idioma pero lo entendi perfectamente ,mi duda es que diferencia hay en coser el forro en la costura de asiento wn la cremallera o no coserla ,siempre pense que si no se cose se wnganchara con la cremallera ,muchas gracias
That formula doesn't work for wide sewing feet. It needs to be 1.5 shorter. I find that 1" doesn't work for me.
Very nice tutorial! I especially like the closeups. Beautiful pouch.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this. The zipper tabs were confusing to me before watching your video. :)
8:30 Your tip to move the zipper pull out of the way while keeping the needle lowered was very helpful to a beginner like me - thank you. 👍
I absolutely loved this video. Very informative and easy to follow. ❤️❤️❤️ Now I need to make a pretty zipper pouch.
Please do!
I’d like to make a pouch that does not have a seam on the bottom, do you have a way to do that? I can’t figure out how to sew the other side of the zipper without the fabric obstructing.
Thanks for sharing ❤beautifully explained
I like your videos they are very helpful I have trouble with faux leather pouchs could you please help me
Keşke ölçüleri de yazmış olsaydınız
instant sub, I can already tell how talented u are, thank u for being on youtube!!
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you for a great tutorial. Best ever explanation of how to sew zipper tabs.
Thank you!! My zips always seem to be uneven and this video has helped me to understand what I may have been doing wrong.
Glad it helped!
