Thank you kindly! ❤️ I’m working on another one, probably a couple of weeks from now, on this subject. I have seen a few people struggling with their “dented corners” and hope to offer more ideas. Stay tuned, more to come!
Hello! This zipper is not folded at a right angle, although some methods do have you fold the zipper at a right angle to make sure it stays out of the SA. I think I might have even done that with one of the pouches I did a video of here too. In this video, I sewed the zipper tape on RST with the fabric from end to end, 3:48 and 5:16. I stayed out of the SA when stitching up the sides and topstitching, 9:05 and 11:04. Also, I made sure that in the end the zipper teeth were facing the outer fabrics 12:03. I have seen others insist on facing their zipper teeth towards the lining fabrics, but I have always had more success with the zipper teeth facing towards the other fabrics so that when I turn the pouch the zipper teeth are already facing up and out properly. I hope that helps and Happy Sewing!
@@lanyoshandmade thanks, I have noticed also that other tutorials tell you to have the zipper face towards the lining. I guess to clarify, and where I’m having trouble is near the end. The part where you face your zipper towards the fabric. Does it need to lie flat or is the zipper folded over in order to sew it together? I’m not sure if this makes sense or not.
Hi again! That's ok! I like "bag chat"! I have followed the method to have the zipper face the lining. It isn't wrong, it's just wrong for me. Over many years of sewing I have noticed some things gain popularity, lose and then gain again. I think it is all based on the teacher conveying the idea, the sewist's ability to follow it, then it can come down to machines and materials too as to whether one method is better than another. It's all an individual choice of what works for you. A lot of sewists have problems with the zipper being swallowed up at the ends. My first did too. In this video I was using small lightweight plastic teeth zippers for small pouches and they were first sewn flat from edge to edge of the fabric so they were able to bend on their own after in the SA. After that I did not topstitch into the end seam allowances and made sure that the teeth were not sewn into the seam allowance, just the flimsy zipper tape at the end. If you use zipper tabs, they can't be sewn into the seam allowance neither. That takes care of it so it isn't eaten up at the ends. I do have another video, where the zipper tape was bent at the end 90 degrees down so that it was not sewn into the SA at all. Perhaps that method would be more to your liking, especially if you have heavier zippers? th-cam.com/video/2mVCrYMHanM/w-d-xo.html Have you joined the Lányos Handmade Pattern Party Facebook group?

Hi, loved this, can you help me, I bought some 7 inch zips, but they measure 7&3/8ths from tape to tape, so what size shud my fabric be, thank you I am quite new to sewing x
Hello! and thank you for watching! So it doesn't matter how long from end to end the fabric tape is. Different companies have different lengths. A good zipper maker would say 7 inches on the packaging though and have a 7 inch long row of zipper teeth including the pull and the stop parts because that is the important measurement. So if you have 7 inches of zipper teeth, just measure and include the pull and the stop to check, then for this project you would have 8 inches of fabric to centre your 7 inch zipper on. This would leave a 1/2 inch seam allowance on both sides. That's what I use in this video, a 1/2 inch seam allowance. If for some reason your zipper teeth, including your zipper pull and your zipper stop measure, let's say, 9 inches then you add 1/2 inch seam allowance on each side to make the fabric 10 inches across - I just wanted to give another example! Good luck, have fun and remember whether you're a beginner or an expert, pulling out stitches is bound to happen! :)

Very nice!

Thank you for this video. This helped me tremendously

@@lanyoshandmade Will be eagerly awaiting. Good Luck with the new video.
@@MsAmericanMaid thank you!
This is really neat, all the different bags and the different sizes.
There is a lot you can make when you have the basics down!
How do you position the zipper to face the outside of the bag? Do you fold the zipper?

Lol, I want the white one, lol
😂😂😂 the white one has the slightest outlines of sea otters with big smiles! It’s quite a hit!! I’ve even done masks in the white otter fabric! 🤍

@@lanyoshandmade thank you very much, that it so hey 👍
Sorry I ment to say helpful,lol
👩🏼🦳👍🏼
Thanks! What is the width of your double sided tape?
I always buy the narrowest 1/4” (6.4 mm). It’s been good enough for all my projects! Thanks 😊
