Supplies list:
* 2 pieces of fabric (or scraps sewn together) measuring 8" x 10" for outer bag - to be cut down to 7' x 9" after quilting
* 2 pieces of fabric (or scraps sewn together) measuring 7" x 9" for bag lining
* One piece of coordinating fabric 2" x 3"
* One nylon/polyester zipper, at least 3" longer than the width of the bag.
I first saw this bag over at CharmedByAshley here on RUclips.

You showed me how to insert a zipper.....a much needed skill.
Hi Marie! Welcome, it's great to have you drop by, thank you!
I'm so glad I could pass along some knowledge to you.
I do what I can, lol!!!
Tomorrow, I'll be uploading a new tutorial.. Hope to see you then!
Marie , you are a genius
lol. I don't know about "genius", but thank you! These are one of my favorite things to make and gift. People seem to love to receive them!
Im definitely leary of Zippers myself. But im ready to give it a go! Thank you so much 😊
These aren’t a difficult zipper to place, although if you’ve never done zippers, I do have a few zippered projects that are easier to start with. I only wish I had not been so afraid of zippers for so long because I could’ve made so many more projects. I always thought zippers were difficult to put in because when I was growing up, I would always see my mother putting them into dresses, shirts, pants, etc. I wouldn’t want to put them in those items, either!
Your pouch is so cute. Thank you!
Thanks, Mary! I appreciate you stopping by and the comment!
U do an amazing job
Thank you so much, Starr! I'm glad you stopped by to watch and comment. I appreciate that!!!
Oh Marie…I love this bag!! I’m a ‘bag’ lady!! That’s for sure..but I’ve been one that is always afraid of a zipper. I might just have to try this one out for myself. Of course..I have a LONG ‘todo’ list…..but this is awesome! And yes..this is a great set!!!
I'm so glad you love it - I do, too! I can just about make these in my sleep,, ha ha. I used to dread the thought of a zipper, but really... it doesn't get much easier than this. I think you should give it a try and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
We all have those lllooonnnngggg to-do lists. Yikes, sometimes I set mine aside and just have an "off" day where i do something because I want to try something that I've been thinking about, or something like that.
Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it!
I love this bag. I don't sew but I might start again😊
Thanks, Linda! It's definitely one of my most favorite things to sew. I love to give them as gifts. I've made them for little kids in children's fabrics and for adults. They're fun and easy. Maybe after a few more videos, we'll have you sewing! Remember Home Ec in high school? Just think of me as your home-ec teacher, lol lol!
Thanks for watching and for the comment!!
My next project!
Awesome MiKi! Have you joined my Facebook page? If so, I’d love to see your bag! Thanks for stopping by!
That is so cute!!❤love it!
Thank you! This and tote bags are my top favorite things to make. I have made so many of these open wide zippered pouches that I think I could do it in my sleep, ha ha!
I like both of your bags going to make some for Christmas would make awsome presents thank you.
Aww, I'm glad you liked the video! Have fun sewing and I think they'll make perfect gifts!
Making this today. Love your tutorials to
aw, that's sweet! I'm glad you liked this!
That came out amazing. I’m going to try sewing inside to outside corners you made it look so easy
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
It's really not too hard to sew the lining to the outer. It can be a bit fiddly and the first time I did it, I thought I had it tangled, but it wasn't. All was fine and I like them finished that way.
I appreciate you watching and your comment. :-)
I love it! Going to make one for sure!
Please do! I hope you have fun sewing one up, but be careful... They're addictive! This bag is the #1 thing I make. If I had a dollar for every one I've ever made, I'd be a rich woman, lol!
Marie that's so awesome and super cute I made same pouch with scrappy strips but I made mine with a curve It's call it the persimmon dumpling pouch is was inspired by Sew Sweetness, it was fun making it with her I will post it on the FB group 🤗😍🤩😁
I’m so glad you liked it, Ada! You’re so sweet and seem to like scraps like me and so many others! As far as posting on the group, i would love to see the bag you made, but I try to keep links /names of other channels and Facebook groups to a bare minimum . I don’t mind if someone posts a picture of something they need and if someone asks where they got it, they just keep it simple with a name, without a link. The reason being is that a lot of times people post things that I haven’t yet made a tutorial for, but plan to in the future, so if a bunch of subscribers go grab that tutorial link, I don’t do the video because it’s not “new and fresh” to the group, or else it’s just the simple fact of me trying to build my RUclips channel across my Facebook group, if that makes sense. I don’t mind building up other RUclipsrs, in fact I expressly drop their links during videos and in my description box all the time, but on my Facebook group I try to keep it to a minimum because I’m working really hard towards that. I just read back over this and I hope you know that this isn’t in any way a reprimand lol, it’s just my thoughts on links. Anyway, I appreciate you, all your comments and enthusiasm 🥰. I’m working on housework and will check the picture out in a bit.
@@MariesScrappyCreations Got it! I understand🥰😍I do not post links I did mention her group channel if that is OK
@@encarnacionada2 Sounds perfect, thank you for understanding! If anyone asks for a link, just tell them the name of the website and i just ask people to keep it simple. Have a wonderful afternoon!
Thank you
Glad you found it helpful. You’re welcome! Thanks SO much for watching!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I learned two new tips from you and I have been sewing, making quilts, bags...for years! Just like I tell my grandkids, if you are paying attention you will learn something new(big or small) every day, all of your life 😁
Hi Shari! I agree and tell my grandchildren the exact same thing! I'm glad I was able to show you a few new things - I love to learn and I love when I'm able to pass along things, too Thanks for such a sweet comment!
I really like this method of making an open wide pouch. So much easier than fitting inner sides to a box bag. I’m going to make one for my sewing machine feet so I can see them easily and get at them without fighting with the bag 😂x
Yes, it's my favorite way of making a bag. I joke that I have made so many of these that I could make them in my sleep. They're my "go-to" bag. Everyone I have gifted them to seems to love them. I'm so happy that you like and enjoy this, too! And you're right, it's perfect for sewing feet. It can be made in any size you wish. Have a great day and happy sewing!
Really like this bag and hope to attempt making one soon. Thank you for sharing
Hi Tilly! You're very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I make sooo many of these. They're definitely a favorite around here and I bet they will be for you too, when you get one done. I'd love to see it on the Facebook group when you make it! I had another viewer share her version on the group and it's always fun to see what people come up with and change to make it their own. Thank you for visiting!
This zipper technique is so different than what I’ve been doing. I’ll have to try this out! Thank you for such clear tutorials!
I remember when I first saw it done this way and thought what a wonderful way to put in a zipper. I'm glad I was able to pass it along and that you enjoyed it!
Just wanted to thank you for all your videos. You inspired me to try sewing again after a few unsuccessful attempts in the past and I'm enjoying it for the first time. It really helps that all the projects are small and can use scraps of fabrics.
That’s wonderful!, Your comment made me smile when I read it. I’m so happy that I could help inspire you and get you back into something that you love doing. That’s what this channel is all about, helping people and showing them that they can do a lot of things with small pieces of fabric and a little bit of time. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting. I appreciate that you took the time to do so. Happy sewing!
So cute!
Thanks Portia! This is my favorite bag and I make it often!
@@MariesScrappyCreations which way is easier to put in a zipper? This way with the zipper open or like you did on the little coin purse video? Still trying to tackle that task putting a zipper in a project...so nervous!💕
@@portialanden6353 hi Portia! Well, that's tough because it'll depend on the person. But... I'd say probably to start with the little coin purse. Those are definitely an easy zip. You CAN do this!!! Play the video, catch up with what I'm doing, pause the video, repeat and then you will be able to put in a zipper. I will say that this open wide zip bag got me used to placing zippers, but for starters, I'd say the coin purses.
@@MariesScrappyCreations I'll keep working at it. Thanks!
That's right, sweet lady. You CAN do it! I KNOW you can!
I often make zippered bags. I have not seen your method of inserting the zipper. I'm going to try it.
I hope you give it a try! I made a lot of zippered bags before using this method, but now that I do it this way, I really like it and use it most of the time.
I don't know how many of these tutorials I have watched - I think this is the best one! You are a great teacher and I will be using this method, now that I have gotten over my "zipper terror"! Thank you and cheers from Australia
I had watched my share of the videos and tutorials about these, too. I could never find one that I liked 100%. But this is the method that I love. I'm so glad that it helped you out, as well! Thank you so much for your compliment. I'm glad you liked my videos and my teaching style. I'm waving to you, way over there "downunder"! Lol 😆
@@MariesScrappyCreations well, made my first pouch this way today and while it's not perfect, it turned out great. Will be making many more for family members. Thank you!
@@queenslanddiva i'm SO glad you liked it! Now you see why I'm obsessed with this bag right? It's perfect for so many uses and for so many different lifestyles, etc. Perfect gift and there are so many different ways to modify it. I've only made one modification video, but I'm going to do more soon!
I am going to start making your bags soon. I am almost done hand quilting the blanket for my granddaughter and plan on making some bags and Christmas items soon. I love your tip for tacking the lining down in the bags. The more of your videos I watch, the more I believe I can make the bags
Wow, it sounds like you keep yourself busy, which is really good. I can't remember if you're on the Facebook group or not, but if you are, I would love to see your granddaughter's quilt. Yes, I am glad you liked the part about tacking the lining down. That was a game changer for me because I make a lot of bags and that was the one thing that always bugged me! Of course you can make a bag, I totally believe in you. I remember finishing my first one, I was so proud of myself. You CAN do this!!!!!
I might even try my first zipper after watching this. Your videos are so clear and easy to follow.
HI there! Oh, I hope you try! I was so scared on my first few and I can't say that my first zippers were "perfect", but they worked and that's what mattered. I just kept at it and now I love to put zippers in. I'm so happy I got over my fear and now it makes me smile to think that I helped you so that you would like to try one. Thank you for your kind words, your watching and commenting!
Nice tutorial. I like how you explained the zipper part. I have to try it. TFS.
Margarita, I'm so glad you liked it, it's my absolute favorite bag. In fact, I just sent one out the other day that I made and I made one today for something to do. I'm so glad you liked it and I'd love to see it when you give it a try.
What a cute bag! Show it who’s boss! I am, ( I think!) lol
Of course you're The Boss (because I said so, lol!)
I Love this bag.
Thank you, it's my most favorite bag to make of all time. Thank you for letting me know!
Thanks for the tutorial Marie....I've spent all of today making my first pouch and definitely putting my first zip in. I somehow got the fabrics back to front and in the wrong order so had to unpick, but after some thought worked out what I had to do to fix it. I've learnt so much by just having a go today, so thank you for giving me the confidence to attempt my first zip...
Oh wow Julie, I am so proud of you! I remember how proud I was of my 1st zipper And I'm so happy that you have completed yours. The 1st one's never usually go off exactly as planned, but I'm glad you got it under your belt and done. Yea!
Hi Marie…I love the bag! I’m wondering…how wide are your strips? I’m sure you make a lot of bags so that I wonder what you do with them all!?! Do you have a place to sell them? I’ve watched quite a few of you videos. The things you make are beautiful! All the bright colors! I’m seventy- five. While growing up, everything had to match… it was white shoes for Easter an on and then towards Fall shoes Had to be black or brown. Purses too. That’s so ingrained in me that the idea of carrying a bag that doesn’t match what I’m wearing is such a no-no. It’s almost repellent! But I so love the bags and realized yesterday how much I’m limiting myself. I’ll have to give that some more thought! Thank you for sharing your gift for sewing such lovely things. Louise
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I really enjoyed reading it and it brought back a lot of memories. I was born in 1964 and I can remember that my mom made most of the clothes for us for girls. Every Easter we would get brand new homemade dresses, and then she would buy us the hats, gloves, and purses (all matching, as I’m sure you know). I can also remember all those rules about the colors, and when you could use a brown purse or a blue purse, and when you should use most anything to accessorize.
I am lucky enough to still have my mom, she turned 90 this past June, and I just made her a beautiful scrappy tote bag out of all brightly colored fabrics that she just adores. She actually mentioned after I gave it to her about how everything used to be as far as rules went, just like you and I are discussing. It’s very hard to make ourselves break our ingrained habits, isn’t it? Thank you so much for watching my videos and taking the time to comment. Have a great weekend!
Oops, edited to add… I just used a variety of widths on the strips… whatever I had on hand to reach a width that looked “just right”. Sorry I’m not more help than that! Also, last year, I had a live sale where I sold all the stuff that I had made that I hadn’t given away. I might do something similar this year, although I don’t have very much made ahead. A lot of what I made this year was already gifted out. I do sometimes take custom orders for totes and other bags.
couldn't you top stitch before you cut the zipper down so it opened up wilder
Hi Linda! I'm not sure I understand what you mean, unfortunately. At the point where I cut the zipper, I can choose any length. It'll only open up to the edge of the bag, no matter what length I leave on the zipper. I'm sure I am missing what you mean, though. ;-)
Your pin cushion, did you make it? Tutorial please.....love that bag, did cut my strips today!!
Hi! Yes, I made it. 😀. I got tired of looking for the one that would be perfect for me, so I made one! Here is a link to my tutorial so you can make your own. I’m glad you’re giving the bag a try, that’s awesome! I have a 5-part scrappy tote bag series, too. Anyway, here is the link for the wrist pincushion Scrap Wrist Pincushion (oh and now I’ve been using a piece of plastic instead of cardboard inside it as shown in the video. I buy the plastic from the dollar store - it’s packaged as a chopping mat, with 2 per pkg)

@@MariesScrappyCreations thanks you for that. Will definitely look at the scrappy Tote bags, so nice to make something out of almost nothing.
@annelizelombard7510 it IS fun to make things out of almost nothing, isn't it? Many times, I challenge myself to do exactly that. You worded that perfectly!
If you make a bigger bag, how do you know the size to cut the corners to box them? Is there a formula for different sized box corners?
Hello, and thank you for your question. I don't have a formula, although there may be one out there. I just adjust it depending on the size of my bag, to what I think I want it to be for width. I will say that i do any adjustments in 1/4" increments. You could try it on 2 pieces of scrap fabric sewn together, then cut out a square to see if it gives you the size of corner you want.
Can you attach the lining to the bag if you don’t do boxed corners?
Yes, I did it in another bag. Here is a link, in case you'd like to see it done without boxed corners.

where in maine are you from? i am too
Hi!! I'm from Augusta, but I live in Aroostook county 🥰 Where are you?
i live in Livermore, right in the middle of farmington, rumford, auburn, augusta :) have camp in eustus. my guy goes snowmobiling up in the county every yr. been watching you videos all afternoon.@@MariesScrappyCreations
I kept hearing mouth noises. Did you have a mint or something in your mouth?
Hmm, I can’t imagine what it would be. I don’t eat mints/candy (or chew gum), but I definitely wouldn’t film with anything in my mouth. So, I can’t imagine what the sound would be, unless it was some issue with my microphone. The video is from when I first started my channel and I don’t remember much about it. Sorry about that 😉
