Hi Lisa, I love your beautiful zipped pouch! Thank you so much for your tutorial - so clear and easy to follow. Sewing in zips has always seemed a bit scary to me but I might be brave and have a go after all. Thanks again and have a wonderful day. 🌺😊
Ive been making box pouches for a couple of weeks now with zips and i always get frustrated. Watched this video and followed along and it was a piece of pie! Ty so much!!
This is so lovely, will make a great makeup bag. I’m always hesitant about putting in zips but you’ve made it look easy enough for me to give it a go 😊
I've seen a lot of of similar tutorials and they tend to top stitch the outer fabric only, not the liner -- I always worried the liner could get caught in the zipper if it wasn't included in the top stitching, so I was happy to see you do topstitch through both layers. I think I'll do it that way next time, too! Great tutorial, thank you! :)
I have never had the lining get caught in the zipper if it is not included in the stitching next to the zipper. You have a better outcome with the ends if the lining is not included in that stitching line. Eliminates the bulk and the tabs have a smoother look. Pressing the top fabric and lining away from the zipper front and back is the answer to keep that lining from getting caught in the zipper when not stitched down with the top fabric. All the zipper bags that I have purchased do not have the lining sewn down. Check pre made bags in the stores and see how they are made. Lots of good ideas.
Great tutorial. So, it is ok to have a tiny hole at the end of the zipper tabs? When I try it, I always think it is a mistake, but I see you have it as well.
I've been sewing cosmetic bags for a year. I use a 7" zipper. I've been adding 5.8 inch wide satin ribbon 13" long (in half) to create wristslets. I deliberately cut my fabrics at 8.5 inch by 7" (box corners). Thus enables me to have that little extra at the end, So that the tab seats firmly in place.
I’ve just had to look at my machine because I had absolutely no idea what model it was. There’s a code that says ‘EF249047’. I’m not sure if that’s the model? I was given this as a present when I was a little girl and it was my very first sewing machine.

Great. Give it a go 😀
🎉Push towards the zipper tabs towards the lining!!! That’s the magic step I kept missing. 😊
The magic step ❤️

Yes that’s definitely ok. That allows the tab so sit neatly and look more professional

I would hand sew that little opening closed...
Makeup bag for holidays!
Top idea 😀
What model is your Singer hand crank behind you on the shelf? It is beautiful.

If i dont want to box it then is it okey to avoid the last step?
Yes definitely. It will work just as well
Am I the only who didn’t get it? It fell off the bottom of the screen!
Hi. Which bit are you referring to? No one else has mentioned anything? I’ll see if I can help
Actually you dont need to leave a hole in lining for turning, simply leave the zipper open and turn it that way
Hmmm, I can’t work out if that will work or not so I’ll give it a try
@@asewinglife yeah, don't know what I was thinking, disregard lol
