If you double up the height of the initial size then when you cut the diagonal you have 2 pouches at a time. I don't know if I explained myself well. Great project.
My mother is heading into Assisted Living, likely after Christmas. She requested (10min before I started watching this video!!!) a pouch big enough for her iPad. I need to figure out how to add handles but that’s not too hard once the first one is made. Thanks for the tutorial. I like that you don’t give cutting measurements out of respect to the designer :)
I’d recommend the large or xl for the iPad! Adding handle should be easy - I’d just do it coming out of the side! Make the handle, and when you turn the bag inside out to add binding, before you add the binding, I’d just attach a little strap by tucking it in between the two exterior pieces in the top-ish area!
I am so happy that your instructions always show challenges and how to overcome them. Such as putting zipper pull on. Helps me realize I am not alone. Excellent job ❤ Thank you.
Cute pouch. You can also stitch over the zipper ends to prevent accidentally pulling off the zipper head while turning inside out. Also, running a stitch all around before attaching the binding will squish down the foam and binding will go on without the bulk. Great tutorial! Off to get the pattern
Just found this tutorial. I have had this pattern for a while, but wasn't sure if I could do it. After watching the video, I feel a lot more confident. I am also a visual learner. Thanks.
The 'discard' portion could defintely be 1/2 a coin purse, at least. :) Or made into a short cup/tall bowl for change, paperclips, binding clips, and more! Lots of options alone or by combining it with the discards from the other bags to make another unique gift!
Becca, thank you for this video - I bought this pattern last month and you have walked me through the creating in a smart, friendly way. I recently discovered my little silver seam guide - the bar that fits into my Juki’s walking foot to guide me along so I don’t have to mark allllll those lines anymore, I just place it at the width I want from the last line I made. It fits in both sides of the walking foot so you can work from either side. I also plan to make these two-at-a-time and quilt a much taller piece so it creates an angled segment on each side of the cut, no waste. You are very LISTEN-ABLE - and I will be exploring your other videos. Happy Crafting! 🤗🧵💕
Hey, thanks a bunch for your awesome feedback! It's fantastic to hear that you're enjoying the content and discovering new tools and techniques. Can't wait to see what you create next!
I discovered this by accident: When I put on my zipper, I use 1/4 double back sticky tape. I covered all the zipper binding with the tape. So my overhang of zipper tape is sticky and when putting on the zipper pull, the sticky helps to make that grab to zip the zipper. Works for me!😊
I just picked up this pattern, I like your idea of crediting the creator of this pattern for their hard work and creative skill. This looks so fun!!! Making one from an art print rectangle of linen that deserves to be highlighted and used every day. It's a gorgeous deep turquoise and indigo.
You are AMAZING!! I love how you are so reality-based. Are your inside edges not perfect? Don't worry about it. The seam isn't amazingly straight by the zipper? It's fine. The corners aren't super crisp? Go with it. I am not a quilter but I feel like I can do this pattern with your help. THANK YOU! I appreciate the camera work. What I appreciate most of all is that you shared the whole process for getting the head back on the zipper, all of it, letting us know that if it takes an experienced person a minute to get it back together it is perfectly reasonable to take more than a minute to get the thing back together. Really, thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've watched 2 of your videos, this 1 and the seatbelt harness video, but I already love your style. You're well spoken, explain things clearly and somewhat concisely and you're not cutesy. I'm an alto, speaking & singing, so I appreciate a nice medium pitched voice. Some RUclipsr's voices drive me up the wall with a high pitch and a nasally twang. Your speaking pace is perfect. Not too slow or too fast. I appreciate how you pick up the video pace on the parts that would be boring if we had to watch the whole step. So, that's why I like you. I really like your channel because of your creativity! I'll be back and I'll look into becoming a member. There are very few RUclipsrs I would want to support, but you just became 1 of them. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and know-how. I look forward to making . . . Oh . . . about 1 million Hemingway pouches. Now, I just need to find my machine so I can unpack it and get it set up to use.
❤❤❤❤❤THANKS!!! THIS POUCH will be my 2024 Christmas present for almost everyone on my list. Plus me!! Hopefully a matching tablet size plus small size for sunglasses. If I start now… 😉 GREAT visual directions. Love the close ups. Ordering my pattern today. Thank you so much for sharing this project. I’m a newbie subscriber now. By the way, when I sew presents for men I use thrifted men’s shirts for a more manly look. If you have men in your life, ask them to give you their shirts when ready to get rid of them. That way they get a present with colors/designs they like. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I should be an expert when finished with all of these. 😊😊😊
I purchased the pattern and have made two for my grandkids. After I quilted them I used my brand new embroidery machine and put their names on them. I am a visual learner too so I really appreciated your video walking me thru it. I was able to pause and rewind when necessary. Now I am going to make me one. Thanks again. It was fun to make.
This was en excellent tutorial, thanks for detailing the thread colors. I like the drove grey too. I received this pouch as a gift and had to get the pattern to make more in other sizes.
Amazing verbal instructions and beautiful acknowledgment of the pattern designer! I have purchased the pattern and made the small and large one so far, and LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 😊
I love this project it is beautiful. I usually start in the middle of the fabric when quilting and work my way outward to make sure it comes out smooth.
Thank you so much for the video! I too am a visual learner and really had trouble understanding the written instructions. Once I followed your tutorial along, which is super clear, I see that the pattern is actually very simple and elegant! Also appreciated the chit chats about versatile thread colours to order, I'm finally finished using up my thrifted thread bundles and need to buy threads and oof the price really does add up if I want multiple colours!
I bought the pattern and made it the same day as I watched you video. Love it. I used the cut off piece and made a smaller one to maybe pop your I pad charger etc in. I also added D rings and made a wrist fob. Wish I could add pics to show you
I have a Facebook group you can post those pics to! Or, if you’d like - email them to me! (Becca@sewbecca.com). Fb group link is in the video description!
The part you discard 25:51 could be saved to make little needlebooks or key fobs. You asked for ideas. For some reason when you asked that, it stayed in my mind. I just had to tell you. You make such interesting things. Thanks for posting. :)
Loved the demo! Thank you! I bought the pattern and just finished my first one! I did the smallest one- which was a bit challenging due to size. I am going to try a larger one soon! My daughter loves it though- her glasses are nicely tucked away now. Thank you for this tutorial. I am also a visual learner AND teaching myself to sew.. appreciate this greatly!
Thank you!!! A visual learner here too. I bought the pattern weeks ago and haven’t felt confident enough to try it until now! Your video was a huge help! 🩷
I enjoyed your tutorial including all of the various details & specifics that you share while working. From my prospective, I find your comments valuable for the viewer. Thank you.😊
Watched both your and Ian’s tutorials on the Hemingway pouch. Awesome! He suggested using the cut off triangle to make a pencil pouch which is what I did. Two bags, very little waste, win-win! Thanks to you both for the tutorials. 😊
I bought this pattern last year. I hope to make gifts of this pouch this year. Thanks for all the tips. I will need to watched this again and then as I go along. Thanks, Becky
It helps to find something new- I look through my patterns and kits and can usually find something that excites me. It doesn’t happen very often that I don’t feel like sewing!
I love to make zipper bags, and this pattern is the next one I want to try. Your tutorial is very helpful. I'm a visual learner, so I am thankful for RUclips.
I loved your tutorial. I had seen a video about using dish drying mats for bags, I thought maybe this would be perfect for the Hemmingway Pouch. I got a tropical fish drying mat at Hobby Lobby for $3, grabbed some turtle and fish fabric from my stash, and a scrap of trim/binding. I followed your video and had the pouch in less than 30 minutes, I added a handle to the open side with the zipper using 12" x 2" of the cutoff piece, edged in left over binding. This was a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this tutorial. Like you I am a visual learner so this is a perfect support resource for the written instructions. I'm making one now, if I am successful (and I have a sneaking suspicion I will because of your video) I'll be making some more!!
Thank you so much fir your video. I had previously purchased the pattern and was sitting here reading it a n d parts had me confused. I thought there has to be a video..and here you were! Now to get busy and make a few presents!!!
Use extra scrap piece to make a small zipper pouch. Use the second half of the zipper for the original large pouch and make the zipper pouch with the same steps you use to make the big pouch. I had a trim off half an inch from the little point, but it turned out really well and would be good for a pencils or even a glasses case. The zipper pouch works for the large original or extra large original, but not the small and medium size scrapped.
Just came here to see Dorothy from the Thumbnail. Glad that I found a nice host, creative tutorial and probably a wonderful, sewing-themed and new to me RUclips Channel. You did a wonderful Job, Dorothy and I am sending my best wishes to you and your Mum from Germany. Regards, Stephanie
Thank you for several specific things, Recca. First of all thank you for the clear, detailed instruction. (I've seen these bags on line and have been contemplating making one just from the concept, without the purchased instructions.) Second, thank you for promospecial zipper of simply use a regular one from my stash. Getting the zipper pulls on successfully has always been a challenge or ordeal.)
Becca, like you, I’m a visual learner. I found your instructions are very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing and suggesting how to obtain the pattern.
I have made a couple of these for an iPad and for a laptop and love them! For my laptop, I added a carrying strap and used the cutoff to add a pocket on the outside. The only thing I wish I had done was to add a zipper to the pocket. I will on my next one. Thanks Becca for the awesome tutorial because I am very visual too. ❤️
You are so welcome! Just so you know, this Wednesday, I have another tutorial for another center Street bag pattern. It’s the Holland pouch, and it’s super easy to make! Hope you come back and watch that one too!
What a great pattern, I now need to go get my copy. I know a couple of people who could use one of these... & I'm one of them! Thank you for the detailed walkthrough, it gives me the confidence to try it out!
I've been looking for gift ideas and when I saw this I thought it was perfect. I went to the link you listed and bought the pattern before I watched your video on making it and kept my fingers crossed that I could make one pretty fast. Thanks Becca. I've been away from your site for awhile and glad I caught you again.
Honestly, watch the video and pause it as you go along! Just use the pattern to reference any measurements!! It’s a super simple make…I made 4 of them yesterday evening!
Wow love this pouch even though I don’t enjoy using zippers. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Sometimes I want to put down my current project and make your newest item. So much fun to watch.
Thanks for the informative tutorial! I purchased the pattern (love pdf’s….no haunting the mailbox waiting for paper pattern). I watched your video first, then read the pattern and I’m ready to start making three for gifts. Perfect watching tutorial first retaining those words in your brain camera and then follow paper pattern to completion. Like reading the book before watching the movie. Thanks for perfect Christmas gifts for great grandkids new tablets! Happy Holidays! Blessings, Dawn
After watching this video, I purchased the pattern and made so many of these. Passed them out to my team as gifts. I was looking for something easy to make and this was right on time.
Hi Becca. First I want to say a huge Thank you for showing me how to make these bags. I had boughten the pattern then found your video and it was so much easier to understand so thank you…. And like you I hated the waste so I want to show you what I did with the left over I cut off, it took a bit to figure out what and how to do it but I think you’ll love it. I’m trying to figure out how to post a pic.
I made several of these and found it lays very nicely to serge the inside edges rather than binding. I also attached the zippers at the same time as my first stitching when binding the zipper edge so I had two rows of stitching holding down the zipper tape neatly.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it is so much better visually then trying to read a pattern. I’m so happy that I purchased this and then when I found you it all fell into place. 💞🙏🏻 I will be making a lot more especially for presents 😊
Super great tutorial ,your instructions really helped me. Love the Hemingway pouch pattern. Thank you for linking the company so could purchase the pattern. Merry Christmas. Making pouches for Christmas gifts
Thank you for a great video tutorial! I purchased the pattern and made the first one today!! It was so easy! The demonstration and tips you shared made it easy. Your zipper advice was great as well.❤
If you double up the height of the initial size then when you cut the diagonal you have 2 pouches at a time. I don't know if I explained myself well. Great project.
You did! A few others suggested the same thing, I'm going to try it!
That is an awesome idea
Love this idea ❤
❤❤❤thanks! I don’t even have my pattern yet, but I think I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the great tip!!😊
@@sewbecca I'd love to see you do this 💗
I love how you honor the patternmaker. Thank you. Your instructions are spot on. I am truly inspired.
I didn't want to throw out the small scrap triangle so I used it to make a mini pouch!
😍 thanks for an awesome walkthrough.
My mother is heading into Assisted Living, likely after Christmas. She requested (10min before I started watching this video!!!) a pouch big enough for her iPad. I need to figure out how to add handles but that’s not too hard once the first one is made. Thanks for the tutorial. I like that you don’t give cutting measurements out of respect to the designer :)

@@sewbecca That’s what I was thinking! Thank you :)
I agree. I was thinking strap added to carry it would be perfect.
I absolutely bought this pattern, and the Holland Pouch, because your videos made so much sense of the projects. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I’m a visual learner and this has really helped me 😊
I am so happy that your instructions always show challenges and how to overcome them. Such as putting zipper pull on. Helps me realize I am not alone. Excellent job ❤ Thank you.
Cute pouch. You can also stitch over the zipper ends to prevent accidentally pulling off the zipper head while turning inside out.
Also, running a stitch all around before attaching the binding will squish down the foam and binding will go on without the bulk.
Great tutorial!
Off to get the pattern
Thanks for those extra tips - those would definitely make this EVEN easier!

OOh, I like the idea of combining several discards into a single super scrappy bag!
Your tutorials are simply the best!!! Thank you
Aww, thank you so much! 💕

I just bought this pattern this morning. Glad I stumbled onto this tutorial.
I absolutely loved the pattern - hope you get a few made before Christmas!

OMIGOSH, the seatbelt harness video is what got me here! It was shared on a FB group I follow. I found this video next. I LOVE Becca's teaching style!
💥Wowser!!! AWESOME Tutorial Girl! You hit this one out of the park! WAY TO GO💥
That means a LOT coming from you, Ms. Tracy! Thank you, my friend!

You're welcome! I just pulled fabric to make one of these for me! I plan to make one to cart my iPad around in!
Me too! I haven’t downloaded the pattern yet? Is there a time limit? Is it downloaded to my email (haven’t looked).
Thanks for this tutorial! If anything, this project taught me the importance of using a good quality zipper!
I’m getting the pattern!!!! Sew cute!!! Thanks so much for the quick teaching instructions!!!!! Now I’m not afraid to try it!!!!
You're SO welcome!
With the offcut corner you can make a small notions pouch size, just bind it on the outside instead of the inside
I purchased the pattern and have made two for my grandkids. After I quilted them I used my brand new embroidery machine and put their names on them. I am a visual learner too so I really appreciated your video walking me thru it. I was able to pause and rewind when necessary. Now I am going to make me one. Thanks again. It was fun to make.
I bought this pattern last week and have made a few .. easy peasy!
Thank you so much for this visual instruction I am also very visual and I learn by watching, thank you again sounds like a great project to make. 1:50
This was en excellent tutorial, thanks for detailing the thread colors. I like the drove grey too. I received this pouch as a gift and had to get the pattern to make more in other sizes.

You could use the extra quilted piece to make quilted hearts for ornaments or for I Found A Quilted Heart. Cut with pinking shears. It’s really cute.
Oh, cute idea
I love that idea. I have found one of those hearts but never made and placed one. I just might do that!
Love the pouch.
I bought the pattern and made it the same day as I watched you video. Love it.
I used the cut off piece and made a smaller one to maybe pop your I pad charger etc in.
I also added D rings and made a wrist fob.
Wish I could add pics to show you
I have a Facebook group you can post those pics to! Or, if you’d like - email them to me! (Becca@sewbecca.com). Fb group link is in the video description!
What is a wrist fob?
The part you discard 25:51 could be saved to make little needlebooks or key fobs. You asked for ideas. For some reason when you asked that, it stayed in my mind. I just had to tell you. You make such interesting things. Thanks for posting. :)
Thanks for the tips!

Wow, that is a great video tutorial. Thank you.
Those are really nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Bought the pattern last night. Working on it now thanks for the video
The piece trimmed from the top would make a good cup cozy. Like for a Starbuck’s coffee cup.
I just bought the pattern, and after watching your video a few times I think I’m ready to try making this! Thank you,
I bought this pattern last year. I hope to make gifts of this pouch this year. Thanks for all the tips. I will need to watched this again and then as I go along. Thanks, Becky
I’m visual learner too. I just ordered pattern and can’t wait to make. Thank you for video. Have a wonderful Christmas 🌲
Thank you! You too!
Thank you! Your instructions were great! I used my walking foot with the 'bar' set at an inch and it saved time. :)
Oh my happiness. I bought this pattern and love that I have another video to watch for making these!
Looks like happiness is just a pattern away! I'm glad you're loving it and I hope the video helps you create something amazing. Enjoy!
Ooh,
This is lively, the tula is spectacular.
Hugs, Chel 🌸
Becca I am so happy you shared this pattern. I'm on my second one now. Thank you for all your sharing. You are so appreciated.
You’re welcome!
It helps to find something new- I look through my patterns and kits and can usually find something that excites me. It doesn’t happen very often that I don’t feel like sewing!
It's like a treasure hunt in my sewing room! Who knows what hidden gems I'll find in my patterns and kits that will get me excited to sew again.
I loved the tutorial....and I downloaded the pattern and will make it tomorrow. What a fun gift....I am thinking a Great Valentine!
Fabulous. Thankyou.....lm from the south west of Western Australia...Australia....❤
Love this bag! Thanks for the video!
Would like to buy pattern how do I do this . Loved your video
I love to make zipper bags, and this pattern is the next one I want to try. Your tutorial is very helpful. I'm a visual learner, so I am thankful for RUclips.
You're SO welcome! I just bought ANOTHER one of their patterns and am absolutely in LOVE!
Thank you for your clear instructions! Just ordered the pattern.
Wonderful!

Use extra scrap piece to make a small zipper pouch. Use the second half of the zipper for the original large pouch and make the zipper pouch with the same steps you use to make the big pouch. I had a trim off half an inch from the little point, but it turned out really well and would be good for a pencils or even a glasses case. The zipper pouch works for the large original or extra large original, but not the small and medium size scrapped.
Just came here to see Dorothy from the Thumbnail. Glad that I found a nice host, creative tutorial and probably a wonderful, sewing-themed and new to me RUclips Channel. You did a wonderful Job, Dorothy and I am sending my best wishes to you and your Mum from Germany. Regards, Stephanie

really enjoyed your tutorial it was very professional and enjoyable.You gave lots of hint without talking to much.
Thank you for the tutorial! Looks great!

you are my new "quilt Friend". This tutorials was outstanding! Thank you~
You are so welcome! Just so you know, this Wednesday, I have another tutorial for another center Street bag pattern. It’s the Holland pouch, and it’s super easy to make! Hope you come back and watch that one too!
Thanks Becca, I just ordered my pattern from CenterStreetQuilts. I'll be making a few of these for Christmas.
Hope you love it!
I love your videos!! you explain perfectly...Thank you Thank you
What a great pattern, I now need to go get my copy. I know a couple of people who could use one of these... & I'm one of them! Thank you for the detailed walkthrough, it gives me the confidence to try it out!
I've been looking for gift ideas and when I saw this I thought it was perfect. I went to the link you listed and bought the pattern before I watched your video on making it and kept my fingers crossed that I could make one pretty fast. Thanks Becca. I've been away from your site for awhile and glad I caught you again.
Honestly, watch the video and pause it as you go along! Just use the pattern to reference any measurements!! It’s a super simple make…I made 4 of them yesterday evening!
Wow love this pouch even though I don’t enjoy using zippers. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Sometimes I want to put down my current project and make your newest item. So much fun to watch.

Perfect watching tutorial first retaining those words in your brain camera and then follow paper pattern to completion. Like reading the book before watching the movie. Thanks for perfect Christmas gifts for great grandkids new tablets!
Happy Holidays! Blessings, Dawn
Enjoy the pattern! Spoiler alert, I bought ANOTHER pouch pattern from Center Street Quilts that I want to try!
After watching this video, I purchased the pattern and made so many of these. Passed them out to my team as gifts. I was looking for something easy to make and this was right on time.
Wonderful!
Love this Becca I’m making every one and they will be great gifts for family and friends
What a great pattern! I will buy this one tonight. And your explanation and demonstration are first-rate. It makes it look so easy. Thanks.
Hi Becca. First I want to say a huge Thank you for showing me how to make these bags. I had boughten the pattern then found your video and it was so much easier to understand so thank you…. And like you I hated the waste so I want to show you what I did with the left over I cut off, it took a bit to figure out what and how to do it but I think you’ll love it. I’m trying to figure out how to post a pic.
I made several of these and found it lays very nicely to serge the inside edges rather than binding. I also attached the zippers at the same time as my first stitching when binding the zipper edge so I had two rows of stitching holding down the zipper tape neatly.
That's a great idea!
Going to make a few of these for Christmas out of novelty fabric that the recipient loves. This video will help lots!!!
Excellent video! Going to get the pattern and make some of these for Christmas gifts!
I just purchased this pattern! The pattern is very well-written but I am a visual learner so your video will be a big help to me. Thank you so much!
Hi Becca! What a great tutorial and a unique pouch! I’m off to get the pattern so I can start right away. 😘
Since this video posted, I’ve made TWO more!!
@@sewbecca Bought the pattern but won’t start sewing till tomorrow. 😊 Finishing up a sweater for my granddaughter!
I am going to buy this pattern but I'm not sure they will get made for Christmas.......This year. 😂 It looks simple to make and a very useful gift.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it is so much better visually then trying to read a pattern. I’m so happy that I purchased this and then when I found you it all fell into place. 💞🙏🏻 I will be making a lot more especially for presents 😊
You are so welcome!
Bought my pattern this morning and will be making one for my daughter soon! I love it and I really appreciate the tutorial!
I saw this on aFB ad today and was thinking I would make it…. More I’m pretty sure that I will. Thanks Becca

Super great tutorial ,your instructions really helped me. Love the Hemingway pouch pattern. Thank you for linking the company so could purchase the pattern. Merry Christmas. Making pouches for Christmas gifts
You are so welcome!
Thank you for a great video tutorial! I purchased the pattern and made the first one today!! It was so easy! The demonstration and tips you shared made it easy. Your zipper advice was great as well.❤
You are so welcome!
Really a cute little pouch and so easy. I would advise investing in a zipper jig. They are worth their weight in gold!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you!! I needed to watch this. I made one yesterday and got confused and did the binding all wrong but your video has made total sense 🙌🏻
