I have watched a lot of pouch tutorials but the ones by Sotak are the best I have seen, concise and very easy with added professional style finishes like bound exposed seams and other tips
I agree with the other commenters. Your videos are clear and concise and SO EASY to understand. I just popped over to your etsy shop and bought a bunch of patterns. I can't wait to start sewing tomorrow! GREAT videos!! Keep up the good work!
Well done, as others have indicated, this tutorial is different because you don't have to cut corners or manipulate "triangles" to be cut before forming the bag. Thanks.
With every tutorial you share you show us your process, your best sewing tips and skills, your colour style, so we can become better at this craft that we love. Thanks for saving many from going stir crazy.
Love this! Thank you for the tutorials. You explain and show every step 👍🏼 especially for a visual learner like myself. I will be making this one for sure. I just finished making your other great pattern the Montana tote. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us 😊
Love the way you show how its done, your explanations for each step are so easy to follow. The videos are well lit and filmed so its so crisp and clear to watch, thank you for the effort and work you put in.
I love your method of boxing the corners without any cutting and binding the raw edges - it comes out more even and more polished and professional looking! I'm so glad I found your videos, and I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing your talent and time!
Thank you for the tutorial. I’m definitely making this tomorrow. I’ve never seen one made without cutting the corners. I’m very excited to try this!! Please keep these tutorials coming!
Thank you for this terrific tutorial, Svetlana :-) Despite years of quilting, today was my first day working with zippers. I am really happy with my little box pouch… thanks to you!
Thank you so much for this great pattern. I’m a beginner and had no trouble with it. Used a 12” zip and just trimmed it down. It turned out really cute. Now I’m off to your website to shop :)
I really like this bag. In making it I wish that you had recommended larger seam allowances. You have to be close to perfect to make it work. This pattern taught me why bag making typically has larger seam allowances than quilting. That said this was a great tutorial and I will try to make it again.
Yahoo! Finally a tutorial that REALLY is beginner friendly. I made one correctly on my first try!!!! My question - how can I adjust pattern to make small, medium, & large boxy bags using THIS technique? Mega thanks😘
Thank you so much for your fantastic videos. I’m am learning to sew and I have enjoyed making many of your projects including those from your wonderful book.
Love this, thank you! The accent fabric by the zipper & how you bind the lining is beautiful! It is great to be able to use 10" x 10" squares for this.
You make everything look so easy. I have got to make my 13 year old grandson one in male colors. He will be 13 in a few days and I will put some money inside.
Wow another great tutorial,! I immediately cut the pieces and started sewing and voila! Done..your work is always so neat and precise.thanks for sharing.
Love this! Could anyone advise how to enlarge this. For example if i wanted a bigger Dopp kit for a man, like 10” long, 6” wide, and 4” high, what size do the main panels need to be?
super cute - making 4 of these - one for each Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to help grandsons keep all the pieces to together. I'm doing the strips next to the zipper in each turtle's color just to be extra.
I purchased your Boxy Tool Pouch pattern (which is similar to this, but better IMO) and just made one for my husband to replace the toiletry bag he has had for years. I used waxed canvas for the exterior and ripstop nylon for the interior and it turned out perfectly! I didn't use any interfacing since the waxed canvas can't be ironed and it's got enough form on its own.
I can't believe I've never seen this video before, I just love your tutorials you make everything look so darn easy! and your fabric selection is amazing. Can't wait to make one. Thanks for sharing
Love your tutorials! It’s great to see new ways to do things. I am wondering why you topstitched this pouch through both the exterior and lining fabric but didn’t for your zipper pouch with zipper tabs.
She is the best teacher /instructor, so far I have viewed online. Thank you ,,❤️😊
I’m a very beginner beginner and your tutorials and patterns are saving me!!!
This is the best box zipper pouch tutorial I have found. Genius!!!
Wow, thank you!
