Beyond beginner here … With both sides looking similar, I had a hard time figuring out what sides should face each other and did it backwards. Can you do another with a fabric that looks different on each side so I can see what should face what..?
What a wonderful explanation. I have just subscribed to your channel. I am in Adelaide, South Australia and I make bags and teach classes in making them. I can't wait to watch your other videos.
The content this time is good and worth watching, Hope you continue to produce more and better products. Good content How to sew a lining zipper pocket
Good video, but I feel like I am watching Part 2 and missing a Part 1 of the "How to add a lining zipper pocket to *any* project". You simply say "Take the piece with the zipper placement marking". However, you didn't show us how to calculate the dimensions of that box needed for the zipper opening according to whatever zipper length/size we have. Do I want the box to be the same size of the zipper or larger.. but by how much larger? I came here wanting to add a zipper pocket to a bag that does not have any pockets. And I haven't a clue as to how large do I want that zipper placement marking (the box) to be for the zipper I have. I was going to fold over the pocket instead of using 2 pieces though.
The box needs to be the same width as the pocket opening - the visible part of the zipper, which will be different for different projects. The pocket bag needs to be wider than the opening by about 2-3cm, so you can stitch it on both sides. You can mark it about 1-2 cm down from the top edge of your pocket bag.
@@allsewpetite thank you so much for the clear and speedy message. I followed another video that said the box (not the bag) needed to be 1inch wider on each side of my zipper teeth and it was way too large. Thankfully I had another zipper to use. I've never made one before so I didn't know how to figure out the dimensions. :)
This is a great tutorial! So easy to follow! Here from VRA :) Although I do not sew I know so many people will find this so helpful! How long have you been part of VRA?? Great work!
What is your favourite way to sew a zipper pocket?
I like this method too, but don't like to turn my bags through the pocket opening.
Thanks! I have watched 3 vids on how to do this and almost gave up, but yours made it seem much less scary!
Oh thank you! You've got this!
You're a great precise teacher, thanks a million!
Thank you so much 💓
Thank you, excellent tutorial
That's great to hear! Happy sewing ✂️🧵
