I would like to thank you for personally walking me through this project. I pick up this video over 10 times through the course of me making this project. But now I have one down and are ready to start my next one again thank you for the tutorial.
There are a lot of tutorials for zip purses- but this is the best I have found. Clear and concise, and explained so well for a beginner. I have now made several for a Foxy Fundraiser for wildlife, so thank you so much x
Thank you for a beautiful and clear tutorial. My mother's made clothes all her life, I have basics I remember, but now that se is gone I been looking for some to help me make beautiful things. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@SewnByNikki one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Very professional, steps were clear and concise. I’m going to definitely make some wristlets using your method. Thank You Nikki!
They look great!! Thank you so much for the tutorial, sew easy to follow !! I subscribed looking forward to more videos and catch up.on the ones I have not seen.
Glad to hear that! You can alter fabric sizes based upon how wide and high you want your wristlet so try using a piece of 8 1/2 X 11 paper to draw your ideal size and cut your fabric based upon that (adding on 1/4" for seam allowance). Have fun creating!
Hello Nikki. I just found your tutorial and it's exactly what I've been searching for. My question is that I'm using old faded denim fabric to make my purse so is the Pellon 809 the right interfacing? The fabric is heavier than quilting material but still flimsy. Thank you. You're an excellent teacher. I haven't sewed in years and I thought I'd start with this project.
Hello! There are many types of interfacing you can use. It just depends on how strong/thick you would like it. I would suggest going to the store and feeling the interface. When I want a bag or pouch extra stiff, I use Decovil. If I want it flexible where I can shove it in my bag, I use a fusible fleece. It just depends on your needs and preferences.
I think for this particular size, the boxed bottom would be too big. I would increase the wrislet size by an inch and make the boxes 1x1 ... Remember, creating the boxes will have you loose a bit of height on the wristlet so you would need to account for that measurement. Let me know how it works out for you.
Try having a spritz bottle near you when you sew. Sometimes, the interface comes wrinkled off the bolt. Spritzing it and laying it on pre-heated cotton fabric helps it adhere easier. I would also be sure to iron on top of the fabric once you have ironed on the interface.
Thank you so much for this tutorial Nikki, I am in SA with some scrap material and will be making these ❤

Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I'm so glad you taught me that lil trick with the wristlet strap. I feel so complete now.
You are so welcome! I love putting that strap on a lot of my products to be used as keychains and other things.... Helpful thing to know! : )

I love your tutorials!
I have a lot of 808 pellon will that be ok
Yes. 808 is just the one side/smaller dimension of the 809 interface; same product.
Doing some for gifts.. but thinking to make them like a bottom box..will it be fine?
I think for this particular size, the boxed bottom would be too big. I would increase the wrislet size by an inch and make the boxes 1x1 ... Remember, creating the boxes will have you loose a bit of height on the wristlet so you would need to account for that measurement. Let me know how it works out for you.
When I ironed my interface it came out wrinkled. I used high heat and the 809 Pellon. What could I of done to it?
Try having a spritz bottle near you when you sew. Sometimes, the interface comes wrinkled off the bolt. Spritzing it and laying it on pre-heated cotton fabric helps it adhere easier. I would also be sure to iron on top of the fabric once you have ironed on the interface.
When you iron on interfacing you should press and not move the iron back in forth until it's bonded. I always iron the fabric side. If that helps.

I keep ending up with rounded corners at the zipper ends. What am I doing wrong?
Poke out your corners with a chopstick or pencil eraser before you sew the lining. It makes a big difference!
