    I have watched a lot of zipper pouch tutorials. This is by far the best one I have seen. You do a great job of describing every step. Especially how to insert the zipper without getting the edges all wonky.

    Your videos are wonderful Sara. I’m a 70 year old bag lady and I’ve been making bags for many years, but I still learn so much from you. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work and keep shining your bright light into the world. We love you,

    I'm a new bag lady. I keep selvedges and even small scraps - waste nothing! I'm a dog and cat lover and owner and my little darlings love to visit me in my sewing room. I find it helpful to store fabric in clear lidded containers to avoid pet hair. Love your teaching style Sara.

    I am a bag lady! Ive made dozens of bags for myself, friends, and to sell, on occasion. I also save my selvedges! I want to make a cute bag from this pattern but I'm currently making large pieces of fabric using selvedges to reupholster my old sewing chair. Really glad to find your tutorial for hints using selvedges.

    I have 2 cats, Pepita (13 years old) and Carry (3). And I love bag making !!!! I have made around 40 pencil cases/zipper pouches/make up bags since I learned how, and I am not going to stop. I don't have any selvages, because I buy 1 or 2 metres of fabric, or just enough for the project I'm working on, but I am definitely going to try this pouch , it looks so original.

    Yes, I use them to tie bind assorted things & I use them on finer fabrics seams to stabilize it like growgrain ribbon is used . Have you ever used the selvages along the zipper edge where the fabric usually frays? Yes I am a big bag lady:)

  • @elaine58100
    @elaine58100 6 лет назад +4

    When adding the tabs does it reduce the size of the zip? For example if I want a 6" zip will I end up with a 5" zip? Or should I cut a 7" zip to end up with a 6" zip? Sorry if this all sounds a bit confusing, I am new to crafting/sewing and so I am just learning all these new techniques. Love your videos> Thank you :)

    Hi Sara, I really loved this video and want to make this bag for my niece (and for myself!). I was wondering why you used a 1/4 inch seam allowance for the exterior of the bag and 3/8 inch for the interior? I have made several small pouches and no one has ever mentioned this before, so I am curious. Thanks!

    • @jadedfairie5317
      @jadedfairie5317 6 лет назад +1

      Hi April you do that so the lining will fit snug inside the pouch. If you did it the same seam allowance it would fit a little baggie inside.
