Wow! Of all the tutorials on recessed zippers - this is the BEST! Thank You!
Thank you so much for that, it means a lot to me!
LOVE THIS VIDEO! I DID MY FIRST TOTEBAG WITH THE BOXED SEAM BOTTOM AND IT TURNED OUT LOVELY! I WAS SO PROUD! I "TRUST THE PROCESS!" I DESIGN AND CREATE CANVAS TOTE BAGS. I USUALLY DON'T MAKE BOXED BOTTOM BAGS BUT THE FIRST ONE TURNED OUT SO PRETTY I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN! LOVE YOUR VIDEO!! GO ON GURL! YOU ROCK!
I'm so glad I found your content. I've searched u tube for months watching tutorials & majority of the videos I've struggled! You explain the steps so clearly & I'm so thankful! Zippers no longer give me anxiety lol.. 😊❤
Oh thank you so much for this, I really want to make sure everyone is enabled to make whatever they want to. I believe in you!
Best tutorial I have seen on a recessed zipper! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I clicked on this video! First I love Natalie's sewing style. 2nd so calming and natural! I've been struggling with the zippers but I'm going to try this method! I also love that this video is so relatable to real life and doesn't seem to be all dolled up and edited to look perfect! I love the easy to follow instructions! Oh your nails look fabulous🥰
Thank you so much for this lovely comment!! You can do it!
Love the way you put a recessed zipper in. Love your teaching skills to.
This is the video I’ve needed so badly. Thank you so much! Now I can make recessed zippers on every single bag whether or not the pattern was written that way.
That makes me sooo happy!!!! ❤ 😄😄😄😄😄
I have been looking for a simple method of adding a zipper to the top of a tote bag and found your channel. I like your style very much...and your relaxed attitude. This was exactly what I have been looking for...THANK YOU so much. I will be tuning in frequently!
Awesome! Thank you, I'm so happy it was helpful for you.
I tried a different method and struggled saw your technique and have made 3 bags with no issues! 😊🎉🎉
Wonderful!
Good morning from Edinburgh, Scotland 👋 I found you by accident & I am so glad I did 😁 I make bags but struggle with zips. Your tutorial was very clear, thank you 🙏
I'm so happy you found this helpful! :D
I have been cutting the boxed corners before sewing the the side and bottom seams to eliminate the threads pulling out when I create the boxed corners. I would rather do it this way than go back and have to tack all the places I cut. Great video tutorial, Natalie.
"Just trust the process!" - Wise words. Great tutorial, thanks.
:D Thanks Sian!
Absolutely the best and easiest way todo a recessed zipper I have seen. Kudos.
Oh thank you Cindy!

Hey Natalie... thank you so much for being fabulous :-) Love your teaching style and chilled out approach to learning .

We are heading back into a winter freeze sadly but good excuse to stay warm with all things sewing x

A very special and much easier way to insert a recessed zipper .I must try this
Thank you so much 😊
@@SewHungryHippie I did it and I am so happy .I can do a recessed zipper .Wow so much more fun your way !!!!
I loved this and now I know I can do this to thank you for the video
You are so welcome!
KUDOS to you for such an awesome method of teaching how to sew a recessed zipper Natalie- you really took my self imposed fear away- YAY! Plan to began my new project shortly. Love your humor and personality - such an added Plus as we learn from you; love your style. Your advice regarding how sometimes we might make a mistake, “no worry” was spot on - generally there’s always a way to fix it even if you feel discouraged.
I’m hooked and look forward to furthering my education and developing my own sense of style with a “little help from my friends” (taken from the Beatles song).
Thanks for the sewing love and inspiration…
Ginger
I’m so happy !
Newbie here...loving it. Tks for sharing this project method with us
Welcome!
Thanks, Cute fabric, nice instruction.
Thank you!
Thank you so helpful
So glad!
Love the video
Thank you so much!
Nice bag ❤
Thank you!
I love this and I cant wait to make this bag. You make it look so simple. I hate to ask but from looking at the pattern for this bag you have different sizes to cut the box corner out ranging from 2.5 - 3" however in this video you cut 2'squares....... how do you decide what size to cut it? and is there a formula to go by? I am one of those crazy people that like to follow directions, and get a bit nervous when I don't LOL Thank you so much for your wonderful RUclips channel.
Great video! Does the zipper strip width need to be the same size as the boxed corner cut? I’m making a very large tote with a depth of 8” so my boxed corner cuts are 4x4. Would I do the same size strips, 4” each? Any help is appreciated!
Hey. Im making the purse size. Im hoping to do a recessed zipper, but im a new bag maker. I want the handles to be sewn in. At what point do I add them
I wonder if you could just stitch the panel to the top of the zipper just by laying on top, then make a second stitch line to secure the zip tape edge. This would be much less bulk without flipping. I haven’t tried a zip this way, but since you’re using a clean fabric edge, it makes sense to me.
Feel free to try your way!
Best best best video
Thank you so much Cindy!
Спасибо большое
I've watched many tutorials on installing a recessed zipper on bags; I love the finished look your method gives. Also, noticed in this tutorial you have 2 rivets per handle end; did you apply those with a hand held or table top press? Do you have a quick demo of how you did this? I just purchased a table top press, love it so far, but haven't used it for rivets yet. Thanks again for sharing your time and talent. Both appreciated.
Hi Donna, I only use a table press - I have zero luck with the handheld tools, they hurt my hands and are usually uneven - I know it's me! LOL I made a snap press video a few years ago, I'll find the link. I am happy to make a rivet press video, it would probably be less than 5 min long. They are so easy to use, just practice a few times on scraps. Here's my snap press vid (similar in technique) please forgive my kid's camera work ruclips.net/video/zHCRLXKLWnU/видео.html If you want to come over to my Live Sessions, I'll do a rivet press demo this Friday at 11 am cst. It will be here on my channel as well - I stream them here so they can be easily found later.
@@SewHungryHippie Thank you so much, will view your rivet press vid and I'm sure your children are priceless. Thanks again.
Thank you Natalie, I just found you & love how you show us what you do & just do it. Do you have a tutorial to add a recessed zipper to a tote/purse that is already finished?
Not yet!
Thank you for replying.
The bag is so pretty. Love the fabric. I would have to extend the straps. The process of placing a shoulder bag on shoulder for me needs to be smoother. One handed.
That's the beauty of sewing- you can do whatever you want.
@SewHungryHippie would it work if I made just one strap.? Or would it make it have a weird shape? 🤔 Help!!
BEAUTIFUL BAG FROM A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
You are so sweet, thank you!
Discovered your channel about a week ago. I was wondering if your kit has enough fabric to do this recessed zipper option. Love your channel, by the way.
Welcome! Thanks for watching! So happy to have you here! The Santorini Tote Kits include the fabric for the original pattern only. The recessed zipper fabrics can be anything you choose and do not have to 100% match the bag.
How do I go to the sewing vido
Looks amazing as always 🤩 which Juki machine are you using?
Thanks so much. I'm using the Juki TL2000 in this video.
Hi Natalie, love your projects. Thank you for sharing. Can you please tell me what mm zipper is best for purses and totes? Thank you. Cheryl
HI Cheryl, I use #5 size most often for bag making, which is approx 5mm across the width. A #4.5 is 4.5mm and a #3 is 3mm, and so on a so forth. It's really a personal preference thing, you are never "wrong" in choosing a zipper that works for you. :D
@@SewHungryHippie thank you so much! Have an amazing rest of your day!
Just what I needed to see! What foam do you use in your construction?
By Annie's Soft & Stable
Hi,love the fabric do you carry fabric,I just found you on u tube
Yes we have fabric at sewhungryhippie.com 😄
Or side strap (wide
I love you! You are a nut!🥰
Can you use this recessed zipper method for any bag or is it specific to this bag?
You could adapt this to any bag most likely, measurements change and the look will change but I would think it would work on most.
❤️
What if I didn't add recess before I sewed together? ??? How do I put zipper onto top? I did everything backwards 😢 HELP
Unpick and start from the last step you did correctly.
You are wonderful. My poor brain watched many times. This is exactly what I wanted a needed. Thank you so much. Now where do you get the rivets?
Awe thank you so much. The rivets I purchased from minkus margo on Etsy. These are 12mm head and 8mm post size.
How do you determine how wide to make the insert?
This tutorial has a PDF download with all measurements, and it is in tandem with my pattern. Everything is on sewhungryhippie.com
