    I know this is 4 years old, but I have to comment for anyone that might run across this video. I have watched quite a number of videos to learn how to create an accurate and professional looking project bag. This woman not only shows you how to do it, but she does it in front of you. I have watched several where they say how to do it but go on to do a sloppy job, not here! She shows you how to make it look professional and it does. Thank you so much!

    Hi Jenn..........Just wanted to say I've been sewing for over 50 years and teaching sewing for over 30 years and must sat you've done a beautiful job. Not only with the sewing, but with the teaching as well. You were clear and very concise. There would be absolutely no problem with any level of sewer to understand the directions. LOVE your corners. Take care and have a great day!! Hugs from Canada! (Yes, I'm a hugger. We hug alot up here because it's so damn cold!!)

    I'd recommend unzipping the zipper, then using wonder clips along the length of the open zipper to keep the vinyl in place on that second strip.

    I am not a sew-er, I found a lady on Etsy who makes and sells these project bags. They are beautiful and so useful. I have oredered so many from her. I will gladly pay her whatever she wants for them, as I now see how much work goes into making them. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial video. Well done!!

    I would like to thank a lot american craft women because you always find the perfect storage for all ... in yarn storage, in fabric storage and Floss Tube storage.
    I saw your video for this pouch and I like very much. So this morning I have made mine, and it's nice.
    Thanks a lot and happy crafting 🙂❤🌹

    When I insert the vinyl into the strip underneath the zipper, I run a light line of of glue from a fabric glue stick to keep the vinyl from slipping out. It has worked great for me.

    • @amaanat.
      @amaanat. 6 місяців тому +1

      I do the same and mine is always better this way. For some reason the vinyl always slips and is unevenly stitched if i don't use the glue .

    Oh my word, I love this project bag 💜 I've now made four for myself 15 x 12" and one for a colleague plus two at 13 X 10" and one for a colleague who has just started cross stitch. I made myself a chart for sizes 9 X 7; 11 X 8; the ones made up and 17 X 14" Going to go for even numbers next. They are so quick to make up and look so stylish. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from London, UK.
    Update Oct 2021 - just made 2 more 15x12 this weekend. One for my 4 1/2 old granddaughter to hold her first sewing project - a quilt for her doll's cot and the other is for me, Christmas fabric for Christmas projects - a 12 days of Christmas quilt and tablecloth with cutlery keeper for my daughter.
