This is "the" best tutorial I've ever watched to install both the zippered pocket and the recessed zipper. I've used the zippered pocket method many times and it's fantastic. I agree, you are an excellent teacher, without all the fluff!! Thank you so much!
Oh, my goodness, girlfriend. This was way more than I imagined it to be. Perfection. Detailed. Not overly wordy. You are a great teacher. God bless you and keep you safe. You not only showed us what to do, what not to do and what the pros and cons were. An hour well spent. Will come back to set at your knee.
Amazing video. You are a very good instructor. Very helpful and practical video. Thank you for no music, precise wording, great diction. Glad I found your videos.
Just WOW! Just discovered you this evening. Your instructions and rationale for doing each step are perfection! Your teaching skills are phenomenal; what most of us hands on / visual learners need. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Love how you get down to business and editing out the repetition for each of the four pieces helps things move along. Thanks again. Just subscribed.
Such a wonderful tutorial. I have leaned so much...after years of being somewhat 'nervous' in using zips I now feel confidant to take my sewing to the next level. Thankyou!
This lesson is brilliant. I learned so much from you in the shortest amount of time. You saved me years of mistakes and hours of frustration with your clean, clear and simple directions. TYSVM!
I love referring back to this video when I'm making a bag. Your explanation is so easy to understand and actually being shown the right way and the wrong way always gets me beautiful results. Thanks so much. Clare.
Great tutorial. I'm curious though, how do I adjust the measurement of the liner to incorporate the recessed zipper for a pattern that does not include a recessed zipper?
super. my mistake was I used always double-sided tape to instal zipper in the interiour of my bags, but from now am gonna use buisible tape, great idea.
Very delighted with your step by step tutorial, Jessica !! Im a 76 yr old"learnin to sew again, bag lady,"! Really appreciate your help, it makes sewing so much fun , Im adding an extension to a bag im making today,Thanks Much !!!
You are an amazing sewing instructor. Very clear on instructions, pleasant voice and repeat instructions as you go make it very easy to follow and enjoy. Thank you.
This is the first video of So Many Creations I've run into and LOVE IT. Your delivery method is spot on, clear and concise. I appreciate your dedication to detail. I have, of course, just subscribe. Thank you for your video!
This is just the tutorial I needed to watch to insert a recessed zipper in the bag I’m making! I needed to know exact measurements, which was missing from all of the others. Thank you sew much!
Thank you so much! I get asked that question quite a bit and it’s actually the way the ironing board came. I’m not sure where the fabric came from, sorry! I ordered the ironing surface from TNT quilt boards in Massachusetts.
This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen yet for these zippered pieces! And now I know what to use my Steam n Seam for in so many different situations! Thank you so much !
It’s a personal choice and you can definitely cut it shorter. I would suggest waiting until the bag is done first before cutting it so it’s easier to finish.
Absolutely brilliant! I watch a lot of sewing videos, and I have rarely seen one where the instructions were so clear. I am a new subscriber!! Can't wait to watch more videos.
This is wonderful! I make bags and usually design them myself. I always end up guessing at what my measurements should be, like how far down to place the recess or how long a panel should be. Now that I have some go-to guidelines, I'm much happier and confident about the process. Also, tape if THE WAY to go when sewing zippers! Thank you for such great tutorials!!!
I was absolutely thrilled to find this video!! I gave been making the Cailey bag and got stuck on the recessed zipper part. What a great job you do explaining!!! Thank you sooooo much!!
Great tutorial, thanks heaps. I have just discovered your tutorials and am now going to bookmark them as well as find them all. I have a question about the lining piece. When you cut off the top inch and then sewed it back on doesn’t that make your lining 1/2” shorter than it was intended to be? I watched it twice and was still confused on this bit.
I have been looking for a tutorial that clearly explained the recessed zipper closure installation, and wasn’t satisfied with any of the explanations until I found yours! Your instructions are clear and concise, your camera angles are perfect, and I love the helpful tips. You are a great teacher! Thank you.
This has been the best tutorial on the placket pocket and recessed zipper yet! Thank you for such a clear, step by step video. I feel confident that I can adapt any bag pattern now. Well done!!
This is an excellent tutorial on both the pocket and the recessed zipper. I've been doing my recessed zipper a little differently, but I love your method and will try it on my next bag. You're an excellent teacher! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I wanted to do a outside zipper pocket and recessed zipper. Your instructions are on point. Very good instructions. It came out great. I'm new to bag making and this was so helpful.
Thank you for your amazing tutorial. I enjoyed it very much, nice to have someone who is clear in her instructions and actually shows you what they are doing step by step. Amazing!
I completely enjoyed your lesson! I felt like I was sitting in a classroom getting one-on-one attention. I immediately went to your website to place my order. Thank you for sharing your talent for teaching!!!!!
Superb video! ❤Everything was great; your verbal instructions, the audio quality, the camera angles.WOW! Thank you! My only suggestions; the busy print of the ironing board cover is rather distracting. It would be good/better to demonstrate this using a different colour fabric for the lining.
Such a clear and excellent tutorial, I have not tried one but I certainly feel confident with the step by step tutorial. I am in South Africa and need to source the tape and what I have used previously sticks to my needle and causes a sticky mess.
Such a fantastic tutorial!!! So easy to understand and clear instructions. I appreciate all of the hints and suggestions along the way. I've subscribed and bookmarked this video!
Wow! You have no idea how clear and useful your instructions/ tips/ explanation were! Thank you! I now have the confidence to make a zippered pocket. You're right, sometimes we get confused with RS to RS or fold in on RS or WS 😑😑😑. And that often results in many many minutes with the seam ripper. But with this video, everything is explaines clearly and purposefully! Thank you once again. 😍😍
Excellent tutorial. Photography and numerous tips were great. I have several of your patterns. I should be able to make them if your written directions are as good.
I choose not to but you can if you would like. I would rather that my lining was a little bit short since they can stretch and sag overtime anyway. So I do not change the dimensions.
You are one heck of a great instructor!!! I am currently working on a bag to hold our maps when we travel and these two zipper instructions are EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so very much and I look forward to more of your videos.
Hi, you’re a nice, clear, speaker. The zipper opening is also the first part of a bound buttonhole and part of the back pocket on men’s’ trousers. Decided to subscribe. Good idea to pivot then stabilize stitch. My Elna is 45 yrs old, still great, but now I have a zottsie new Janome computerized Sewing-embroidery machine that even does my dishes! 😉 best wishes for your channel.
Amazing tutorial. So so clear. Thank you so much for this & all the pro tips. I customise bags, so don’t have access to sew right sides together, these tips were invaluable! Thank you 😊
Everything I was going to say has already been said in the comments about this being the best, most instructive, easiest to follow, best use of fusible tape, and easiest method of putting in both kinds of zippers. I have sewn zippers in before but your instructions will help me be more professional and look like I know what I am doing. There is no guesswork with your method. It's just a perfect video and you are amazing!
Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial …. Love it

Thank you very much, wonderful tutorial. You explain details so clearly, and your hints have been very helpful
very helpful tutorial! Thanks
Wow! A game changer! Wasn’t happy with my recessed zip after following a pattern so found this tutorial. Wish I’d seen it before!
I really enjoyed your video, I never thought to use fusible tape. Can you tell me where you got your background fabric with the sewing machine design.
Thank you so much! I get asked that question quite a bit and it’s actually the way the ironing board came. I’m not sure where the fabric came from, sorry! I ordered the ironing surface from TNT quilt boards in Massachusetts.
You do a fantastic job of explaining all of the how, why, and when in this tutorial. Thank you so very much.
Thank you. Terrific video tutorial. Best & clearest I have found.
I wish I had found this last week. I was making a gift bag for a graduation, and coulnd't figure out how to include the recessed zipper closure!
I’m sorry you didn’t find it earlier, but now that you’re here, I’m sure I’ll have some other videos that will help you for the future!
This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen yet for these zippered pieces! And now I know what to use my Steam n Seam for in so many different situations! Thank you so much !
Thank you for sharing your way of doing a zippered pocket and recessed closure. I will follow you for your video's.
I was so happy, happy to find this tutorial!! One question: Is there a reason that the final tail of the zipper has to be that long??
It’s a personal choice and you can definitely cut it shorter. I would suggest waiting until the bag is done first before cutting it so it’s easier to finish.
You're a perfect teacher 💕😊. Thank you for sharing .

Yes it does but it’s perfectly fine for the lining to be slightly shorter.
I was here looking for this question/answer too. 😀

Totally newbie to bag making and I’m so happy I stumbled upon your tutorial. Thank you for your amazing and detailed tutorial! Blessings to you!💜

Thank you thank you Totally awesome tutorial ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It’s my “go to” when I install pockets. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You're a FAAAAABULOUS teacher! If I could give 10 stars to this tutorial, I would. Thank you! I will save it with my other sewing videos.
Superb video! ❤Everything was great; your verbal instructions, the audio quality, the camera angles.WOW! Thank you!
My only suggestions; the busy print of the ironing board cover is rather distracting. It would be good/better to demonstrate this using a different colour fabric for the lining.
This is the best method I have seen for making the zipper panels for a recessed zipper. No turning of a tube and very accurate. Neat outcome. Love it
Such a clear and excellent tutorial, I have not tried one but I certainly feel confident with the step by step tutorial. I am in South Africa and need to source the tape and what I have used previously sticks to my needle and causes a sticky mess.

omg - this recessed zipper method is so much crisper than the way I learned.Can’t wait to try it!!!! thank you!
Do you have to adjust the lining height since you have created the 1/4” seam for the recessed Is is an awesome tutorial thank you so much.
I choose not to but you can if you would like. I would rather that my lining was a little bit short since they can stretch and sag overtime anyway. So I do not change the dimensions.
@@SewManyCreations I was thinking that too.
