MY SUPPLIES
My fabrics and batting (I use Vilene High Loft Volume Fleece 295) are from the Remnant House in the UK:

I can’t live without my sharp stabby tool as I call it, is a clay sculpting tool. I bought it in my local craft shop. Amazon do sell them as part of a clay sculpting set but not individually.
All my other supplies are from Amazon including my large squizzors. They are actually aquarium precision pinch action scissors.
I use H2O gone FSL water soluble stabilizer or Brothread cut away stabilizer for my stitch outs.
Happy stitching!

You do such a lovely job of demonstrating the projects and techniques- the best on YT! Thanks for sharing.
Awww thanks Cyn that's very kind of you to say so. I'm so pleased you enjoy them. It isn't easy pleasing everyone sometimes but I try my best.
I have begun watching your videos while on the treadmill. It makes the time pass quickly, and I am inspired to try some of your designs and creations. I especially appreciate your technique-based method of teaching.
Thank you for watching I am pleased you enjoy my videos, thats a novel way to watch them too, I love it.
I am amazed that a zipper can be put in so easily. What a wonderful project. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Janet you're welcome. It certainly makes light work of them. I love this bag design, I have stitched out several now for presents.
The pieces you CUT off the zipper make beautiful loops on your purse!!!
Good idea thanks Reb. Thanks for watching and happy stitching.
You’ve solved the mystery of how the decorative zips are done. Thank you. I love your fabric choice for this bag 😍
Ah thanks Heather, I have a soft spot for fairies. Thanks for watching and happy stitching.
Those fairies look very like the flower fairies, I had a set of Flower Fairies books when I was a child and loved them. I still think back to some of the pictures when I see certain wild flowers 🥰
I did use tear away stabilizer as the written instructions gave, but will for sure use the water soluble next time and I need to do a better job cutting where the turn opening is, as mine didn't have enough to do a proper turning in. So I had to "wing it" for my first attempt on this cute bag. Thank you for the excellent video!
You're welcome Bobbi. To be honest I never use tear away I don't find it holds up well, so I only use either cut away or wash away. I am sure your next one will work out fine, sometimes you have to stitch one out to get the feel of it then you nail it.
I had the exact same problem. Kind of discouraged me with the entire pouch.
Thank you! Easy to follow along on something I thought would be difficult.
It is as hard as you make it. Take your time and stitch along with the video and you wont go wrong. Happy stitching.
I have been so afraid to try this. It is just amazing to watch you do it so easy! Thanks for showing us.
You're welcome Lyn, it really is as easy as it looks, just take your time to line things up properly when placing your top and bottom front pieces. Go on you can make this, use this video and stitch it step by step. Happy stitching.
Could I make this with an ordinary zipper by doing the zip in the first step? Loved your tutorial on making your own zip, which I did and then did this bag. Great stitch out.
I dont see why not, you would have to stitch the zipper placement outline first of course and then put the zip in.
Thank you so much for your kindness in gifting this pattern Kay. I am rarely pleased with anything I anguish to make but on this occasion I am truly delighted with what I have achieved...... and entirely due to your wonderful teaching. WOW, I am gobsmacked! With huge thanks and best wishes, Marion in the UK.
You are so welcome I will pass on your comment to Heather who designed this lovely bag! Pleased you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Stay safe and happy stitching.
wonderful clear and well done video.
Thank you. I am really pleased you enjoyed it! Happy stitching.
Thank you, Kay! What a great tutorial, and fun design to play with. Love the beautiful fabrics you chose for your bag. Thank you for sharing your time and tips with us. Angel Huggers!!
Thanks Mary pleased you enjoyed it. I love fairy fabrics this one was for me.
That is such a beautiful pouch. Thanks for your teaching instructions. You are absolutely one of the best embroidery teacher I have seen!
Thank you very much very kind of you to say so. I am pleased you enjoy them. 😊
It's so amazing that these kind of things can be created without the typical sewing machine. I never would've thought it! :-)
lol I am sure that then embroidery machines were invented their creator didnt imagine the whole new level they could be taken to. Do you have an embroidery machine or thinking of getting one Linda?
@@KaysCutz Yes, I have a newly purchased PE800, searching for Christmas projects for family gifts other than the typical towel stuff lol. Your projects are amazing!
Congratulations you are going to love it. Steep learning curve at the start but once you gain your confidence you will be away. Happy stitching.
@@KaysCutz Question: If I can only invest in one pair of those scissors at the moment, which one would be better to get those little tiny pieces , the double curve scissors or the squizzors?
The small squizzors are my cant live without scissors. I dont know where you are in the world but if you can get Artimio brand they are the very best in my opinion (French brand) Here is a link to them. They are inexpensive, stay sharp, cut through quite thick layers and comfortable in my hand. The reason I like these best is because they have slightly thinner tips than other brands and slide nicely into tiny corners and I have fewer oops moments as they dont seem to want to cut stitching when I am trimming up close to the stitch lines as you can see in my vids they cut smoothly. Here is a link to them.

What a cool zipper. I hope I can find one😍. Thank you. I enjoy your clear instructions. Great job!
I get them on Amazon. Thanks for watching pleased you enjoyed it. Happy stitching
I made your bag it turned out really sweet thank you
Love that you used wash away instead of tear away.
Thanks Denise. I dont use tear away I find it too weak and it tears during stitching which defeats the whole object of stabilizer in my opinion. I only keep wash away and cut away. Thanks for watching. Happy stitching.
I discovered your website late last night. Your designs are beautiful, and your instructions are superb. I cannot wait to try your projects. Thank you for your generous gift. God bless!
Welcome to my channel Donna thank you for saying so. I hope you have hours of endless embroidery enjoyment. Stay safe happy stitching
Thank you for the video, as always they are great. I like seeing how a pattern comes together. I like watching the machine work, even when it's in fast forward.
Thank you and thanks for watching pleased you found it useful. It is almost magical isnt it?
I just did this as a stitch-a-long. It was so easy to follow along and I feel like I have learned so much. Thank you!
Your welcome pleased it helped you. Happy stitching.
Kay I love this fabric you chose. It's beautiful.
Thank you. Stay safe and happy stitching.
Thank you again. I love these purses. What fun!
You're welcome thanks for watching. They are good fun.
Thank you for your videos
You're most welcome. Happy stitching.
What a wonderful presentation! You make it look sew easy! 😊
There is nothing difficult to making this, just take it step by step and stitch along with me. Happy stitching, stay safe.
Great technique with the q tip
Thanks for watching. Happy stitching.
Great video. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you thanks for watching Ren. Happy stitching!
Lovely - thank you
Kay I love all your tutorials
Thank you Sherry thats good to know. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching
Thank you!
You're welcome Dorothy. Thanks for watching. Happy stitching.
Do you think it would be easier to turn through if the opening was at the bottom? Is there any chance you could look into to this please? Many thanks.
Hi Jane you would need to contact Heather at Kreative Kiwi about that as it is her design. You will find the contact address at the top of the KK website.
Great video, as always. Love all your tips!
Thank you and thanks for watching pleased you found it useful
Thank you..

Thank you for your time
You're welcome Razia, thanks for watching.
Love your tutorials, thank you for sharing them x
Thank you and you're welcome.
Is there any way to get larger bags in this pattern please I love this bag but want to make it larger I do not have software
A 16 x 26 pouch like this PLEASE 😊❤❤❤
You do such great videos. I have a question about why you would use wash away (2 layers) instead of cut away or tear away? Where are you ordering the lace zippers from?? THANKS.
Hi Mary, you use two layers because the stabilizer is the foundation of your building, it is there to stop the fabric from stretching and skewing as it stitches and often one layer isn't enough. The more solid your foundation the neater your stitching will be because it stabilizes everything. I used wash away stabilizer because if you advance to timestamp 10:15 you will see you have to cut the stabilizer away and using cut away would mean that you wouldn't be able to cut it away completely, some of it would always show. I never use tear away as I find it isn't very strong and in my opinion it doesn't do a good enough job of stabilizing and has a tendency to tear during stitching. I hope that helps you. Happy stitching
@@KaysCutz thank you for your time and detailed reply. I have my zippers finally and need to get some more wash away!!
What is the name of the fairy fabric you used?
Hi,. It's one from Michael Miller's Flower Fairies collection.
www.amazon.com/Michael-Miller-flower-Fairies-multiples/dp/B004XL7J56
Is there anyway to make this bag larger?
Thank you easy to follow video . The purse looks beautiful. Could I ask what size pins you used please
Hi Tracey I bought a mixed box but use the 5 cm or 2" ones the most but any with a head will work fine.
@@KaysCutz Thank you
How many pieces of washaway stabilizer did you use when you first hooped it?
I use 2 wash away pieces or you can use one layer of cut away or 1 layer of no show/invisible mesh depending on the brand if you prefer. I don't recommend tear away as it doesn't hold up well to any satin stitch and if you wash it it can go lumpy with tear away so yeah I am not a fan of it for embroidery.
Thank you for your reply.
question, on these bags, after I put on back.. it's like it is too small after taking out of hoop. the bag bows towards the back even after ironing? what am I doing wrong? It is lining up perfect with machine design.. 😢
You might be stretching your stabilizer too tight in the hoop. If you stretch it too tight when you release it from the hoop it will relax and that can cause the problem that you are describing. Your stabilizer should be held firmly in the hoop but don't pull on it when you hoop it. I know many people say it should be drum tight but I would argue that pulling stabilizer that tight stretches it and it isnt necessary. Have a look at my video on stabilizing. I will be updating this one soon to add pins around the top of the hoop and to use two layers if using wash away stabilizer but the hooping advice still stands. I hope this helps ua-cam.com/video/a9OvdsTkLtU/v-deo.html
@@KaysCutz nope, I just put in and go, don't pull taut. I am wondering maybe because you use bond on back of your material for back? You say in video it's because you wanted a bit thicker, maybe this is actually adding that extra, so it doesn't bow?
If I wanted to add a loop of ribbon at the side for a key ring, at what point would I do that?
Hi Pamela you would do it when you add the backing. Lay it on the front fold facing inwards, tape it in place then add the backing fabric over the top. Stay safe and happy stitching.
Great video! Always wondered how to do this. Is the zipper metal and will that be a problem stitching over it?
Hi Susan it isn't a metal zipper it is a nylon one with a metal pull on it. As long as you keep the pull out of the way it is fine as you can see in the video.
Are the stitching lines downloaded to a USB stick? 😃 😃 😃
I can't access this pattern because I am not on Facebook at all. Correct? 😃 😃 😃
Hi Cheryl no wrong Facebook doesn't give you access to the designs, that is just Kreative Kiwi's group for posting pics of your KK makes, get help and support and inspiration. You get the designs from Kreative Kiwi's website:www.kreativekiwiembroidery.co.nz/product/Free-lace-zip-in-the-hoop-Bag.html .
I always include a link to the design underneath each video. Yes it is transferred to your machine via USB. If you don't know how to unzip and transfer a design to a USB key I have made a video for that here:- ua-cam.com/video/cfO1lDO1Dsw/v-deo.html
hi Kay do you normally wash the bag after to remove the WSS? thanks
Hi Anne, no I leave it in and wait until it needs washing. I do wash my fabrics so they don't shrink after they are washed though. If I am gifting something I include a note saying... This item contains water soluble stabilizer, it will wash out in warm water but after only one wash it could feel a bit stiff once it dries. This is perfectly normal, until it is all washed out, so if it feels stiff wash it once more. Once the stabilizer has all disappeared it will return to it's soft and supple state again.
@@KaysCutz hi Kay
That's great thankyou.
Thanks very much! Great video, as always. Is that a metal zipper?
Hi Connie thank you. No it isn't a metal zipper it is a nylon/polyester zip, only the pull is metal.
Kays Cutz thanks, Kay
Why don't you use tear-away stabilizer?
I just don’t like it because it tends to tear and has let me down too often, it is too unreliable especially if something has even a tiny amount of satin stitching in it . Also it isn’t very nice once you wash the item if you can’t pick it all out as it can go really lumpy. I prefer to use cut away or wash away as it either washes out completely or says in forever without breaking down and affecting the long term quality of the item. As stabiliser it is the very foundation to the end results of my embroidery I want something that does the job properly as I am paying out for batting fabric and threads and it isn’t cheap, so a failed foundation is a big waste of money and also materials so I don’t risk it just to save a few cents. The way I see it is you wouldn’t build your house without a decent solid foundation and it’s the same for embroidery. I prefer to save money elsewhere for my embroidery.
To be honest I only ever use tear away if I am planning out fabric scraps for a crazy patch project as I can stitch out the fabric placement lines onto it and then cut them up and then I know what my scraps will look like together and they will be the right size. It’s personal choice. I hope this answers your question. Happy stitching.
Hello
Thank you for the tutorial and free pattern. What length zipper do I need?
Hi Vittoria it depends on the size you are going to make, all sizes are given in the instructions. If you make sure your nylon zipper is longer than the longest length of your hoop you will be fine.
Thank you for the information on the wash away stabilizer it is great. Where can you buy the lace zippers?
Hi Mary thanks for watching, you can buy them in bulk from aliexpress.com or from Amazon. I bought mine from Amazon. I buy 50 or 100 at a time as it is much cheaper to buy them in a bundle. I get ones that will fit my largest hoop and just cut them down at the time of stitching out a design.
What kind of batting did you use?
Hi Mary Ann I use Vislene 295 high loft fleece for pretty much everything. It doesn't shrink, washes well and is light weight.
Vilene 295 Sew In High Loft Volume Fleece Batting Wadding White - per metre a.co/d/1TVynpI
I used a low loft batting and could hardly get it turned through the little hole. Seems the high loft would be worse.
@@maryannrogers258 as you see I managed to turn mine without too much trouble. 😊
Hiii is there any possibility at all that you could provide a 16 x 26 lace zipper pouch like this PLEASE!!!!!?? I am sure everyone would not mind to pay for all your trouble to help us with a bigger pouch!! I have a stack of lace zips, and this is the BEST POUCH TO USE THOSE Zips!! ...
I WILL BEG😂even....
Hi HJcillie, you would need to contact Heather and ask her as it is her design. Her email address is at the top of Kreative Kiwi’s website or in the instructions. Happy stitching.
@@KaysCutz ok..
.I will do that now... thanks
can someone advise fabric, wadding and stabilizer measures please?
They are given in the instructions usually page 2 or there abouts Margaret
