For what it’s worth I’ve been sewing for roughly 40 years and was taught by my mother, who was an incredibly talented seamstress. I’ve made a shift recently from garment sewing to sewing accessories. I will also watch many tutorials on the same subject to gather bits and bobs on construction techniques. I’ve learned a lot from this video and would like to thank you for sharing your expertise!! ❤
@@vksdub7185No, you avoid sewing the the tabs at all cost. They is why she added the 1/8 turn of cloth. She will sew with a 3/8 seam and that 1/8 allows you to avoid hitting that tab. That total space was 1/2” only 3/8 of the 1/2 inch is sewn .
Myrna is there a reason why you cannot stitch the lining side down the same distance as the top side stitching ? That same area would be left free of the stitching .You would still have both seam area free. Have you ever had the lining get stuck in the zipper ?
What a great teacher! Everything orderly, neat, with professional results at the end. Easy to understand, bright and uncluttered surroundings, no musical distraction, happy personality - I can’t wait to try this in the morning Myrna, thank you so much!
I've been praying for a zipper fairy and now I've found you. Yes I make bags and pouches but you had tools I've never seen or used. The hammer 🔨 trick will be getting a workout.
Thank you. I think it's rather pretty too. If you check the date of the video, you'll see it was made right at the beginning when I was very much in the learning stages. Since then, my video making skills have developed considerably. One thing I've realized being on this side of the camera is the amount of time, money, and energy involved and the very wide range of skills needed to produce FREE content. It's been a huge learning curve and I have a much greater appreciation for what is offered by channels.
@@InTheStudioWithMyrna I share the comment that it would be more effective if you made the video facing the camera, of course the way of applying the closure is excellent and looks super neat.
@anapittamiglio1228 I'm not making more videos, so this is it. Hopefully, there's enough that works. The whole process is not cheap, is very time consuming, and is a steep learning curve. You'll have read in my earlier reply that this one was made near my beginning.
Very clear. I agree with others that a clear voice with no distracting music is much more pleasant. You are also not wasting time showing how the machine sews. Instead, you explain the process. I have been sewing for 50 years or more and appreciate the precision.
You SHOULD be proud of yourself as that bag is a thing of beauty! I love all the precise measurements and descriptions. I've been sewing 55 years now, and to get such detailed descriptions is rare and wonderful. You go girl!
What a lovely compliment. Thank you. I do love sewing. In fact, I have a friend visiting for a week and we're busy having fun in the studio. Clothes and more bags!
It was the pleased little giggle and “I’m so proud of myself” at the end for me! 🤣😍I think we all felt that with you! So much work, but it really paid off. Now I wonder what my husband will think when I pull out the hammer when I start my next sewing project! 🔨😅 Thank you!
Thanks. I'm a huge believer in celebration. Everyone should have their own hammer. Go shopping. It's a fabulous section of Home Depot. SO MANY other things to look at too.
thanks for taking the time to figure out and share all the details that have bothered me. It's simple to make a pouch but you went the extra mile here to deal with the problem areas. Thank YOU!!!
Oh my goodness. I never make comments on these but this one I just had to. She is amazing. I have tried to make bags for the better part of 10 years , and learn ed so much from her. So many of the irritating little things I’ve not been able to fix she showed me how to. And she’s too cute as well. Really truly recommend this video and learning from her. She’s a great teacher.
I like that cute little laugh at the end of the video and the "I'm so proud of myself"! Exactly how I feel when I finish a project. The fabrics used are gorgeous!
Bravo Myrna. I can't believe how much I picked up from this quick video. An explanation of why you're doing, what you're doing, is the glue that makes an idea stick and it's missing from just about every other tutorial I watch. It's nice to be reminded that taking your time and properly pressing out seams makes a huge difference in the finished product. My mother taught me that, but I got caught up in all the quick-make tutorials out there and have lots of wonky pouches to prove it. I never understood the significance of the texture change on zip tape. Thanks to you, I finally understand where I'm supposed to sew to get a good result on my zippers. Also love your idea of extending the tab length a bit so you have a launch and landing area for the presser foot.
THANK YOU. Your detailed feedback is fabulous in helping me share what I know... which is what I really want to do... to support and encourage other's creativity. I love how one idea leads to another and if we just follow the path, it's an adventure of learning and fun.
I have made many pouches but I learned several things about measuring, marking, reducing bulk and proper pressing. And you reminded me how nice Batik fabric works for linings because it’s thin, yet tightly woven and sturdy. Thank you. I’ll be following you from now on!😊
Myrna great tips on zipper pulls…and especially the pressing and hammering… you look lovely in video…I usually look a mess when I am sewing…your necklace is beautiful thanks yiu so much for sharing
Oh wow, I have been interested in sewing since I was a young girl (inspired by my mother, she used to make most of out clothes) but became interested in quilt making in my 40's, when I retired I thought I would make some pouches and became addicted, I have watched many youtube videos and still struggled a bit sewing nice zipper tabs, this is the best zipper tab tutorial I have watched, thankyou I am now going to make another pouch using your method, thank you
Hi Myrna. Hello from Chicago. I have been stitching zippered pouches, little bags etc. as a hobby for the past 20 years or so but was never happy with the finish of the zippers!! Glad that I came across your wonderful technique with plenty of tips !! Watching you use a hammer to press down /straighten the top edges of the pouch ... @17.48 minutes, was superb !! Many Hearty Thanks!!
Wow! You should be proud of professionally made bag. This tutorial was like taking an expensive class, very well done. You gave me information that I have never heard before. Your tips and explanations are very easy to follow. I will be following all your tutorials from thus day forward. Wonderful instructor.
Hi. Thank you so much for the very detailed tutorial. My favorite part was you giggling with joy at how great it turned out, I feel the same way when my projects turn out great! ❤
Very informative. I have always had trouble with zippers and liners in purses - now I've learned a good way to do them! I just found your channel this morning as I was having my morning coffee & bagel. Thanks so much for sharing this! Just subscribed to your channel so I won't miss any more of your videos.
Hello from the island of Mauritius. I don't have time right now to watch the full video, but I shall come back to it later. It already looks so interesting. Thank you. I wish you all the best 😊
As a hardcore pouch addict, I can never get enough tips on creating the 'perfect' pouch, and your video is chock-full of great tips, thanks! (Now if I can only perfect my boxed corners, lol!)
Now THIS is the video I needed all along! All of my questions have been answered in this one video. Thank you so much. I can't wait to hit the sewing machine and fabric/zipper stash. Mahalo nui!
Fantastic video. I've been making bags for a while but never have I gotten such a beautiful finish as you've taught here. Thank you so much for the tips and expertise. I'm so glad to see that you make your own fabrics to use for these bags too. I'll be looking for your video on that process next. Great way to use up scraps.
I had to subscribe no way around if I want to keep watching your amazing videos !! Is really well explained and easy ti do I love it!! Thanks again for the very explanatory description
Thank you for this. I have made lots of pouches and have been topstitching the main fabric and lining together, right across. They come out much better like this.
Fantastic! I love that you press the seams open versus sandwiching them. I also always felt they fit better and having a perfectly fit lining is the attention to details that many overlook! Great video, can't wait to look at your others.
Thank you. One of the great things about having a toolbox is knowing which technique to use where. There is a place for butted seams and this isn't it. Thanks for the encouragement.
Woman, I love you! When you got out that hammer to pound out the bulk, I had to laugh out loud. You don’t know how much I can relate to the hassle of trying to sew over that area and to keep it even so that everything looks matched when you turn it back out. Thank you for all these wonderful, helpful hints!
In my quilting circle, I complain about how a quilt top, I had been given, was not lying flat. One member said pound it with a hammer. It made me smile when I heard it again from a professional.
Your detailed information is so valuable. I am retired from 34 years as a professor and coordinator for an award winning apparel design college program. Your video is refreshing for the depth of detail and super tips. I can tell by reading the comments that you are truly appreciated. I subscribed immediately. Thanks so much.
I'm so happy to come across your video. Your video will definitely improve my bag/pouch making. Thank you for sharing your technique. You should be very proud!!!
Thank you so much, Myrna! I had never tried zipper tabs before but with your instruction, I feel like my pouches are going to look so much better. Next level, for sure! You are delightful and I'm your newest subscriber!
I have a tendency to slap things together. You are striving for perfection. Very good, your products will retain the reputation of being well made and perfect. We can all learn from you.
It makes me laugh whenever some says I'm a perfectionist. Perhaps in some ways. I do try to do my best at every stage and I find that after practicing that over and over, it gets easier with great results. THANKS for commenting.
This video is really helpful and I appreciate you for taking the time to post this video. I hate to hear you’ve had trouble with UA-cam but THANK YOU for keeping this post up!! You’re a great teacher!
Thanks. Not trouble with UA-cam in that they have been difficult... just it changes so much that it's impossible to rely on and build around. I enjoyed making videos. My software expired just after I posted the knitting one and it's not in my budget to renew it right now especially as I'm Canadian and it's in US dollars. We'll see what happens.
Have you considered way of monetizing your channel? For example some UA-cam presenters have a button for donations/“thank you”/“buy her a coffee”. I looked for one and did not see it. Your videos are excellent. Your skills are so helpful. You deserve to get “thank you” to help you with your costs!! P.s. I have no idea how you would actually do this, but I know lots of other presenters do. In fact, one of my favorite quilting presenters has it and hers is very cute.
@@ebf444 I've been away. Sorry for the delay in answering and thank you for the compliment. Yes. I was monetized and had a whole series of videos. I deleted those and just left this popular one. The thank you button is rarely used and when it is, UA-cam takes a percentage of that as well so unless someone sends you their "tip" directly, it is significantly lower. With monetization, UA-cam is in control. I made more money the first month I was monetized than the last because the rules changed and found that really frustrating that no matter how hard I worked or how many hoops I jumped through, the bar could keep moving.
I am teaching 4 children and their single mom how to sew a zipper pouch today. We started sewing in Feb. Of this year and they are doing great. Thanks for your video!
OH... passing along the addiction. YEAH. I refer to sewing as a many black notes occupation where we can start at row row your boat and work up to major long pieces. It's never ending. A good lifelong activity for everyone IMHO.
I just found you. I started out making quilts on a Babylock Crescendo. In December, I traded her in for a Pfaff Performance Icon. My LongArm Lady loves her 20 y/o Pfaffs. I want to make more bags than quilts. Thank you for your content. Marcella
This was outstanding! I made a zipper bag as a birthday gift this weekend and I was embarrassed at how the zipper came out even though the bag sides were stunning. I resolved to get better but didn't like any of the videos that were supposed to be helpful! Your video was the answer! What luck that I stumbled across it!
This is the first video of yours that was recommended to me in my feed. I subscribed to your channel right away and am currently on my 5th of your videos. I loved the pieces fabric you created for this pouch and would love a video on your process in creating pieces like that. Your explanations on how to get the best fitting zipper tabs really helped me. One wonky part to an otherwise great bag drives me nuts. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your ability to communicate and demonstrate your technique!
I really appreciate your comment although I'm sorry to be late replying. There seems to be a lot of comments YT didn't let me know about. They are currently making some changes so maybe that's why. Thanks for subscribing.

Fabric turn. Spectacular information thanks for the breakdown of this process. I've been struggling a wee bit when i make a pouch. 1/8 for the win.
You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful. Turn of the cloth is another term that's commonly used. The thicker the fabric, the more turning room needed.
Very useful, informative. Overhead views would be a great addition.
I'm glad you found it useful. My later videos now have overhead views and I do think they are helpful.

Have you considered way of monetizing your channel? For example some UA-cam presenters have a button for donations/“thank you”/“buy her a coffee”. I looked for one and did not see it. Your videos are excellent. Your skills are so helpful. You deserve to get “thank you” to help you with your costs!!
P.s. I have no idea how you would actually do this, but I know lots of other presenters do. In fact, one of my favorite quilting presenters has it and hers is very cute.
@@ebf444 I've been away. Sorry for the delay in answering and thank you for the compliment. Yes. I was monetized and had a whole series of videos. I deleted those and just left this popular one. The thank you button is rarely used and when it is, UA-cam takes a percentage of that as well so unless someone sends you their "tip" directly, it is significantly lower. With monetization, UA-cam is in control. I made more money the first month I was monetized than the last because the rules changed and found that really frustrating that no matter how hard I worked or how many hoops I jumped through, the bar could keep moving.
I make a lot of pouches. Your directions of the zipper tabs was excellent! Thanks.
You're welcome. I'm glad they were useful.
I am teaching 4 children and their single mom how to sew a zipper pouch today. We started sewing in Feb. Of this year and they are doing great.
Thanks for your video!
OH... passing along the addiction. YEAH. I refer to sewing as a many black notes occupation where we can start at row row your boat and work up to major long pieces. It's never ending. A good lifelong activity for everyone IMHO.
These are so l such pretty bags!! I love the colors, prints, fabrics that you choose to use from your scraps stash!!! These are beautiful!!♡♡

I just found you. I started out making quilts on a Babylock Crescendo. In December, I traded her in for a Pfaff Performance Icon. My LongArm Lady loves her 20 y/o Pfaffs.
I want to make more bags than quilts. Thank you for your content. Marcella
Welcome. Bags are really fun and a great place to explore new ideas. I hope you really enjoy them.
Wonderful tutorial......thank you for what you do
Thank you.
Well done! I've been searching the internet for a detailed explanation on how to install zipper tabs with straight edges. Thank you.
So glad you found what you were looking for. Enjoy.
This was outstanding! I made a zipper bag as a birthday gift this weekend and I was embarrassed at how the zipper came out even though the bag sides were stunning. I resolved to get better but didn't like any of the videos that were supposed to be helpful! Your video was the answer! What luck that I stumbled across it!
SO glad you found it helpful. I know that feeling of searching for the right answer. Enjoy.
Very neat technique for the top corners, thank you I will be trying this!
It'll have you making lots of pouches. SO FUN!
Absolutely excellent tutorial thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.
This is the first video of yours that was recommended to me in my feed. I subscribed to your channel right away and am currently on my 5th of your videos. I loved the pieces fabric you created for this pouch and would love a video on your process in creating pieces like that. Your explanations on how to get the best fitting zipper tabs really helped me. One wonky part to an otherwise great bag drives me nuts. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your ability to communicate and demonstrate your technique!
I really appreciate your comment although I'm sorry to be late replying. There seems to be a lot of comments YT didn't let me know about. They are currently making some changes so maybe that's why. Thanks for subscribing.
