    The best tutorial on UA-cam by far. You are the only person that has mentioned the tip about top-stitching the outer only. Thank you so much for showing us your amazing skills. Keep going, you're amazing x

    Great video, I love all your tips and tricks for sewing pouches. I really appreciate the tip on not sewing the lining to the outer fabric after sewing the zipper. I always wondered why you did it that way, and now I will do the same! Thank you so much!

    I also have to say: BEST zipper pouch tutorial ever! I love all those tipps and tricks (especially not topstitch exteriour and lining fabric). And by the way: I like your fabric choice! Thanks so much. I have to watch all your videos and look forward to the new ones.

    I am so thrilled to find your video! After 9 months of making facemasks, and realizing how much I enjoy the creative process, I have been so very eager to find another small, quick-to-completion project to sew! But, as a novice sewer, I couldn't visualize how one would even begin to make a zippered pouch. Your video makes this adorable little pouch look so easy to make! Thank you!!! (I just subscribed!!)

    I wanted to make pouches to give away as gifts and I bought zippers and fabric and cut out about 30 of them, however I've viewed several videos and my zippers never looked quite right. Your video is great and I can't wait to pick my project up again after a year. I'm so motivated! Who knew I'd find what I needed by googling "pencil case". I will let you know how they turn out. Thank You.

    Loved it. You are so neat, tidy and explain things so well for beginners. Also I've made several of these but the zips sides have always been slanted but I will now try the way you did the zip and hopefully this won't happen👍😁

    • @stoneblue1795
      @stoneblue1795 2 роки тому

      I could not agree more. I have hated and dreaded making top-zip bags because of how mine have come out in the past. I always end up dialing the zipping down a bit and putting it on the front of bags a couple inches from the top. Which is fine, but I like to be able to master more than one way of doing these.

  • @fivefootnothing0000

    I did seem to have bit of an opening t the end of the zippers. I’m not quite sure what I did but I’ll be trying again.

    I suck at doing zippers on the top spine of bags like that- this will be a good practice exercise till I get it right, thanks for the tricks & tips!

    Your videos are so very helpful!! Your camera work is very very well done and your slow, methodical explanations are quite clear - especially for beginners, like me! Thank you. More, please! (Is there a rule of thumb for how long a zipper to buy relative to the overall width of the zipper pouch you are making? If the pouch would be 10-1/2" wide, would you buy a 10" zipper? etc.?)

    • @sotakhandmade
      @sotakhandmade  3 роки тому +2

      I want my zipper to be 1 1/4'' - 1 1/2'' shorter than the width of the pouch.

    Yesterday I made a little pouch and it has a little curve on the edges you mentioned, but I didn't sew the lining or the outer fabric. Could it be because I didn't sew the corners of the zipper like you did? I really don't like it... 😢 Yours looks absolutely peeeeerrrrfect!!!

    • @sotakhandmade

      you'd need to add tabs to your zipper if you want to cut it and make it look good :)

    • @stoneblue1795
      @stoneblue1795 2 роки тому

      Or learn to work with bulk zipper chain in plastic/nylon like YKK makes (number 5 a good choice or 8 if you want really robust), you can stich across it for the most part and make it any length you need/want.
