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
The tip of not top stitching your lining is amazing! What a difference for all my pouches now! Thank you!!
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'm glad to hear you like the tutorial.
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.
Yay! Thank you!
Awesome! The hints for sewing the zipper ends are very helpful.
I get so inspired watching you and learn so much.
I haven't made one of these for a while, so I came back to this fabulous tutorial. You are simply the best! So precise and you don't add any unnecessary info! Perfect! Thank you Svetlana xx
Thank you so much!
I love all your videos and your book. It makes it so much easier to watch you and then try to make the pouch. Thank you for posting.
Now I understand the secret of your NEAT sewing for zipper pouches: basing of zippers in advance! Thank you!
Your projects are always so beautiful!!! Thank you for this amazing sewing channel!
Glad you like them!
You hands down have the best channel. You have taught me more in a week than the any other channel. Being new to sewing you have no idea how grateful I am to have found you. Haha! You have saved me from a few tantrums. Haha! Thank you!! ❤
You are a great teach. Everything is clear & easy to follow.
I enjoy your tutorials, easy to follow and you explain a couple of things I’ve wondered about. I will make this today!
Thank You! I have been struggling with ugly zipper ends for years and always wondered how you made yours lay so perfectly!!
I can’t get measurements of material I will need
I love this little pouch......I just made 3 more for presents. The best tutorial ever! Thank you!
Yours is definitely one of my favorite channels. I love how patiently and clearly you explain your steps. Thank you. I will definitely make this pencil pouch! Also - I’ve made tons of chubby totes thanks to your tutorial! 👏🏽 You’re simply the best. 💛
How absolutely wonderful to hear, thank you :)
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!!)
my pleasure, happy sewing :)
Perfect tutorial as always Svetlana. This turned out beautiful despite my never having used a metal zip before. Thank you.
I love your tutorials Svetlana, you always explain everything so clearly!
Glad you like them!
I love the fabrics you use
I always had a pencil case that my mom and I would make for school. As I got better at sewing I would make them a little more fancy. They were not as fancy as these! Love the fabric.
I finally understood how to sew on a zipper. You explained it perfectly. Thank you so much! I'm going to try this now :D
A million thank you’s for the zipper tip......😍
Is that to minimize bulk?
Great tips, thank you!! I also love and appreciate how you explain everything in such a clear and to the point way!
Beautiful!
I’m going to give it a go.
I’ve made your chubby tote twice and they came out lovely. My two friends loved the bags! Thanks for all that you share!💕
Beautiful!!! Thanks for all your tips !!! It’s always nice to see you tutorials.
This was amazing! I’ve always struggled with the zippers at the corners, but your method made all the difference! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Awesome tutorial. I'm going to let my 11 year old make her own pencil case following this tutorial. I will supervise of course!
I love your tutorial. You explain things so incredibly well.
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.
That is awesome!
Nicest zipped pouch I've made to date - very smart. Excellent tutorial. Many thanks.
I stumbled on your channel... and what a treat! Thank you for your tutorials!
yay, thank you :)
thank you! how would i prep the zipper if it was a zipper by the yard?
Love love love your tutorials- the best!
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👍😁
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.
BEST tutorial ever ! Thank you so much! I have your wonderful book and was hoping you would demonstrate sewing a tote similar to the one in your book. That would be fantastic Svetlana!
great idea, will definitely put it on my list :)
Love it! I'm binge watching all your videos, then I'm going to binge sew with my scraps.
Yay!!!
Thank you. I had wondered how to avoid dents in the sides for awhile.
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.
You do wonderful tutorials. And the items you make are beautiful💕Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!
Can't wait to try this one. Good use of small left-over materials and zipper chain I have laying around.
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!
Brilliantly explained. Thank you!
Thank you, you cleared all my doubts on why my corners look so bulky and why peoplen don't top stitch the lining.
So polite , humble and loving voice of yours....so beautiful pouch...i hv already made for my daughter but definitely i will try this too..i m sure she will be more happy....thanks...lots of love to you..
Thanks a lot 😊
Love it. Your fabric choices are always so great and your detail amazing!
Thank you for guiding me with making my first zippered purse. Heather, New Zealand x

Perfect video!! I made a pouch as I watched you do it! ❤❤
Wonderful!

I just love your tutorials. Thank you so much!
my pleasure :)
Love this tutorial I was just wonder where can I get some of the best fabrics.
Hi! Great video! Thank you! Can you tell me how much bigger the fabric pieces should be than the final pencil pouch?
Excellent tutorial on zipper bag...
Great unique tips to follow...👌💐🙏
Glad you liked it
Oi! AMO seus projetos! Obrigada por compartilhar suas idéias e experiências.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho!
❤🌷
Beautiful!! Thank you for the tutorial!
:)
What a beautiful pencil case. Thank you for your tutorial . Will definitely try it .
yay, happy to hear that :)
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.?)
I want my zipper to be 1 1/4'' - 1 1/2'' shorter than the width of the pouch.
Very beautiful
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!!!
❤your skills
So clearly explained - thank you
Hi, really enjoyed this tutorial and found it very helpful, will definitely be making these. Can I just ask a question, I’m fairly new to sewing and was wondering why you stitch the corners of the zip down first and if you would still do that with a nylon zip. Thank you x
Love it! Will definitely give it a try 😍. Thank you
Your fabrics are so pretty!! Where did you get the hummingbird fabric, if you don't mind sharing. Thanks!
Love your tutorials ,so easy to follow. Folding zipper ends back makes it so easy to see where the zip ends when sewing around bag. Thanks! Going to catch up with your other tutorials..
Do you sew bags with a vinyl front?
thank you. I don't sell finished bags, just the patterns.
Thank you for the tutorial. Now I know where I'm making a mistake with the zipper corners. I will try again. (:
love your videos and patterns where can I find this beautiful fabric
Where do you get all of your fantastic fabrics? I know that you’re in the Netherlands, but is any of it available in the US?
Me gustó mucho, muy fácil 😍
Thank you! Would you make a no-lining pencil pouch? I am very new to sewing 🤗
Hello!! What type of fusible fleece did you use? Thank you!
Great tips! Thank you
Merci beaucoup, superbe travail 👌🏻
thank you :)
Great video! What fabric did you use?
I love this. Where do you get the metal zippers?
Thank you for this tutorial!! Def gonna give it a go! If I’m cutting a plastic zipper shorter, can I use the same zipper end technique?
I'd suggest adding fabric tabs on each end if you cut your zipper.
Thanks! I was asking the same❤
Wow, great video, what Juki sawing machine you use. thanks 💕
What kind of presser foot did you use? Thank you!
Love it thank you
You are the best teacher ever!! I’m watching all your videos and will be watching all your coming videos!! I might be interested in your book that others have commented about. What is it called and how can I order it? Can u add a link? ❤️
It's called That Handmade Touch, you can get it on Amazon www.amazon.com/That-Handmade-Touch-Simple-Projects/dp/1940655382
Which type of fabric is best for pouch ?
Lovely! I was wondering why you didn’t include the lining in the top stitch part, thanks for explaining. Do you only do that with zips that go straight across the top?
it helps side seams come out nice and straight.
Thank you!❤
You're welcome 😊
The tutorial was really great and easy..
Loved it💜
Can u please provide the measurements in CM😅
I followed your quilt as you go video and made this pencil case out of it. First time sewing a zipper and thanks to your video it came out great . Thank you. Can you please share what kind of fusible fleece you use for this?
that's fantastic to hear. I use Pellon TP971
Can you use snaps instead of a zipper
From where did u buy this sewing machine?
What model is your Juki sewing machine
What are the benefits of folding the zipper edge?
Cute pencil pouch.
But please tell, what is the purpose behind folding the edges of the zipper ??I think that the edges provide margin while stitching and closing the sides of the pouch.Thanks.
Nice you have a etsy shop.
Thank you! I love how professional your work looks! Would you mind sharing what type of Juki you use?
It's JUKI TL2000 Qi
Hi! I love the zipper method!
But what if I am using a really long zipper that I need to cut? Thanks
check out my video on how to shorten a nylon zipper: ua-cam.com/video/vTcwf2awmJE/v-deo.html
Thanks a lot!
You sew soooooo fast!
Hi, love your tutorials! Question - Can I use a longer zipper and cut it to size or would that ruin the corners?
you'd need to add tabs to your zipper if you want to cut it and make it look good :)
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.
Awesome ♡
Thank you! Cheers!
