Thank you so much for this! I knew exactly what I wanted and this was it! Plus I loved how she explained how to adjust the sizes. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. It's perfect!
I just want to thank you for EXPLAINING HOW to make this bag any other size!! This is such a tremendous help! I also wanted to add that I absolutely LOVE the way you installed this zipper. So much easier than a normal recessed zipper! I'm going to figure out my dimensions and make this bag.. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this and for talking in your video. I have been looking for a tutorial with a zipper, but in the end, this one was so easy I appreciate it so much thank you for this video. It helped me so much.
Sew (so!!) glad I found this tutorial! I have the cutest cotton sheets that I bought for another sewing project but the pattern repeat was too large but they would make the cutest beach bags. I have sewn bags without top zippers but I really wanted a zippered top - can't wait to do these!! Perfect for summer!!!
Thanks. Great tutorial. I watched last night and made a bag today using your dimensions. It fits my Siamese Mah Jongg racks and tiles but is a bit snug. I’m going to add an inch to the width, two inches to the height and 1/2 inch to the gussets to make bags for a standard Mah Jongg sets which have wider racks. Now I know what I’m giving my Mah Jongg friends for Christmas.
this is perfect! i've been looking for a good set of instructions for bags to carry around my bigger knitting projects, and this is the best one so far.
I love the way this bag looks. Great detailed instructions. I’ve been making bags for a long time and this is the first time I’ve seen a zipper installed to the lining and a top piece added. I really love how this looks. In the process of starting a new bag and came across your video. Going to try adding my zipper this way. So neat and finished looking. New subscriber to your channel. Can’t wait to see what other projects you have shared. Thank You! Great Bag, Great Instructions & a Great Tutorial. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This a beautiful bag. Thank you for the video. Although the video is too fast for me. I watched it 3 times already. So the 2 pieces of fabric you sew a zipper on, plus the lining should be the same length as the outer material?

This is a brother DZ2750, it's not at all industrial. It's actually a super base model machine! We wanted to make sure that any projects we were putting out would be able to be tackled with any old machine.
This is the fabric we used - www.onlinefabricstore.com/robert-allen-at-home-amapura-persimmon-fabric-.htm It's out of stock right now, but if you give our customer service a call they might be able to get an ETA and place an order.
Hi, I just made a bag and pouch. What did I do wrong? The lining was not as deep as the outer bag leaving a 1+ inch gap between the bottom. Has anyone else had this issue? I think the lining should be at least the same size as the outer portion. I had to rip out and add two inches to make it work. Also, when making the video for future reference please use very distinct colors for lining and the bag and specify how to lay out the fabric (right/wrong side) of fabric when sewing in the zipper. It wasn't entirely clear.
Hi Jane, sorry if it's too fast. We do have the full written instructions here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-tote-bag-with-a-zipper/ Hope this helps!
You do a beautiful job; however, I am color deficient. Unfortunately one in so many million for women. Here I am one of those. The problem I had on the Visual was the muslin and the backing you were using. I could not visually see the difference in color. On top of that I was using an altogether different color so on the lining I had to be very careful in the top or bottom on your lining. I know this sounds confusing but the only answer I can up with is the lining faceup or down as you did on the 2-1/2" strips.
Hi Judith. Could you clarify what step you are having a hard time with and maybe clarify the question a little more? I am going to be checking back so we can help you out here. Sorry for the confusion with the light colors.
@@onlinefabricstore I am color deficient so my lining was blue and yours muslin so I did it completely backwards.!!! Finally I post a note on my fabric the word muslin and then I was fine. Thank you so much for getting back to me

You are awesome 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
great tutorial! I already sewed together my exterior I was hoping to add a zipper, do you think its possible to sew it on my lining ?
Sure, I don't see why not.
Love it and will do it
Great tutorial but I can’t write down the instructions fast enough …is it written anywhere?
Thankd
Yes! You can find our blog post here - www.onlinefabricstore.com/makersmill/how-to-make-a-tote-bag-with-a-zipper/

How do make this with an inner divider? Love this
I would make an extra piece of lining and sandwich it between the other two. Just make sure you do not sew it down when you are adding the zipper.
If I am changing the depth of the bag to be 7" should I change the height of the zipper panels from 2.5" to 3.5"?
Yes, I would!
I don’t understand why lining is 2” shorter than the outer fabric ?
Por favor pasar medidas en metros gracias
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
What model of Brother machine is that and is it semi-industrial?
This is a brother DZ2750, it's not at all industrial. It's actually a super base model machine! We wanted to make sure that any projects we were putting out would be able to be tackled with any old machine.
Very nice tutorial! Can you tell me what # Fleece stabilizer you used?
Oooopps....I just found it! Thank you!
Super...but where we get fabric like you in india
Does OFS still sell that fabric? If so, what is the name of the fabric?
This is the fabric we used - www.onlinefabricstore.com/robert-allen-at-home-amapura-persimmon-fabric-.htm
It's out of stock right now, but if you give our customer service a call they might be able to get an ETA and place an order.

Looks like calico, not muslin

Nice video but you talk to fast so it was confusing to me
You really should have thought about your color choices before you made a video. I can’t follow you’re instructions because the fabric looks the same.
Awesome
