In this step by step video tutorial Vanessa, TheCrafty Gemini, will teach you how to make a boxy zipper pouch that is fully lined and has no raw seams inside! The technique I show you in this video is what I consider to be the easiest way to make a lined boxy zipper pouch. If you are a beginner and follow along with each step you can make this zipper pouch, too!
The finished pouch measures approximately 7.5" x 5" x 3". A great size for storing many smaller items. It also includes two loops for carrying and holding onto when opening or closing the pouch.
This project is beginner friendly and I share lots of tips and tricks throughout so be sure to watch the whole video!

I've tried other methods and have struggled. Your instructions are spot on ! Thanks so much I now have a brilliant pouch that looks like what it's supposed to be . !!
I really appreciate your video tutorial. My 13 y.o. grand daughter wants a make-up bag. I have been
practicing with your guidance. Made the different .sizes. Ready to make hers with waterproof material. Thanks again. FYI I am a 78 y.o.sewing grandpa.😊
Probably the best tutorial I have seen to make a boxy zipper pouch. Very well done
I agree!
I love how you get right to the point and move right along without needless jabber. Awesome tutorial.
Glad you like it!
The best
Vanessa is a teacher, at Uni level, I believe. Trained well and experienced, now teaching us what she loves!
@@TheCraftyGemini thank you! I never tried anything like this before and had a success! My zip was bit short so I extended with a tab and I covered the fabric with vinyl. I put one hook on the end with zip. Looks so good!!
My sentiments exactly! 👏
I’m so glad I found you. After making numerous zipper pouches, I’m not afraid of zipper installation anymore! (I inherited the fear from my mom. 😂)
Your teaching style is the best! You include every detail to make it easy for me to understand and I don’t become frustrated!! Thank you for all you do! Can’t wait to try this. 😊
Thanks for your feedback! Happy sewing!
I've tried different techniques and was never satisfied with the finished look. I followed every instruction exactly ,and the bag came out perfect! Thank you.
Glad to help! Be sure to subscribe and check out the hundreds of other tutorials. :)
I have sewn many of these and also watched many tutorials, but your's is by far the best and clearest! Thank you!
Love your video. I am so disappointed when a project has raw seams so I really appreciate this project. Don’t ever change your presentation. It’s great that your are direct and get right to the project. Your camera angles are perfect clearly showing every step in the project and I especially appreciate how you also specify your stitch length and width and the needle size you are using with camera clearly showing this displayed on your machine. No one else does this. This is huge for me as I am learning how to sew through videos like this and it’s a big help! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy my videos and teaching style. Thanks for your kind words. 🙏🏽❤️
She is a great teacher. I have been sewing for over 40 years but have learned a lot from her.
Just found your channel, lovely and clear, great little make and stash buster!
THIS Is one of the best videos?I've seen! I love your teaching style.I love all the details as everyone else has mentioned.And all those little facts like the stitch length.The needle little tips and tricks along the way!💯🎯💪🎉
You explain things really well. Thanks for keeping it simple
Was going through some of your tutorials for Christmas gift ideas…. Made 3 of these up in no time!!! Your tutorials are the best!!!
I'm so glad!
If you don't have a store bought clapper, borrow any scrap of wood from your husband's wood bin and you have a clapper! Mine is 1x4x10" piece of pine. Don't finish it...the whole purpose of a clapper is the wood absorbs any moisture from the fabric (and steam from the iron) and sets a nice firm crease. 💖🌞🌵😷
I got a chunk of wood and sanded it smooth and shaped it to give me a hold area.
Husband? I had one of those but he didn't have a wood bin. LOL
@@Kakkydidit , mine had a wood bin until l kicked him to the curb and kept the wood bin! Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷
My hubby and I live in a 1 bed apartment. There's no wood to be had here
@@michellequehl3605 , because you need such a small piece of wood, you may get lucky and find a cut off at the back of your home center where they do custom cuts for customers. Try the weekend afternoon when more DIYers are at the stores 💖🌞🌵😷
I have done a few of these box bags. I did a lot with 8 corners. 4 on outer and 4 on lining. After watching this fantastic video I have trialed and using 4 French seams for the corners, starting on the outside. I thought that was what you were about to do after pressing the outside before constructing the corners so I can't take credit. It made for a sturdy seam that added structure to the finished bag without bulk.
I nearly always come back to your videos as they are clear, informative and have so many practical hints and tips.
Thank you
That was the best ever instructions. Thank you so much . I love how these turn out and you made it so simple ❤❤
Thank you so much for this video! It was so clear and helpful. I made a bag for my husband's Christmas present to hold a game we always play. I appreciate you and your work!
Wow, excellent demo! Thank you so much. I've been sewing forever but wouldn't have been able to figure out how to make this pouch without a pattern or some instructions. Your content and approach are absolutely perfect. Clear and easy to understand thanks to your camera angles and narration. Love it!
I am so so so proud of this project! Your teaching style was spot on. You made everything so easy and clear to understand. Thank you so much!
Love the way you say 'pretty side' up/down - just makes so much sense!
I love the way you do your tutorials. Thanks for all your time.
You’re welcome! Happy to help!
Wow! I’ve made these bags for years but have always done the square corner cut outs during construction of the bag. It is fussy and frustrating! Your way of leaving that triangle of fabric for the boxy corners is awesome. It likely helps the bag to stay in the box shape and does not hurt the appearance in any way. Thank you for a better way! Your style of teaching is refreshing and so beneficial to all of us sewers of various skill levels! Pure appreciation from me!!❤❤
Glad to share my tips! It does give the back more structure in that area which is great! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
You are an *excellent* teacher! Straight & to the point, & I like how you mention even the tiny tips that most leave out, assuming you already know every step/method. ⭐️
I've been following you forever and I love all of your videos! Thanks for everything you do!
I have tried other methods and this is by far the best way to make a lined bag! Thanks for all your videos!
Wonderful tutorial! Easy to follow instructions, good videography and no fluff! I’m making four of these for my daughter and her college roommates to hold treats for finals. And I’m going to have to make one for myself too!
Another amazing tutorial. I watched WIP Wednesday and am glad to see this tutorial in time for some weekend sewing
Brilliant tutorial. I love your teaching style and how you explain things in a way that I understand. So much easier than my previous way of making these, which led to frustration and broken needles! I will use this for all my zipper pouches now. Many thanks.

I’m new to sewing and I LOVE your videos!! Maybe because I’m a Gemini too lol but also because your instructions are so clear and concise. Thank you for your content!
I’ve just started to sew and have never made a zipper pouch this almost came out perfect thanks to your wonderful instructions. Thanks so much
You are so welcome!
I have made several of your patterns and you always provide such wonderful directions in your tutorials. thanks for another great pattern!! much appreciated.
Very good tutorial, easy to follow
Amazing tutorial. I have made a few box pouches but this was the simplest tutorial and resulted in the best pouch I have ever made. Thank you ❤
You’re welcome! Glad to hear that.
I love the no raw seams inside! Vanessa, your tutorials are always excellent! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I love your teaching style! Best tutorial I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Love the size, shape, minimal fabric, how the zipper opens so wide, the tabs & Especially No raw seams! These will make great gifts for everyone, thanks Vanessa!
I KNEW this would be fabulous!!! Now, if my zippers would arrive, I can get busy! Thanks, Vanessa, for another adorable project.
Thank you ❤️ I think this was the best tutorial I’ve ever watched!
Outstanding video! I love your presentation style and enjoyed the project. Please keep these coming!
This is the best boxy pouch tutorial I've found, thank you 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you
Loved your style and the size of this pouch is amazing.I love it
I love this method of making a boxy pouch. I made a first one with a craft zipper and wasn't pleased since I sewed too close to the zipper (my fault). I tried another one with a 4.5 zipper. It worked beautifully. I know I'll be making lots of these. Thanks so much for the video.
What's the difference between a craft zipper and a regular (for clothing) one?
This was great 👍
You are the best educator
Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️
What great instructions! I can’t sew, but this makes me want to learn!
Amazing tutorial! I just finished this project and it turned out beautifully. The only thing I skipped was fusible interfacing; I didn’t have any. Instead I used a medium weight canvas for the outer layer and it still has plenty of structure, although it’s a lot softer than yours. Still, it’s going to make for a perfect pencil case for me.
I’m a beginner sewist and was a little intimidated by this project at first, but your instructions were so clear and easy to follow. I was done before I knew it. Thank you!!
I made it! A bit tough as I used batting on one side BUT it worked out! I will post on social media and tag you/Crafty Gemini. You're great! Thanks!
I totally endorse the comments below - sharp, business-like descriptions and perfect video angles. Brilliant.
I love your teaching style😊
love love love love and love - so simple and appreciate all the tips and tricks. you are so admirable with your sewing techniques and preciseness..... i will certainly consider. thank you dear for your inspiration and encouragement ...
Great video, lovely clear commentary, look forward to more soon 😊
Everything she says is important, she doesn’t waste time or words.
Excellent video, thank you!
You’ve done a great job with this video. It’s super easy to follow - I’m looking forward to trying this!
Have fun! It’s a good one!
Thank you for making this so easy to follow! You are an amazing teache!
I love these your pattern sounds so much easier than others 😊
Thank you!
Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, girl I always put my tabs together. You have shown me a new way I know I keep saying it over and over again but I learn something new every time from you thank you and awesome tutorial.
You are so welcome!
Love this ... very good demonstration
Love this new tutorial! Have been looking for exactly this just recently. Thank you so much Vanessa. Have been a follower from way back.
Glad it was helpful!
I love everything about this! No raw seams and no binding!!! Can’t wait to sew some up! Thank you Vanessa for another great tutorial.
I can't wait to start back sewing again....love this....very detailed as always ~ Lynetterene
Making a pouch this way without raw seams or having to finish all the inner seams with binding is GENIUS!!!❤❤ love this tutorial!
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial, thank you. Just made one, turned out very well x😊
Best tutorial I've watched, easy to follow with great camera angles and I didn't have to fast forward to get to the point. Excellent!
I like to take the cut off pieces of zipper tape, (removing the zipper stop bar), and use those as my loop and attach exactly like you did your loops. No extra fabric, stabilizer or sewing if done this way. I use different color zipper scraps to add a pop of color if possible. Nice way to recycle those zipper scraps.

Excellent video. Love this bad
Bag, sorry
Brilliant thanks
I love your videos and teaching style. I love how the raw edges are hidden, unfortunately I will have to try again because my boxes didn’t come out big enough 😂 my bag looks like a baby wipe bag, too shallow😂
Brilliant tutorial, thank you ❤️
Thank you for using millimeters as well.
Thank you for showing normal fingernails instead of the nasty poop scoop vinyls shown by others.

Oh my goodness! I have made a few boxy bags in the past but dreaded thinking about making another one until I saw this video! It’s genius, I made one and it came out perfect! Do you think a thin pliable vinyl would work with this design? Thank you so much for this!!
real good!
Thank you for a great tutorial.It looks east to make. What are the measurements for that one you did?.Loved it.Will make some for some friends for Christmas. Thank you again.
I've always boxed mine during construction, which means 8 corners to box. I like this method, it's easier and faster, and the triangles add stability. I would try tacking them down to the liner so they don't flop. Love the tabs tip to reduce bulk. Also good tip re quilting fabric. Excellent tutorial!
Love your great directions!!
Glad you like them!
Very good presentation
Venessa you always give every details of your sewing tutorial and I love it most .
I like to stitch in the ditch on the outside to get those inside flaps secure.
Hi Vanessa, last Christmas I made so many of these for family and they absolutely loved them, Thank you! I'm wondering if I could make them longer and wider and somehow sew a dividing line in the center to carry my 2 portable hard drives but how would I do the zipper? Maybe I'm just getting too old for this.
New here and loved it! Can’t wait to give it a try!
Absolutely beautifull🤗
I wish some body had told me to expect to do more ironing than sewing 😂 At least to have. Dependable iron. ❤
❤Love your Tutorial. I was wondering 🤔 if I’m using Leather as the Outside fabric, no interfacing can be ironed onto the Leather. Would you suggest in this case to use a stiffer piece of interfacing on the Lining to make the bag has Good structure?
I love that you mentioned ironing a lot. I have made these and things did not line up
Pressing is key!
Wow - a much simpler and neater version than the fiddly boxy pouches I made today! Wish I'd seen this video this morning!!!! 😊
You are an excellent teacher! I wish you could tutor me through my projects. A pouch is such a basic and pretty simple project with to have one that looks professional takes knowing the tricks and the care and precision you show us in this video. The visuals are excellent. I appreciate that they are slower for the first time and you explain why it is necessary to do the step as demonstrated. Then the repeated sides or corner go faster. Excellent. Probably best sewing video I’ve seen.
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Thanks Vanessa! I really appreciate your teaching style. You are straight forward and don't assume your viewers know various terms and techniques. You weave in gentle reminders of terms throughout the presentation but not so that it is off-putting to experienced sewists. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and projects. Debbie in NW FL
Love the boxy pouch. I have 9 of the old style cut out. Number 10 will be the new pattern. 😂
Woot! You may never go back! 🤪
Love this method. Just made it. Your step by step is awesome. Thank you so much. (I quilted my fabric first and made it a bit longer so I can put my curling iron, round brush, comb and hairspray in it for travel.)
love it!
thank you :))
Very nice.
You are so good with instructions. I've watched your tutorial over & over...time causes me to forget. I just click on your channel. I love making pouches, tote bags, mug rugs. You do an excellent job and are so gracious! Thank you
Thank you for this video. This is the first of yours I have seen, I think. You have the gift of being able to clearly and pleasingly explain the steps, which is quite hard to do. Love it!
Great tutorial! Love your style. I'm wondering if I want a particular finished size how much do I add to each dimension?
I have never seen this method with the box corners. I’ve made a bunch of these the hard way. If I could give you a double thumbs up I would. Thank you so much. I’ll make one today.
What kind of fabric is on the outside? It looks thicker. Please let me know so I can make these as Christmas presents.
Why does this boxed bag require a 14 inch zipper and then trim it down? New to sewing, I followed the instructions, did great, but just curious about the zipper.
It makes it easier to topstitch the second edge of the zipper when you have the added length to work with.
I ended up with excess fabric in the lining, meaning it did not lay flat once sewn closed. I followed all the instructions. I am wondering if the lining pieces need to be cut shorter so there is less bulk inside? Please help. I have 9 to make for my neice's bridesmaids.
