- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This is part two of my three part series of making this 3 zipper pocket sweet little bag. The tricky part of this bag was trying to figure out the side pieces...the more I made the Better I became! This is NOT a beginner beginner project, but if each step is followed carefully, a confident beginner can do it! Stay tuned for Part three when I install the zipper and final binding.

Thanks Jean, babble away. My husband passed away a few weeks ago and these small projects and your cheerful chatter have helped keep my spirits up.
Oh Becky! I'm so so sorry! Things will never be quite the same for you, I am sure!! How sad you must be. Sending hugs!
Thank you.
I'm sorry for your loss. Hugs and cheers to you as you sew along.
My condolences to you Becky B.
Thank you so much, for all your videos, love your teaching, very precise. Great for beginners.. Babble on!!!
Thank you so much Gwen:)
Jean you may BABBLE but you cover all my questions and questions I didn't know I had. 🤣🤣🤣
LOL! So my babbling does SOME good:)
Babbling is good! It’s part of the reason I follow you!
Oh my word! Then you WILL like me!! :) LOL!
I love love love these bags. Can't wait to make one. I am going to replace pocket with pincushion and keep my pep supplies in it to travel with thank you so much for all your time and teaching. You are so blessed...... But I'm sure you already know
Great idea!! And thank you very much:)
Babble away! I could hang out with you all day long! I've made a similar bag and spent a good part of my day making a bag like this. You've made it sound so much easier. I'm going to try making a bag again. They are so much fun to make.
Sounds great Millie! You can do it;)
To eliminate the bulk between the pocket near the zipper is an easy fix.
In between each pocket Mark the center. On either side of that line mark a little less quarter of an inch then you take those two lines to bring them together and sew a pleat about 3/4 of an inch tall away from the zipper.
Thank You I enjoy your tutorials. You provide so much help. I always find myself killing my sons to look at what he's doing first to see if there's an easier way. I make sure to tell him to work smarter not harder. This is one of the things I enjoy about you and your tutorials. ie. Your bias tape binding I actually have used that method on a few items thank you. I appreciate your time.
Thank you Ebony! Where were you when I needed you?!? LOL!
Love the larger size!
Thanks Maria:)
I appreciate the lovely tutorial!! 🤍
I enjoy your teaching!
Thank you!
I am making one as we speak!!!
Thanks again ☺️
Wonderful Tina! Thank you so much for taking time to watch me:)
Jean these bags as sooo cute. I will be making one. Thanks for sharing.💖💖💖
You are so welcome Libby:)
Thank you Jean you are a great creator in your sewing and when you make a mistake we get to see you rectify it.
Love this bag 💕💕👏👏👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you so much Jenny! Thanks for watching me:)
Man I love those Jean!!!
Thank you Gail:)
Hi Jean! I love listening to you “babble” and I have been wanting to make a bag like this!! You teach us like we are your friends in your sewing room. It’s wonderful!!! Thank you, Thank you!!
Thank you so much Sandi:)
Uh oh, Jean, your bags are like rabbits, they’re multiplying exponentially! 😂 Like your striped binding, so striking.
I know!! They are addictive:)
I wish we lived closer. Head liner foam...” it was cheap. I bought a lot of it! LOL
LOL! The things I say! :)
Hello from Bahrain I love watching your videos . My passion is sewing and it’s become my source of comfort. I lost my job ( I am a teacher) so stress levels are high but I am tearing to go to make your lovely bag. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
Thank you Drena! The whole state of the world is very stressful for everybody! I hope things settle down for you and get back to more of an even keel soon. Such a worry! I hope you love making this bag ~ I have made MANY and find them addictive:) All the best and thanks again:)
Hugs to you from Oregon, USA. Hang in there. With a sewing machine we'll all be fine when this covid stuff is over.
Jean, you crack me up "what are people?" I am wondering that these days too. Haha!! Love your outfit, so pretty!
Right?! People...hmmmmmmmmmm! Thanks so much! I clean up now and then!
I love your videos. I'm sick now but I might try it latter. Thanks for all you do and putting so much into it.
Oh I do hope you will start feeling better! It is beautiful and sunny and hot here...the same where you are? If so, its a crime to be ill on such a lovely day!! LOL! Take care and thank you for your kind words!! :)
Yes, Jean. They are top London Store and always on the look out for something different and fab. Good Luck x
I need lots of these, I'm organizer geek and these will help with those weird things that don't go on boxes or bags. Thank you Jean ♥️♥️♥️
I'm so glad!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing the whole journey with us, foibles and all. So accessible!
Glad you enjoyed it Mary! Foibles and All! LOL!
Love your fabric that you choose for your bags and your tutorial was very informative, can't wait for part 3. Continue to stay safe both you and your family
Thank you! Will do Rosetta! And you also!:)
I love this pouch and have made a few now for presents which have been well recieved. I however made a boo boo with mine and put the side pieces on upside down. I wondered why it was harder to do than the way you did yours lol. However I dont have the puckers in between the inner zipper bags. The second one I did the way you have and tbh they both work. Another great tutorial and I really like the way you "babble" as it makes it more fun and adds the human side to a tutorial. Thanks Jean from Michelle in Toowoomba Queensland, Australia.
I'm learning as I go and the more I make! Perhaps at about 1000 bags, I'll get it right! :) Thanks so much Michelle:)
I'm not a fan of red or stripes, but that red bag with the hearts is so cute! Love it. I am definitely going to make some of these. Great tutorial Jean. And I love that you used so many different fabrics in one bag. So pretty. Can't wait to try this!!!!
Go for it! And thanks:)
Love it❤️❤️❤️
I’m trying to sew one of these bags. Sure do appreciate your tutorial.
Also, love your color choices and colorful bags. One is lovelier than another. I like seeing all of the cute bags.
Thank you so much Karen:) I appreciate that;)
Just beautiful Jean thanks so much 💐
You are so welcome Vivienne:)
Hi Jean, Love your pocket bag. Keep up the great teaching skills. It"s nice for us beginners. Stay safe
Thank you! You too Carol:)
Hi jean ...was missing you...you look beautiful today .
Thank you so much Christine:)
Jean, that's my favorite fabric. I made a bag and gave it as a gift. I can't find that doggy print fabric again. So cute. And yes. I have ordered headliner. It never got to me because of the pandemic. bummer.
Thanks Terie! I got the fabric from Walmart! But now the fabric departments are bare!!
@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory thank you. I search for it and couldn't find it in stock. I bought the fleece version but that's only good for PJS or blankets. I will keep looking. P.S. I finished the purse with you. Not too bad.
I need to do this. Also, during my live this past Friday, someone joined and told me I talked too much. Probably not the best response, but i said they could turn the volume down or leave. Same advice here. If folks don’t want to hear, they can skip ahead. ;)
I don't get people. There are SO many blogs, tutorials, videos out there, appealing to all sorts of different folks. If one or the other doesn't necessarily appeal to me, it takes me about a nano second to keep on scrolling and looking elsewhere. Never in my wildest dreams, would I ever take the time or energy to actually make a negative comment or berate that person's style! Perhaps because we are nice people Becca!! LOL! Some just aren't!! Sad...
Jean Truelove I agree 💯 I too could never put someone down or say something bad that’s just not me I was raised right .
Ahh well. Seriously, scroll on by. If someone is rambling but you still want to watch, skip ahead a bit. Personally, spending A LOT of time going over something that I don’t understand allows my mind to digest what the heck i need to do. I appreciate your style, Jean! And so do more than 30,000 other people!
Love it!!!! Thanks yes
So glad! THanks Bella:)
Awesome as usual
Thank you so much 😀
I love this bag I need pattern so I can make one Great job
Thank you! 😊The 'pattern' is watching the video! No written pattern available for the ones I made, sorry
Jean....The Zipper tabs are the same that you put on the end zipper🥰
I just figured that out!!!! LOL!
We are from South Africa.... Thanks, you made it easy to understand. Maybe a upholster zipper could work with two slides to the outside. It's also heavy duty......
Thanks for watching Erika! I'll look that zipper up! Thanks:)
I’m excited to try this. On your 3rd part, could you write out the cutting sizes at the beginning for the larger one like you did for Part 1? That would be helpful to prep all the pieces ahead of time as I sew following along the tutorial. Thank you for all you do and for your delightful personality which brightens each day I watch you. Blessings!
Thanks Brenda! I'm working on that;)
how about a smaller one more equivilant to wallet size..and yes you do babble. i just ff the video..i really do like what you make. your a very good teacher.
Noted! I've got to get busy:)
I actually love 😍 the bags made out of lots of fun bright colors 👍🏼 I love the big bags you are making now 😍 the only thing you said they’re not closed on the ends . I’m going to make one for my sewing 🧵 and quilting stuff do you think that stuff will fall out of it? I’m also going to make one of m 18 year old granddaughter for her makeup 💄 and I will also make one for my daughter she doesn’t wear makeup 💄 so I’ll ask her 1st if she could use it . You said that people say you talk too much I don’t agree I enjoy it because it’s like sitting down and talking to a friend. I do have to say I really like how you explain things it’s easy to follow 👍🏼. Jean can you please show us how to make the bigger bag you just made ♥️
The smaller ones your things will absolutely not fall out. I'm working on the larger ones to try and get the side flaps taller so they too, are completely enclosed. Thanks so much for watching! Our daughter Melea (25) loves these bags! I think your granddaughter would too!:)
Jean Truelove I think I will wait until you figure out out to in close the bigger bag because I really like that one for all my stuff 👍🏼 but I for sure want to make the smaller bag for a Christmas 🎄 gift 🎁 for my granddaughter ♥️ I love watching your videos and all those awesome things you make 😍
Hi Jean, If you make a taller fan on the sides then things won’t fall out!🥰
On my last bag, the blue starry night fabric one, I did just that! :)
Oh my word... I love these bags... i can’t wait to make my own... thank you soo much for your videos... they are SOO helpful & you make easy to understand!🥰... is there anyway I can get measurements on the big ones you’ve been making & the added slip pocket... (teapot one.. red/white stripe one)... looking forward to hearing back from you soon! Thank you again! 😊
Glad you like them! I am working on making a bigger one and it's measurements
These ought to be in a store, Jean, like Liberty in London. Why don't you send them a few pics. You could bring in little mirror for the inside square pocket. They are just great
Thanks so much Jed! Such a compliment! I might just do that!:)
I really like your bags... have you ever wanted to make a pattern for people to download.?
Thanks Victoria:) I cannot fathom where to begin in actually MAKING a pattern!! That is a whole 'nother animal!! Thanks though for watching me:)
So if I mark the side pieces then The pleats won't be there? I think I got lost somewhere along the way. I guess I'm going to buy my zippers and see if it makes sense as I'm sewing it. Thank you for this tutorial cuz honestly I wouldn't even attempt this without it.
Marking the side bits at the half way fold, and then 2 1/2" in each side from that marking, will give you the wrap around needed to go around the raw edged pockets. Hope this helps:)
love you and the bags also do you make any of your clothes
Thanks Virginia! I USED to make many of my clothes, not so much anymore:)
Jean do you ever find that your fabric (on the shelves behind you) fades along the folds facing outwards? 25 yrs ago I sadly learnt that I can't display my fabric like that. It has to be behind closed doors.
I have been displaying my fabrics on shelving like this for about 15 years now. No fading, but I attribute that to a solar control/uv ray protection window film that my husband has installed on the windows in this sewing studio and in my last one. If we didn't have it, yes, the suns' rays could bleach out my fabric Big Time!!
Just out of interest isnt this the Sew Demented pattern called the Sew Together bag????🤔
Yes, although I didn't buy the pattern so it's not exactly. I tried to figure out also how to make it larger which I'm pleased worked out!
Jean. I agree with you and prefer it a bit larger, but I have a question. Couldn't you increase the size of the inside zipper pockets to add some space in the zipper pouch as long as you are making the outside larger? (as long as your experimenting)
Good idea! I'm on about my 10th one (LOL!) and I've made the SIDE pieces taller...so it (Sortof) is a bit more enclosed, but making the pockets taller also...hmmmmmmmmm!! :)
part 3 is not showing up am so disappointed
I've just posted Part 2. I will post Part 3 later on. I'm still editing that part!
My favorite is red so the one withe the hearts on goes to Belgium....you can keep the grey one LOL
on the other side... I like bouth so......hahahahahahahaha
We love our red:)
Isn't this the sew together bag by sew demented?
Almost. I figured it out larger, I didn't use a pattern and just made it up from other videos I've watched. I think the sides of the pattern one are completely different.
Hi are you sale i love the bag
No, sorry I'm not selling them. Thanks however, for watching me;)
English paper piecing. Sorry
Got it:) LOL!
what size is the big one
My largest I've made is 10" wide by 6 inches high. It is the blue 'starry night' fabric one. I keep experimenting with different sizes...I quite like this one;)
Keep babbling. Thank you
Always!
