It is such a breath of fresh air to watch a video where the procedure is explained so well without extra chatter. THANK YOU! This was great!
Absolutely 💯
Yep, Rosie’s the best!!
Ya..it's easy to understand, even in English, thank you so much.
One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen! The detailed step-by-step without rushing through or speeding up the video is perfect!
I know I’m not the only one who truly LOVES watching your precise and careful sewing techniques. It really shows me that an immaculate finished product does not happen by chance; it is thanks to detailed measuring and planning. It is like meditation for me watching you sew! Thanks for not skipping over a single detail.
Wow...thank you for your very kind comment and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. you love the tutorials. Thanks for watching!
This has got to be one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. You guide the sewer through every detail carefully and precisely. Some of us are having to teach ourselves from scratch and are only able to operate a sewing machine at the minimum level, with many mishaps and seam ripping along the way. It took me a while, stopping and starting your video over and over moving between the computer screen and my sewing machine, but I managed to complete a project without a single hitch. You are a first class teacher. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your very kind comment. I am glad the video was helpful to you. Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤
Oh my heavens, let me echo everybody else’s comments. This is the clearest explanation and demonstration of installing a zipper with tabs that I have come across. THANK YOU.
Rosie, I made these a long time ago from your excellent video, and they came out great! Now I just came back, and I was so rusty that because I didn't pay very close attention to the final sutures around the outside zipper areas (where the interiors and exteriors need to align perfectly), the bags came out a little imperfect. I see how important it is to fully follow what you say. That being said, the point here is that you have EXCELLENT instruction and pay close attention to the important details - not all videos for the same bag do that. Thank you! You are a PRO! Back to making more zipper bags.... but even better this time!!!
This is just a repetition from other commenters but honestly you are a wonderful teacher! The video is shot so that you can easily see all the detail. Your descriptions are clear and concise. Your design is very precise and logical. I learned so many skills that I can apply to other zipper projects. I have been sewing for 62 years and I always love learning new efficient techniques. Thanks so much.
I think you have made the most tidy zipper insertion yet. Love this one!
Wow...thank you for such a sweet compliment and thanks for watching!
This was the best instructor I have seen on zippers. She is a skilled seamstress and an excellent instructor.
Finally, I found the right sewing Instructor and her name is Rosie. I have been dealing for a long time how to sew the zippers nicely and I found your video and I finally learn how to do it. Thank you very much for the nice way to teach in a simple way how to sew zippers. You are an amazing instructor.
Awww… you are so sweet. Thank you for your very kind comments. I am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
I use 1/4" quilters tape to hold the zipper in place so I don't have to have clips or pins in my way. Works great . Thanks for showing us a better way to do zipper tabs. ❤
UA-cam needs to add a "Love" button! Yours is such an excellent method for no dent sides. It is now the method I use all the time. Thank you so much for freely sharing your time and skill. I appreciate you sew much!
Wow...thank you for your very kind comment. I am glad you like the method and thanks for watching!
Laura, you took the words right out of my mouth!!
Finding this video was like finding gold!
Thank you, Rosie for sharing your time and talent!!
I love your videos thank you. I appreciate also that your hands and fingernails look naturally beautiful and you are not wearing ridiculous nail polish or fake nails. What are those people thinking about? I really enjoy your teaching style. I am no longer intimidated by zippers. I have spent years altering patterns into Velcro or buttons because I have been so afraid. Thank you friend😄
This is the best tutorial on zipper tabs - ever. I have been trying to figure this all out and finally got it! Thanks for posting! I’m subscribed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. I am glad this was helpful to you. Thanks for watching!
Excellent clear instructions!!
Totally agree!
I agree with Brenda! I have been trying to master this zipper method. With this tutorial, I’m on my way. Thank you!!
कित्ती कित्ती छान आणि सविस्तर शिकवलं गं मुली,तुझे खूप आभार 🙏
This was the best, concisely explained, and easiest tutorial to follow for making bags with zipper tabs. I just followed along as I made a pretty bag for a dear friend for her birthday. Thanks so much for this great video!
I've now made several pouches in different sizes with your method, and it's SO easy to do and the best finish I've ever had on zipped pouches. I've made SO many over the years and always dread the zipper dents. Thank you for making this tutorial.
If you cut the end of the zipper that has the slider FIRST, and add the tab rather than the closed end, you can't "forget" to make sure the zipper tab is in the middle! This is the BEST tutorial for zipper tabs. I have directed many people here.
Just made my second bag using this technique and have 2 more cut out and ready to go. Rosie you are the master!!
This is by far the best tutorial for sewing a beautiful bag. I have used this in my favourite cosmetic bag design with a boxy bottom and of course it works perfectly! I just love all your tutorials, a professional finish every time! 💕
Hi! Thank you for this beyond fantastic method of doing zipper tabs! No matter how much I tried, I could never get the top stitching on the tabs to look neat. You’ve outdone yourself by eliminating the need to topstitch! I’m off to my sewing room to get creative.
Very well done. I especially like how you pressed the pouch seams open at around 23 minutes.
This is one of the BEST zipper pouch tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you. You are a great instructor. 😊
THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! The gifts that I sew are going to look professional because of you!
😂I concur with the 2previous comments.
It helped to see you topstitch the sides of the zipper and the tabs. In other videos, that rectangle was not shown and it is necessary to leave room to open the seams in order to create the side seams. Thank you.
I'd like to add my thanks to you for this excellent video. I've been making pouches for sale for four years now (my retirement project), and I have struggled with zipper side dents on one particular item. My customers don't seem to care, but I've always been a bit embarrassed by the unprofessional look of dented sides. I saved this video to Pinterest some time ago and got around to looking at it last night. I've watched other videos and followed their instructions carefully, but I have never achieved the result I want. Finally, the method that works! As others have said, I appreciate your clear, precise instructions--with no unnecessary commentary--and great camera work. Thank you, Rosie. You have a new subscriber!
Thankyou. I'm experienced at sewing, but this is so helpful for the fine details for a pencil case!
I give this tutorial 5 stars out of 5. Thank you sew much!!!!!
Wow...thank you and thanks for watching!
This is the best and neatest zipper insertion method I've seen yet - I'll be using it in my next project! Thank you.
This is the best tutorial. I love that you don't have music! I find that SO distracting! I have linked this video to many people who want to learn zipper tabs.
Thank you for having GREAT DICTION when speaking. Plus CLEAR, PRECISE instructions in a SMOOTH SEQUENTIAL ORDER.
This is the best tutorial I have seen so far! I love the idea of topstitching over the tab to close the gap. Thank you!
I very much appreciate your vid on sewing a simple one zippered coin purse. You take us step-by-step slowly and there’s no loud music in the background. A very good demo! TQ
This is a vital video for any type of bad, purse, pouch, wallet, etc. sewing.
Very good tutorial. I have struggled with putting zippers in pouches and getting them to look nice and smooth.
What a FUN, FUN, FUN tutorial! I just spent a very rainy Sunday morning sewing along with you, THANK YOU!!!
Just wanted to thank you for a video that has finally made sense of zipper tabs for me. Your videos are clear and to the point without a lot of chatter. I appreciate that.
So many tutorials on how to do this, but your's is absolutely the best tutorial to follow step by step. Thank you. Eventually, I found someone that shows me exactly how to master this. Greetings from South Africa.
Omg! You have no idea how excited I am right now! I made my first zipper tabs! Your video is so well done and you explain beautifully!!! Thank you so much!❤️
thanks for showing this so clearly, i have been searching for how to create perfect zipper tabs and you're the first one i've found that confirms the there's meant to be a tiny gap between the tab and the edge. Can't wait to try it out! x
Glad it was helpful! Have fun with the technique and thanks for watching!
You are the best. Not only at sewing but your explanations and without all of the extra chatter. Thank You !!!
Thank you so much. I love that you did each step with the camera always on the work and would move your hands so show clearly what you were doing. Merci.!!
I'm totally with Brenda. I've seen many u tube videos, but none of them were so clear and easy to follow like Rosie's 👍👍👍.
I have watched countless videos on "easy sewing projects" and you are by far the BEST. Thank you for making these videos, they are a tremendous help learning. You made zippers not scary!!
Those were amazingly concise directions. This 66 year old newbie thanks you very much!
Fabulous video. Thanks for the time and effort from your side, in terms of careful and diligent planning and execution. You have given precise,complete , step by step instructions,making it easy for newbies like me to follow, without getting overwhelmed. I am into sewing for the last 8 months ,learning and upcycling by watching videos. Your tips like when to back stitch, opening up the seams, moving the zipper pull etc are very, very useful. I sewed my first pouch with zipper tabs today. I appreciate your teaching skills and methodology. Thanks for this generous sharing. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning from you.
Thank you for your verkind comment. I am so glad you are learning from the videos. Thanjs gor watching!
I agree that this is the best video I have ever watched for zippers! You covered all the bases with clear explanations. Thanks,
AGREE. BEST I’ve ever watched!!!! OUTSTANDING!!
I have been making purses for years, and always struggled to get good looking zipper tabs, and fought those dents. Can't wait to try this!
This tutorial is amazing! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the details you've pointed out. Thank you so very much!
Thanks Rosie, like the other 500+ comments, you do an amazing tutorial. I see what I've not seen before, I haven't been pressing the seam allowance open at the tabs, omg what a flat finish.
The first clear explanation I've seen of how to get the zipper in neatly. Thank you.
Thank you for your very kind comment. I am glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
There are no words to describe how brilliant this tutorial is. I watched so many videos and been very disappointed. Your video is a pleasure to watch and your instructions are clear and precise and as someone else mentioned there’s no irritating chatter or music. Thank you so very much for sharing your skills.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - it’s taken me a while to find you, but you’ve changed my sewing life! Bag zips have always been a disappointment to me, however many videos I’ve watched. BUT I’ve just made a perfect little bag using your tutorial. I’ll be eternally grateful. What I haven’t mastered is how to attach a photo to this comment 🤣🤣🤣
I have watched a lot of UA-cam instructional videos over the years. This is perhaps one of the best I have ever seen. I love that you are not overly chatty, but you explain things so simply, and so clearly. Good for you! So glad I found your channel and yes… Of course I have subscribed :-)
Do you know what the length and width of her fabric are for her 6.5 inch zipper?
Thankj you for this video. I have made so many of these in different sizes and shapes with rounded corners, ,boxed corners. The ladies in my family love them and keep asking me for more! Another made this morning!
I’ve been struggling with poor corners and seams at the tab not lay properly. THIS video gave me the exact micro details to improve my problems. Thank you!!
Many thanks for this fantastic tutorial! I will be making several changes to my current techniques, which will definitely improve the finished products. I'm so happy I came across your website.
this the best one I’ve seen so far for the zipper tab technique, clean and precise. thank you for taking time to show us.

I love that you are sewing on the Janome M7 since that is the machine I have. I know that I can use the exact settings and feet that I see you using. It is so helpful...just like all of your videos.
Thank you so much for this tutorial.I just finished it.I am a beginner and the end result is amazing but what matters for me the most is the difficult stitches I had to do with my machine and the fear of the zipper! I am now brave! Thank you again!
Love love love this video!! I learned more from you than most! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this it’s the neatest zip I have ever put in.
Great video! I feel more confident now about sewing zippers.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. One of the best tutorial videos I've watched!
Absolute best video for zipper tabs!!!!
Thanks so much for this clear video. My zippers are going to look so much more professional now! I also like the idea of using the zipper foot to sew the final seams of the outer and lining.
Wow. Your method is so easy to follow. I have a lot of fat quarters that I want to use for projects like this. Thank you so much.
Hello, just a quick note to say 'Thank You'! I have had a lot of nervous reticence (paralyzing anxiety, really...) in creating a pillow case because the only zipper i could find is waaaaaaaaaay too long! (I don't sew that much so, no, I'm not buying a shorter zipper, leaving me with a long zipper I have no use for). Your tips and tricks are incredibly useful ❤
Also, thank you for the "clean" quiet video (no loud annoying music on a repeat cycle), start to finish. A real joy to watch and listen to your instructions. Keep up the great work!
I am glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
Fantastic tutorial thanks!
I love the way that you explained some steps that add to the quality of the finished product. 🌸🌷🌺
Love the way you explained every thing so clearly…thank you. From Queensland…
Hi Rosie, Everyone; I've watched your tutorial several times and keep coming back to the idea of using this on the tiny/small bo pouch. Your thouhts? I love finished details and really like the look of this zipper tab project.
Thank you, once again,for your wonderful tutorials. I love that you speak so clearly and your voice is so pleasant. I especially like the tips you share with your audience.
Thanks so much and kindest regards.
