Not top stitching the lining fabric is such a game changer 😭🥳🥳 I have watched so many tutorials and you’re the first one to do it that way and it’s gonna make auch a difference. thanks!!
Can I ask why it was a game changer? I’ve always top stitched my lining down and before I sew using this tutorial I’d like to know the benefit of not top stitching the liner? I always thought you were supposed to so it doesn’t get caught in the zipper.
Me too. I’ve always thought you’re supposed to too stitch the lining down. Especially for after the pouch is laundered and it’s more difficult to press it the same way you did during construction. 🤔
Tqsm for a very clear detailed explanation. Yes and l realised what l m doing wrong all the while. You made it easy. Definitely subscribing to yr channel
I appreciate your videos. I thank you for pressing the seams open during construction. It amazes me the number of videos (especially in bag making) that never press the seams. And, they don’t seem to realize how much better their product would be with this additional step. But to the trained and experienced eye it is so obvious.
Very good tutorial-very clear instructions. I also love the coordinating fabrics and light purple zipper you used. It is very nice you didn’t have any music during the tutorial, it helps me to focus on your instructions! Thank you! ❤❤❤
This is absolutely the best pouch tutorial with tabs that I have watched!! Thank you, now I see why my tabs go into a point...all others you stitch over them. You have made this pouch look so much better, and really easy to measure the zipper needed!!! Thank you again😍
Yes, I agree , your directions are clear and the reason for the way you do things is clear.. I am so glad I found a person to explain zipper size no matter what size pouch!!!!
I had been searching for 2 days for a tutorial showing how to do tabs..I didn't know the measurements and this gave me what i wanted..Thanks you so very much.
Thank you for your video. I'v been making pouches for the last three years, but I had to put together pieces from different videos to have a sort of complete instructions scheme. In your tutorials there is every single step you need to make a nice and neat work, very well explained in a correct time. I also love the style of the fabrics you use ! Elena , Italy
Thank you for the excellent explanation of zipper tabs! I love that you showed the whole construction of your pouch. It was so enjoyable! I have a few of your patterns and I love them! Your Devon pouch was my very first pouch I ever made and it was 100% successful - I sweated and worried it would not work but it was perfect! You gave me so much confidence to tackle even bigger and better projects. Blessings to you!
The BEST tutorial for neat zipper tabs EVER !! Thank you. Very well explained and your video content is easy to see what you are doing at every point of the process. So many craft/sewing tutorials waffle on and on before getting to the point. Your method was easy to follow along and the game changer for me was lining up the tabs a seam allowance width away from the side seams. My pouch with zipper tabs turned out even better than I had hoped. Thank you for sharing.
The very best tutorial ever! I have looked through so many of these "lessons" and I am so happy to have found one that clearly shows how to include gussets. Thank you so much!
Thank you for several pointers which will improve my zippered bags. For me, the most useful was not having the tabs go all the way to the sides. So that's how things get nice and squared up! Also, I acknowledge the nudge to press between steps, something I have been skipping (out of convenience or, I admit, laziness).
Thank you for the well illustrated and very clear instructions. The tips for installing zips and for making the lined, boxed corner pouches are extremely useful. I look forward to seeing more project demonstrations. 🙂
Finally I got it. Took me 3 tries, but I got it. Thank you Svetlana. I've watched almost all your videos, several times. You give the instructions exactly how my train of thought works, reminding me of the seam allowance and whether to backstitch or not. I also love all your fabric and color choices. I've just ordered some snaps and grommets to add to my bag making arsenal. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to many more of your videos. Hello from the northwest coast of BC Canada!!!
You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for the great tutorial. Things don't come quite as easily as they once did, and I really appreciate your detailed explanations! I was able to complete a zippered pouch with a zipper that I could be proud of! Thank you so much! I will be purchasing your book!!
Wonderful video. Your instructions are very clear and thorough. I’ve watched other videos on line but your video has given me the confidence to give it a go. Thanks so much.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial, I was battling to get my zipper ends correct and now I know how to sew them correctly.. Thank you,. Love watching you make your pouches. 😁
Another excellent tutorial. I have tried adding zipper tabs but never seemed to work without loads of bulk! This looks so much better. Thank you x Lilian from England
🌸💐🌺 This was an amazing tutorial! I love how clear you are with every step. It’s so clear to understand and I thank you for this. You definitely are a great teacher! 💐🌺🌸
Thank you so much! I just tried this and it made my bag so much nicer! I usually topstitch the lining to the top and zipper and the corners and are always funky. This is so much better!
What size thread do you use on your Juki? I have the same machine as you and having a hard time finding thread that works for bags. Your tutorials are very detailed as nd instructive. Thank you
I’m a bit lost on this part…so you should be stitching around the tabs? Toward the edge of the pouch? This is why the width of the pouch is not the same as the length of the zipper?
Romasterflex your seam allowance should be such that you stitch right next to where the tabs end. You can make the seam allowance a bit smaller right there so you don't stitch over the tab.
Ahhhh I think I get it now! I’m glad I came across these comments! I have a pouch all cut out and ready to go, and I am going to try this process again and hopefully not have all that bulk to deal with around my zipper tabs!
Thank you for sharing your sewing video.. i am searching video for sewing zipper like pro... This is the great video that I have ever searched... May Alla'h bless you gives.
Thanks for providing such clear instructions! I’m glad this video/your channel was recommended by UA-cam. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos.
This video sure makes adding fabric tabs to a zipper look so nice and neat. Beautiful fabrics too. Also, really enjoy sewing up your patterns. Thank you :-)
Thanks for another great tutorial! This is something I always seem to have trouble with. I’ll certainly being using this tutorial for reference next time I’m sewing pouches 😊
I just now found you on UA-cam….I am so glad I did! I love your teaching style. Clear instructions. Thank you! I probably will be buying some of your patterns. 💗
Beautiful. I've been struggling with getting the tops of my pouches neat. The fabric always ends up sucked in because I sew over an untabbed zip. I think I will use tabs from now on. Thank you
I cannot believe that I am putting up with tacky, dirty, worn out makeup pouches, because you make it look so easy. I need to get a couple of these made up!
Thank you so much! I purchased a tutorial for almost the exact same pouch, and the instructions were not clear at all and I was very disappointed with the result:( Your video makes it SO much clearer, wish I'd found this earlier!
Svetlana is my favourite sewing tutor ❤ so well explained and her videos are amazing. I love her accent!
I am so glad that I found this lady. She is amazing has such a gentle and friendly manner about her.She explains so beautifully. Thank you for this

@@AprilNY100I’m wondering about that too
Me too. I’ve always thought you’re supposed to too stitch the lining down. Especially for after the pouch is laundered and it’s more difficult to press it the same way you did during construction. 🤔
I was thinking the same thing, but now I can see that everything lines up better when the lining isn't included in that topstitching!
Poderia mandar explicação como traduzir para o Português .

Glad it was helpful!
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to work out how to get tidy. Thank you
I LOVE the straight edges so many tutorials have shapes like trapezoids at the top

What size thread do you use on your Juki? I have the same machine as you and having a hard time finding thread that works for bags. Your tutorials are very detailed as nd instructive. Thank you
