Just your average mom with a couple hobbies and insights to share. Product reviews, family fun, sewing tutorials and some DIYs with my favorite tween! Far from Martha....IMPERFECT, just like everyone else
Awesome video! I watch so many tutorials. I made my first bag doing it a more complicated way took like 2 hours. Last night came across your video and was like holy cow this was way easier and faster the way you did it. Tried it to tonight took me 30 minutes! Soon I will be getting better to get down to 5-10mins. Amazing video thank you!! ❤
Hi So no topstitching needed? Ive got a directional outer fabric with funny dogs. My biggest fear is always putting it together so the outer fabric lays in correct direction. I have trouble with that. Also, did you stitch close to the zipper with a straight stitch.? And how do you know where u are sewing when you are sewing the 2 pieces together at the top?
Very straighforward instructions.......thank you very much. I will definitely give it a try. I have so many bits of fabric that I have been keeping for something and now I have found the something!
I would have liked to see the finished zipper from the front. I have a tiny bit of space and thought about putting a zipper tab on? I’ve made a few pouches but haven’t in a year or more.you video is great simple and easy just wished I could have seen the finished zipper a bit more closely. Once I make one again it will come back to me. I would like to hide the seem inside but it is a bit more complicated. Thank you for keeping it simple. Nice size bag too!
Ok, always topstitch the outer fabric to the lining before sewing the bag closed. Your zipper will get caught on the lining with opening the bag. And above all, you never cut your zipper with a rotary cutter, it'll get blunt in an instant and those blades are expensive. Use an standard pair of scissors.
Wow you make it so easy. I have seen other videos and this my dear is the easiest I have seen. Thank you I will be doing a Mickey mouse pouch for my son's wipes and do a Minnie mouse bag for me. Also for gifts like you said.
So I am totally spatially challenged. I’ve known this forever but returning to sewing has made me more aware of my visual spatial processing difficulties (like don’t ask me to tell you where something is located based on landmarks cuz I can’t). Anyway, getting the second side done correctly on the other side of the zipper I finally (after taking it apart for the third time realized the zipper needs to be sandwiched in between the outer fabric and lining fabric. I found your channel and you said it!!!!! The key word is sandwich the zipper. No one said that!!! But I took a break, kept thinking about it and thought I have to sandwich this in but I need to double check and watch another tutorial!!! Totally stoked about bag making despite my difficulties😂🥰
I feel like I can relate to you, because I don’t have a lot of money to spend myself. When it comes to the luxury bags and stuffs, i choose @URL: xrepbag.com everytime honestly
Hi Portia, thank you for your comment. It’s not necessary, however, minky is so slippery and heavy that it shifts easily so the more you pin, the better. I can’t remember if I did with this particular one as it was small, but with my full size, I definitely throw a few pins in the middle. Hope that helps
