Adding a zipper pocket to a bag or purse 

1/27/23: I followed your instructions to the letter today and it was so easy. Now I won't be intimidated by it going forward in other projects that require a zipper pocket. In fact, I think every tote bag or purse I make will have a zipper pocket. Talk about going zipper crazy...LOL! Thank you for sharing this technique. It was fun. 😃

This was incredibly helpful and I have successfully done this four times to date. I wish I had you 25 years ago when I started playing around with sewing!! Thank you for sharing your talent!

I enjoy watching this over and over. Thank you for teaching it in a simple way I can catch on. Will try today with a Crossbody purse. Thank you again.

Every time I need to add a zipper pocket, this is my go to video. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your videos! I watched this one over and over and still had to watch yours, along with another one, WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY DOING IT to actually get it. I still ended up making one of my lining pieces (the one no one would ever see) wrong side out as I was watching he video for the bag with the all white lining so it didn't matter. LOL! But I love how my zippers turned out! My first try! I am saving this one so I can actually see the right and wrong side of my pocket. I made my bag like yours, with fashion fabric for the pocket lining as I thought I had some left over.

Fantastic! It really isn't such a mystery when you break it down like that. Thank you!!

Thanks for this video! I followed your directions and my zipper looks great!!

I always come back to this video for sewing a zipper pocket! thank you so much!

Thank you so much! You are so clear in your instructions!! I am a beginner and I made that today for a bag and it is perfect. Beautiful! Thank you!

What a brilliant tutorial! Thank you so much. I had absolutely no idea how to do this and am so glad I found you before I totally botched it up.

Thank you for such great details. I also appreciate your clarity in speaking.

Awesome! Thank you!! Just ordered that tape and will sew a zippered pocket soon. Thank you again!!

thank you! much more effective than every tutorial on pattern books!

Thank you. This is a simple and very clear tutorial!

That was so, so helpful. Thank you

Very clear instructions thank you. This has helped me with a purse I am making and was struggling with the instructions provided.

Wow, this is a lot simpler than I expected! Thanks!

You make this look so easy and give me confidence to try this on my next bag. Thank you!

FINALLY! Someone who can sew a straight line! The last 3 videos I've watched have been horrid. I am OCD with detail and really like how you are paying attention to the little bits.

Thank you so much! Your instructions are very clear.

Thanks for this, it was super easy to follow and achieved great results 👍🏻

Thanks. I remember your voice from a drapery utube. Yes, move used that too and my drapery’s are beautiful

Great zipper pocket tutorial👍🌹🍀🌺🌿🌻🌴🌷🌳🏵

love this tutorial!

I center the zip in the opening so the metal ends do not show at either end.

Thank you! This is really clear and wonderful. WHAT SCISSORS ARE YOU USING? sorry to shout, but they seem fantastic! and i need new ones anyway. Love to get something that works as well as these do.

Thanks for the tutorial!

I use lining in my bags. Looks here like the interfacing is attached to the outer bag am I correct?

This is great

Are you using a Zipper Foot on the sewing machine or just a regular one?

Isn't it funny how we tend to get all OCD over our craft stuff, such as lining up stripes even though it'll be hidden behind a zip? I do it too, and I'm FAR from being a true OCD sufferer....hoarding yes, but not OCD.

Morning

thank you so much
