Fully Lined Boxy Pouch Tutorial 

I love your way of doing the box pouch

I stumbled across a process that will eliminate having to go back eight times to reinforce the seams where you cut the square out to make the boxed corners! When I am sewing the eight seams, while the piece is on the machine, I take a tape measure...(for large bag), I measure up 2 inches from the folded edge, mark that spot and do a quick back stitch at the spot where I will be cutting out the 2 inch square! This way, already reinforced and no having to go back 8 more times to reinforce! WOO HOO!!! (my brain was actually working yesterday....lol lol)

Thank you for breaking it down and providing the tips, I have really struggled with elastic !

You are the best person I have seen explaining on how to make boxy pouches. Thank you so much!!! Great choice of colts also👍.

I just followed your great tutorial to make a Disney themed boxy pouch. It was my first time putting on two zipper pulls. I'm very happy with how my pouch turned out. Your instructions are fantastic! Thank you for this informative tutorial.

Love your tutorials could watch them all day your the best xx

The BEST directions for the boxy bag THANK YOU 😊 👏

I’ve been looking at so many videos and this is the ONLY one that explained it perfectly! I finally got it!!!!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are an amazing am teacher! I made this only because you explained it so well. Thank you so much ❤

Thank you so very, very much!! This was an absolutely outstanding video/tutorial. You were very easy to follow and my bag came out as I had hoped!

Loved your video tutorial!! This is the first one I've seen that actually explains every step clearly - especially how (and where) to add a strap instead of a tab. This was confusing me until I saw your video. You answered all my questions at once! I also appreciate no loud background music and unnecessary chatter - you stick to the subject. Great camera work! Thank you!!

I really appreciate the follow along tutorial! It was very helpful. Also, I personally liked that you excluded showing us how you use your sewing machine. It helps make the video shorter and keeps to the point: how to make the bag. 👍

Brilliant instructions, my granddaughter will love it.

Thank you for demonstrating both tabs and handles.

Thank you for a great tutorial, I love that you don’t over explain, that drives me mad!!

I always come back to your video. Thanks!

Thank you Jessica for the best tutorial ever! I love your style of teaching..so clear and precise instructions. I hope to see many more of your videos.

Thank you Jessica for a great tutorial. I was looking everywhere for a pouch. You made it look easy.You explained everything really well. Thank you again for the video.

I’m going to go ahead and thank you for going ahead and making this tutorial for us. Thanks! Well done. Go ahead and take a bow.

Great video! Thanks for the zipper pull tips - much appreciated. I can't wait to make one of these!

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been looking for this exact style for so long. Very helpful

I just love the way you explain things! Thank you.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

Love this video. Your instructions are prefect easy to understand. Great job!

I like the way you explained each step throughly. Wish I had seen this video about 5 box bags ago. From here on out my bags will be easier since I have your video saved. Thank you so much.

I love this bag. thanks for a great tutorial.

Jessica - you are a great teacher. I ordered cork from your store and I'm excited to make these!

Thanks so much. Love that explanations are clear and you do not over complicate !

Brilliant explanation and tutorial. Made one last night and got an order from another member of family to make them one. Thank you

Awesome tutorial! Thank you!

Great tut. I’m making one right now! Thanks so much for sharing🥰

Love this tutorial can’t wait to try it out!

I've just found your site -- I love working with cork, so glad I found you!

Thank you so much for this, the most easiest way I have seen so far, thank you !!

The best tutorial for a boxy bag I have ever seen!

Thank you for making such a clear video of this! And in helping me understand, so now I can make on with a handle for my grandson. Bless you!

Such a clear explanation. And great camera work. What a beautiful bag you made. Inspirational. I'm going to start sewing a boxy pouch now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. That cork is gorgeous, and I see that it's on your website.

For me, it's very well done and explained. Thank you👌👌👊

Great tutorial! Probably the best one I have seen for making box pouches. Thanks for sharing. 😊

I am new to your site and you do an excellent tutorial. thanks so much for all the detail!!

I have made three of these for gifts. This video is very good. I am very picky about directions and I found this video one of the best I have seen. When assembling the first bag I could not visualize how the steps for the ends would get me to the desired end result. What a pleasant surprise when I turned the bag right side out and saw how it all came together very neatly. One recipient of my bag thought I was gifting them a Vera Bradley bag and was amazed to learn I had made it myself. Thank you for the video.

This is the coolest and easiest way I’ve seen anyone do the corners. Thank you for simplicity.

Love, love, love your tutoirial!! I thought this was going to be so hard, but it was just he opposite! Thank you so much for making this so easy! Aloha!!!

Thank you for this excellent boxy bag, I want to make hubby a Dopp kit for Valentines Day.

This tutorial was so helpful! I used it to make one for my sister and it turned out so well. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This tutorial is AMAZINGLY easy to follow and the "Daddy and Me", matching bags I made as my first project came out PERFECT!!!!! I am SEW happy. Thank you!

This is a great tutorial. Also thanks for making it clear about top stitching the lining too since generally we don’t do that but it makes sense since there are no corners by the zipper like there is with a regular zippered pouch.

I love that you actually talk!! So many use music and i hate it!

Super cute!!!!! you’re so detailed in your explanation! I’ve made other boxes pouches, but it was never explained very well on how to measure the corners so the corners always came out weird or didn’t match up with the lining fabric. So thank you! I’ll be making this as a Christmas present! ❤️

I just Wish I could show you the one I JUST made. I LUV this. Avian thank you

This tutorial is amazing. I found it way easier than reading the kwik sew pattern and I like that you cut the corners later instead of in the beginning. Ty

Thank you so much for your very clear tutorial. I followed everything to slightest detail and then I turned it right side out and it was like magic! Everything was in place.... perfect!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. I am a beginner and have tried a few tutorials and your by far is the most informative and the end product looks great!! Looking to search more of your tutorials online. Truly appreciated!

Loved your tutorial. I'm having trouble making my tabs look nice.

Really enjoyed your tutorial thankyou

this is THE BEST tut for a boxy bag... im on my 4th bag lol 2-small, 1-med, 1-lg... im incorporating fabric with my leather projects... so far so good... tyfs

Thank you for this tutorial. This is the best one for hiding all the raw edges, and it's really not difficult at all. At first it seemed like it would be confusing or difficult, but reviewing the video a second time made it all fall into place. It was actually easier than others I've tried.

Thank you for size chart and fabulous tutorial.....I love the cork....I've never used city before, but I think I'm going to try.....❤

very easy tutorial to follow! i appreciated the link to the measurements and the explanation of adding a handle even though it wasnt used on the bag shown.

I made a bag. I think I did ok for my first try. Thank you for sharing.

omg i have been struggling so much with the zippers. you have made it so much simpler. i mean suddenly it all makes sense and with your technique i no longer have any issues installing zippers. thank you so much. i was getting so frustrated and discouraged. you are awesome

Thanks, for making it clear that the measurement for cutting the corners starts at the sam you have just sewed. I wondered if I was doing it right! Lovely cork Dopp bags I like the double pulls.

I use a common handheld office stapler for some of the moves depicted, such as when setting in end tabs onto the zipper areas or for setting in the handles and also for setting the boxy corners for sewing. Staples are less likely to move vs. plastic clips and are easily sewn around and removed after.

I just made my very first boxy pouch today. Your tutorial was great. I was very nervous but it turned out nice. Thank you.

wow, love the bag you made. I just made one following your instructions and you did a great job. I used faux alligator fabric and blue flower cotton for inside, and it turned out pretty good for my first one, but there will be more. Again, thanks for teaching me, I appreciate you!

I have made two of these this month (November 2022), one for my son-in-law and the other for myself. Your tutorial is detailed and I appreciate you reinforcing instructions that you intuitively know may be a little tricky for a novice. Thank you very much! I had a lot of fun making this!

Perfect, perfect, perfect construction method! There are a lot of other ways to construct boxy pouches with perfect neat lining--but with fussier sewing and results not as neat. You've done an amazing job here! Thx!!!

The way that you explain things is so logical and easy to understand as we can visually see you emphasise important areas and points...your tips too are fantastic..so useful in other projects too! Last but not least...your voice is perfect for this! You're a natural born teacher..so pleased to have found you! Thanks, Lindy

great clear instructions. :)

I just started sewing last week and followed this video and the bag came out perfect!!! Thank you so much !

Great explanation

Awesome tutorial!! Love the finished bag. Wish you had shown one with the handles too. I am going to make this today!!

Just made my first zipper box pouch. Thanks to your excellent tutorial it went so well. I love these and am getting started on Christmas 🤶 gifts 👏👏

I just found you. So glad I did love your instructions & the way you do yours, some of the others I've watched looked very confusing. I'm gonna check out your site now & see what I can buy lol. Thank you

This video is amazing! Beautifully done!

You are an excellent teacher! I have watched a number of these tutorials and yours is truly the best tutorial I have seen. Your details are excellent. You show everything in a good manner that is easy to see and understand. Thank you very much! I think you were born to teach!

Thanks for a great tutorial. I’m going to make this in Harris tweed for my husband. The fabric is left over from a waistcoat I made him.

Thank you so much for this video! I tried on 3 separate occasions to make a bag like this for my 9 year old grandson...FAILED! But with your tutorial, I finally succeeded.

As someone who loves to see, but is still quite young amongst other sewers, this tutorial is really helpful! Thank you so much!

Love it I'm going to be making one in Feb for my bf to take w him when get his brother in Mt will also make a duffle bag to few others as belated Christmas gifts

❤Ola! Estou iniciando nessas perfeições. Adorei achar você. Não sei inglês :( mas compreendi sua aula facilmente :) Muito obrigada por explicar tao bem! E adorei as estampas que você usou!

Si le modèle est simple les finitions sont impeccables et les matériaux luxueux, très joli résultat. Merci !

thank you so much❤️

Thank you so much!!!!!!

This is an amazing bag and the tutorial is awesome! Thank you so much!

Thank you so very much for the free measurement pdf. I hope you don't mind a suggestion.😊 You may want to add your RU-vid name on your pdf. It helped me to refer back to your video tutorial after I wrote it on my copy. It may help others to remember what tutorial the copy came from. Thank you for an awesome tutorial. Have a great day!

LOVE this tutorial - and LOVE the bracelets you’re wearing when you’re wearing the teal sweatshirt!! Where are they from?? 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️

These are going to be awesome! Thank you so very much for investing the time into making this available for the rest of us. On the printed page, you state "feel free to experiment with different sizes." I'm having trouble visualizing these changes, or I've missed you explanation on how to convert for custom sizes. Could you help explain the formula? I'm needing to make a pick that is 10" long x 8" wide x 6" high finished sizes. Thank you so much for your help!

You're a great instructor.

This is the BEST video yet that I’ve watched on how to make these and I’ve been watching a lot this week..I’m making one for my husband for Christmas…You are so good at teaching and I understood every step….thank you very much

Thank you for the video. What is the panel measurements for the bag?

I liked your video and everything was going well until I got to the box corners. I sewed the Outta corners 1st and it was very hard to saw the lining corners and I could not even get it under the machine right to sew them. So maybe you can tell me what I was doing wrong? It was very difficult to get the corner soon together.

Thanks for the video! For the handle strap, what size would you use for the medium and small? Thanks! 😊

Very intelligent.

I’m going to make one for a friend expecting. I’m intending it for cloth diapers, do you think the large size will be big enough?

Wow Jessica. Thank you for this video. I am a visual learner. Would you need to interface if the lining was waterproof canvas?

Hi, What would the corner measurements be if I wanted to cut this bag 15x22 ? Thank-you, Linda

Can you tell me if I'm making the handle rather than the tabs, which side of the handle is placed up as I'm placing it in the boxed corner? Will the correct side to the handle be placed inside the bag, right side up? I'd like the top of the handle to be showing rather than the bottom. Thank you.

OMG - where can I get that lining fabric?? It's so cute.

Hi love this tutorial for the fully lined boxy pouch. However where do I find the measurements please.? Thanks. Alison
