Placemat Box Zippered Pouch 

What a great idea, a quilted placemat! And already lined. I love this idea. Thanks for the great tutorial.

I get together with 3 high school friends every year and make little gifts for each. This year I’ll make these little bags and fill them with a few other little things. Love this project.

You’re the first person that I’ve seen demonstrating corners that does it the way I do. I learned the square technique almost 20 years ago and love using it! Thanks for the quick and easy video!

Just made one of these using your directions. Turned out great! Thanks for the instructions!

What an absolutely beautiful fabric.💗💗💗

I’ve made several of these, but followed Lorrie Nunmaker’s tutorial. Love them.

Never thought of trying a placemat like that, I like that a lot. I made gauge blocks a couple years ago for making bags like this, cut the squares out from ice cream bucket lids, I made some .75" all the way to 3.5" for fast work with some tailor's chalk for marking these squares quickly and accurately to cut back from the seam allowance lines.

Great idea. I love the fabric on outside.

Love the print. Beautiful bag.

I loved it and already made one! Great instructions! Thank you!

Pretty stinking cute, indeed. Very good tutorial and a great idea for using placemats.

And this one is so easy since it's already quilted and lined!!! Sure wish I could find more of those black placemats.

This is wonderf!!! U did such a great job!!

Thank you for the easy instructions. I just completed multiple bags to give my coworkers as a gift

How creative. Adorable little usable bag. Thank you for sharing ❤️

I love this idea!!! Thanks.

I love this! I have several pouches to make for Christmas presents.

watched your video and now I can't wait to make some bags. Thanks

Love this!!

This looks great and super simple. I’m going to try one tmrw.

Thank You! I know this tutorial is older, but I made one last night following another ladies tutorial and because I am HUGE beginner to anything sewing, when she failed to mention (or i didnt hear) that I needed to open the zipper before stitching the sides, Imagine my surprise when I sewed the bag clean shut. Haha! I had to rip the seams to open the zipper to turn. My zipper is really wonky too, she didnt pin her zipper but I should have!! I appreciate those details you added to your video. I’m off to try, try again!

beautiful finishing .thank you for the video.

Really pretty and nice size

Wow, I want to try this looks so easy

I've been doing this for several years! I started with placemats but it's a little difficult to find the double sided ones that are more heavy duty than single sided ones! I also find that purchasing a yard and a half of double sided quilted fabric you can get 4 place mats for less than 4 place mats! I also like to make my bags a little larger at times so I sometimes can only get 3 bags out of a yard and a half! These are so fun to make! I have made them for all if my friends & they love them! They work vest if double sided! I also measure my bags from the fabric & add 2 to 4 inches wider for some of my friends that wanted larger bags. I measure & then cut them in half! It makes it so much easier to put in the zipper & with a overlooking machine they come out very nice & neatly made! Plus it makes the zipper installation look very professional! I even put pockets on the inside of some of the bags I make & it's easier to do when cut in half then stitched on the overlocking machine gives it a nice finish! I always like to add things to my projects like inside & out side pockets & inside dividers! They sell well when there is a variety!

❤ thank you, it looks easy and cute. Great gifts

The bag is adorable

Loved this tutorial, Thank You

Looks easy. I will try this.

Well done , great job 😍thank you for sharing very helpful easy 😊

Saw this video earlier in the week. Went to Home Goods and found a 4pk of Martha Stewart placements on sale for $10, found a couple zippers in my stash… and made this bag. Too cute and super easy. Your instructions were very good. I like cutting out the corners …. Much easier to manuever and sew! I may be making these to sell. Wow. Thanks again.

It is very beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Super Cute!👍🏾

You’re right, that is so stinking cute.

The square corners guarantee they will all be perfect. Thanks so much. I have never subscribed so don’t know how I end up receiving the free patterns. I am Judith Kurtovich

This just popped up on my youtube recommended page today. So happy to see you made the placemat bag :)

I love this where did you get the placemats ?

On the corners, when you see the straight Stich, simply turn it around and zig zag while you are already there.

Hi,like your voice and your video presentation. Ce instructions. Videos.

Plus, it's a Vera Bradley bag... :D

I needed 6, and made 4 before I ran out of time @ Christmas, I put my daughters and granddaughters gifts inside as gift wrap, they loved them, I am back at it now to make the 2 I still “owe” the others. Since I don’t know anything about sewing and simply follow along, is there any trick to lining up the 2 sides of the zippers to the placemat edge evenly? I line it all up, pin and then SLOWLY sew. They are always wonky!. I have picked them apart so many times I am ruining the placemats. I end up sewing further in on the sides to try to hide the screwups…. I had better luck making pouches the the “regular” way, but these placemat ones are soooo cute! I know it can be done, you do it so well!~. Thanks again

Thank you l thought maybe you got others in a store thank for getting back to be.

Thanks you it's beautiful. What size needle did you use for the quilted pouch?

Black is so difficult to see
