Hey everyone,
Well, after countless messages and comments requesting I make a video for this hack, I've finally gotten around to it after losing my voice for a good few weeks.
The top zipper hack for Lindsay's Dayna Pack. A Fanny Pack in the USA or we call them Bum Bags here in Australia. Such a cute little pattern. Nice and quick to assemble too. This hack adds another pocket for extra storage. I've also made a change to the connectors which I explain in the video so double check your hardware depending on your strap preference.
The pattern can be found here at Linds Handmade

Pattern piece changes...
-- You will need to cut 2 lining pieces from the 'Back Main Panel'
-- Don't cut the 'Front Top Panel Liner'. Instead cut your liner from the 'Front Top Panel Exterior' piece which is 1/4" taller
-- Add 1/4" to the top of the 'Back Liner' piece (see edit below)
-- Scrap for zipper tabs (at least 1 1/4" wide by about 5")
I hope you like my video. Let me know what you think.

EDIT :
A few people are having trouble getting the back liner piece to match up. I have no trouble at all but when I reviewed my pattern pieces, I can see that the Back Liner piece could probably be 1/4" taller. I have added this alteration to the description of pattern pieces changes above. It still works out fine for me without the extra 1/4", so I didn't pick up on it until a few people commented so I do apologise.
However, some people are noting that they are much more than 1/4" off. Because the bottom is darted, you don't want to push it down flat. In the video at 7:40 you can see that mine doesn't match either to start with but if you clip the top and bottom like I did the base should curve up to meet the lining. That helps create the shape in the pocket. The liner is smaller so that it the front piece curves up. Don't worry about any difference until you've clipped it like shown in the video.
If it is still not matching, it could be the SA used for the zip and the darts. Both can make the exterior piece longer if your SA is too small.
I hope this helps anyone having trouble.

I think your tutorial is better than the designer's! And thank you so much for skipping over your actual sewing. You're gotten a new subscriber!

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

Thanks KimberlyAnn. I figure most people are there for the "how to assemble" part and know how to use a machine. So I don't want to make the video any longer than it has to be. I prefer shorter, to the point videos myself so I try to create them that way too. Glad you enjoyed. 😊

@debbieayres9176 Год назад

Sew glad you made this Video. Your instructions, organization and quality video make it easy to follow. One of the best Hacks I have seen.

Thank you 😍 I hadn't tried the Dayna bc it was only the front zip, but having this top zip makes the bag far.more useful for me.

Great tutorial! this is the easiest bag I have made in quite awhile! Love how it turned out and will be making lots more! I also tried the clear vinyl with the top zipper and sorry to say it didn't turn out well...luckily I didnt use that much to make it and picked it apart and saved the zippers!I am going to try it again!

So many little upgrades to the pattern instruction, in addition to the hack

@DawnCutaia 4 месяца назад

When I first bought this pattern on line I assumed there was a top zipper that just was not visible and was surprised that there was not. Thanks so much for this hack. Wouldn't you have to make the lining back - the one that is part of the original pattern - taller - if you made the top lining the same size as the top outer when you make the original outside zipper? That lining piece matches up with the shorter top part, you know what I mean? I would think the linking piece would be 1/4 inch too short.

@whatastitchup.creations 4 месяца назад

Hi Dawn, if you expand the description box there is an edit for that little measurement and all the pieces listed to cut. Sorry I couldn't update the video, maybe one day I will do a new one and make a few changes.

@sutela2060 3 месяца назад

Thank you for your great video, i have bought the pattern but will also have a zipper in top like this hach😊 is it right understood that i need 2 more back lining and a zipper for the hach??

@whatastitchup.creations 3 месяца назад

Yes that's correct. 2 from the back main panel but in your lining fabric. In the description are the details of each thing that is extra or different. 😊

@maryrouisse5308 Год назад

Thanks, you did a great tutorial very easy to follow and understand. Just on question you mentioned some seam allowances but not all so are the others as in the pattern? Now I can finally make the top zipper hack😃

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

Sorry Mary. I sometimes forget to mention them but yes all seam allowances are in the written pattern. I used 1/4" for the top zipper and I think most of them are 1/4" anyway.

@maryrouisse5308 Год назад

@@whatastitchup.creations Just wanted to make sure thanks 😀

@debbieayres9176 Год назад

Question so you only cut 2 extra pieces of back lining that are not in the original pattern and the zipper tabs?

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

Yep. Plus the top front liner piece is cut the same as the exterior and not shorter like in the original.

@IrinasBerninas Год назад

Thanks! I see that it looks a bit tricky where you fit the webbing in close to the zippers. Would it be a good idea to cut those top corners a little wider to allow more room for the 1" webbing

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

Absolutely. You could add 1/4" to the top of the top front, top front lining, back and 2 lining back pieces to account for the SA of adding the top zipper. Or alternatively, reduce the size of your strap connectors to 3/4" with slightly smaller D rings.

@sharonmaue6812 Год назад

Thanks for the great video! Did you ever make one in all vinyl exterior? What type needle did you use? Thank you!❤

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

I personally haven't but lots of others have definitely made all vinyl exteriors. There isn't really any super thick sections so it shouldn't be too tricky. Good luck.

@barbaraparas5672 Год назад

Thank you so much for this great tutorial, just what I was looking for. I am just wondering if you added any length to the back liner piece ? Mine doesn’t seem to fit ? Just wondering if I missed something along the way. Thanks so much for your help ❤

@@whatastitchup.creations It is the back liner piece, it is shorter so if I match the top it doesn’t fit around the bottom edges ! I don’t know what I did. Thank you for replying so quickly.

Where can I get this pattern with a double zipper? I've tried to do it with Dayna's regular boss, but I can't get it. Do you have a link where I can get it?

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

There isn't a separate pattern. It's a Hack of the original. So you need to use the pattern pieces from the original and modify them or cut extra pieces as required in the video. Hope that helps.

@ispops87 Год назад

@@whatastitchup.creations So the same pieces that I used for the normal part are the same ones that I'm going to use for the second part that is above because it's for the double zipper, right? How much more measure did you use sideways or upwards?

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

The 2 extra lining pieces are the same as the back exterior piece. The top front lining piece is cut the same as the top front exterior piece instead as it's a 1/4" taller. The only other bit to cut taller is the lining for the back of the front pocket. It should be 1/4" taller.

@ispops87 Год назад

Perfect thank you so much! ❤️

@lynnworron6907 Год назад

What is a hump jumper ?

@whatastitchup.creations Год назад

Haha I know it sounds funny but if you google it you'll get a picture. It's a little wedge tool that you put under the front or back of your foot as you sew when the height of what you are sewing changes. So you can keep the pressure consistant on the low bit as your foot wouldn't be touching it.
