- I cannot stop myself from making my zippered slip pockets with overlays now that I've unlocked the magic trick to using them! They are so easy! I don't even have a SVG cutter anymore (ok, so some poor decisions were made). Take a look at how easy this is, step by step!

Ive been watching bag tutorial videos lately. I was so giddy to see people still use the templates I designed years ago that are sold through That Template Shop. Your tutorials are awesome.
Oh 100%!!! I've had the zipper templates for YEARS - when the shop was known as Tops & Bobbins!
Love your sense of humor while working through this tutorial. It's a great reminder that this should be FUN, not a chore - something to enjoy, mistakes and all. Thank you for sharing.
Hands-down, this is the best zipper overlay Video I’ve seen yet! Obviously, the other ones didn’t work for me because I was still searching videos on how to sew a zipper overlay😂. I love your sense of humor, you crack me up😊
I love that the YT community doesn't have this weird competition between creators. We all have different ways of teaching and explaining how things work. Everyone benefits from the differing perspectives! On Twitch, there's a lot more "drama" when streamers do the same or similar things as it's a fight for live viewers.
I love your videos!! I love the way you teach and your sense of humor!!! You are amazing and talented!!
I used my Cricut with the slice feature to remove the middle section from the zipper overlay. It was so easy.
You seriously crack me up! Get another cricket cutter! 😆 I wish people were more like you!
I really want the Brother Scan-n-Cut, but after I sold the Cricut from barely using it for over a year, I'm not sure I can convinced the family that it's a sound decision :P
That was a great, clearly explained tutorial- I’m excited to try this
You are such an AMAZING teacher and too funny!!! Love this video!
That was a terrific video, as always, fun and really clear so, thank you
Thank you sew very much for the clear (and funny) zipper overlay instructions! This video helped me to understand exactly how to do this and it made me laugh out loud! 🤣
I appreciate it when you have to move or alter what you’re making so don’t apologize!
The Pemberley Pouch pattern uses this technique. I was very happy to find your video to make sure I install the zipper correctly. Great video!
So glad it helped!!!
Fantastic work, great tutorial. Thank you! Ann in England!
I just made several SVG files on Canvas Workspace for Zipper Overlays. I hope they work, but I will have to probably adjust size in my Scan n Cut. Thanks for the super tutorial!
Enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing.
I love watching these videos.
I love watching your videos. I understand everything you teach and your personality and quirkiness matches mine 😆 so I definitely understand what you say 😂😁 x
Love your videos❤
Thank You For Sharing This, Love Your Bags.😀😃🙂
You're amazing. Thank youuuu!!!
“I’m recording this in the morning between meetings” oh boy I felt that 😂 love your videos!!
Haha yeah! I work from the East coast, but my coworkers are all on the West coast. I get a couple of hours in the morning that are pretty quiet. I sometimes opt to do this and work through lunch instead :)
love the Pattern shop
Very nice!
thanks for great video
Signature Fruit-fly look 😂. Great tutorial! Thank you.
I love your tutorials . I'm from Australia and have started making bags to sell. I also suffer from OCD and I think I'm quite normal.
Hi, first of all I love your tutorials. They are very informative. I have a question. I made my whole bag and I am finding that the zipper is too wide. Can I do an overlay ,when the bag is already done and put the overlay on top of zipper
You make the best bag tutorials 💯🙌 So informative and you take the anxiety out of it with your stellar sense of humor 🤣🥰
What kind of machine are you using in this tutorial, and what presser foot are you using? Im looking into purchasing an industrial sewing machine. Thank you Kittenz!!!
This is a Juki DU-1181N - it comes with the compound walking foot!
@fiercekittenz Awesome! Thank you so much 🤗...I thought that looked like a walking foot.
You crack me up ! Alien fingers 😂
I enjoyed your video
I really enjoy your humor and the great detail of your videos.
I can’t help myself….you do your first goofy thing (alien fingers?) and I hit the like button!
Yaaaaaassssss!!!
Love your video. Side note try a pair of Duckbill Scissors.
Thank you for all your guidance, I so appreciate you. I have question, would it look weird if these pockets were on both sides of backpack or purse? I want two pockets but thinking it might look not right. Please let me know, thanks ❤️
I don't think it'll look weird! If there's enough room for it on the sides, give it a try? Usually when I'm not sure, I'll make it first out of some super cheap vinyl or canvas.
Thanks!
Woah, thank YOU!
@@fiercekittenz You're welcome!
Could I use fabric? I am thinking if using an applique technique with decobond, sewing around the outer and inner edges.
You could, just have to make sure you do something to ensure the raw edges are finished in some manner.
A great tutorial - PIVOT 😂 Thank you
Hi I’m new to your page. So far I’ve learnt some new things. My question is, did you put a link on where you bought the overlayer templates? I didn’t see. Thank you btw for this video
AH, looks like I forgot to add it! I put it in the description just now, but here's the link again: thattemplateshop.com/products/bypiera-zipper-overlay-acrylic-templates-1-2-inch-opening?_pos=4&_sid=49d9820cd&_ss=r
@@fiercekittenz thank you
I love your videos. They help me alot. Question: Where did you buy your walking foot? I need one for my juki but I have not been able to find one that fits.
This one is built into the machine. It's a compound walking foot on the DU-1181N model.
What is the model of your Juki?
@@AdamantErinyes It's a DU-1181N.
I cannot find the hen tale for leather. Will you send me a link.
Loving your video. Thank you. What kind of presser foot are you using? It appears to be 'stepping' along the fabric. TIA.
That’s the compound walking foot of my Juki DU-1181N. It’s built in.
@@fiercekittenz thank you. I don't think I've seen one of those before and certainly haven't used one. It looks interesting, so I'll do some research to find out, more! 🙂
Wow! amazing what weight of thread are you using!!! Great Job!
I typically use Tex 70 or 90 thread from Wizard Stitchery and Craft: geekyhardware.com/
hey, just found you, could you advise me on the tape you are using, and the pattern for the bag (AND), lol, where you get the vinyl from? Thank you kindly.
The tape is Tandy Leather's 1/4" leather tape. The vinyl and the pattern are proprietary - just mine and not for sale.
Oh, but I can tell you where I got the vinyl printed if you want? It was *years* ago - and it was $$$ through AliExpress.
Doesn’t this leave the zipper only supported by the vinyl overlay? What prevents that from tearing?
No, it is also sewn into the panel of the bag when you topstitch both inner and outer portions.
This is a super useful and very amusing tutorial. Could you do another using fabric rather than vinyl? Or at least give some advice? Bunching corners and hours of my life lost trying to make welts look professional. I like this technique and am going to try it today!
So for the overlay you'd definitely want to stick to vinyl or leather. I wouldn't advise doing anything with canvas or wovens in general there. You could put this on top of woven though and not worry about any of the raw edges showing. They'll get encased! In fact, I did several leading up to this tutorial that were in canvas.
@@fiercekittenz not even with some stabiliser and thermo-collant ? I've been doing experiments with fusing fabric to plastic to see how it behaves. I think it's possible but it would have to be very stable and not frey. But I just need to try. That's the part of bag making I really love is solving problems, finding new and better techniques. Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying the tutorials. Let your freak flag fly.
Would this work on a large scale? Like putting it over the main zipper of a duffle bag?
I haven't tried, but I wouldn't see why not - you'd probably just put vinyl strips next to the zipper on either side instead of doing what I've done here though.
blahahah alien fingers. I am guessing you were a little tired/punchy when you were doing this video. I relate to that.
That's my secret. I'm always tired.
❤❤ I am so glad I found your channel. You're hilarious. I feel like we need to beasties 😂 But I'll settle for CZcams besties
Where do I find the zipper templates you use?
ThatTemplateShop.com
Do you have the links for these acrylic zipper overlay templates?
I do!!! Here you go: thattemplateshop.com/products/bypiera-zipper-overlay-acrylic-templates-1-2-inch-opening
@@fiercekittenz thank you so much ma'am!!
I can't find the zipper overlay link, or find it on their site. I probably just need more sleep, lol.
Ahhh I think that’s a ME problem. I meant to put it into the description.
I don't see the link either
Great technique (as usual). ((Might be me, but from 37:37 - 37:56 on a couple of different devices, the video froze while the audio continued.))
EEP, I'll take a look, thanks for the heads up!
wondering why you put the tape at the top, doesn't this mean you are sewing over the tape? IAnd doesn't it gum up your needle? it does on mine. would put it in the middle so you do not have to sew either line on the tape. comments?
You can do either! I don’t have issues with gumming of the needle. This is Tandy Leather’s tape so maybe that’s why?
Wawak. Has it 1/8" to 1 " 60 yd roll pretty reasonable
Oh wicked! Thanks for the info!
