How to easily sew a snap bag fully lined with no raw seams DIY snap pouch glasses case coin bag

- Here we have a fully lined snap bag with no raw edges. You can follow this technique to make these pouches in any size you like. Simply leave an opening large enough to allow the snap to be turned through.
If you don't want the bulk at the top edge, you can cut the fleece 1cm (same as seam allowance) shorter on each side to enable flatter seams.

Thank you very much for this clear video on snap bags without raw edges-- looks very neat on the inside!
You crack me up Christine, I love that what you see is what you get. I look for your videos daily to see if you have posted something new to watch & learn from. Love the channel. What fabulous gifts that you received in this video. Take care & happy sewing 💜💜💜
Thanks Julie. If I don't get at least three videos up each week, I hear from my mum. I'm afraid.... Very afraid🤣🤣
What a fantastic way to reuse. My husband and I have built ourselves a camp over the years and we certainly have a few tape measures that didn’t make it through to the end. I love it! What a joy to watch you this morning with my first cup of coffee.
Thank you so much. Enjoy your day whilst I head off to the land of nod 😄
Great little snap bag, looks very easy to make. Love the gifts you got very thoughtful. Thanks Christine. 😊
Thanks Janet. They were lovely gifts😀
That was so much fun to watch. You are having warm weather, lets trade locations, I woke to -12 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. I'm so looking forward to your next video again, I can't get enough info. I want to make money sewing and that has not happened as of yet, but I'm not a quitter, just a poor 67 year old widow that loves to make quilts and items to sell at craft fairs. Thank you for sharing with me your talents and your humor, you make my day. Keep cool as I try to stay warm.
Thanks Barbara. I'm so glad we don't get such cold weather as you. I don't think I'd ever get out of bed😀
What a great tutorial! Thank you so much for being so clear. 🎉
You are so welcome Jules. Thank you😁
Thanks for all of your fun videos. I prefer to have the rounded side of the tape measure on the right side of the bag.
Thanks Sue. That may have helped with the rounded top edge😀
A longer and narrower version of this would be great for sunglasses!
It certainly would be Kate😁
Your instructions are always so clear - thank you!
You are so welcome Mary Jane. Thank you 😊
The snap bags were popular about 15 yrs ago, but I haven't seen them lately. I plan to make some for my friends with your method, love the sealed edge ideas. Thanks for all your great tips and ideas.
Wonderful, cheery programs.
Thank you Dorothy. I'm glad you enjoyed it😀
Christine - Your video is the best one I've ever seen making snap bags, so thank you. What a coincidence you receiving the snaps, on the same day as your tutorial! I've binned tapes in the past so bought a cheapie from £1 shop. I also secured the end so I wouldn't loose it.
I love using variegated threads and wool. Love seeing how the wool design changes when knitting beanie hats (for homeless charity) using thrift shop wool, not knowing how the design will end up! So cold here today - I'm typing with my fingerless gloves on. Bet you don't need to wear a beanie hat at the moment 🥶😆
Thanks lesley. I remember making fingerless gloves for my boys when I'd finished their stripey socks. Each little finger would be a different colour😁
🎶Whaw, Whaw, Whaw🎶😂😂😂
Love it.
Hugs,
Cathy from Nevada
Hahaha. I forgot I did that 😄
I did it at the same time Christine did! LOL
Repurposing a broken tape measure is Brilliant!
I was unaware there is a turning tool! I need one of those!
Thanks Marie. The turning tool is fabulous😀
“Wah wah wahhhh” 🤣🤣 So glad I didn’t have a mouth full of water at that moment.
Your videos are SO enjoyable.
Time to go to the thrift store and get some tape measures. 💕
haha, that's so funny Maria😀
Yay, I’m due for a new snap bag. Many thanks for a better inside.
You're welcome Sandi. Thank you 😊
That is so cool! I didn't know that measuring tape could make a snap bag... I love it 🥰
They also make great wristlet snaps too Sue😀
When we had the mask mandate in the US a few years back, while exploring mask patterns, I came across one pattern using a section of snap-measuring tape inserted over-the-nose area.
I made a snap bag years ago and the tutorial had us sew a casing on the outside of the bag for the ruler and insert it at the end, just as you would make a drawstring bag with a casing for ribbon ties. Not as nice looking as yours, but you don't have to worry about the ruler when you're sewing. Also, the dimensions inside of a bag are slightly smaller than the outside so if you cut the lining 1/4" shorter it will help keep the lining from bunching up at the top. I love your channel and appreciate all the inspiration and knowledge you've given me and how professional your projects always look
Thank you Cynthia 😊
I think I saw that pattern. Doing it that way will help you extract the measuring snap rulers before you need to throw the bag in the wash.
Adorable snap bag! Thank you! How ironic that as I was watching you make this bag using the tape measure pieces, I was wondering what else could be used instead, and low and behold what should you receive as a gift but a purse snap. Had no idea there was such a thing. Can't wait to try making this bag! Love your videos!
Thanks Doris. I thought the same thing when I opened up the package. Freaky😀
Now I need a broken tape measure. Thanks for sharing
haha, if you sneak into the shed, you might find an accidentally broken one Cynthia😀
What a great scrap buster! I have some leftover vinyl that this will be perfect for. Now to sacrifice one of by husband’s tape measures🤪
haha, There's going to be a few disgruntled husbands when they find out😀
What wonderful happy video today! You are such a funny lady! I love it when you get tickled! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas!😊😊😊
haha, thanks Debbie. Couldn't help myself😁
Love it! I always wanted to make a snap bag. Thank You!
Go for it Dana 😄
Christine, thank you so much! I’ve recently rediscovered your channel. The jar opener caught my eye as the one I have is very worn and needs to be replaced! That was a great tool! I watched this video next! Liked them both very much! I will watch more of your videos and hopefully will make a few of these. What great gifts! I’m in Texas! 17:51
Welcome back Beverly. I hope you like the rest of the videos😁
Christine, this is the best method I've seen! I already tried 2 methods with terrible results. This is a winner! Thank you!
Thank you Carol😁
I definitely want to try making a snap closure bag. Your instructions are very clear and you miss no details. Great project, Christine.
Thank you Barbara😁
What a fabulous project! I'll have to keep an eye out for a crappy tape measure.
You got some fabulous gifts!
You might have to sneak into the shed and see what you can find Sheila😀
That is a unique project. A lint roller might be just the thing for the filings.
That's a great idea Debbie😁
Really good. Better than what I seen on other channels.
Thanks.
Thank you Sandy😀
You give such nice directions! Thank you❤
Thank you Anna Jean😀
Thanks again. This is Nice- Iam looking forward to very sneakily raid hubby's toolbox for tape measures, -- shhhh😆
haha, I won't tell a soul😁
Don’t take hubby’s good tape measure!!
What a fun project to do. Thank you for sharing your talents. Nothing like getting happy mail, enjoy your gifts.
Thanks Sue. They were great gifts😁
I love your videos! Such a calming voice. And of course your way of making these is brilliant!!!!
Thanks Brandi😀
Wonderful way to reuse. I have got to do more sewing.Thanks
haha, you and me both Kathy😁
That is a cute print for the eye glasses case. I need to make myself a case to put my Transition glasses in on sunny days (because, they get so dark in the sun that I cannot see to walk or drive in them). This is the first pair of Transition lenses I have ever owned that has gotten so dark. It takes them a long time to return to normal after I get them out of the sun. I have to wear these glasses to be able to read. I can see to walk and drive without those glasses.
Thanks Arvetta. It'll be perfect for glasses😀
Put your glasses in the freezer for several minutes, until they get very cold, that will help them change quicker.
I'm so glad you demonstrated how to protect the tape in the tape measurer. I had one that got away from me and there's no way to take that thing apart. Ugh! I also made an asterisk for the casing. Not all tape in a tape measurer is the same. Some are very narrow in width and will not work. Likewise, some are very thick in width and won't work. 1/2" to 5/8" seems to be the best size, and bend well. Anything smaller is too flimsy and the larger tape does not like to bend, and not meant to. Thanks for figuring out how to do this without overcasting.❤😊
Sharon, you should have seen me try to get into mine before I started. Took me about ten minutes to get the end out😁
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Oh yes, it's like wrestling an anaconda 😂
I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL !!! I made so many of these ... I have all the tools and supplies. But I put it aside a long time ago because I did not like the open/raw seams. You are just amazing. I have quietly watched you for so long now. This one made me just have to comment. And - by the way - I laughed out loud at your opening comment.
Thank you for commenting Mary. I've had this tape for years wanting to make more bags. I was so glad I finally found it😀
So cute!!
Thanks Nancy 🙂
Love it❤ thank you 😊
You’re welcome Dolly. Thank you 😊
You're the best!😊
Thank you Anita😁
I love this little bag! Can’t wait to make one.
Thanks Cindy. Happy sewing!😀
Brilliant, as usual.
Thank you Rachel😁
timing is everything. Elsa's package with the snap closure and a turning tool. Yep the wall hanging is a wonderful addition to your bright rooms decor. I love that you show us the goodies from viewers. I should have mentioned before, that I too bought several fusible tapes from Amazon to try. I wasted a bit of money, as Dritz 1/4" is still the best for me. I use less than you do overall, however, the cheaper price in this case just didn't work out. Good luck with the new tapes from New Zealand.
I'm slowly testing them one by one Carylanne. I think the Dritz will actually come out the winner, but will use that one last😀
What a fun project! I wonder if you tucked in the lining and added a line of top stitching at the bottom of the outer fabric if it would help the lining stay in place. Would shorten the interior by a bit but eliminate the frustration of having the lining popping out all the time.
That's a good idea, and definitely worth trying. I probably shouldn't have had the fleece in the stitching at the top either😀
This is brilliant!
Thank you so much😁
Really cute idea!! Now to break a ruler!!😂
Haha, I won't tell anyone😁
Such a cute bag! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome Kim. Thank you😁
❤ you are so ingenious. Thanks
Thank you Sheila😀
Hi Christine. I just love watching all of your videos!!!
Thank you Lori😁
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers!
I love this bag. Thank you!
You are so welcome Winne. Thank you😁
Great demo ,love the way you think x
Thank you Sandy😀
Love this thanks!!
Thanks so much😄
That is the cutest material 😍
Thanks Eva. I love that one too😁
This is the best method I’ve seen. Thanks. I also enjoy your other videos and that you assume the majority of us know how to sew and you don’t go on about unnecessary stuff!
Awesome! Thank you Kathy😀
Perfect! I’m going to make a bit smaller for our cords. I can label each and put in my purse or our suitcase without getting sloppy. Will also look nicer on bedside table, or . . . Just about anywhere.
Thank you again.
That's a great idea!😁
Love it, thanks
Thanks Beatrix😀
Thanks Christine, love this method ❤from Canberra 😂 .
Thanks Angela😀
I love your videos!
From Northeast Indiana USA
Glad you like them Lora. Thank you 😊
I really like it. Thank you.
Thank you too Julie😊
brilliant! Thank you 🌹
You're so welcome Ana. Thank you😀
Of course I want to come with you to the sewing machine 😊
Love the video and great ideas for the scrappy fabrics I have
haha, thanks Sally😀
I have put d rings in a lot of the bags I have made, including draw string bags I gave for Christmas.
It's a great idea Amelia😀
Thank you!
You're welcome Janet. Thank you😁
Oh, and hadnt lined it. Good job.
I always look for your new videos, your tutorials are so easy to follow, thank you ! From sunny South Africa 🌺
Thanks so much Sadia😀
I bought snaps to make glasses case. Thank you for another interesting episode. ❤
You're very welcome Melahat. Thank you😁
That is really cute. Never thought a metal tape measure would work for that. Good tip 👍👍
Thanks Christine😁
Thanks!
You're welcome Nancy😀
You are the best! Thank you for all of your tutorials! I just received this exact type bag at our sewing retreat & had been thinking about making them!
You're very welcome. Thank you😁
Thank you.
You're welcome Dyana. Thank you😀
Genius!
Thanks Marsha😀
I just love you so much. ❤❤
Aww, shucks. Thanks Debbie😋
Christine I just loved this video. Your tutorial is much easier than the one I used to make a snap bag for a Christmas present. That one I saw, used a French seam, but doing it your way that won’t be necessary. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to try it!
Glad it was helpful Pat. Thank you😁
Always wondered how this works…….now I know thank you!! Can’t wait to start one but first the tablet case in a previous video!! Thank you so much Christine!!
You're welcome Margie. I need to make more of those tablet bags too😁
This is a great bag, Christine! I don’t have any broken measuring tapes so a trip to the dollar store is in my future! Have a fantastic day :)
Thanks Christine. Have a great day too😁
Wonderful tutorial! These are almost like a toy! I love the clicking! I like that you made a lining to enclose the tape!
Thanks Sherry😀
Thanks Christine lovely video i have made one of these pouches before was a long time ago made the top that holds the tape different to you like yours better have a nice day such lovely gifts
Thanks Pamela 🙂
Thank you, one of the women in our quilt guild showed us one she made and we all now want to make one!!
They're quite a fun little pouch to make Kathleen😀
I’ve watched soooo many videos on this topic. There’s an easier way to do it. Butttttt. I love your channel.
Thank you so much Cindy 🤗
Nice
Thank you 😊
Love this, Ive made these before and developed cuttungbthe cirners back of the measuring tape, but hadnt thought of the electrician's tape. Clever and sensible.
Those tape ends can be very sharp🤣
Nice way to make this, Christine. TFS your technique. I see your hair is up. Hope this means your shoulder has improved. ❤
Thanks Cyn. Shoulder is getting better. I've been practicing putting the hair up for a couple of weeks now, though I have to shrink my head down to reach🤣
I like that this snap bag can use directional scrap pieces of fabric. The other vids I’ve seen require long pieces of non directional yardage. Thanks for sharing. 😃
My pleasure Celina😁
Use a piece of tape to collect the tiny metal shavings. Love it!
Good idea Nita. Thank you😁
I have one that my mom had (she's passed), I use for my crochet hooks.
That's a lovely memory Paula😀
Great snap pouch, I am hunting the shed today for tape measures, I am sure I can break one on them, if not does Chris have them on the $1:00 table? thanks again Christine
haha, I almost stole one of Chris's as I couldn't find mine. Fortunately for him, I can't find anything out there. He probably does have some in his $1 trolley😀
Good afternoon Ms Christine, this is such a clever snap bag...very good instructions....job well done!!!
I would like to see you making a : JAPANESE KNOT BAG.. there are many tutorials with a pattern. some of them done differently...what is your take making a pattern that is not to large to carry. Small, medium. and large according to you.......some of the small patterns turn to big......
Thank you. for today,s presentation
Josefina Mccarty, Greetings from USA, Florida
Thanks Josefina. I actually started the knot bag about a year ago, and didn't like the finish. Will have to try it again😀
yes.....I did a couple of measurements and when I closed the bag, I did no like the look, I just made another measurements of the handle to see how it looks > I want to make some of this bags for charity..... to see how that is received...please keep me posted with your bag....thanks again, josephine @@ChristinesHomeAffairs
New subscriber! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this - I love your sense of humour. Question - what machine are you using? That is the narrowest looking presser foot I’ve seen.
Welcome to the channel. The machine is a ProSew available Port McQuarrie in Australia. I did a review on it a while back that will tell you all about its features. The foot sure is tiny. It's great for zippers😀
If they are iron metal, you can use a magnet 🧲 to clean up the bits. Have a great day 😊
I didn't even think of that Giovanna. Thank you 😊
I made quite a few of these about 10-ish years ago in several sizes. If they get a lot of use, the metal tape will break up. I have experiemented with whether to let the tape curve in or out. I am still undecided (or can't remember) on which is best. I should mention that I often embroidered (monogramed) them for gifts. I need to get back to making some more. I wanted to buy some of the "fancy" snap tops like your gift, but dh tells me I need to use more of the things I already have and not buy more for now. :-) He is right.. sigh.
haha, Chris and I can't keep an eye on each others purchases or hoardes. We're both as bad as each other. 😀
Turned out cute but there’s an easier way to make these and the lining is nice and smooth. It calls for French seams and is quite easy.
Yes, that's correct Darlene. I wanted these without French seams😀
Use a magnet to clean up the metal filing. 😊
Thanks Peggy. I didn't think of that at the time😀
You can use your dressmaker's magnet wand to pick up the metal tape clippings and filings.
Thanks Laura. I didn't even think of that😀
Question tho… if you have to wash bag won’t tape measure start to rust? What about sealing it with something before sewing it into project.
That's a good idea Nancy. I probably won't wash this one 🙂
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs you never know if something will spill in it. I’m a klutz so I would definitely spill something on mine.. lol.. mainly coffee 😃
Old clear nail polish might work.
Please, what length stitch do you use ?
Fran, I mostly use 3mm stitch length 🙂
What state are you in Christine
I'm in Victoria Wendy 🙂
Do you still knit? Can you teach us or recommend a good CZcams person? Thanks for another great video.
I haven't knitted in several years Carol. It was too much on my hands at the time. I found crochet easier on the hands. Now I just don't have the time. I don't know anyone to watch either, but I'm sure there'll be several great channels out there😁
This is the only snap bag ive seen that has the numbers on the tape measure facing out. 😅
Interesting. It was about 50/50 for me. 😁
