    Not top stitching the lining fabric is such a game changer 😭🥳🥳 I have watched so many tutorials and you’re the first one to do it that way and it’s gonna make auch a difference. thanks!!

    • @AprilNY100
      @AprilNY100 Před rokem +3

      Can I ask why it was a game changer? I’ve always top stitched my lining down and before I sew using this tutorial I’d like to know the benefit of not top stitching the liner? I always thought you were supposed to so it doesn’t get caught in the zipper.

    • @warialdasue
      @warialdasue Před rokem +1

      @@AprilNY100I’m wondering about that too

    • @seangrimes9986
      @seangrimes9986 Před rokem

      Me too. I’ve always thought you’re supposed to too stitch the lining down. Especially for after the pouch is laundered and it’s more difficult to press it the same way you did during construction. 🤔

    • @tampabaylisa6151
      @tampabaylisa6151 Před rokem +2

      I was thinking the same thing, but now I can see that everything lines up better when the lining isn't included in that topstitching!

    I appreciate your videos. I thank you for pressing the seams open during construction. It amazes me the number of videos (especially in bag making) that never press the seams. And, they don’t seem to realize how much better their product would be with this additional step. But to the trained and experienced eye it is so obvious.

    Thank you for your video. I'v been making pouches for the last three years, but I had to put together pieces from different videos to have a sort of complete instructions scheme. In your tutorials there is every single step you need to make a nice and neat work, very well explained in a correct time. I also love the style of the fabrics you use !

    Thank you for the excellent explanation of zipper tabs! I love that you showed the whole construction of your pouch. It was so enjoyable! I have a few of your patterns and I love them! Your Devon pouch was my very first pouch I ever made and it was 100% successful - I sweated and worried it would not work but it was perfect! You gave me so much confidence to tackle even bigger and better projects. Blessings to you!

    The BEST tutorial for neat zipper tabs EVER !! Thank you. Very well explained and your video content is easy to see what you are doing at every point of the process. So many craft/sewing tutorials waffle on and on before getting to the point. Your method was easy to follow along and the game changer for me was lining up the tabs a seam allowance width away from the side seams. My pouch with zipper tabs turned out even better than I had hoped. Thank you for sharing.

  • @robinmanly7381
    @robinmanly7381 Před 3 lety +54

    Wonderful tutorial! I see my mistake was stitching over the tabs rather than just close to them. I could never figure out what to do with that bulk!

    • @ROMEKBNY
      @ROMEKBNY Před 3 lety

      I’m a bit lost on this part…so you should be stitching around the tabs? Toward the edge of the pouch? This is why the width of the pouch is not the same as the length of the zipper?

    • @mbmochinski
      @mbmochinski Před 2 lety

      Romasterflex your seam allowance should be such that you stitch right next to where the tabs end. You can make the seam allowance a bit smaller right there so you don't stitch over the tab.

    • @Vivaplus123
      @Vivaplus123 Před rokem +1

    Thank you for several pointers which will improve my zippered bags. For me, the most useful was not having the tabs go all the way to the sides. So that's how things get nice and squared up! Also, I acknowledge the nudge to press between steps, something I have been skipping (out of convenience or, I admit, laziness).
