There are lots of these zipper pouch videos but you went to the trouble of explaining about zipper feet, and how to cut metal vs plastic zips. Thanks so much. This was ace!
Thanks. You are so kind
I agree, very calm voice, no music, and great speaking tone and speed
Thank you
Absolutely the BEST simple zip tutorial I have watched!! Thanks for explaining all the tricky parts of sewing a zip purse!!!
Thank you for not having background music over the tutorial. This was so easy to follow.
Glad you liked it!!
Alleluia!!!!
Thank you for being an awesome teacher. Easy to follow your instruction with no distractions and no missing step. Very through. Awesome!
You're very welcome
This tutorial with the pattern instructions was a lifesaver! My daughter is getting married next month. She found this cute little handbag for the wedding but it needed a lining. I struggled with finding a solution until I followed your tutorial. THANK YOU for sharing your expertise!
Glad it was helpful! Hope it went well
Nice, calm and easy to follow tutorial - thank you. No distracting background music either 👏🏻
Glad you liked it!
Yes nice and easy i liked theno music
Amen, Sarah!
Great easy-to-understand tutorial! Thanks, I plan to make some for gifts!❤
Your tutuorials are great. You get right to the point and don't go off talking about other things unrelated to your topic. You go at just the right speed and show exactly what you are doing; close up. Keep up the good work Jan, it's appreciated
You are so welcome and kind.
I just stumbled onto this tutorial. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I've made quite a few of these zippered bags over the years as gifts for friends and family, and I'm about to retire and I plan on making a lot more. The tips you share, as well as the close up views are absolutely wonderful and I will be using your tips when I make future bags.
Wonderful!
I have to say you are such a good teacher. I love the extent you go to explaining how to do things. I haven't used my sewing machine in quite a while, but I am going to start practicing on it today, and can't wait to watch some of your other videos.
Thank you so much! You are so kind. So happy that you're going to start sewing again. :)
Like us😄
Speaking as one who has made many ugly zipper pouches using various y/t tutorials, I can safely say this is the most professional by far!
Thank you Jan, for sharing your expertise with us💕🕯
Thanks. You are so kind
I agree
I just found you and your straight-forward, no nonsense, detailed instructions. THANK YOU for this tutorial. Made a two-toned bag today and love it so much. You’re a gem 💎
You are so welcome and kind
Thanks for another great tutorial! I thought there must be a way to fix the ends of the zippers. So I sought you out again and you didn’t disappoint You have spent a great amount of time with me at my sewing table as I work on different projects. Thanks so much!!!
Glad I could help, and you are so welcome!
I’ve been sewing things for years. I have a really nice Bernina, but it has been in the closet for years. I really need to " re familiarize" myself with the machine. ololol I did make a few items with a zipper but that was YEARS ago. I need a refresher course & I’ve watched other instructional videos and still got lost because they sped up the video. Yours was the only one I’ve seen that actually makes me want to watch all the way through. I wanted to make a whole bag for a trip that I am taking and a nice one for my son's wedding in April. I have time over the holidays since I will be home & I am going to do yours first & follow the step by step instructions. Thank you so much for your excellent descriptions
You are so welcome. Let me know how it goes.
@@JanHowell thanks. I am working on it this weekend. I love the boxed look too.
I just made one for myself to practice for my son. We both needed a custom diabetes bag and now we have one!!! Thank you so much.
What a great idea
Thank you for showing the item you were making at the start. Very clear instructions. Excellent tutorial style. Loved it.
THANK YOU for such a great tutorial! I love how slow and easy you were to follow. I just got my sewing machine out after 30+ years and wanting to make some of these bags in a variety of sizes. Cannot wait to get started!
You are so welcome
That "not stitching the top stitch till the end" was the point I was stuck on, all those past projects. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome
I just made two quilted lined bags with your tutorial from another tutorial that I messed up from cutting out the four corners instead of the two corners and they came out perfect! I’ve made a lot of zipper bags and this one is the gold standard for the basic bag to add your own or add a new twist!
Glad it was helpful
Thanks for such detailed instructions.
Many bag tutorials do not explain how to properly get those zipper tabs neatly in place.
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for this bag tutorial! Your instructions are so clear and well thought out and I love the close ups of how you do each part. I've made this bag 5 times and this last time was my best yet!
That’s wonderful. You are so welcome!
Great video!! I love how everything was simply explained and made soo easy to follow!!💕
Thank you so much!!
I love your little bags. I made 4 bag pouches.
I made them for our craft show.
I also made 3 baby blankets after I figured out the mitered corners.
I’m 70 years old and I don’t catch on as quickly as I used to in my younger days.
I love your sewing videos they are so helpful to me.
You’re such a good teacher.
I love ya❤️
Thanks and you are so welcome
Just so happened to come across your channel and I’m so glad I did🥹
My mom was showing me how to sew before she passed and now I feel I can learn so much from you that I wasn’t able to get from her. Thank you, you are such an amazing teacher with your step by step instructions!
You are so welcome and so kind!
I enjoyed this tutorial and made a key pouch for myself! Liked your tips and teaching style. Thank you! 😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much Jan, I really really enjoyed watching you create that zipper pouch, and although I’m not a newbie sewing 🧵 person, I really really love ❤️ how you created this video, and I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too. Please stay safe and well too
So glad you found me and thanks for watching
Great tutorial. Thanks for explaining about not sewing to the edges of the fabric and just sewing from the zipper end/tab, all the way around - a great tip.
Glad it was helpful!
So nice to find a tutorial with calm and clear voice over (and not poorly chosen loud music) 😊
wonderful
Ive always hated zippers..butttt in my 60ish years...You CAN teach a old dog new tricks...lol 🤣
Yes you can.
I've got the zippers down, but buttons scare the 💩 out of me.
Thank you so much
😊😊😅😊😅😊😅😅
@@olivewoo522buttonholes are the worst 😅
Excellent in every way. Thanks for no music. Can be so distracting.
Glad you like it!
thank you for this video. Made my first zipper pouch today. Needs a little work but all an all I am pleased. Your video was a great help. An again thank you
I'm an intermediate sewer but I haven't done anything with a zipper in it in years and needed a quick refresher as I was also trying to trouble shoot the needle placement on my machine and this tutorial was super easy and straightforward to follow. I really appreciated that you took the time to explain the right vs left side of the zipper foot as it helped me figure out why my machine was acting up too!
Thanks. You may also find this new video helpful. I give some more tips and ideas for zipper application.

Great tips, it's always the little tips and tricks that make the difference and make your work look professional. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. 😃🤗💕
You are so welcome.
I found you (and subscribed) this morning and have thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial style. You are easy to understand, your editing is great, and you provide helpful tips. I look forward to making this pouch and continuing to learn from you. Happy New Year! xo
Welcome aboard, and Happy New Year to you!
I am so glad I found your video . Don't believe that I have watched any that have been so well explained as yours . The extra on the zippers helps so much. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, a million times over, for these videos. I can't tell you the number of times I've set my laptop up at my craft table while you show me how to make something step by step. You're awesome!
Glad the videos are helpful and thanks for your kind words.
Great tutorial and camera work is fantastic. I love the close-ups. Very helpful. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much! You are so king
Great tutorial! Where would you add a tab if you wanted to do so? Thank you :)
Instructions, tips, and view of work is wonderful. However, I would always use fabric glue that is specifically for sewing or quilter’s tape. Other glues could gum up your needle.
Looking forward to finding more tutorials.
Thanks for sharing! I worried about that myself, but seems to do ok. for this project.
I’ve watched quite a few zipper pouch tutorials and made several pouches. Yours is by far the best method I’ve found because it results in a very clean finish. Thanks for this!
You are so welcome!l
I’ve made two of these this evening following along with you. They didn’t come out perfectly, but with a little more practice I think I’ll get it! Wonderful tutorial and thanks for no distracting background noise!
Wonderful, glad you liked it
Wish I had seen this video years ago. Great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
I used to be afraid of zippers but not anymore this video was a game changer for me thank you so much it made it so easy to do zippers now all I want to do is more❤️❤️❤️
Love it!
Thank you for the tutorial. I am making pencil bags for Christmas Shoebox and these are working out great! You are a good teacher and everything was calm.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for creating this video. You answered every possible question as you made this pouch. Mine turned out great. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I must have watched this video about 10 times before I plucked up the courage to give it a bash! Well today was the day!!! I made two of the most beautiful teacher gifts ever! Thank you so much! It was my first time working with a zip and only my third ever sewing project. Your videos are really great to follow. I didn’t feel lost or overwhelmed once ❤️
That is wonderful!
So happy, I found this tutorial !So easy way explained every single step. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I almost skipped this video, as I've watched *many* tutorials on zippered pouches, and I'm so glad that I decided to watch it anyway. So many helpful tips! Using the glue stick is simply brilliant. Moving the zipper tab out of the way makes so much sense. The way you did the topstitching, making the rectangle across the zipper rather than two separate edge-to-edge lines is another great tip. I've saved this to my "stitchy hings" playlist (yes, hings, I was amused by the typo when I made the playlist & never corrected it) and I'm sure I'll be referencing it the next time I make a pouch.
Thanks and you are so welcome
I just made my first pouch and I love it!! Thank you so much for you clear instructions! 😁❤️
You are so welcome
thank you!! I made my first project with a zipper! Not perfect BUT far better than I thought! So excited to make more! you are awesome!!
You are so welcome and kind
I am obsessed with bag and pouch making, so much fun making them.😊😊😊😊😊😊 Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your zipper pouch tutorial . Very clear and demonstrated instructions. You went the extra mile. 👏👏
You’re welcome 😊
❣what a lovely video!! Exactly what I was looking for, without background 'noise'. It reminded me why I loved sewing class in high school (many decades ago!). Those little bags would be great little gifts - I could buy the little quilting squares for the fabric. I had a zippered bag from Thirty-One that I used forever, I used it as a purse when I just wanted to carry the essentials. Their prices are outrageous now, and since you showed me how to make my own zippered bag/purse, I'm going to make a bunch! Thanks, Jan~
Sounds fun and you are so welcome.
I LOVE THESE BAGS!!! I will make some for my daughters as well as myself. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. 😃
You are so welcome!
Love this. Thanks for debunking zippers! I’ve never managed to put one in straight yet so can’t wait to give it a go.
You've got this!
I love your channel because you explain and show every detail with closeup detail. I’m a newbie sewer and love how you teach thanks!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for such an excellent video tutorial to make a zippered pouch! I enjoyed watching and learning from your very calm voice, detailed instruction, and non-distracting background noise/music! I have now made several of these bags and they are turning out great!
You are so welcome!
I love to see you teach us such great sewing projects. These are so cute😊
Thank you! 😊
Dear Jan, today, I sewed my 1st pouch following closely your tutorial & I am so happy it turned out out beautifully. Your tips works well esp the zipper and they are fantastic. I will continue to follow your other tutorials. Thanks a million Jan, I cross the bridge with zipper!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful. Love it!
I've always been hesitant to work with zippers. You are such a good teacher! Thank you for showing how easy it can be! Can't wait to make some of these cute zipper pouches!

What a great video! Many don't hold my attention but I'll probably look at this one several times. I can't wait to start! I am looking for quick, easy and inexpensive projects to make for nursing home residents and this is a keeper! You are a great instructor., very concise and to the point!

Wow, that's wonderful. Aren't they fun to make!
I have watched a lot of videos to see which one has the best instructions. Yours outperforms by far!
Wow, thanks!
I watched you for the first time and loved your tutorial. The tips were excellent. I am a novice at sewing and zippers did scare me. Not anymore!!! I made one last night and carried to work today. Thank you!!
AWESOME! You are so welcome!
I have always been intimidated by sewing anything with a zipper!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! What adorable bags!!!
Great idea for me to use a shirt that was my Daddy’s (who just past away) to make a bag for my sister for Christmas!!
Love love love this tutorial!!!
❤❤❤
I was also intimidated by zippers, but one day I just decided to have a go. Now it's no problem. Grit your teeth and do it! You won't look back! You can do it
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I was easily able to follow step-by-step directions, including box corners. I am SO pleased at my completed zippered bag with lining. I feel quite accomplished. Thank you again!😊
You are so welcome, and way to go!
The best zippered bag tutorial ever! Tape on the loose edge!?!? GREAT!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial, for sewing the zipper tabs, great idea for pressing the side seam. Thank you! 💖
You are so welcome!
I made three of these on Sunday and only used two fat quarters plus the zipper. Thanks for the tutorial!
Wonderful. You are so welcom.
Used this method with my woven fabric and it turned out great! Although it was a bit touch and go when I forgot to unzip the zipper before sewing it up 😆
I think everyone has to do that once. LOL
Thanks Jan for your videos...I just made two pencils cases for girls who are starting junior kindergarten and one for a little boy who starts daycare this week. I'm sure that they'll love them.
You are so welcome
Anxious to make these! Thanks so
Much for NO FAST SPEED MOTION! Lol. Your explanations are clear and I can SEE what you’re doing. Thanks so much! VS
Thanks, glad it was helpful
I'm really loving this tutorial! Initially I defaulted to using some shorter videos, but there is extra information and tips in yours that has proven super useful, thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your video. I’ve been making some project bags and suffering through zippers. First thing I noticed with your video, the zipper being 1” shorter and, the not sewing into the zipper tab when sewing the outer seams. Oh, and the glue stick idea. I saw double sided tape used and couldn’t find it. Thank you so much. I hope my next zipper is much easier. Awesome video and great tips.
