Adding a zipper pocket to a bag or purse

[@conishkee]

1/27/23: I followed your instructions to the letter today and it was so easy. Now I won't be intimidated by it going forward in other projects that require a zipper pocket. In fact, I think every tote bag or purse I make will have a zipper pocket. Talk about going zipper crazy...LOL! Thank you for sharing this technique. It was fun. 😃

[@bridgettelepianka1874]

This was incredibly helpful and I have successfully done this four times to date. I wish I had you 25 years ago when I started playing around with sewing!! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@deborahm1829]

I enjoy watching this over and over. Thank you for teaching it in a simple way I can catch on. Will try today with a Crossbody purse. Thank you again.

Every time I need to add a zipper pocket, this is my go to video. Thanks!

[@bjerles]

Thank you for sharing your videos! I watched this one over and over and still had to watch yours, along with another one, WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY DOING IT to actually get it. I still ended up making one of my lining pieces (the one no one would ever see) wrong side out as I was watching he video for the bag with the all white lining so it didn't matter. LOL! But I love how my zippers turned out! My first try! I am saving this one so I can actually see the right and wrong side of my pocket. I made my bag like yours, with fashion fabric for the pocket lining as I thought I had some left over.

Thanks for this video! I followed your directions and my zipper looks great!!

[@itllbegoodtho]

Fantastic! It really isn't such a mystery when you break it down like that. Thank you!!

[@LeahBandB]

Great tutorial! You made that seem so easy, A lot easier then I was expecting.

[@OOOHBILLY]

FINALLY! Someone who can sew a straight line! The last 3 videos I've watched have been horrid. I am OCD with detail and really like how you are paying attention to the little bits.

[@alfa5243]

ありがとうございました。 Thank you so much!!

[@UriValdez]

This is great

[@lorieubanks8501]

I center the zip in the opening so the metal ends do not show at either end.

[@lizziebiset]

Are you using a Zipper Foot on the sewing machine or just a regular one?

[@SoSewEasy]

+Lizzie Biset Yes, I'm using my zipper foot. I use an adjustable one like this one so I can control easily how close I sew. amzn.to/1NUqfCS

[@joy-lopes]

thank youuu!

[@sylviabrown6617]

Awesome thanks

[@cathyfijalkovic6515]

I use lining in my bags. Looks here like the interfacing is attached to the outer bag am I correct?

[@cathyfijalkovic6515]

+Cathy Fijalkovic I see...your fabric has a white back to it.

[@BoojiePanda]

You can add a piece of fusible Pellon SF101 Shap-Flex (it's woven and very thin) which will give the area a lot more support.

[@mangelicalangs2011]

awesome thanks so much

[@labeeb07]

How can we hide zipper under a flap?

[@naomikeiser8266]

Isn't it funny how we tend to get all OCD over our craft stuff, such as lining up stripes even though it'll be hidden behind a zip? I do it too, and I'm FAR from being a true OCD sufferer....hoarding yes, but not OCD.

[@SoSewEasy]

I just can't help it! Only an elf inside the pocket could check it out, but still - if a job is worth doing, best to do it right.

[@loishelton7612]

Thank you so much
