How much do you sell these for? Did you ever do the tutorial for the id part?

Hello! Would it be possible to pass the measurements also in cm? Thanks.

I've been sewing since I was 12 - now 28 - I've never put a zipper under my sewing foot before because I was always so intimidated but I just made the most adorable zipper sandwich bags thanks to you!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁 I wish I could add a picture! I'm so proud of myself! Lol Now I'm a zipper sewing fool! 🤣 Ive made three already 🤦🏼‍♀️🥰

[@tracyhastings]

I am watching this video, again. And I still chuckle when you 'swish, swish, swish' the inside lining to clean it. You rock on, GF. That is the way to do it. No one has time to mess around. You do you!! BTW, love your videos, keep up the great info and entertainment.

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you Tracy!

[@barbaraschiro6042]

Loved this video. You showed and explained everything from materials needed to how to sew the actual item. Some people only show the materials and then show us a finished product, but they forget to show how to sew the item. Not very helpful when they do that, especially for beginners. You do a great job - congrats. Will be watching more of your videos soon.

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you so much Barbara!

[@denisetheriault6415]

Hi Jess, I’m from Maine! You are such a natural teacher. Easy instructions to follow. Thank you so much for teaching us how to make these simple easy snack bags. This is the way to go! Love it! Will be making at least 30 + for my little nieces and nephews. Even for my 45 year old daughter to take to work! Keep teaching! 😍👍

[@estellehowell1918]

You are absolutely wonderful. And your teachings are very detailed. by those that do not speak english just watching you ..... we can do it. THANK YOU A MILLION.

[@wendykakogawa1861]

Thank you for this video tutorial - for introducing me to PUL. My husband's cousin's son is allergic to quite a bit of food, especially nuts, so he has to bring home lunch every day. They will be visiting us during the summer, so I'll be making the Sandwich Bags along with the Snack Bags especially for him. I like how Boxing the Corners helps the bag to stand up so they can concentrate on loading the bag. I'm a visual learner so I appreciate this.

[@OklaRoots]

That's such a sweet idea, Wendy. I'm so glad this video could be a part such a loving gesture for your family. Thank you!

[@katherinemckenna3889]

I'm so happy!! I made my first zipper bag today!! I made it big enough that I could put my zipper tape stuff in it. I love your instructions so much! Thank you.

I may be finding this a year after it posted but i’m finding it at the right time!

Also thanks for teaching an old sewer a new trick with the clips my pins have been stored away.

[@OklaRoots]

Hi Barbara! I'm so happy to hear you'll be making these. Honestly we use them every day, so I think they will be lovely gifts.

[@DistractedDaisy]

omg.. you are my stranger thing this week.. I am so gonna make this. and after watching this video- you are so detailed.. I love all the little hints like starting to sew one direction on the quilt so not to wrinkle fabric.. i was would be so upset if my fabric was wrinkled and I didn't know why.. good job girl.. love it.

You're so nice Pati! Thank you!

[@capedoryus]

Great zipper/bag instructions. Great step by step work through. I'm still at the point of going step by step via KZbin for bag/zipper tutorials. Yours is by far the best. "Zippered pouch" is the search term I use when I need a video. Now it will be reusable smack bag. Thanks again. Appreciate your dedication to quality videos.

[@phyllisgrant5188]

OMG! Hi there, I just found you 2 days ago and have very blood shot eyes from binge watching🥴. Totally subscribed. I’ve been just getting into sewing, my history is about 6th grade knowledge from home-ec. Many many many years ago. I don’t think it’s even a class anymore! Thank you for, in my opinion taking the extra steps in your explanations. I’ve watched many and understand most (I’m not clueless ☺️) but for whatever the reason I connect to your explaining. You’re so fun and such a pleasure. I’m going to for sure attempt this project this weekend. Zippers scare me. But first the market bag you recently showed. If I knew your mother, I would steal if from her after she took it from you. Now, to convince my hubby to use this bag for his nuts🤔. TFS ~Phyllis ❤️❤️

[@OklaRoots]

Hahaha you just made my day Phyllis! I'm so glad we could meet via KZbin. Thank you for such a wonderful comment!

[@phyllisgrant5188]

Jess OklaRoots hi Jess, I just finished my market bag! It’s awesome. I didn’t box bottom because I was to excited to be done. Let me just say, bonjour to French seam. I like that better than trying to insert and flipping out and sewing 3 inch blah blah blah. Maybe when I’m better but for me a bag is a bag😀. Thanks again, luv your channel. And yes, I know I should have put this on that video but my tech skills are still a work in progress🥴 ❤️Phyllis

[@donnathompson2718]

In this video you say the right side of the PUL is the shiny side. In your two color snack bag video you say the other side! I love your videos! You are so honest and funny and informative!

[@OklaRoots]

I’m so glad you mentioned this! I’ve been so confused about PUL, but after reaching out to my retailer it turns out they’re BOTH the right side 🤯, it just depends how you want to use them! I’ve been using the shiny side as the right side for things that could stain (berry bags, for example) and the fabric side as the right side in other cases.

[@donnathompson2718]

I’m an experienced quilter. But I thought I’d go a bit out of my comfort zone and try this. Your directions are great! However, I am finding working with the PUL fabric incredibly difficult. Won’t move through my machine at all. Closing the bottom at the end was a nightmare. I don’t know about others but some tips about how you are managing the PUL don’t doesn’t pull, distort, or plain not love through the machine, would be very very helpful thank you 🙏!

I am new to bag making (I honestly forgot how much I enjoyed sewing when I was younger and just picked it back up in 2020). Thank you for being so easy to follow and for providng such clear and insightful instructions. I just received my PUL fabric today and can not wait to make these for my nephew.

I already washed it and put it in the dyer with scent free dryer sheets, but the smell is still there. If you’ve had this issue, any suggestions of how to get rid of it? I worry about it altering the taste of the food.
