Clear Pouch Walkthrough - Inspired By One of My FAVORITE Brands!

[@bonniebell1104]

I realize that this is an old video but today I'm seeing this for the first time. I have to say that of all the tutorials that i have watched of other sewists, you are the one i go to most. Your teaching style is very clear and consistent. I can follow you easily and I trust your advice. Thank you for being you❤.

[@shaerayb4520]

I am a first time viewer. I think you are nuts to purchase that expensive plain pouch when you have great ability in your self. I went to Stoney Clover Lane and looked at "stuff" and found the bag you purchased and thankful I don't share your desire for their "stuff". Think of all the cool fabric, vinyl, zippers and pul you could buy if only. Girl, your pouches are soooo much more desirable. Good video and I will be referring back to it at a later date to make my own too. Thanks for the clarity of your work.

[@rosemaryryan502]

Jess have you tried adding your binding to the back of the bag first then folding it to the front and then top stitching. It may work

[@epe746]

Hello from neighboring Jacksonville! Jess, mine was a complete disaster! 🥵 Not at all your fault, your instructions are great. If you're in the mood for a laugh, here's what went wrong: I cheaped-out and bought my clear vinyl from Joann's, just to give this project a try. I also bought 3 zippers, and some pretty fabric. (Singer fat quarter bundle). I was so excited I was going to make three bags. I printed your templates, thanks Jess, they are great! I took out the vinyl and right away noticed a rather strong odor to it. I began to cut, piece of cake, but next thing you know, my throat hurts, my eyes itch, my nose starts to run, what the... It appears that I was having an allergic reaction to the vinyl. so quicky I took the cut pieces to the sink and proceeded to wash them with anti-bacterial soap, and at this moment my hands started to itch, and it moved up my arms. So I dried the pieces and put them away. My throat was still hurting. So I figured, I'll get started with the top of the bag and I'll try the vinyl again tomorrow. Well, I had never sewed a zipper in my life, but I managed to make the end pieces, attach them and proceed to baste the first piece of fabric to it. My zipper says polyester and I had no idea it would be so hard to attach. As I removed the clips, the polyester zipper went all over the place and my seam was not at all straight.😡 Oh well, it's just basting, right? Wrong! the next seam did not go any better. Attaching the back top pieces of fabric went even worse. 😭 I gave up. my eyes are still irritated and hurt, so I ended up throwing my whole project away, and the rest of the Vinyl, but I tried sewing a little of it with some bias tape with the tissue paper under, and that part worked like a charm. Next time I want a Vynil pouch, I will go to Target and pay $5 for one already made, or a dozen for $15 on Amazon. Needless to say, I will not be sewing clear vinyl ever again! I love all your tutorials. I made several tote bags with your video. I'm working my way up from easiest to more advanced. But I'll stick to fabric for now. Going to take some Benadryl, and hit the sack,

[@geraldineself6017]

Bless your heart.

[@suzannecronin5366]

These are perfect for teacher gifts with a gift card inside. Thanks Jess

[@gladyslipiec9535]

I just watched your video/tutorial. I LOVE the way you teach! I realized I didn’t have a single question. You are so good. Thank you.

[@tinajefferies5682]

I love your method of sewing the zipper tabs on as one, then cutting to size afterwards. Never seen that before. Very clever. Greetings from the UK.

[@amandam7299]

I made one large and one small so far. Soooo fun!! I had some trouble with the binding in a couple places. The back would slip out of place and it wouldn't catch. I'm thinking perhaps some double sided tape to hold the bottom binding edge before top stitching. Such a great pattern! I'll be making more for sure

[@allyfab4993]

I used double sided tape on mine, worked a treat!

[@CountryCowDesigns]

I love the double topstitch method. It looks perfect when you do it that way. Great tutorial!

[@lauraanderson3675]

I use Teflon sheets for heat press on the bed of my machine. For me it works better than tissue. I use painters tape or you can use washi tape to stock it on. It can be cut down to any size you want. I use it also when adhering interfacing so my iron doesn’t get stiff on it. You can get them on Amazon in multi packs for somewhere around $6

[@OklaRoots]

That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing Laura!

[@mariavega9440]

Your instructions are the best I've come across. I can't wait to make one of these bags. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@gladtidings4all]

I love it that you put all this information for free! Thanks so much!

[@stephanielee6922]

You make the binding look so easy! I bought clear vinyl today just for this project. I've never used vinyl before so I'm jumping right in! 🤞

[@lauraanderson3675]

If you don’t want to use PUL You can cut fabric strips on the bias to make your binding. It will be stretchy. Also on those curves you can sew at a Scant 1/4” so you can wrap your binding.

[@Jin04115]

Thanks for the tips!

[@usuariacym]

Hi Jess, would you do a tutorial in an Ita bag for pins. There is not much in you tube, I want to make one for my niece’s pins. Love your videos.

[@jessicamarsh9779]

I’ve mad quit a few of these. What I love using for binding is fold over elastic, like what is used for headbands/hair ties. I use the 1in width & it works so good! It’s so easy to do.

[@lisawarnke1641]

Can't wait to try it! I might try fold down elastic for the binding. 😊

[@Jin04115]

I just ordered some multi colored ones from Amazon. Great idea.

[@lisawarnke1641]

@@Jin04115 me too!

[@janellelarson945]

I found using the super slim bendable cutting boards make a great cover for my machine bed so the vinyl won’t stick. Just and FYI. try it mine has a very thin slip resistant back and Since I have the large sewing table for the juki dx5, i tape it to the table top!

[@JulesMadeThis24]

Thank you.. I bought a load of pattern vinyl but have been too scared to try using it! Your tutorial makes a lot of sense so I’ll give it a try!,😊

[@elizabethvallely4044]

Hi Jess, that sure is a real cute bag!!! You are a great teacher thank you so much for your caring and encourage us all!!! Thanks for your great tips! Hugs Liz 🇨🇦

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

A fun and interesting chat to watch and listen to while I hand quilt! Thanks for posting!

[@OklaRoots]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@5eagans]

One of the best step by step videos. The pouch turned out great! Many thanks for sharing!

[@gloriabatty5337]

Just viewing this video now, came across it by searching vinyl pouch bags. I enjoy your videos, including this one, however, I found in my opinion lining isn't necessary, I don't mind seeing the backside of vinyl. I also found the binding is a bit annoying, so I finished the bag using French seams. it's not easy when working with vinyl, just make sure you have a heat gun or blow dryer on hand. Thanks for your tutorials

[@lindap.murphy7535]

I bought PUL yardage. It’s so stretchy I don’t think I need to cut it on the bias. Correct?

[@geraldineself6017]

Well, it is 2:24 am. I can't sleep so guess what I am going to do? If you said make some clear vinyl pouches you are correct! Jess, thank you so much for the pattern and the fabulous tutorial. Have a blessed day full of joy.

[@eunicescott8414]

I made one of these yesterday from another tutorial. I love it, thanks for sharing your version.

[@ChelseaGreen22]

I love this pattern!! I've wanted to make it since you put this video out and I finally sat down and made one today! Now I want to make a bunch more! Thanks so much for an amazing tutorial!!

[@cathysantonacita2430]

So this time I had no binding so I did right sides together, pinked the seams, and it worked!

[@bettymarini8581]

Hi Jess, thanks once again for your excellent tutorial and the free pattern. You definitely have a gift of explaining things. One question please, what PUL fabric did you use. I went on the site to order and I was immediately overwhelmed with the different mils and etc... Would appreciate any help. TIA 🙂

[@conniejennings2356]

Love this tutorial and can't wait to make one! Could you add D-rings and a cross body strap to make this a stadium bag? If so, would to make the zipper shorter and put the D-ring on the top? I may try it out! Any thoughts on that?

[@1960Connie]

This was an awesome tutorial and a super explanation of how to use all the materials. I really enjoyed it and look forward to to making one. Thanks !!!

[@katerinamundy171]

Hi Jess, ione option could be to tack the seam at the zipper down with double sided tape in order to keep it in place and prevent it from shifting and then attach the lining with your double sided tape. Then you can topstitch it ones. Just a suggestion. Katerina

[@Cassdoug1]

Hi Jess, I’m always excited on Monday and Thursday to see what will be posted. I’ve been waiting not so patiently for this pouch. You did not disappoint! Btw, I purchased the Juki TL2010Q a couple of weeks ago. I was having a problem with thread bunching underneath when I began stitching and thought it was a tension problem. I tried everything to no avail. After watching this video, it may be that I need to place a starter fabric when I begin. You give so many helpful tips! I’m trying it first thing this MORNING. I’m so grateful to have this new machine and now I can sew bags like the BIG DOGS! 🙏🏽

[@chrisballard4133]

hold onto the top thread for a couple of stitches

[@mariecrumbaker2076]

Zomg! I have been waiting for something this simple! Made it right away from cotton woven pieces I had already interfaced from other projects. Full cw lining so it was sewn inside out and turned. Thank you, @Oaklaroots!

[@eandm_creations]

These would make great cross stitch bags!

[@Stefanied85]

Can you tell me the height of the clear pouch pattern. I printed mine and it's only 10.75" wide so I'm sure it's not the right height either

[@TheErea51]

Thank you for the links and the tutorial! Can you tell me if the purple stripey vinyl you used on the top of the bag at 1:19 was from one of those shops? I wasn't able to find it when searching. Thank you!

[@chrisdollery5166]

I love your version I might even give it a go .you make it look easy. thank you

[@HopeChandlerSteele]

Jess you are such an inspiration to all of us crafty folks. I just love all your tutorials. I have been wondering where your labels are from. I see your link for your metal ones but not for your sew on ones. I greatly appreciate the info. Many blessings to you! Thank you!!!

[@Britneymphotography88]

These are cute for event like nascar others want small bag to walk in ❤

[@shermainemitchell3952]

I made the large version with cork and vinyl. Let's just ay i just spend a small fortune on the printed vinyl because I'm so excited to make more . I just used wide double folded bias tape. For the next few, I'll make my own bias tape to match the lining. Really excited to give it a try!

[@wendyrodriguez5375]

Where do you order printed vinyl from ❓❓

[@suereese1440]

What a fantastic pattern. Thank you! I didn't realize there were so many varieties of PUL fabric. Does anyone know which type from the Wazoodle site was used for the binding?

[@OklaRoots]

I used the food safe PUL, because that's what I had on hand. But really any of them should work

[@issacandissybresler]

Made cute pouch, loved it for knickknacks.

[@deborahtisa5558]

You do such a great job at explaining everything !!!! Thanks and keep them coming! Wish you had more stuff to purchase!

[@deannawahlman1036]

Can’t wait to watch your KZbin as I use to live in Jax. Fl buy now live in Ky Went to St Augustine every few weeks to shop and eat at neat places down there.

[@bellaann518]

How cool is this. The only thing I knew PUL was for is reusable pads & diapers. They are made the same way just different patterns.

[@Lolafied77]

Dollar tree cutting Matt in kitchen section works great

[@terylyn2]

Thanks Jess they are super cute.

[@SewGigi]

Very fun pattern. Thank you, Jess. I love all the purses you make.

[@valeriewilliams3634]

I can’t wait to try! This kept making me smell the first day of school. Crayons and sharpened pencils. ❤️❤️

[@AlicePowell-b4r]

Can the Pul fabric be used for other parts of this bag? Other bag patterns?

[@mettebay3204]

Just what I needed🙏 perfect tutorial 👏

[@lcrafts5907]

Just found your channel and you are great with your tutorial!!! Looking forward to bingewatch your tutorials!!! 😊👍👌

[@susanabanana2024]

When using P.U.L. for a wet bag, which side should be on the inside of the bag, & is that side considered the fabric or shiny side? I love your tutorials. Thank you for the time & effort you put into each one!

[@sierrasuzy3439]

Shiny side is the right side, fabric is the wrong side.

[@susanabanana2024]

Thank you so much. Does this also mean that the wet side of the bag will be the wrong side?

[@MamaBanana]

The shiny side should be on the inside, that’s the side to help keep the moisture & dirt in. Hope this helps 😀

[@anncaron913]

Hi. Love this bag. What material is the binding?

[@britches__get__stitches]

Hello, I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. Can you tell me where do you get your leather personalized tags made for your projects? I'd love to get some with my own logo. Thanks!

[@michaelchristofas9337]

Jess your the best! Love your videos!

[@vale501]

Wow I love that Stoney Clover!! I also love your channel!!

[@Jin04115]

Newbie here, what would happen if you left out the binding? nevermind you answered at 30:25.

[@dianeschwalm3855]

Great video! I’m going to make this! FYI…. zipper tab fabric Tula Pink Homemade 💕. I can spot her designs, even in little zipper tabs 😁

[@deenster808]

You really are amazing!! Thank you for always sharing with us!!

[@Msesmith2]

I just LOVE your stuff!! Can a beginner brother sewing machine handle this project?

[@anniedumareille6549]

Hello I’m a beginner . Which machine do you have do do this pouch ? I have a singer quilting machine Thanks looks your videos 😀

[@cgfarlow1]

So cute. Love the print vinyl.

[@jessej175]

Thanks Jess! Your videos are always so easy and fun to follow. I love your zipper tape technique! I don't know why I have never tried this before?! I can't wait to make these bags.😊

[@caris13]

Oh my God! So cool. I wouldn't say its a copy cat but inspired by.

[@allyfab4993]

Made 2 today, didn't have any binding but ordered some to arrive on Friday, so can't wait to finish them. Thanks so much for this tutorial. Super jealous of your patterned clear vinyl choices. Only thing i could find here in the UK was glittery clear vinyl so far!

[@NonnaBethsCrafts2Be]

where do you buy your zipper pulls and vinyl?

[@cathysantonacita2430]

Love these Jess!

[@stefanievancoppenhagen391]

I just LOVE LOVE your videos... Can't get enough😜

[@spragit3834]

Thank you for the templates! Can’t wait to make some of these ❤️👍🏻

[@OklaRoots]

Glad you like them!

[@dianneedwardson7098]

Jess, I used one piece of clear vinyl then sewed through a “tube” similar your technique for the NCW.

[@Noskipstitch]

That is so super cute!! 😍 You are amazing 👏 Well done ✔ Thank u so much for sharing this beautiful pattern 😙

[@Bellemorephotography31]

If you didn't want two lines of top stitching, could you use a row of double sided tape to keep the vinyl in place and then another row to keep the quilt cotton in place or would that be too much tape?

[@debbiedempsky8160]

Absolutely LOVE this bag!!!

[@OklaRoots]

Yay! Let me know if you make it!

[@denisebisnett8963]

😁I just re-watched the video and you have already provided the dimensions for the large pouch. Thank you

[@meganda1468]

the site for Pul that you have listed (thank you for that) has 1mil, 2 mil, and 5 mil. Which mil should I get?? And I have never used TEX 35 thread, what is the thread and why are you using this thread??? Thank you so much. I love your videos, please don't stop making them.

[@lindahuber2822]

Where do you buy your Pul from? Thanks

[@kimberlyvandenberg844]

Another great tutorial! I've never thought of using pul as binding, but I think it looks better with the vinyl than cotton. Can't wait to try it out!

[@OklaRoots]

Let me know how it goes!

[@virigniadewitt3062]

Where do I find the templates and the fabric sources

[@terribushnell1145]

Which Pul did you use? there are tons of kinds and just want to make sure I get the correct one. Also can't find the download for the pattern.

[@renepellissier2193]

Thanks for sharing. Love your makes..I always admire the white pouch with the pink plush top...have you ever done a tutorial on that?

[@OklaRoots]

Not yet! It's a modified snack bag using some super fluffy fabric. Difficult to work with, but so cute!

[@rcalsman8734]

I would love this pattern to make a few for gifts, but I get a lot of junk stuff and cannot get into where the download is. I do not want to give my email to a lot of different things so can you tell me a simpler way of getting this cute pattern or at least the templates for them. Thanks Jess so much!

[@ms.maureen2925]

I love this! 😍 Your clear print vinyls are great!

[@BJ7481]

Thank you. Great tutorial!

[@jespoke]

This is a random question but what size watch do you wear? Love love your videos

[@janellelarson945]

I also could not find the pdf you said was free on your website?

[@sarahmd5442]

This is great! Thank you for sharing this🙂 Cute, fun and so useful🙂 as always thank you and stay well

[@janeblazer8034]

I’ve never used Pul fabric…. How durable is it? Since it’s on a utility type pouch, I’m thinking how it will wear?

[@alysonsneyd3401]

Great project! Thanks!

[@Dr.Topher]

I’m where/when I could use PUL fabric other than reusable snack bags and binding. Any suggestions?

[@Atheenah]

You may have mentioned this but where did you get your leather bag tag? I couldn’t see the link in the description. I probably missed it.

[@burkies8273]

Yours are WAAAAY better!

[@katharina4407]

HI, can we not sew the front and back panels first. 1st step is then to sew three layers 1. Cotton lining / 2. Clear vinyl / 3. Outer vinyl - fold and top stitch. And then use the whole panel to attach to zipper.

[@titipiggy2208]

Love your videos ! Thank you for making them easy ., can you please make one on the clear travel pouch from stoney clover 🙋🏻‍♀️ thanks

[@SewingSistahs]

You’re inspiring me to get back to vinyl. I have cut pieces ready to sew just rectangular bags.

[@sharonhunter8430]

Where are the patterns for the clear vinyl walkthrough please. Thanks jess

[@LebecEgirlSews]

Very cute! Where did you order your labels from?

[@janwebster3749]

Love it and just love all your tutorials they so inspiring and such fun to watch your energy is infectious. Thank you so much can’t wait to have a go, all have to do is find all the materials her in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 you have so much in the US. 👍🪡🧵

[@schisandra]

For method #2, to help flatten the vinyl fold, could you use double-sided tape? In other words, put tape on both sides of the seam allowance - below (next to itself) as well as above (next to the cotton, as you showed). Or would two layers of tape be too much for the needle to go through? (28:23)

[@OklaRoots]

You can definitely do that! Just make sure to use tape that doesn't gum up your needle (or use a really strong needle)

[@HtMamacita]

Where did you get the clear poison apples? Just love them! I'm only finding the textured .
