Please cut out 1" squares on from the bottoms of the lining after shaving the sides 1/4". What do you think of this method of sewing in a zipper and making a pouch? Happy Sewing🙂

I am a beginner sewist and love your videos! Your instructions and videos are very clear and concise. I am learning so many tips and tricks from you such as pivoting at the recessed corners and at the zipper teeth rather than stopping and cutting my threads and then restarting. Lol. On my very first project (before I watched your video), I made the mistake of sewing on the teeth and broker a needle. I won't be making that mistake again!

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks for your kind words😊🙏

[@PCOH051610]

Detailed without being boring, informative without being overwhelming and most of all interesting! I’ve never sewn with vinyl but you make it seem doable. By the way, cutting that curve into the sides of the lining gave me such an “ah ha” moment! Genius!

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks so much!

[@rosalindhb]

You are the first person to say what direction the zipper should go when sewing around the pouch. That always confused me. Than you!

Superb video of stitching a simple pouch. I used to be confused about which side should the zipper teeth be, when the sides of the main fabric and lining are stitched.This doubt is cleared in this video @ approx. @ 4:50 to 5:10 minutes. I got soo many useful tips. Thanks a lot for sharing your skills.

I believe I have tried every zipper application that has ever been conceived. Except for yours. I tried yours today and I will say that I like it the best. I don't like tabs, the butler method is a little too detailed and most other methods don't give you nice curved sides. So thank you for demonstrating this. It is definitely my go-to zipper application from now on. 🪡🧵

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks for watching . I’m not a fan of tabs either. I like the top to open nice and wide. I’ll have more methods soon😊

[@now.m26]

Great & informative video, can't wait to try this method! If I don't have a separating zipper, any tips on sewing? Or just follow the instructions as the video best I can?

[@NotchesSewing]

you can just use a zipper that’s about 2” longer and you can trim away the top and bottom stoppers

[@Calgary27]

I am always excited to see a new video as I can't wait to learn from you. I appreciate that you have done your homework, tried many approaches to be able to save me time and effort by recommending solid methods and order of operations!

Love this technique for a wide zipper opening without doing zipper tabs. Definitely will try it this week! Do you think the opening of the zipper at the ends will be affected if I topstitch the exterior fabric? I noticed you only topstitched the lining.

[@NotchesSewing]

If you topstitch the outer layer first, you won’t be able to push the teeth in correct direction for the rounded corners. (I personally do not like topstitching on the outer layer)

[@jennyliao1476]

That makes total sense. I knew you had to have a reason - brilliant! Thank you for another great tutorial!

[@petgiam1156]

Thank you - I"ve been tearing my hair out trying to get nice corners for this kind of pouch. One question - I've been making simple fabric coin pouches that's embroidered and I then iron on fusible interfacing. Therefore, there's no lining. How do you suggest I top stitch this after sewing in the zipper? I understand top stitching the outside fabric is the culprit of ugly looking corners. Looking forward to your other video with this technique.

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you for watching. Have you tried making with this very method using the interfacing as the lining?

[@jennyliao1476]

Great video, as always! Is there a reason the zipper should be 1/4” down from the exterior fabric? Does that help with getting the zipper corners turned out?

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks so much. You don't have to add the extra seam but it helps the vinyl sit flatter along the seam.

[@jennyliao1476]

Thank you so much! You always have the best tips!!

[@mitch8346]

Great tutorial! Question: Did you forget to show adding the 1" box corner cutouts for the liner? Would those be added after the 1/4" cut up the sides?

[@NotchesSewing]

Wow you are the first person to notice this! Sorry I accidentally edited it out. Yes cut out the 1” squares after shaving off the ¼”. Thanks!

[@patanco13]

How you constructed this pouch just had me spellbound! I get why you trim the lining seam, but what is the reason for dropping the zipper down from edge on the outside (pink) ?

[@NotchesSewing]

Making pouch without tab ends gives you a wider opening. You can unzip right to the edge. Also no need to fiddle with small pieces of fabric if you find that difficult. Thanks for watching.

[@ashleymcveigh9648]

Thank you so much for this clear tutorial! I just subscribed:) Question- could this method work if I didn’t want to use a liner (if I was using jelly fabric, for example)? If so, I imagine I would just start sewing after the zipper teeth (same idea, just no lining fabric)…

[@NotchesSewing]

Yes you can but you will see the raw cut ends of the zip tape. But you can ad tabs to them on the inside for a nice finish. I have a couple of tutorials for simple zip tabs on my channel😊. Thanks for subscribing! I will have a new video out later today too with more household item sewing room hacks.

[@ashleymcveigh9648]

Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I will surely look out for your new content!!!!

Hi Angela, what is the difference between pointing the zipper towards the outer fabrics than pointing it to the lining fabric. Will the end result be significantly different? Thank you 🙏

[@Sassy-zn3ii]

Thank you for the tutorial. A question, why are you sewing a 1/4'' below edge of vinyl? Does that make a difference? I have embroidered my faux leather and I don't have the extra 1/4'' available due to how I need to centre back and front pieces.

[@NotchesSewing]

Because I am not using a zipper foot with this project, it just gives me a bit more seam allowance so that the topstitching on the lining has something to sew onto. You don’t have to add the extra ¼” if you don’t want to.

One more thing to add, could you explain the differences in zippers? I don’t know the difference between a #3 and #5. What number is a dressmaker’s zipper?

[@NotchesSewing]

dress zippers are size #3 as well. The number is the measurement in mm between edges of the teeth. #3 is lightweight good for pants, skirts, small pouches, inside pockets of bags. #5 is medium weight - good for jackets and heavier bags. Lots of good articles about zipper types if you google it.

I can only guess that you are not pulling fabric flat or not clipping evenly? Maybe try sewing the end sections first to hold in place and go back all around. Just unpick the sides and redo.
