Many years ago when my kids were in school I made something similar but added grommets to clip into their binder! Just an idea! Love your work!!

[@silvershandiin]

Wow! This video blew my mind because the way you explain it- so simple! I’ve worked with zippers before but I never really understood how to make a pouch. I never knew it was this easy!!!! Your sewing videos are THE BEST!!!!

[@lindatonkin3802]

Thelma writes: Erica, so sorry to hear you still have broken elbow. Hope it mends properly soon. I love your video on this cute pencil case, something a little different than quilting, mind you, I do love your quilting videos too. I made myself a QAYG travel case following your instruction on your orevious video and I made it slightly bigger, just slightly. I happened to have fusible foam on hand so I decided to use it to make the QAYG travel case. I am very pleased with the out come. Well done job on this pencil case, Erica. Always love watching your videos. ❤ 😍

Thanks as always! Get better soon! xo tina

[@candydaniels2779]

I used your tutorial and made a pouch for cross stitch supplies to keep in my vinyl front project bag. I’m always afraid my scissors will poke the vinyl. The tutorial was so easy and my pouch turned out so cute. Thanks for this tutorial and the others you provide. ❤️

[@kathysnavely1802]

Thank you for tutorial. It’s very nice.

[@sharonwilson8208]

On some of my pouches, I've sewn a tab with a D-ring, or O-ring to clip inside any tote bag or a 3-ring binder. Most kids don't use binders anymore, but there's usually something to clip it to inside their backpacks/book bags. I've even sewn a wristlet to a few. Those were usually purchased for project bags/car bags

[@yoandromeda]

I needed this thank you, making it on the weekend 🙌

[@kathydunn8244]

Super cute😍

[@marykatecurtis9557]

So cute and easy thanks 😊

[@noeliaroman4]

Love it!❤

[@barbarakuklenski6550]

Great video

[@tamdobson3079]

I love it,thank you.

[@nicolejarvis9767]

What is the quilters foam you use for the pouches as the stabilizer? Did not see it in the suggested links. Another great tutorial. Thank you.

[@dollysadlak5242]

Love it❤ thank you 😊

[@NikMarRita]

What a cute pouch!! I’m definitely making a few of those. Also, I wanted to ask if quilting can be done with Tex 70 thread and size 18 needle? I have an industrial for bag making but it would be great if I could quilt on it too since my domestic is difficult for quilting. If you (or anyone in the chat) have any recommendations I’d really appreciate it! I can’t find answers anywhere on the internet.

[@Mar_Moño]

You put all the supplies in the description box except the fusible foam, I'm a beginner so that's important to me. Now I have to Google about fusible foam. Cute pouch and I'm trying to do it.

[@Mar_Moño]

I made my pencil pouch and it came out so cute..i wish I could post a picture on the comments, thank you, and made a quick trip to Walmart to buy the foam stabilizer..so many to choose.

[@erica_arndt]

Hi, the fusible foam information is below the video in the "show more" area. You can use any type of interfacing you like, the foam is nice because it's fusible and also a little squishy :)

[@barbaramullen7823]

Great job Erica and gals! What’s the name of that fabric is it still available?

[@berthapotter2548]

O have a question I have been cutting fabric to your instructions my back and lining fit fine the part woth zipper is to short have to cut the back and front to line up I really like making these what am I doing wrong for the one woth zipper not lining up

[@karenraabis5296]

Can I ask what kind of fusible foam you used. I guess brand name?

[@ivelissebouet9563]

I love it! Thanks for sharing your great easy to follow tutorials. I can’t wait to watch vlogmas 🤩 My daughter más I love them 😍 Quick question: the fabric collection are you using? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@beckymendoza6307]

Ok. I have a ton of scrap batting…can i use this instead? Would mean i have to quilt it. it’s for a kindergarten class goodie bag

[@erica_arndt]

Of course! I use my scrap batting all of the time!

[@lindadow6389]

Great tutorial! Just one question. Did you use a nylon zipper? I was just surprised to see you put a hot iron on it. I thought the nylon zipper would melt under the heat.

[@leeleedel71]

Hi Erica. Hope your healing up nicely! What kind of fusible foam do you use and do you like it better than fusible fleece? I normally use fusible fleece for my bags or home decor type things but I would like to have another option in case I can't get it. I've heard Soft and Stable is really good but I haven't used it yet. Thanks!! LeeAnne

[@ebgordon]

I’m wondering the same!

[@brianhoover8414]

Is it fusible foam or fleece?

[@tracyeckhardt6817]

So cute I have double sided fusible foam I bet that won’t work huh

[@baseballquilter8984]

Very cute Erica! I can't wait to make one and I also have ricrac I can use. Thank you!
