[@auntdee9678]

NO ZIPPER TABS????YAY!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL. YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT TEACHER!!!!

[@yvonnepflanitzer777]

For me the best description for zipperbags. Thank you.

[@beadmomma4]

I love your tutorials. You're a terrific teacher. I have made so many bags just from watching you. Thank you.

[@jacquelineshewring503]

After watching your lovely video I have today made a zipper pouch for my 8 year old granddaughter to go with her matching quilt. . So thank you for sharing . Uk

[@jemapark4947]

Thanks!

[@angelcargle425]

i never, ever comment on videos but this was such great one that I had to!! Great job!! I have watched a zilion videos to find how to make the perfect stand up zipper pouch and this is it! Many of the tutorials required a pattern or required that I cut the corners and sew strategically around the cuts, creating unnecessary work and time. Keep up the good work! Sew on sister!

[@angelcargle425]

You had me with the cat, by the way.

[@suejameson1517]

So good. I just made a pouch thinking I knew how to do it but I’m using this method for the second one. I tried a zipper tab but it was just too thick. Thank you, yet again!

[@grannyscookies6140]

Hello I love your videos, you go straight to the project with no long story before and they are all easy

[@elaineconsolato5212]

Thank you so much for your awesome teaching!! I finally did a zipper because you took the fear out of doing it! My bag turned out so cute!

[@406xstitch]

I've only been sewing a short time and this was maybe the 4th pattern i've tried. I'm really surprised it turned out! thanks for easy tutorials

[@cherylharris775]

Hi Erica. Just love your bag tutorials and would also love to see a bag tutorial using a lace zipper. I have lace zippers and have searched youtube for tutorials and they are limited. Thanks bunches for your "tutes"! Have a great weekend.

[@margiedavis8161]

I will make this bag. the way you easily put the zipper is is great. what a super tutorial you gave, perfect..Thank you!!

[@faithmoore8903]

I love your tutorials, Erica! Maybe now that it is Summer we will get more! Your tutorials are so easy to understand and turn out a professional looking project. God bless your household.

[@2kidsinutah]

I totally agree, my illness makes me very scatter brained and I find her instructions VERY easy to follow

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

@@2kidsinutah bless your heart, I'm the same, my brain is a tad foggy, so love her indepth tutorials.

[@neelofersaeed3465]

Superb. So far, your tutorial is the best. Steps are very clear and detailed.

[@Sus9011]

I'm new to quilting ... literally 2 weeks ... and I've tried most of your different styles of bag now! I love that you're teaching us lots of mix and match ideas. Thank you so much, Erica, all the way from Wales, UK. (PS. Going to upgrade my cheap sewing machine now so I can really get stuck in.)

[@baseballquilter8984]

I made 4 of these (so far) and I love all of them. My first one I used the same size scraps as you did Erica. The 3 bags after I used a honey bun. They came out just as nice! The quilting did take some time but, totally worth it. Thank you for teaching me how to sew a zipper on! You are the best! Please keep up the tutorials for small projects like this.

[@luvsnursing9946]

Your videos are excellent. You are a great teacher

[@donnaherring2281]

I love watching your tutorials! You make these projects so doable for the novice! Thank you so much!

[@aniaemge]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! I already made one with you but this will be next! You are great teacher who gives a lot of confidence. Thanks for showing how to use zipper foot. It came with my machine and I didn’t know how to use it!

[@SherrysSheShedSewing]

I have watched about 25 tutorials on making pouches and this one is by far the BEST!!! Your directions are clear and precise. I will no longer fear the Zipper! :)

[@patriciakasmarek6680]

I love your tutorials. They are so clear and easy to follow. I’m going to try this project this weekend as I’ve wanted to make a bag with a zipper nut have been scared of messing up. Thank you!

[@melissaflores3776]

I’ve made a few of your EASY tutorials... lol sure but even so I enjoy making my projects inspired by you! Whew! One down one more to go! Thanks!

[@dianecfromny3912]

I made one from your tutorial, but didn't box the corners to it for a change and really like how it turned out. Thank you!!

[@laurastanaway4972]

Thank you I made this bag and am going to make more. The instructions for or me, beginner, was easy to follow. The only issue in I had was when sewing all around and zipper placement . My zipper I bought was probably too large . Next time will use one with smaller teeth. Thanks for the lesson

[@bethbilous4720]

Erica, I just finished my first one of these pouches. Let me day its first one of all I made that came out perfect. Thank you so much.

[@ryan1101232]

Everything you make is adorable. I’m loving learning the quilt as you go!

[@mommyhobbs48]

Sew fun! I will be making several of these for my gal pals as a gift on our retreat to my family’s cabin. 30 plus years of getting away together!

[@prachiverma2690]

In all your videos I love the fabrics you use.

[@brendagray3220]

Hi Erica. I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I just love it. You have such a fresh look about you and the background behind you is so refreshing. Love the bag. Just subscribed. Love all of your tutorials.

[@kathyworkman1678]

❤ love this bag I am going to make it and use it for a purse. Your directions are easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your talent

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Thank you so much. You make it look like I can do it. You are a very good instructor. The bag is very cute.

[@baseballquilter8984]

I have made more recently for a birthday present for my mother-in-law. I made 2 of them. I followed the cutting directions for the first one. The second one I didn't cut down my jelly roll strips. I even left the pinked edges. I noticed the difference when not cutting down at all and leaving my strips at 2.5" the bag comes out wider as opposed to taller and narrow, if that makes any sense.🙃 They both came out great. 🥰

[@AndreaLittle]

i was so afraid of zippers, now i feel like i can try them! thank so much for making this and sharing your pattern!

[@KetogenicKim]

I was literally thinking the same thing! ☺️👍

[@brendaahrens6042]

very cute bag. very easy to follow your steps and explanation - new to sewing very helpful. thanks for sharing will be making some to sell and as gifts!

[@loiscasey1338]

Thanks! I’m afraid of zippers and I’m going to try this. You make it look easy.

[@suzannetreece3039]

Excellent video. Clear, easy to follow. Simple.

[@annehooser2731]

Loved this! Wish I could post a picture of my finished project! First zipper! Your tutorial was perfect !

[@JenniferGreene321]

Made this today and lots of improvements from my first bag. Great tips and explanations.

[@angelakaymcglasson]

Just finished this bag and I love it. Thank you for the great tutorial!!

[@bethbilous4720]

Lovely, and what a good teacher for this project.

[@catherinegill9217]

This is a fabulous tutorial for those who have made bags or beginners. Easy to follow and your voice is so pleasant. I'm going to pull out some orphan jelly roll strips.

[@KetogenicKim]

Another great tutorial thank you so much! I especially loved the kitty bathing in the background😸🐾🧶

[@colleenisaac8621]

I loved this KZbin, as usual! Your instructions are very clear and I even watched it without sound as my grandson was sleeping! I can’t wait to try this one. I need to listen though, to find out your take on the new box ruler!

[@esthervanheerden1626]

Love to watch your videos. Made my own yesterday after watching the video!

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

Your kitty in the background...so cute!!

[@annbrixey3155]

Thanks Erica, I keep coming back to this pattern and making more.

[@elizabethmatthewhale494]

Thank you! I just made one to use as a makeup bag. Quick and easy as promised. Clear instructions.

[@maplelassuk]

Great tutorial for this super pouch! The only change I would make is the boxing method as I prefer the cut out square way, I like to see the seams matching...but this is a very beginner friendly and pretty pouch! Thanks Erica. X

[@erica_arndt]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll do that technique in my next tutorial :)

[@maplelassuk]

Erica Arndt , you're a great teacher so I'm sure it will help all your subscribers add to their skills. ❤️My granddaughters love this pouch and want to make one, they find the squares easier too, but it's great to know both methods!

[@angelcargle425]

@@erica_arndt I actually prefer this boxing method over the cut out square way. You taught me to cut on the 45 degree angle. I realized that I had a clear cutting ruler that provided the diagram... it gave the option to cut it at several different inches. I had never used it before this video!

[@elsiebaxter8094]

I just found you! So fun. So easy. I will definitely make these for my granddaughter’s. Thank you little one.

[@pamketron]

I love these bags. I have one for about everything. They come in handy to use for keeping a project pieces together. Thanks for sharing a new one. 🐱🐾🐶

[@karencvicknair3645]

Hi I like the bag! And like the way you do the box corners, other patterns say to cut a square then u piece together and sew but I think I like your method

[@erica_arndt]

Both work okay, but I prefer my method. Sometimes I have troubles cutting the corners exactly LOL! :)

[@Grammanonna1957]

You always make the most beautiful things…so easy to follow and youre such a ray of sunshine to watch! Thank you. God bless❤️

[@tillyswansea3137]

So pleased with my latest bag following your video. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and skill

[@cherylgorecki2064]

Again another great project!!! I have the same Gingher Scissors with the same pattern. LOVE THEM! It’s like cutting butter. So smooth.

[@maryrogers5307]

This is a wonderful tutorial. I have been looking for just this kind of pattern for a fast, easy zippered pouch. I can't wait to get started and use up some of my strip stash. Thanks Erica.

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

I made one, and even managed the zip ok!

[@diannaw8209]

I can’t believe how big Jax has gotten since you guys got him at the beginning of your Vlogmas. He is still fun to watch.

[@gayent01]

thanks for the tutorial I had been keeping my scraps but just couldnt work out what to do with them as I am still learning.Ooh I thought I could add a picture of the finished product but doesnt look like it. Cheers

[@barbhobo2]

Thank you so much. Just made first pouch with my scrappy material. First time working with a zipper also. I also agree with grannyscookies6140 you go straight to the point. Again thank you now I can use up some of my scrappy material. I use a lot of small crumbs for my scrappy material so it is really cool to see so many prints on my pouch. :)

[@peggydelacerda599]

I DID IT😃 thank goodness ! You’re a great teacher 🌺

Best zipper tutorial ever! Thank you so much!

[@carolcurtis2220]

The fabric makes it. Love it👍🏻😊

[@7470pc]

Thank you for making me realize that even I can make this .. I am such a klutz when it comes to adding a zipper in anything ....but you have explained it so well that I think I will be giving this bag a try...... thank you so much 💕🤗💕

[@melissaflores3776]

One question 🙋🏻‍♀️ do we see at a 1/4 in or 1/2” seam allowance when we see the side edges during the step when we add the small handle/ strap?

[@erica_arndt]

I always use a 1/4" seam allowance because I'm a quilter, but you can use a 1/2" seam allowance as well, it will just make your bag a tad smaller :)

[@loismeyer6851]

I loved this, how difficult would it be to put tabs on the zipper? Just wondering...

[@erica_arndt]

Not difficult at all! Just trim the zipper 1/2" shorter than the fabric panels, and add your tabs. Next, sew it together as shown in the video :)

[@samanthaneal4352]

Explains everything really well 👍

This bag is so cute ! I love the pattern and you make the tutorials so easy. Thank you Erica! please keep them coming💖

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

Can I use non woven fusible interfacing instead? Great bag, I have batting but thought maybe interfacing might give it more body?

[@erica_arndt]

Sure!

[@Michelle-xk2vt]

Great little bag ❤️

[@VintageToNew]

Really cute bag and great tutorial.

What foot are you using on your machine in this video? I am new to sewing and your foot looks different/smaller or more narrow than the one I have.

[@SueZeeQue]

Would really be nice to know the size of the lining pieces. I guess 13.5 plus another 1/4” for seam allowance????

[@tiffanymerrell3197]

Beautiful!!! What name of sew machine do you have?
