Love the idea and design of not having a seam on one side. Thank you for your detailed tutorial which is so so helpful when we are trying to make it.

Thank you again for sharing your expertise with us.😊

this really was great and fast - I had a major fail though at properly sewing the zipper - I had an open gap between the edge seem and the extra 1.5 inches of zipper - so I reworked it and just closed it all in with no tab at the end of the zipper..after rewatching the video I think I see what I did wrong..can't wait to try this again..thanks for sharing..

I have made a lot of zipper pouches and tried many different zipper methods. I can't wait to try your method. I don't have an industrial sewing machine and find that sewing the side seams with the zipper inside to be very hard on my machine and on my nerves!!! I know the pouches will turn out very professional with your wonderful method! I am going to make the front panel from EPP hexagons so this is perfect in that I will not have to deal with one of the sides. I can adjust it to the length I will need to make the seamed side look nice. Thank you for your very easy to follow tutorial.

[@justynathandmade]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, this is exactly why I came out with this method. I’m glad you find it helpful.

[@1955dmb]

@@justynathandmade Zipper pouches are so handy and I enjoy giving them as gifts. I'm going to make one tomorrow because I can't wait to make one and it will take awhile to get my hexagon panel made. I learned the Butler method of installing zippers where you pull the zipper into the seam on one side, but then you still have to deal with the other side. You have really simplified zipper pouches. I also learned to sew the seam allowance in the lining 1/4" larger and that makes it fit so much better. One other little trick I learned in sewing the lining is also helpful. Where you leave the 4" opening for turning, instead of just backstitching on each end of the opening, I back stitch and then make a 90 degree turn and sew down the 1/2" to the edge of the lining piece. It makes it easier after turning to get the opening to line up nicely so that you can sew it much closer to the fold. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, thanks again!

[@lindadavis6193]

Love little pouch. Could you box outside and king together so lining stays down?

[@justynathandmade]

You could box using a French seam technique, lining and outer together.

[@maryannnewsham7714]

This looks like a very simple pouch to assemble. I have never really attached the zipper pull back on real successfully but I now have a zipper jig. I am looking forward to making this pouch. That is a beautiful fabric choice, did you purchase that recently?

[@justynathandmade]

Thank you. I purchase the fabric a while back from Walmart, I posted the link in previous comments, so you can check if it’s still available. 🤞🏻

[@annalaoretti5240]

I’m so excited to try this! Any reason why we couldn’t top stitch before we stitch around the outside? Or does that make the lining wonky?

[@justynathandmade]

If you topstitch before sewing the side seam it make is harder to match the top seam. You would have to leave at lease 1/2" on each side without topstitching. I think leaving topstitching for later give a better result.

[@annalaoretti5240]

[@debbiethomas5518]

O love this method! Can you explain where I could add a wristlet strap?

[@annabassett2426]

Thank you SO MUCH for this!! I'm in a pinch and need to find a zippered 11" bag. If I do this and it to be bigger, how would I adjust the measurements of fabric? So for instance, if I need a finished bag of 11" x 10" would I just double those measurements twice?

[@justynathandmade]

You need to add the difference of the measurement to the finished size of the project. So if you need 11”W you need to add 7” to the W and to get 10”T add 5.5” to T. I hope that will be as close as possible to what you need.

[@nancyjones8652]

Justyna-what a beautiful pouch! Is it possible to use a regular zipper with the end sewn to the folded side and opening/top of the zipper at the side seam?

[@justynathandmade]

Thank you! If you want to use “ready-made” zipper, you would have to cut the end and split it. You can sew in both sides, folding the “beginning ends” of the zipper at the half point. So you tape wouldn’t be continuous, but you could still take the panels from one piece of fabric.

Hello I made the pouch. But I having problems the zipper is no closing. I made the zipper pull at Amazon they were saying it was for dress zippers. That is what I am using. I am sad I can get the final product. Any help ? Please!!!!

[@justynathandmade]

You have to make sure the zipper tape and zipper pull are the same size. I use zipper tape #5 and pull #5. The zipper by-the-yard are usually double-sided. That means you can insert the pull from either way. Here is a link to a zipper tape I use - www.amazon.com/dp/B0B82LL57V/ref=as_sl_pc_as_ss_li_til?tag=justynathan03-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=7886bc4047141a1cca546bb7d26afbf1&creativeASIN=B0B82LL57V

Also, you can try to make the zipper pull tighter, by squeezing it together.

[@lfuentes4098]

Does any type of zipper work or just coil zippers?

Is the zipper folded in half horizontally facing down? Try kindly

[@justynathandmade]

I don’t really understand your question. The zipper is facing down on the right size of the outer fabric. It’s not sewn in into the side seam, so it doesn’t matter is up or down when folded horizontally.
