FREE PATTERN ~ How to Sew a Super Easy BOXED ZIPPER POUCH | new, easy way of boxing corners

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Main Exterior: (2) - 5.5'' tall x 10'' wide panels
Contrasting Exterior Strip: (2) - 1'' tall x 10'' wide strip
Lining: (2) - 6'' tall x 10'' wide panels
Inner Binding: (2) - 1 3/4'' x 5'' strips
Interfacing Cut: (2) - 5.5'' tall x 10'' wide panels
(2) - 1'' tall x 10'' wide strip
(2) - 6'' tall x 10'' wide panels
YOU WILL ALSO NEED:
(2) - 2'' long ribbons
(1) - 9'' long metal or nylon zipper
NOTES:
I used quilting cotton for the exterior as well as the lining of the pouch.
I also used Pellon SF101 interfacing which is my favorite but I'd recommend you use Pellon Fusible Fleece if you prefer a pouch with a bit more structure.
I'm using my Juki TL2000 Qi sewing machine.

I’m a very beginner beginner and your tutorials and patterns are saving me!!!

[@quiltedclothdesigns]

This is the best box zipper pouch tutorial I have found. Genius!!!

[@sotakhandmade]

Wow, thank you!

[@annagonzalez5549]

Sotak has the BEST videos and patterns for making bags and pouches. She is Excellent!!!!!

[@connierankin6015]

I have watched a lot of pouch tutorials but the ones by Sotak are the best I have seen, concise and very easy with added professional style finishes like bound exposed seams and other tips

[@TheLolacook50]

She is the best teacher /instructor, so far I have viewed online. Thank you ,,❤️😊

[@MargieDuerr]

I agree with the other commenters. Your videos are clear and concise and SO EASY to understand. I just popped over to your etsy shop and bought a bunch of patterns. I can't wait to start sewing tomorrow! GREAT videos!! Keep up the good work!

[@kathleenamatangelo3713]

From one sewing teacher to another, you are an excellent teacher :)

[@uniquewhimsy622]

The best on KZbin for sure!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@W124phreak]

Excellent tutorial, no unnecessary chatting and I love those Cotton + Steel Bears! ❤

[@sotakhandmade]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@4everprosperity]

Finally, a zipper pouch tutorial that is easy to follow. Thank You!

[@sotakhandmade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tarapreston8986]

I made this and it's just perfect. This is my fourth Sotak pattern purchase. Really appreciate the vid tutorial.

[@sotakhandmade]

Great to hear!

[@angelac273]

I have never seen this before, where you don’t cut and box the corners!! I absolutely love it! You make binding look so simple too!

[@thestruds]

Great make thanks 🧵✔️

[@roxaneherbert6637]

With every tutorial you share you show us your process, your best sewing tips and skills, your colour style, so we can become better at this craft that we love. Thanks for saving many from going stir crazy.

[@sotakhandmade]

My pleasure 😊

[@alida1031]

I love your tutorials you explain things so well. I real like your ribbon. Where do you purchase your ribbon?

[@stoneblue1795]

Well done, as others have indicated, this tutorial is different because you don't have to cut corners or manipulate "triangles" to be cut before forming the bag. Thanks.

[@sharonasmith1110]

Putting the batting inside and steaming it was brilliant!

[@maryanncreamer]

I have many of your patterns and I love your tutorials!!! Thank you!!!🩷

[@sotakhandmade]

Glad you like them!

[@juliajones5948]

I really like this bag. In making it I wish that you had recommended larger seam allowances. You have to be close to perfect to make it work. This pattern taught me why bag making typically has larger seam allowances than quilting. That said this was a great tutorial and I will try to make it again.

[@nic4228]

Love the way you show how its done, your explanations for each step are so easy to follow. The videos are well lit and filmed so its so crisp and clear to watch, thank you for the effort and work you put in.

[@kimmedved3628]

Thank you for the tutorial. I’m definitely making this tomorrow. I’ve never seen one made without cutting the corners. I’m very excited to try this!! Please keep these tutorials coming!

[@boodan143]

Yahoo! Finally a tutorial that REALLY is beginner friendly. I made one correctly on my first try!!!! My question - how can I adjust pattern to make small, medium, & large boxy bags using THIS technique? Mega thanks😘

[@teixeirathomas8960]

Very neatly done.I like that you didn't just throw the pouch together.You took the time to do it properly and pressing along the way.

[@Cstarsmoon]

Your tutorials are great. Easy to follow , no rushing & instructions are well explain.

[@sotakhandmade]

Glad you think so!

[@jennyschultz1938]

You are a WONDERFUL teacher! I would love to watch more tutorials. Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@lmorgan1028]

I have made many pouches, this is the BEST boxed pouch tutorial I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to make yours! Thank you so much for sharing

[@sotakhandmade]

Wow, thank you!

[@augustaporter3735]

You make everything look so easy. I have got to make my 13 year old grandson one in male colors. He will be 13 in a few days and I will put some money inside.

[@doria5978]

Thank you so much for this great pattern. I’m a beginner and had no trouble with it. Used a 12” zip and just trimmed it down. It turned out really cute. Now I’m off to your website to shop :)

[@sotakhandmade]

Wonderful!

[@carolinekeeshen305]

Oh wow this is the cutest thing that I've ever made! It's so versatile too, I'm sure this will be my go-to gift this year

[@tinagiaramita9486]

I love your method of boxing the corners without any cutting and binding the raw edges - it comes out more even and more polished and professional looking! I'm so glad I found your videos, and I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing your talent and time!

[@sotakhandmade]

Thanks so much!

[@jenniferjakubec6921]

Thank you so much for your fantastic videos. I’m am learning to sew and I have enjoyed making many of your projects including those from your wonderful book.

[@seam2sew]

I have been looking for this style for over a year, and here it is! Thank you!

[@hannahharper-merrett36]

Thank you for this terrific tutorial, Svetlana :-) Despite years of quilting, today was my first day working with zippers. I am really happy with my little box pouch… thanks to you!

[@sotakhandmade]

Wonderful!

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Love this, thank you! The accent fabric by the zipper & how you bind the lining is beautiful! It is great to be able to use 10" x 10" squares for this.

[@sotakhandmade]

Thank you so much!

[@annagonzalez5549]

You are the best teacher. I just love learning from you. You explain everything perfectly. Thank you so very much for making these videos. 🥰

[@gaylesjourneyofprojects]

Thank you for this tutorial . I have not seen the corner done this way. I am excited to try this method.

[@irenee8051]

Love this! Thank you for the tutorials. You explain and show every step 👍🏼 especially for a visual learner like myself. I will be making this one for sure. I just finished making your other great pattern the Montana tote. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us 😊

[@rechelleivy9350]

[@debbiewood5659]

This pattern is BRILLIANT! Thanks so much for this tutorial--- perfection! 💞

[@lovelygirl1730]

Great video great teaching great project very beautiful

[@hoodieninja70]

I purchased your Boxy Tool Pouch pattern (which is similar to this, but better IMO) and just made one for my husband to replace the toiletry bag he has had for years. I used waxed canvas for the exterior and ripstop nylon for the interior and it turned out perfectly! I didn't use any interfacing since the waxed canvas can't be ironed and it's got enough form on its own.

[@gwensmith7024]

I’ve never seen this technique of not boxing the corners and I like it with the binding. Need to try this technique. Super cute pouch!

[@sotakhandmade]

Glad you liked it!!

[@connieglenn9064]

Love this! Could anyone advise how to enlarge this. For example if i wanted a bigger Dopp kit for a man, like 10” long, 6” wide, and 4” high, what size do the main panels need to be?

[@jeannegennaro4482]

GREAT JOB again! I love how everything is all finished nicely on the inside! 👍

Absolutely gorgeous gift idea thank you 🙏

[@sotakhandmade]

You are so welcome

[@debrastrand1245]

Love your tutorials! It’s great to see new ways to do things. I am wondering why you topstitched this pouch through both the exterior and lining fabric but didn’t for your zipper pouch with zipper tabs.

[@virginia6629]

I was wondering the same @sotakhandmade
