Thank you. You have a very nice voice to listen to. I can't listen to others that have a high pitch voice. Thank you again from a 74 year old

[@SookieSews]

Thank you so much :) made my day!

[@crystalbennett1069]

I’ve been sewing things for years on an as-needed basis, but have always avoided anything with zippers because I didn’t fully understand how to sew them. I’ve watched other instructional videos and still got lost. Yours was the only one I’ve seen that actually makes me want to sew something with a zipper! Thank you so much for your excellent descriptions. 😊

[@SookieSews]

Thanks for stopping by and saying something nice. I’m so glad it has helped.

I’ve been sewing things for years. I have a really nice Bernina, but it has been in the closet for years. I really need to " re familiarize" myself with the machine. ololol I did make a few items with a zipper but that was YEARS ago. I need a refresher course & I’ve watched other instructional videos and still got lost because they sped up the video. Yours was the only one I’ve seen that actually makes me want to watch all the way through. I wanted to make a whole bag for a trip that I am taking and a nice one for my son's wedding in April. I have time over the holidays since I will be home & I am going to do yours first & follow the step by step instructions. Thank you so much for your excellent descriptions

[@SookieSews]

Thank you for a great video -- clear, well organized, easy to follow. For a few years (since I first viewed this) I've made dozens and dozens of bags. Watching the video again, I discovered forgotten the tip about using clips rather than pins and a few other fine points. It is time for me to reclaim those fine points, including ironing at various steps.

[@LisaLisa001]

I love that you press between every step. I learned early on what an enormous difference it makes. But I must admit, I've seen a couple of really good videos that were so great EXCEPT they didn't press anything, not even off screen. Patterns were cut on fabric still creased and best up off of the table by 2" in some places. Just a nightmare in my mind. Lol. Every time you said "give it a little press" (or something to that effect) my heart sang a little song! I think the iron is as important as the needle is in sewing. Soooooo thank you very kindly.

[@sarahelliott5790]

@SookieSews I made four over the weekend. Not perfect but they are fine for me to use at home. A couple of my zips are catching when being pulled closed..does that mean I sewed too close to the zip teeth? Or maybe my lining was too long/ big. I'm quite new to sewing so my skills aren't A1 yet! Thanks for the assistance.

[@SookieSews]

@sarahelliott5790 that’s awesome!! Celebrating with you from a distance. I’d say if the zipper “pull” is catching I’d say the lining was too large. But if it’s for you then you’ll have awareness when you use it and know for the next time.
