I like to say the difference between, "Where did you buy that?" and "Did you make that?" is an iron.

[@TockCustom]

Exactly, it's such a huge deal! Thx for watching 😁

[@patriciajrs46]

That and straight seams, not wobbly stitches.

[@MarianneSmith62]

You give just the right amount of information and are so pleasant to listen to. I really enjoy your videos and watch them even if I never plan to make an item you're making. I always walk away knowing that if I wanted to, I could, with your instruction. Thanks a lot!!

[@terryboyd4352]

i'VE MAD SIX OF THESE POUCHES SO FAR...I MAY BE ADDICTED

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

They are lots of fun! And useful, also great for gifts.

[@sithra74]

I love your videos! I've been trying to teach myself to sew and you are so helpful. My husband has been a Star Wars cosplayer for over twenty years and I hope to one day make him a costume.

[@TockCustom]

Thank you so much! Hey I got into sewing to make cosplays, so I totally understand the struggle, hope you're having fun with your projects :)

[@lyndasanchez3385]

Finally a tutorial that is just perfect. Thank you so much. ❤

[@loristillman8367]

I needed a refresher on zipper into outer and lining fabric on these but watched your entire video because you were great. Your decked out machine is fun and those shears are the bomb!

[@bondgirl129]

I've recently discovered your channel as I'm trying to learn to sew and it's fantastic how well you explain things! It great info without hyperbole or artificial cheerfulness and I am here for it. Keep it coming!!

[@TockCustom]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! It's great that people like yourself show appreciation for videos without the whole "Game Show Host" attitude. Hope you're making some great new stuff this summer, cheers!

[@bondgirl129]

"Game Show Host" energy... Well, using that forever. And yes, I find it very off-putting.

[@Toebex]

That coffee cup fabric is so random and weird, I love it. Really good video man, Ill be sure to give this a go. One day zippers wont scare me anymore!

[@TockCustom]

lol thx man, hope you have fun making some new stuff this summer. Love the music on your channel, super chill :)

[@04658IFH]

Nicely done! You are a great teacher.

[@talis84]

So glad you're back to a semi-regular posting schedule. Really enjoy how approachable you make sewing and garment making. Like the t-shirt too, See you space cowboy.

[@TockCustom]

Thx a ton for the positivity! Hope you're making some cool stuff this summer. Three - Two - One - Let's Jam!

[@derpyhuskyroo3824]

Love your videos they've helped me get into sewing, went from knowing nothing to tailoring my clothes and making fun pouches!

[@TockCustom]

That's terrific! Happy to hear you're having fun making some cool stuff this summer. Thx so much for watching 🤗

[@NordicaTundra]

I added in interfacing. Thank you for this video. I like the simple ones.

[@skeeverskooma]

I made my first zipper pouch :') thank you. its a star wars pouch

[@tomdececco2806]

Thanks - new to sewing and your videos are great - always learn something

[@TockCustom]

Excellent! Happy these have been helpful, thanks so much for watching :D

[@leadmetopeacejeanie]

I love this. Thank you so much. I didn't realize how important ironing is!

[@TockCustom]

So happy this was helpful! Also yes, it's crazy how much I iron while making pretty much anything. Thanks so much for watching :D

[@michelejarrell4851]

I have watched 100 videos on bags. Your the one that showed me the best. Every step. I got it on the first try. Thank you. Keep them coming

[@TockCustom]

Well that makes me very happy to hear! Thanks so much for watching, enjoy all your projects over the holidays :D

[@samlynn79]

Great to see you post again! Your messenger bag series is my favorite, I've made two of them with that same pattern and following your videos as a guide.

[@LK-wq3su]

I found your video as a nice refresher on how to do a zipper pouch, and learned some better ways to sew! Thank you! Im still a zipper noob, so this was helpful. 😊

[@user-ll5my6qk5i]

I usually don't subscribe or follow anyone, BUT I LOVE your precise instructions and I don't get bored. I've watched all your videos up to this point and not once have I fast forward, which is a compliment. You are so down to earth which is another plus. I loved watching you teach Evil Ted Smith to sew. I was a little heart broke that I couldn't find the jean or hoodie patterns. I really wanted to make them, but trying to find similar patterns.

[@The_Engie]

Gonna miss you down here Chris. Best of luck with the move! Doesn't surprise me that you have a ton of videos in storage what with your workshop.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks a ton! I don't have too many videos shoots pending edits actually, hope to crunch a few more out in the next few weeks :) Hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!!

[@discocub]

I did this class with you last year at DragonCon, and it was a blast! You’re a great teacher, and I love your videos!

[@TockCustom]

Oh nice! Happy to hear from someone at the DragonCon class! Thx for watching, I wont make it this year but hope you have a blast 😀

[@sophiaedmonds2917]

This is the best tutorial in a zipper pouch. Thanks for the clear instructions. 😊

[@joanrossington6932]

You are a vert good teacher. Thank you

[@sylviasmith4482]

Todd your absolutely amazing! I love your teaching methods. I’m not a beginner, however I love watching your tutorials. Can’t wait for the next one. Take care.

[@kogabear1]

Excellent project, I’m going to use this for showing people how to start off with easy sewing projects. Thanks. Looking forward to more of your work.

[@TockCustom]

Terrific, hopefully it helps you and your people learn a cool introductory project 🤗

[@brettster3331]

Great video Todd, you showed this process do well, and it is so nice to see a new video from you as well.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching! Hope you get to make some fun new pouches 😊

[@karenlamb2434]

Great instructions, I love my pouch!! I'm a beginner, super slow and still learning and you are a great teacher! Cannot wait to do another project with you.

[@TockCustom]

Awww, that's great! Hope you're having fun with everything. I'm in a new studio now, so I'll be excited to share new stuff soon. Happy Holidays!

[@lorainejones2375]

It’s great to see your tutorials again. 🙏

[@stevenmyers3647]

You are the best on the internet for explaining sewing to beginners. This video was great, again. Thanks!

[@apriljasso9731]

I have the hardest time with my zipper foot sewing straight lines....it alway tends to bounce off the zipper tracks and make my stitches jump...love the bag and coffee fabric!

[@val929]

This is such a great tutorial! I love how you break it down step by step and explain each step! Thank you for sharing this with us! I look forward to watching more of your videos!

[@stephanielivingston900]

Love your tutorial and I often refer back to it if I forget and just want to make sure I'm stacking my layers right. The 1st zipper pouch I made the tutorial was wrong and after ripping the seams apart twice I found your tutorial and almost immeadiately I knew I had to be correct as It was different from the other one I was trying to learn from. I love how you explained the zipper foot also. Thank you kindly. I will also try more of your tutorials in the future. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

[@Amys_Crafts-N-Things]

❤❤ love the tutorial. You're a great teacher 💯!! Fun fabrics too.

[@gordonrussell7165]

Great tutorecesial for beginners like me. I added a piece of felt to both the outside pieces and worked out well.Thanks

[@TockCustom]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching, glad you ended up with a fun new pouch :)

[@paulasmith6169]

Great job and thanks for the zipper demonstration that is one of my hardest problems but I am gonna try your way. Your demonstration/instructions look so easy.

[@TockCustom]

Happy this was helpful, you can totally do this for sure :)

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

Yes, it does look excellent! Beautiful and easy too! Thanks!

[@maldonadoruthie]

Great to see you love the zipper pouch❤ thank you

[@jhetvelasco3761]

Omg I miss u! Good to see u again ❤

[@michaelfarrell8962]

This was an awesome tutorial, very thorough, especially for folding the zipper before sewing so that it lays properly when the bag is turned out. This was my first sewing project (ambitious?) but it turned out amazing. Great to start a new skill with a successful outcome. Thank you! I made mine with a canvass duck exterior and flannel lining from a recycled shirt. Super durable and I will wax the canvas for added durability.

[@TockCustom]

Awesome! So happy this was helpful, good choice on the fabrics too. Duck is such an underrated material. Hope you can make some wild new stuff this winter, cheers!

[@marcogerblinger3717]

Dude, awsome! Made one today as my first real sewing project and it looks amazing thx to you! Clear instructions with all necessary info Thank you for really valuable content

[@ginareyeswoo1705]

Great tutorial & very clear instructions too! Appreciate it!

[@TockCustom]

Yay, thanks for watching. Hope you ended up making some cool pouches!

[@daxxydog5777]

Nice gift idea!

[@clombard7134]

Hi Chris! Love this video. Thanks for sharing!

[@TockCustom]

Thanks so much for watching :D

[@maryannevanoff4464]

Oops. Missed the beginning. Saw the dimensions. GREAT video!

[@kellie6149]

Great video!

[@rajgill6054]

👍🏽 installed my first Zip 🎉

[@tinkywinky8634]

Great tutorial!

[@TockCustom]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@Cullens_Workshop]

great instructional guide!

[@TockCustom]

Thanks buddy! This was the same one we got to make at DragonCon last year

[@rtblade4]

Very nice! I am going to try this!

[@TockCustom]

Very cool, let me know how it turns out :)

[@mrMister3]

Bro, I love your videos ❤

[@TockCustom]

Thanks a ton man, means a lot!

[@paulabecker7483]

Thank you, Chris. I finally understand putting a zipper in!😂

[@lisamilsom5037]

This tutorial was great to follow but somewhere I've made a few mistakes. I shortened the lining when I pinned everything to go around the edges and I've not caught the zipper properly either end. But nevermind I'll try again tomorrow!

[@NordicaTundra]

Very nice.😊

[@konradrogowski360]

Hi is there any chance of you making a video on making up a zipper with top and bottom stoppers for open zipper s I'm a novice and I really struggle with this as I'm sure there will be a hell of a lot more like me and once again thank you for all the videos and the explanation is fantastic on them all yours konrad

[@TockCustom]

I already have a video on how to make zippers, and how to modify them if that's what you mean? Hopefully you found something by now, thx for watching!

[@happyavacado1495]

Could you show us how to make a coupon booklet?That sounds like a fun and exciting project

[@TheCynedd]

I liked the video, Chris, but: (there is always a but😏) when trimming anything you need to turn inside out use your pinking shears instead of scissors to reduce the bulk. Much love to you, Chris.

[@TockCustom]

Thanks for watching, I have no idea what I'm doing so I just kinda wing it every time I film something. One of these days I'll get the proper equipment.

[@ccpippin307]

Double pins! How have i not seen ghat before? Cannot tell you how many times I've been zoned out and just tore through my opening for turning. I've ignored different colored pins, a pencil mark, using a clip instead. Maybe double pins will work? It doesnt happen EvErY time but it happens enough I'm willing to try a new habit. Thanks!

[@JonPaulDiefenbach]

I've been sewing for 3 years now and I always learn a lot from your tutorials, even this far along :) Question: Why do you prefer using pins when joining the panels? I almost always use clips

[@TockCustom]

Same here, sewing for about 10 years and I still feel like a total beginner most of the time :P I prefer pins for garment sewing because there is minimal risk of slip. When I'm doing bags, costumes, and upholstery I prefer clips since the material is much thicker. So it's about 50/50 of each :)

[@UncleWayon]

Still the best!

[@TockCustom]

Thanks a ton man! Appreciate the love :D

[@florettepayne1779]

Wow he's the best

[@peterkoenen4095]

thanks

[@foxyprice3114]

Definitely what I was looking for. One question. Is the inner liner(solid brown) a different measurement from the outer?

[@gillianlethuillier5212]

Thank you for a wonderful explanation. Please please please can we have some more beginner projects and fancy dress costumes for kids ?

[@DROPTHEHATE2024]

Have you ever made the men’s shirt with Long sleeves? You mentioned you’d make it in the original video but I don’t see it.

[@TockCustom]

I still haven't done it yet, but I'm planning to film it this week (men's dress shirt demo). Thanks for being patient, I'll get to work on that soon! Thanks for watching :)

[@happyavacado1495]

Have you ever made a clasp coin pouch/pursAnd if you have have you made a video I have missed on how to make one?

[@Nanee907]

Quick question regarding sewing/embroidery combo machines: is the sewing function quality as good as a stand alone sewing machine?🧐

[@TockCustom]

In my experience with Brother machines, the sewing or embroidery functions are both equally good on either hybrid or stand-alone machines. The difference is stand-alone machines usually offer more features for the specific tasks

[@Nanee907]

@@TockCustom thank you!🤩

[@solitaryguy54]

Nice tutorial, simple approach to a nifty project. I have a question. What brand are and where did you obtain your scissors from, I would like to get myself a pair of those, nice! 😯

[@TockCustom]

Thx a ton for watching! Oh, those shears are from Famore Cutlery, I have affiliate links to their shop if you're interested. Their stuff is the best 🤗

[@MNIU_]

What are you using to cut the fabric? When you say lining panels what type of fabric is it that I should look for ? What kind f zipper is that ? I saw a lot in the store sorry I’m completely hew

[@patriciajrs46]

We ladies like pockets. Have you ever done a pouch with pockets in it?

[@TockCustom]

Not yet, but that would be a great idea!

[@lesliehannah3994]

Where do you get you fabrics??

[@maryannevanoff4464]

Did you give dimensions of the project?

[@GoneWithTheWind87]

You look like Tim lambesis

[@seanmcintyre4990]

3, 2, 1 let's jam.

[@TockCustom]

See you space cowboy...

[@anitapharand2313]

I have made many pouches hp it yourself is so simple. I just made one for my son’s girlfriend. You are a very good teacher.

[@warialdasue]

My stepmother is a fantastic seamstress, and she says You sew with your iron ,

[@chucklenz9011]

You go slow to show- great although I’ve been sewing for 4 years there is always something I need to tweet to learn. Thanks.
