Easy, Cute Zip Pouch! For The Love Of Change From More Me Know

You are such a good teacher! You also have a pleasant voice too! I love your videos. Thanks!!

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you so much!

Hi Jess, I have to say I am hooked on your tutorials. Very detailed and easy to follow. Thanks

[@OklaRoots]

Glad you like them!

[@cynthialong4514]

After finding you through your Bernina 770 QE Tula Pink unboxing! Now I'm obsessed with making bags!!!

[@OklaRoots]

Haha excellent! Bags are so fun and rewarding.

[@ingridtinsley4141]

Hi Jess, I enjoy so much your tutorials, they are full of tips and detail instructions, great job!!! As an avid seamstress I just wanted to mention something that I noticed on this tutorial, for pouches that they are going to be hanging from the wrist, the zipper always should be closing towards the side that has the wrist attachment, so in that way if the zipper it is not completely closed you have a better chance of not losing anything, since the opening will be at the top near your hand and not at the bottom, I hope I was able to explain myself properly. Cheers 😊

[@OklaRoots]

That's SUCH A GOOD TIP Ingrid! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@SundogTamaskan]

Can I just say thank you for this video and all your others. It isn't the same watching anyone else now, I'm so spoiled. I selfishly need you to do all the things because you are now my fav sewing tutorial/sewing gear related channel. You are always so clear and energetic in your videos and it makes it a million time more engaging and easy to follow along. :)

[@OklaRoots]

That means so incredibly much to me! Thank you for taking the time to write this. I love sewing so much, but it means even more to see how it inspires others.

[@stephanieflanders3219]

OMG!!! Cuteness here! I have 7 young nieces who would absolutely looooovvvvee these as little crossbody bags! Thank you, Jess for all the time and effort you put into all of your tutorials. You are awesome! I need to get sewing......

Love the pouch .

[@monisue2793]

I can relate with my Bernina’s too. I love my new B535, she’s a “nice lady”. But I adore my much older 1230, she’s “my beloved”. Less electronics makes her nimble and responsive.

[@maryjimfierr3434]

Hey! I absolutely love your videos, and I wanted to give you a quick tip on the sequins part... in order for them. It sticking on your vinil and actually moving, sprinkle some baby powder and spread it thin.... and then the sequins will not stick as much.

[@lauraanderson3675]

Love your tutorials. I think the sequin idea is adorable. Question: why did you not interface lining? Is it because it’s a small bag and there would be too much bulk?

[@OklaRoots]

Honestly... I just didn't feel like it. If selling or gifting to a friend, adding the SF101 is always a good idea. But these were for me (mostly) and I don't mind the loose lining.

Plus I took your advice with the Mara 70 and ordered 11 colors. I’m gonna order many more so I’ll be ready for sure.

[@monicapartida5669]

Hi Jess. I have a dilemma. I was making this pouch, following along with your tutorial (which, BTW, I LOVE your tutorials!). And my bobbin keeps getting stuck and like a whole mess of thread gets bunched up in the back of my project! I'm new at sewing so I don't know all the ins-n-outs of how the machine works or what's what. Can you help me???!!! I'm so close to finishing but the thick part of the sewing where i have to sew all around the lining and the outer fabric is where it keeps getting jammed. If you have any advice or things i can do to make the thread stop getting stuck, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks! - Monica

[@keshaanderson3355]

Jess, I’m a beginner. I just started in May of this year. I love your videos and can’t tear myself away from them most days. Anyway, I was wondering more about your design thoughts. How do you choose your fabric prints? You always have some beautiful and cute patterns but you match up patterns and colors that I would never put together. But once you complete the project it’s just too cute. Do you have any tips on how I should look at patterns differently other than matching solid colors? Thank you for your time and teaching.

[@OklaRoots]

Thank you so much for the compliment Kesha! So I am such a fan of busy, bright and colorful fabric. I'll usually pull one print out that I'm just LOVING, and then I'll pull colors from that to use for the other parts of the bag. But I like to pull the color that is used the least in the print. Does that make sense? I find doing that really makes every part of the bag pop.

[@diddlydora]

ooh I love this! Great tutorial, thank you! Quick question, I have never used vinyl before, is this a good pattern to use as my first try?

[@OklaRoots]

Yes, absolutely, since you don't have to use a whole lot of it.

Hi there. I have the pattern and made a few. I wasn't successful with the piping, but you make it look easy. I noticed you now have a Bernina, is it better for bag making compared to your other machine, the juki 2010? Thank you.

[@OklaRoots]

Hello! Piping can be tricky sometimes. Honestly my favorite machine is my Juki TL 2010q, but the small Bernina does well with many bags.

[@crazeekiwi1]

Hey jess ☺ it seems kinda silly to ask but in one of your future videos would you mind showing how to cut and square up your fabric. I attempted to to make your snack pouch and when I folded my fat quarter selvage to selvage it was uneven and so were my sides. I didn't know how to even it out without wasting too much of my limited fabric so I've left the snack pouch for another day.

[@OklaRoots]

That's a great idea! I'm planning a snack pouch 2.0 video, so I'll include that.

[@shannona6533]

Another great tutorial Jess! Sometimes when I start sewing on the little pieces (like the piece for the D ring or swivel clip) I get a birds nest when I start to sew. Do you know what causes this?

[@l.m.o.8948]

Shannon A Good tip. Start your sewing on a little scrap piece of fabric and continue sewing into the small piece. Then just trim off the little scrap to use again.

[@OklaRoots]

I have the same problem Shannon! Lynn provided a great solution, and that is what I do as well. I usually start sewing on a scrap piece of fabric first, and then sew my bag following that scrap. I'll do this for almost every seam.

[@evelynbaezlindecamp2074]

Hello there, have you made the NCW?

[@OklaRoots]

Not yet! It's on the list, that will be a special one.

[@nancychandler7289]

What size needle would you use for this? I have Organ and Schmetz needles. Using a Babylock Accomplish.

[@OklaRoots]

I use Schmetz 80/12 normally. If you are working with thin quilt cotton that isn't interfaced (for the lining, as an example) you may find it easier to use a 70/10 needle.

[@nancychandler7289]

Thank you so much! I get so confused with needle sizes, different stabilizers, I just can’t keep track! I love your videos....for someone like me they are easy to follow and you do such a good job.

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Just ordered “waxed” quilt fabric from Moda can it be used just like the vinyl? I ordered it to make a big sew along bag but have decided I’m not going to make that bag. A lot of your bags use vinyl so want to substitute if you think it will work

[@OklaRoots]

Is it is waxed canvas? If so, that will work GREAT and give such a beautiful textured look. I would use it the same as vinyl, since it is pretty beefy.
