Definitely will be using this method from now on - beautiful zipper pocket, Thanks Kelley

[@pamelawhite7127]

Kelley, omg you make it look so easy to put that pull on so I had to try it and even with the pain in my hands...it worked like magic. You are a rockstar! Thank you thank you thank you. My husband doesn't know it yet, but he thanks you too, lol.

Thanks Kelley for showing this technique. I think this will be my standard from now on. Love your videos.

[@mamabear349]

Ooh wow! Loved the video. Thank you Kelley 🌹

[@PegCoombes]

Great tutorial, thanks for the tip on the zipper box, I’m going to use this method for sure 😀

[@kristinf8092]

Another great video! Thanks, Kelley! I didn't know the tip about not sewing the sides of the box for the sipper. Will have to try that. Thanks again.

This was a great tutorial...thanks sew much for the detailed descriptions. I’m your newest subscriber & am thrilled to have been told about your channel. 😍

[@rebekahkui]

Love it!!

[@annmoore-spencer841]

I agree that concealing the zipper tape is desirable. That is the method I use. But, thanks for explaining the parallel line, rather than the traditional box method of sewing on the facing. I am the kind of learner that needs to understand WHY something is done. Thanks again. Great video

[@bearscritter]

Well done! Thank you Kelley!

[@karenjordan3226]

Awesome Kelley! You’re a pro ❤️

[@roxannericchio3556]

Kelley, I have a question about your Lola lining piece. I notice that the bottom of the piece is cut on either side shorter than the middle of the bottom piece. I have the pattern but it doesn’t show that. Is their an update on the Lola? I hope I explained that right.

[@annebenvenuto8264]

Hi Kelley, you verbally mention that you place your inside pocket zipper facing (from the Dome Center) an inch and a half. But in looking at the actual ruler, it looks like 2-inches. Can you clarify which is better/you use. Thanks so much (This series is very helpful.)

[@sewkelley]

Anne Benvenuto I think it is 2”!

[@gen2917]

BRILLIANT

[@Komponents]

Are the measurements you draw different depending on whether you’re using #3 or #5 zippers?

[@sewkelley]

I only use #5 zippers so if you use #3, you may wish to take a larger SA.

[@gloriabonham5661]

Thank you so much for your video you make it look so easy. Are you using nylon zipper?

[@sewkelley]

For the zipper pocket, yes (continuous #5 tape). I do use #12 metal zips (pre purchased) for my Lola's.

[@4golfing]

you mention Peggy showed. Who is that - does she have videos as well? thanks. just found your site and enjoying. and do like the new tripod. in the connector video, you could not see the actual first install. great

[@sewkelley]

Peggy is a friend of mine. Glad you can see things better with new tripod. Appreciate the feedback.

[@fayeehlis854]

Great video and technique. Do you use 1/8” Skor? I see different sizes on Amazon and if so do you other sizes as well?

[@sewkelley]

Yes, the 1/8th. I don't see a need for the other sizes.

[@cindytrese3712]

Kelly can you do this with all zipper pockets in all bag patterns?

[@sewkelley]

You can do anything you want with your bag! So, yes!

[@joycelondon1639]

Good morning thanks for sharing helpful 👀 next time

[@marionlewis4703]

I'm seeing too much room and not enough of the flatbed to exactly see what is going on.

[@sewkelley]

Marion Lewis sorry! I do this for free and do my best.

[@midwaypitt]

Thank you
