Let's Sew Five Perfect Pouches by Rosie & David Patterns - DIY - Free Pattern

[@SandySzymanski-im5sl]

This video is by far the best tutorial to make a beautiful, professional looking pouch! The instructions are very clear and show every step including the actual sewing at the machine which a lot of tutorials fail to do. The sewing instructions also include the seam allowances and the stitch lengths. Thank you for sharing this video! Can’t wait to make my first zippered pouch!

[@jeanshaltes3552]

BEST tutorial for zipper pouch! Tells you how to make the seams flat, where to end the topstitching, best way to cut the zipper. Kuddos!

[@Rubyellastudios]

I have not sewed in 40 years! I have recently started to sew again. It has taken my 66 year young mind to remember the steps in chronological order. I am sewing my 6th one this morning and I finally got it down! Thank you for your instructions and pattern. You explain every step so well!

[@carolbrown5516]

I’m the same until I found rope bowls on KZbin….quite addicting, it now I want to do more than that. 😊

[@dianemotley]

I have watched many, many zipper pouch tutorials. This has got to be the best re explaining the zipper tabs and how not to "catch" them while sewing. thank you

[@RosiesArtStudio]

Wow, thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@user-22-]

I don’t understand why you *wouldn’t* want to catch them?? You end up with a *hole* at the edge when done.. No?

[@Youmayhavepeace]

@@user-22-yes, you do. But some people rather the little hole instead of the smashed tab as the smashed tab can look uneven and distorted after

[@katejames6439]

I had watched half a dozen videos on how to make a zipped bag before I found yours. Such measured, clear instructions and lovely clear videos. Thank you so much - you have restored my sanity!

[@warialdasue]

There’s many tutorials for zippered pouches on KZbin but this is the best. Perfectly explained and beautiful outcome. 🌷

[@mariastone1615]

I am an experienced seamstress and hav ejpust started making pouches. The zipper insatllation has been my nemesis! After watching numerous videos, yours is the BEST! Thank you!

[@tinagiaramita9486]

FINALLY!! A tutorial video that explains clearly on how to install a zipper without the 'dents' or looking 'wonky' or bulky!! I also love the pouch patterns! Can't wait to start making them! THANK YOU!! You made me want to sew zippers again! 😊

[@lanamusgrave8817]

These are my absolute favorite pouches. I have probably made 100 over this last Christmas season. So easy and so professional when they’re done. Thank you so much for sharing the video and your pattern! 💕

[@Ckradolfer]

finally after at least 13 tries I finally was able to make the pouch with the darn tabs that were driving me crazy , I just could not get it to work, your tuto is great thanks.

[@deborahstyles9574]

Such a pleasure to watch these videos. Everything is so clearly explained. The best teacher!

[@pamminer755]

Glad I found this have some fabric that I can fussy cut and make some cute pouches for ladies. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@kathryncallison4010]

Thank you so much! The way you put in the zipper makes the bag so much easier than the way I was trying to do it before.

[@DianneR-f1z]

Hi Rosie, I just came across your video. I was intending to make zipper pouches, but I wasn't happy with the way the zipper was inserted. I really like your method, very professional. Thank you for sharing.

[@GrandmaBooTTV]

I'm brand new to sewing and after I finish the tote bag I'm making, I'm so going to make your pouches. THANK YOU for the free pattern and such a comprehensive tutorial! ♥

[@user-22-]

Great little pouch❣️ I see I’m not the only one with a $$$ Janome that clunks & jerks when doing simple straight stitches… I was really surprised how it *wasn’t* nice & smooth 🙁. I *love* everything else about it though❣️

[@MarleyBu]

Love the colours of this bonnie wee pouch. 😊

[@patriciaclevenstine-ali4714]

Excellent tutorial! I love how you can make these pouches any size you like!

[@lasinmt106]

So nice of you to build a group of bag sizes and directions for a pattern. I don't use patterns much myself so I can see how you made the original without. Have no idea where it comes from but I look at a design or think up my own and I just sew without patterns. I have a good basic back ground in sewing via 4-H in the 60's but my godmother took me under her wing for one super simple dress pattern for my first 4-H entrance which had 3 pieces. A neck facing, a front and back. The front had two breast darts and that was the total. The following year I took on a hand smocked dress pattern and with ZERO help from anyone I figured it out and it was amazing. I wore that dress for 4 straight years all the way into college. Anyway I started doing utilitarian sewing early and cut my teeth on Frostline down jacket kits and away I was off making custom designs and I make a bag similar to this only it is self lined out of coated nylon taffeta and no seams show but it is one straight piece. I have to reinvent how it's turned every time I sew it. But it was made for expensive driving maps so that the coating never touches or bleeds through the fabric to ruin maps over time. Of course it could be for any item but I needed it for expensive maps bought which included national parks. It would work for airplane maps too. They are relatively water and moisture proof as well because they are double layered. For this bag I would just know what size to make it based on what I would plan to put in it. Or if for a gift I would make a decent sized one and might line it with a coated nylon or taffeta if the gift might be used for make up. That way it would again be leak resistant if not fully water proof due to the zipper. I have water proof zippers by the yard though. I love little bags and the little box style bags. So many simple designs if you know the techniques. I had no idea that many of the ideas I thought to use to box a corner when I was in my 20's actually would be shown one day by videos on line. Yet here we are KZbin tutorials and so many lovely people like yourself sharing them. I enjoy just watching people make lovely things and especially winging it without a true pattern. My husbands given up asking me if I saved the pattern. I tell him I don't have one. A bag I made for a neighbor this last Dec she wants me to make one for a friend of hers. I told her I would but she has to bring me her bag to inspect because I didn't have a pattern I just needed a huge bag to present her with the two queen style shams with pillows inserted and the extra large matching shag throw I'd whipped up out of a King size shag two sided blanket. Now how to wrap it up and why not make a quick 34 inch tall gift tote out of marine vinyl and nylon webbing handles to match the Shag fabric. Voila. I have no idea of the dimensions at this time. Or what I actually did. I've made complicated items and super simple like the tote but I do not add to my memory bank just what I did. In my youth I did but in my 70's it's a mystery as soon as it leaves my house. I no longer take photos or bother to remember the actual items. I make it all up the next time. But if I see what I did then I can take measurements and repeat or better still improve on the original. Pockets for example in a tote or fully zippered top. People who are beginners however often want a PATTERN as you discovered. and who are we to judge that need. Heaven's I am sure I need all kinds of help that others find a natural talent for. My Cell phone for example. I've never learned to down load apps or use it except to make a phone call. I don't know how to text. I know but we live in a county 78% of it has zero cell service and it left us behind the times. I'm off to watch a couple more of you deisgns. I see some fabric bags that are lovely.

[@karenhart2923]

Good on you , you have made it all very clear for me to understand , I struggled with clean edges and couldnt understand what I was doing wrong , now I know . THANKYOU

[@pennybaker6154]

Oh my, thank you so much for the detailed video! It is the “little things” that we beginners need and you addressed everything wonderfully! ❤

[@maryehrhardt5882]

At first I thought - persnickety, but well worth the extra effort if you want nice bags to gift. I made the whole set of 5, and am proud to give them as a gift. The tabs on the sides show up so nice and perfect. Good idea to lower stitch length when going around curves - it helps get a nicer curve. The only rec would be to let folks know right side up/down when adding the lining. Some people won't quite understand. My fabric didn't have right or wrong lining sides.

[@carolynquinlan5612]

Great tutorial. I’ve made two medium size. Thank you for the tutorial and pattern.

Thank you so very much, I think my future pouches will be something I proud of. 😅 My sewing has always been a bit of a hit & miss, even though its just something to keep me away from the TV. 😅 I love your work.

The finish on the zipper and bag is sooo nice, really upgraded it from just an ordinary bag!

[@RosiesArtStudio]

I am glad you like it and thanks for watching!

[@joycehoyt2769]

This will make a special Christmas gift for our granddaughters. What girl wouldn't like getting one or more of these?

[@lynnaltmayer7982]

I am just amazed at how nice this finishing works- I am so happy to find your teaching videos! I have made so man pouches that are bulky in the seams. I usually add a handle with a jump ring on it for keys or clip on mine. This will be greatly used!!Thank you for your clear instructions and taking the time to make this videos.

[@hill77276]

Back in Covid times, I cut out a myriad of squares only to choose a different pattern, necessitating new fabric. Finally decided to do something with former, which were stored in a metal cookie box. I followed someone else's tutorial = too fast, no verbal instructions. Too bad I also didn't know about adding "zipper tabs". I gave away 4 pouches I considered just tossing in the trash. Sewed 30 more. Kept seven of the different fabric combos for myself. From now on I'm ONLY using your tutorial (share / send to myself in a text). Many others to delete from my Saved to me Messages. Tho I will add MITER corners cuz I prefer the "sit-up" style

[@friedahorn9538]

Great video with clear instructions and all the details you really want to know! Thank you!

[@patriciadepue5322]

I love your tutorial, and have made many bags since watching it some time ago. Thank you for the patterns.

Thank you so much for a really great clear tutorial♥️ I find sewing zippers are not easy n challenging. This is a great help for me to try doing something I feared n procastinated for a loooooong time 😂😂

[@IMOO1896]

Very clear demonstration.

[@RosiesArtStudio]

Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!

[@laurahickman9012]

Love this great tutorial - thank you. One question - after reviewing the PDF, I am not clear why the Medium pouch (8 Wide x 5 High) needs a piece of fabric of 14 High? (10 wide I understand), but if finished is 5 high, why 14 High fabric? thank you so much!

[@Ellen-lp8jt]

This is an awesome tutorial!! I really appreciate the real-time sewing because I never quite know the maneuvers for difficult areas. When I first started sewing, I thought I was doing something wrong needing to go so slow around curves but turns out it's normal😊

[@tanjamoller3675]

Love this tutorial! Greetings from Germany. ❤

[@carolhousley6827]

I’ve just made one of these and I have to say it’s the best technique I have found - I love it thank you 😊

[@karenboyd6293]

Thanks for this video and the free pattern. I appreciated your demonstration of a very detailed and precise technique that produced a beautifully structured pouch. I noticed that you designed the lining with a slightly different shape, which I have not seen or used before.

[@kimburke3189]

Thanks for the new video and pattern. You definitely have the best technique out there!
