Pinched Zipper Pouch - Sewing Tutorial by The Crafty Gemini

*** Get your kit in the Crafty Gemini Shop here: bit.ly/3tJipDi
In this video tutorial I teach you how to make a cute little pinched zipper pouch. I call it a pinched zipper pouch because a little pinch in the fabric is all it takes to make a flat bottom. So easy!
This project is great to give as a gift and once you make a few you can make them in just a few minutes.
If you need some faux leather sheets and zippers be sure to grab a kit from the Crafty Gemini Shop here: bit.ly/3tJipDi

So much I can do...I thought of cork fabric and adding vinyl letters personalize it for my daughter 🤗

[@TheCraftyGemini]

That would be great! Happy sewing!

[@bmrs.g7108]

@@TheCraftyGemini thank you so much for this tutorial! I need to register to your bag classes :-)

[@heidiespinola2669]

I stepped away from sewing for a bit but I am back now and so happy you are still teaching!

[@carolarendt5520]

Real simple and cute, love how you did the bottom! This has motivated me to try something. I am going to try and add a couple tabs with rings in the side seams to make my mom, who is 94, a Fanny Pack so she can carry her cell phone

[@marthascott292]

Great idea.

[@patriciamantooth1505]

Thank you so much. You have made this look so simple. I just bought some vinyl and I cannot wait to try to make these.

[@nobracobra]

[@grandmagreko]

Best instructor, Easiest bags, and easy peasy projects from this lil lady, Crafty Gemini 💎💯🪡🧵

[@lindahoffman2129]

This is adorable and the instructions are excellent I am a newly retired Nurse Assistant and used to being busy busy. Sewing helps keep me occupied. This will be great for my 6 year granddaughter who lives at the Jersey shore full time,. I will add a wrist strap to make it perfect for walkin' the boards! Thank you!

[@doloresw]

Yes super cute and easy project. Love how the corners are folded on the outside as opposed to them being inside and needing to be trimmed off.

[@ivelissebouet9563]

I love this pouch. I just made a quite few of them. Is it possible to add lining to it. If so, can someone tell me how? Thank in advance.

[@kimberlybarbour6989]

I had made a mistake trying to sew a bag. I saw this video and it saved the day. Thank You

[@marthascott292]

I love all of your tutorials. You make everything easy to follow. I learned how to make my zipper pouches by watching your videos. May God continue to bless you.

[@nibsvkh]

I don’t sew or do crafts but thoroughly enjoyed your video. Very well done...step by step and clearly explained!

[@mrogers2345]

When you do that bottom pleat, it looks like a 💜!! I cannot wait to try this. Love a new bag corner technique! Thanks for sharing your Love 💕 of Sewing with the us all.

[@mynewlifeinspring]

wat size needle did u use?

[@lucilledaub5991]

I love your teaching skills of the faux cute little pouches 👝. They're so cute. I also love your beautiful hair.

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@carlalissa7693]

OMG talking about a cute, fast pouch...nothing beats this one! Thanks Vanessa for simplifying my life!

[@BATFAERY]

Thanks Vanessa. It's been a while. Glad to see your smiley face.

[@mscupcakedreamson36]

You make it so easy! Thank you! I’ve been watching you since 2011!

[@cherylgriffin3453]

Just discovered this! Awesome method. Can't wait to try it. Thank you.

[@pamelacasey1699]

Loved the tutorial! As many years as I have been sewing zip bags, I did not know how to do the pleated bottom! I always enjoy your tutorials!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Glad to help! 🥰👏🏽👍🏽

[@rochelle6434]

Amazing! It looks so simple to make! I am going to try this and make a pencil pouch for my daughter! Thank you so much!

[@marthascott292]

Super nice and easy. I love Crafty Gemini tutorials..

[@sarag1158]

oh my gosh! I have not seen you in years! I lost you somewhere along my sewing journey 10 years ago

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Welcome back! 🙌🏽👍🏽❤️

[@starbrown1219]

Great tutorial. I have found after making many zip bags that tabs make a nice clean look at the ends of the zipper. My zipper would always be pinched in the seam. I really liked how you boxed it out.

[@iamdenishalashae]

I love how clear and direct you speak. Thank you for this tutorial! :)

[@nancy9478]

Very cute pattern! You are such a great teacher!

[@marthascott292]

Yes she is. I love watching her tutorials. She is great teacher.

[@kathymckenzie394]

I made my first pinched zipper pouch and added a wristlet strap. 😊 Thanks, Vanessa!

[@seemarajderkar3019]

Hi Vanessa.This zipper pouch is soo very cute and you have stitched it perfectly !! Your detailed instructions and tips are super useful for a newcomer like me !! Thanks!! Kudos to the cameraman for Great job!!

[@stanwoodgrammy]

This looks fun, can't wait to try it. Everything made by Crafty Gemini is so easy to make even if you don't sew!

[@TamingTheWild12]

Wow you made it look easy enough I could do it! Gotta master this then find a tutorial with lining. That would be cool too

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Yay! This is a great way to start without lining first. You can do it!

[@me9981]

You don't even have to do the lining if you're still a beginner. You can take scraps of fabric and line the inside edges with it... If you know what I mean...there are tutorials with it too, it's quick and easy

[@karideising1675]

These are great! 1:08

[@patriciasweet9102]

Cute project great lil presents

[@lindagoodman4080]

Love your tutorials so explanatory I'm going to buy some vinyl and make this

[@deeleach8300]

Once again, a very instructional video anyone can follow. Very clear instructions and reminders along the way!

[@cynthiabrewer266]

Finally made my first one. Much easier than I thought. Going to make some more. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@lynetterene]

I can't believe how easy this is....my family will think I spent a lot of time making these.....lol. Thanks for sharing as always

[@connierivers1144]

Thank you so much! I’ve made many cotton fabric zipper pouches but now I’m inspired to try faux leather…love your teaching style🥰

[@patriciakalisak4300]

Love the bottom corners. Looks very sharp and professional.

[@joannturrin9141]

Very very clever. Love the way you explain how to sew.

[@dawnjones7318]

Thank you for making these so easy. Your descriptions and tutorials are a pleasure to follow😊

[@sandrasews3765]

The easiest little pouch ever ! Thank you so much , I started sewing with you since you made the fleece hats for kids. My kids are grown so no I’m focused on purses

[@donnawhipple4079]

I love it have lots of little friends and Auntie teaching Mom to quilt. Just started and her hubby got her HQ MOXIE for Christmas.

[@user-xq6ts4fq4h]

Great video! Zippers have always intimidated me but you make it achievable!

[@djones1231]

Love your common sense approach! Great video and also loving your background jazz piano music. Looking forward to your next project!

[@heatherd4524]

Thank you so much for this video, I have been having so many issues with my corners and zippers. I think this is the most in depth video out there and I really needed it.

[@scrappyloomsewing]

Cute and simple...just my style 🥰

[@pattyrdh1987]

I absolutely love your pinched bottom pleats. Thanks so much ‼️ 🧵

[@Lisapittsburghnurse]

I'd serge the seams after doing another row of stitching on the outside of the 1/4 inch seam to avoid seeing threads when turned right side out

[@CheleBoxy]

LOVE THIS! Soon as I'm done with my current project, I'm gonna see if I can crank out a few of these! Thanks Vanessa!!!!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Yay! Happy sewing!

[@djtblizzle]

I’m just starting my sewing journey and this looks like a good “first” project. There isn’t a lot out there for guys, (most sewing projects are pretty girly) but I can totally see me using this in my shop, or for cake decorating tools, and even for sewing notions! I’ll post the finished piece on Instagram. Thanks!!!

[@mariefoley1638]

There are loads of guys that sew on KZbin and they’re amazing.

[@designsbychristinacunningh8520]

Very cute. Love the corners!

I just love your videos and close up views. Was planning to do something else this morning, but now I'm sewing! Thanks for sharing your talent and time. Ecdited to add that I made two in 30 minutes and I'm pretty new to sewing! Love them!

[@dianeholmes5874]

Can't wait to d this cute litte bag!

[@Lisettear1]

I had some left over vinyl after making your sewing machine cover and use it to make this. It came out super cute and it was the first time I added a zipper! Woohoo! I'm so excited that it looks pretty close to yours. My only complaint is that the vinyl is too thin. I should have added some fabric on the inside. Thank you Vanessa! I love all of your videos!

[@marilyn623]

Great video! Such clear directions! Super teaser for the bag club!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Thanks, Marilyn! Can't wait to see all your finished bags. :)
