Love it. Stop putting yourself down. You are delightful.

Thanks Gail always nice to have that support 😊

I loved your unscripted way of doing this sewing tutorial. I felt like I was at an aunts house having her teach me. From Middle Tennessee, USA.

[@suzieqmakes]

Wonderful! Kima, I love the thought that to you I was like having your Auntie over for a chat 😁

[@mareimontalvo2725]

Bright and beautiful!! You're video made me smile BIG TIME! From the opening...with your face peeping at me from the lower left corner; to your statement "I've got this down to a science"....and then trying to explain it to us; and finally to those gorgeous fabric/vinyl bags. I love spending time with you!

[@suzieqmakes]

It was bonkers wasn't it Marei 😂 I just hope people got something from it in.the end 🙄

[@mareimontalvo2725]

@@suzieqmakes of course we got something out of it. We all know how to make vinyl front bags now....at least I now know. You really did make me smile.

[@Annpanz]

Lovely demo thank you. I bought a Jack A4f. £750. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent. I have a well known machine. 3k. Not a patch on the Jack industrial ❤

[@suzieqmakes]

Thanks for sharing, I'm not sure what I will get but the big craft show is next week and I will try a few ❤️

[@helenjazz1301]

I have a fear of zips, but I might have a go at your method which looks so much more straight forward! 😊

[@suzieqmakes]

Once you give it a go it really is easy Helen

[@peepers4763]

I followed every thought and knew every step. I enjoyed watching

[@suzieqmakes]

Phew! I was worried it was garbled, thanks for commenting ❤️

[@nicolajames]

😂 OMG your intro had me in stitches . Great video 😀👍 you made total sense to me. We must be on the same wavelength 🤗

[@suzieqmakes]

Thank heaven for that Nicola, I really thought it was garbled but people have been able to follow my method 😊

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Great tutorial Suzie! Loved the colourful fabrics. I love making them too and putting my projects in them. Thank you💕

[@suzieqmakes]

Excellent Elizabeth, glad to have inspired others with the video, I thought it was a bit garbled but I guess people understood in the end 😂

[@marthamanigross]

Suzie, these are so cheerful and you make everything look so easy! Thanks for the dimensions of the fabric. When you say the back is one inch wider, it looks like it’s 1” all the way around? That roll of vinyl is amazing, especially at the price you purchased it for! You did a good job on the tutorial. 😁❤️

[@suzieqmakes]

Thanks for commenting Martha, yes the backing fabric should be 1" wider all around, sorry I didn't make that clearer 😕

[@lynowers3987]

Very cheery project bags. Easy instructions . Thanks, Sue.

[@suzieqmakes]

Thanks so much Lyn, did it make sense? 😂 I love making those bags so thought I would share

[@jesspeak7543]

Thank you for such an enjoyable tutorial. I often use the excess zipper tape as side grips on the pouch or on an entirely different project. ❤

[@suzieqmakes]

That's a great idea jess, I might try that on the next one I make, thank you

[@KoolKookyKreatures]

Love these Sue!! The fabric colours are gorgeous ❤

[@suzieqmakes]

Right up your street Tori 🤣

[@drofa61]

Очень красиво! Спасибо!!!🎉❤

[@apronhugsingreeenbay]

I like your zip & binding methods very much. Will give them a try! 😊

[@suzieqmakes]

Really easy method and no hassle way of making those pouches! I hope you found it useful, despite my garbled description on how to!

[@janethill82]

Beautiful bags and fabric to brighten up any day.

[@suzieqmakes]

I think so too Janet, thank you

[@user-ek6gn8rp6h]

Hi Suzie, love the fabric that you have made your bags in, l have a friend who makes them. They are very useful. Happy stitching 😊

When I saw "bare with me, i thought I had been spelling it wrong and immediately googled it. This is what I found Which Is Correct? Bear With Me or Bare With Me: Which Is Correct? View all “Bear with me” means “please have some patience with me.” “Bare with me” literally translates to “uncover with me.” Imagine sending that … I almost died laughing. These pouches are very cute and cheery and bright. I made a similar one but made the front of the pouch with a colored mesh to coordinate with the bag and i use it for my epp"s its a handy pouch to have. TFS 😊

[@suzieqmakes]

I hope I spelt it right then 😂 yes those pouches can be made in all sorts of fabrics and are very handy indeed ☺️ happy Easter 🐰

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

@@suzieqmakes I'm so sorry but you spelt it like you wanted us to get bare(removal of clothes) with you! Not laughing at you. But. Hopefully with you 😆 🤣

[@auntlizzy1308]

What weight is the vinyl?

[@suzieqmakes]

@@auntlizzy1308 um I don't actually know but it's very pliable but durable, mines been going for 6 years now (yeah that roll had been going that long 😁)

Thank you so much Rhonda, I confused myself at one point though 😂

They really are multi user bags, and I love making them, bonus!

Brilliant 🎉. I struggle to sew bias binding. Thank you 😊

Bias binding is my nemesis! I simply can't get it to work properly ever!

You are so welcome Julie, it's so grey and rainy here the colours were good therapy!

[@nickelina003]

Beautiful! ❤️🙏🏼

[@suzieqmakes]

Thank you!!

[@susanrascone2098]

Love those. I made one once with binding and no teflon foot. I used tissue paper between the foot and vinyl then removed it.

[@suzieqmakes]

Great idea! Doing it this way saves all that faff though

[@susanrascone2098]

I have some vinyl and a zipper, I should make another but your way. As you know, I feel about zippers the way you feel about binding. I have no problem with binding and you just zip through those zips!! Excuse the pun. Also, have you ever made one using a candy (sweets) package. I have a Werthers package waiting to be made into a pouch the same way.

[@suzieqmakes]

@@susanrascone2098 a sweet package sounds great, I don't have them anymore since the pre diabetes scare but that would look amazing, attaching the binding to the vinyl first, I feel, makes the process of stitching the zip on much easier, let me know how you get on ❤️

[@susanrascone2098]

@@suzieqmakes Bring the sweets into work or give them to the grandkids. I am making a Hunters Star quilt but I think I will take a break from it this weekend and make a pouch!!

[@carolfuller2941]

Thank you, great project bags, try a fork to get the zipper on the tape, works for me 😊I also hate bias binding 🤪do you use any wadding ?

[@suzieqmakes]

Great tips Carol, thanks, yes the inside piece of fabric had wadding fused to it to give a nice weight to the pouches

[@youmefpp]

Where was the roll of vinyl from? I struggle to buy it, always end up getting a shower curtain and end up with loads of waste. I love these project bags

[@suzieqmakes]

I was very lucky and got it for £5.00 at a car boot about 8 years ago Sylvia, yep I've had it that long and made loads of bags!

[@jenjenh706]

❤ thanks where do you get that ginormous roll of vinyl from ❤

[@suzieqmakes]

The vinyl was a lucky find many years ago at a carboot I think, I remember I nearly didn't buy it because of the weight but sure am glad I did 😊

[@kathypeterson9549]

I have to fast forward a lot cause to much talking and not enough doing but love your videos❤❤

[@jenniferanderson7080]

Love her chatting! No need to post negative comments, just fast forward if you don’t like it.

[@suzieqmakes]

Sorry about that Kathy, I fast forward a lot of youtube videos where I don't want to listen to a lot of chat but when I video I'm usually crafting while chatting so at least you have something to look at? It's been the way Ive done youtube for years so probably won't change, apologies if it's annoying to you
