Stitch and Flip Zipper Pouch || Easy & Fun Free Tutorial!

[@AngiesQuilting]

Great video! I think I would like a lining though.

[@SewtheDistance]

I agree! I wanted to do a basic video with basic techniques. If people like this one, I will show a lining in the next video. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! ❤️

[@silverpromidi]

@@SewtheDistance yes please on the lining 🥰 thank you.

[@maryharker5088]

Yes to lining please! It’s really cute and I’d love to make some lined ones.

[@gloriaelswood8762]

Where is the link for the zippers? Also no link for your old quilts video. Iithink it needs a lining also!

[@SewtheDistance]

A video for a zipper pouch with lining will be up this afternoon. I hope that helps! ❤

[@margm4]

Beautiful pouches…thanks Kris… ❤️🇦🇺

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@patfrontuto5342]

Me too, and I like using zipper tabs, and fusible fleece, less expensive.

[@margaretswann6805]

I love that you have conversations with yourself like I do, lol.

[@SewtheDistance]

😂 Always! 😂

[@tippylaroux3137]

Love this. Definitely something that you can make a bunch of and level up your bag making skills! Level 1- add lining. Level 2 - box the corners. Level 3- add zipper tabs. Super cute.

[@SewtheDistance]

YES! Definitely! So happy you love it!

[@sharonpowell650]

I would definitely add lining!

Really does need to be lined I think as well

[@chickad5820]

I like to use the left over zipper to sew on loops to hang what I'm making, like a pouch or potholder. I also use these loops to put a key ring on or use alone as a place to hook my keys . Super cute when it's just one side of the zipper teeth. Just remove the stop bar and the zipper teeth are free to do what you want. Perfect width for loops. I have a lot of these so I can use different color zipper loops on the same project. Thanks for showing this version of a pouch, how clever

[@carmendiaz7900]

New subscriber :), beautiful bag thanks

[@SewtheDistance]

Yay! Thank you so much! 😍

[@noemir8262]

Super cute! I'd like to try it. I'm thinking I might take advantage of the fusible foam side to fuse one big piece of a busy print on opposite side, to kind of double as a lining while disguising the FPP-like stitches created from the right side of pouch. Hope that makes sense.

[@SewtheDistance]

Great idea! Thank you! Love that! I didn't even think of that. ❤️ That would definitely work!

[@darlaj]

Cute!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you!

[@gracewest5504]

I like the way you do the zipper ends.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! ❤️

[@suestutzle2779]

They are so pretty. These would be good for keeping your scissors in. With the foam they would protect their tips. You could have a few for rotary cutter and spare blades, small notions, etc. Great also for using up odd pieces of left over foam. Just join them togeher and off you go. Love this idea.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! LOVE this! It would work so well for sharp items! Thank you, Sue!!

[@Betsyboo1883]

I really like this! I love your colours too, I'm jealous of your beautiful fabric stash haha x

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I have too much fabric! LOL! 25+ years worth. EEK.

[@maryannnewsham7714]

Love this video for the technique. Love the fabric scraps that you used but I also would line this. To me it would just make it look complete and finished

Don't be afraid of them. They are really fun to use. You can do it! If you get some inexpensive zippers, you can practice, too. I hope you try it! Let me know if you run into any issues!

[@ChristineKrannich]

Here’s a tip: Smaller is not easier! I tried to do a 4” wide zip pouch as my first zipper project. It took far too long (hours). The next one I did, I used an 11” zipper with 9” wide fabric and had a much better experience. It took maybe 5-6 zippers and now I don’t think twice about them. They truly get easier with time!

[@debidiaz6569]

oh my gosh you are amazing...I saw another video of someone doing this type of project with a tote bag. and have always wanted to try it. I have no guts LOL New subscriber as of this second. LOL I see you did a block like this. Have to try it. I think it would make amazing chair cushions for my dining room lol .. Good way to use up a ton of scraps, even upcycle some clothing LOL.

Hi thank you so much for the video. I also noticed that you wrote with your pen with 2 fingers on top. My daughter holds her pens and pencils like that, your the first person other than her that I saw doing that. She has the neatest hand wring too. I thought that was the secret. I tried to write like that, thinking my hand writing would improve, with no luck! Lol! I’m just doomed with sloppy handwriting forever I guess! Anyway, thanks again.

You can used one piece of fabric size of the bag to cover the foam and all the stitching lines. Would not have to be a separate lining . Any item placed in the bag will hang up on the foam .

[@VintageStylebyJo]

Great video ❤ Super cute pouch😊

[@SewtheDistance]

[@joyscranfield5527]

Lovely little bag, but I would add a lining with an inside pocket.

[@kpang]

This is a great bag, just missing a liner. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! A new pouch tutorial with a liner is in the works! Stay tuned!

[@lisalu910]

Nice project. But I'm wondering - if you're using fusible foam, you could use the fusible side on the BACK, and then when you get through with your quilting you could fuse a lining onto the back and cover up all that stitching, right? How would that work?

[@SewtheDistance]

You could but you’ll still have seams on the sides that way. I do have a tutorial on a lined zipper pouch if you are interested. Also, the fusible foam I used for this project is one-sided fusible, but you could use two sided if wanted to. I would just be careful with your iron and pressing surfaces. Hope this helps!

[@sensorymats8544]

very nice, I would line it and put zipper tabs on it. :)

[@SewtheDistance]

So happy you like it. I wanted to keep it nice and simple for newbies. I do have a video on lining a zipper pouch, however, if you are interested. Zipper tabs coming soon!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I was looking at the dark blue for the base and that dark yellow should have been a keeper….that is for me, not necessarily for others!

[@SewtheDistance]

Ohhh! Dark blue would look nice on one of these. I did make another with the dark yellow and love it! Thanks for the advice!

[@lisapalesch-hawk6627]

Super cute! I didn't understand what you did with the zipper teeth to get the curved ends when sewing the side of the pouch. Could explain further? Thank you so much! 🌷

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! No problem--when getting ready to sew the sides, turn the zipper teeth to be on the inside (facing down towards the body of the bag with the pretty fabric) and clip it like that. Then sew the sides. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't. ❤️

[@lisapalesch-hawk6627]

Thank you, so shift the teeth so they lay flat, then sew the seam?

[@SewtheDistance]

Yes, so they are flat and facing the inside. I have another zipper pouch tutorial coming out today where I show this in better detail. I hope it helps. I should have shown it more clearly in this video. ❤

[@deborah1555]

I look forward to seeing what you do with the Tilda bundles as I purchased one myself. I see a dresden if combined with a solid to break it up a bit. Again, look forward to your ideas.

[@andreagrimes9721]

I like the idea of the curved zipper application. I'm not sure how it is done. Can you clarify?

[@SewtheDistance]

I hope I can help, but I am not sure what exactly needs to be clarified. I will try, however! I curved the edges and then followed that curve when I sewed it together. To make the curve, I use a circle template of some kind (I can't remember what I used in this video) like a plate. I make the curve and then cut it out. I sew around the curve. I hope this helps! 🥰

[@marilynmiddleton9088]

Maybe it needs a lining. But it’s a lovely pouch 🌼

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I have a video I posted after this one where I add a lining. Hope this helps!

[@vckstr312]

I would like to make a tote bag using this method. Would I need to make the bottom piece wider than 5 inches and mark my lines further from the center line? I want to box the corners so I’m thinking I would need to make the bottom piece larger so it would show more on the front and back.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! So glad you love this! You could make the bottom any size you'd like, and depending on the size of the boxed corners, you could accommodate them for sure! My goal in this tutorial was to keep it super simple to encourage others to try zippers. You can do so much with this: add a lining, make it bigger, smaller, add boxed corners, add zipper tabs--so much you could do! I love that you are going to modify it! Thanks so much for sharing your idea! ❤️
