SHARING AGAIN!! And a quickie LACE ZIPPER POUCH Tutorial!

[@aliciak.8067]

I have 5 brothers and 5 sisters.very closely knit. We were the luggage my parents packed at the drop of a hat. We enjoyed each and every stop made as a family. The seasons of our lives have made us closer and stronger for the upcoming challenges that my Lord had placed in our paths. Thank you for the fond memories. I love having my tea with you and enjoy your company and tutorials. Blessed be your journey into a new season of life with your family.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Alicia! We were just saying how our children FIT INTO OUR lives...and didn't allow the everyday slog interrupt our 'fly by the seat of our pant's' plans in Life! We've done a lot, seen a lot, accumulated a lot and feel confident we can make this move, because we have LOTS of love surrounding us:)

[@cozyhome2154]

You don't talk to much. I enjoy your stories..... thanks for sharing.

[@lindagunter8339]

Hope you are feeling better today. I agree that you are awesome woman. Go forward and be brave.

[@Iamedsmum]

Love your zipper bag tutorial (I hadn't seen lace zippers before so dived on to Amazon UK and bought a pack). Dear Jean, you could NEVER talk too much, I hang on your every word and you truly make my day. God Bless and keep you and all your family safe in these troubled times. Thank you dear girl. Marion in the UK

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank YOU Marion! I really appreciate your support and kindness! :) (And aren't the Lace Zippers the prettiest?!?)

[@momgrandma5496]

The lace zippers are pretty, the way you made the bag, it’s self-finishing, so cute. Went on to your video for over-the-shoulder bags, fabulous and nice of Jen to market them for you as EpiPen friendly. Your life is only going up my friend. I’m thinking you’re going to be happy touching all your fabrics again as you pack them, then again when you arrange them in your new home. Have fun with the experience Jean.

[@lizjohnson6324]

Hi Jean am so glad to se you looking so much better and more positive I am getting excited for you it's going to be an adventure .please don't get to tired or you may become ill .god bless you all .from Liz Johnson in the Uk .xxx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That is the plan.....I have to take it easy...don't want to get sick! :) Thanks Liz;)

[@lois7055]

I have only just discovered your channel. Am I happy about that....Yes! You are sooooo very clever. Thank you.

[@patbean663]

You're a hoot, Jean! I don't think you talk too much. If I am in a hurry, I can watch you when I have more time. I like the bag, and I like your method. Your instructions are clear, that is what is most important in a good teacher. Thank you! Hugs!!!

[@bonniefroid3663]

I feel like I have a new sewing friend, will watch all your tutorials, thank you new friend

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Awesome! Thank you Bonnie:) Lots of friends here! :)

[@angelaspringett1262]

Jean, I lost touch with you a few years ago I think. You are still the wonderful lady I remember. Always generous with your time and knowledgeable and happy. If my understanding is right your moving! What an adventure, although its nothing for you. You are amazing having moved with eight toddlers, 6000 miles within such a short time. Thank you for tutorial of the purse. Cross stitchers(flosstube) would love these as project bags although they would have to be larger. Wishing you Good Luck with your move and every happiness in your new home, making new memories. Much love x

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Angela! I appreciate that~ :)

[@GloriaHasberry]

Thanks for a great tutorial on a quick pouch with decorative zipper. You Trueloves did a great job with the move out and move in to a smaller place!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you so much Gloria!! We did it! :) Pretty settled in here!

[@christinewall8213]

Love the bags. I did buy a bunch of zippers from Amazon too and now I know what I can make with them. Great gift idea. I didn't get to watch this video till after I saw some of your others and you's moved in your new old home. Yea!

[@beckyrook8418]

Your the best, love you! Did the same thing you had to do! Lost my husband of 36 years of stage 4 colon cancer last November. I moved to Pittsburgh to be near my daughter. Had to do an estate sale, and watched my household sold to strangers! So I truly understand! I’m saying prayers and sending hugs to you and your family. And I did purchase one of your quilts and I will treasure it! Thank you for you and your channel!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so sorry for your loss.....how tragic! What I am going thru is NOTHING like you have had to endure! Sending hugs:)

[@gwenmcalester1184]

Thank you for sharing....I have lived in my home for 45 years....I am now looking at having to take that downsizing road that seems to haunt as time goes by and needs change. You are blessed to have support and understanding to move on to the next chapter in your life! God bless you as you move on in life! Please keep sharing and sewing!

[@arlynecantrell4268]

I love your tutorials! Love your accent! Love you sharing your adventures in downsizing!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@amycharles648]

I have enjoyed your videos for a while. My favorites are you and Jen going to quilt shows to visit your quilts. I love the camaraderie between you two. But these past couple of videos where you have talked more about your personal life and your feelings and your struggles, those have helped me grow to really know you and admire you. Thank you for being so honest and willing to share with us. It's hard to open up sometimes, but it helps to know that others are also not "perfect". That way no one feels like they are the only one going through hard times. Also, your tutorial is fabulous. I am going to get me some Amazon zippers and hardware and start sewing! :)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks Amy...I was quite emotional, wasn't I?!?!? But I have found to be comfortable sharing a bit more about our life....NOT TO MUCH (LOL!) because there are so many lovely people out there!! Like yourself! Thank you again:)

[@peggyr3862]

Love you Jean! Don't feel pressured to explain anything. It's nobody's business to tell you what to do and how to do it. We love you the way you are and your stories. My husband and I were both in the Air Force and stationed at different bases when we met. We only saw each other 4 times from February to October when we got married, now it's 42 years later. We, hopefully, moved our last time 6 years ago while we could make the decision ourselves and not get to the point of children making the decision for us. I love people's stories. Love the tutorials. Have a great day and God bless you and your family!

[@carlarigel252]

That bag is awesome! Love it and thanks for the tips for buying supplies!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Glad it was helpful Carla:)

Thank you for the sweet tutorial. I look forward to your NEX little bag tutorial. Your move is going to be awesome. I can see how much you love you're pretty things as well you should but they are just momentos that can go with you in your heart. You have a great family with lots of love and support and that's what counts. You're going to have an awesome sewing room with a lot less work in your new house. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family everyday.

I really get upset with viewers that say you talk to much, they always have the choice to leave your channel, you share with us and we comunícate with you through our comments. Have a blessed day, and you all will be fine.

[@tweetybird53046]

You make me cry then you make me laugh, you are good therapy for the rest of us. I know you will be happy when you move because you have your family. I married my husband after 9 months, they said it will never last, well we have been married 54years the 6th of November. We have 6 children 11 grand children, 2 great grand children. We have downsized and my sewing room is in the basement not the Ileana’s set up but it’s my therapy. As long as I have my sewing I am happy.

[@nightfallstarbright8294]

Jean, although the three 'D's don't affect you, you're still bound to feel emotional! I was emotional for you! You don't talk too much, I like that you share with us. You re an awesome woman! I can't wait to see your new sewing room!!! I use zipper tape, I can get 4m for £1 here in the UK! Thank you for the tutorial, it's brill xx

I pray Maxwell adjust well to his new home. Thank you for the lovely tutorial, I have always loved those lace zippers. I used them on tissue pouches. The lace zips makes them look so expensive. The same type of pouches you and Jen made as welcoming gifts for your church. BJ

Hello sweet Jean! I’ve been watching you for a while! Change is hard no matter what or when! Try to go with the flow .. it’s harder when you fight it! I lost my sweet mama 3 years ago after taking care of her for 10 years.. she had Alzheimer’s/Dementia... it’s been an adjustment and lots of change now that she’s home in heaven! But change has been a new adventure ... once I stopped fighting it! 💕 your story and how you met your hubby , getting married and moving mirrors my story almost! Just adore you! And... you do not talk to much! I love listening .. you always cheer me up and inspire me with your beautiful work! Dont change! Hugzzzz to you! ... Irene .. Sacramento CA😘😘

[@janemulvenna9598]

I love your life story so much. I keep returning to this video as I work on the bag until I need the next thing and then continue quilting. I will finish someday! I would love to hear about the Mormon religion. You should do a video on it. Does anyone else have 20 projects going at the same time? When I was a young girl in N. Ireland my mum always brought the Mormon callers in and we had sandwiches or biscuits and tea and had lovely talks. They never forced anything on us as we are Catholic but when they went back they told the next ones so they came from I was 11 until I went to university. We loved the magazine. Was it called the watchtower? Lol,this is the pouch one, ok, a pouch it is.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Glad you like this little pouch Jane and thank you for watching me! I'd love to tell you about the Mormon religion ~ if I knew anything about it!! LOL! However, Our family are Jehovah's Witnesses and yes, the magazine that we freely distribute to the public is, indeed, the Watchtower!! Along with its' companion magazine, the Awake. LOL! Because of COVID, and out of love for the entire world in such perilous times, our public door-to-door and outdoor cart/trolley preaching work has been halted for the time being ~ however we are still reaching people via letters and telephones! The real test to see if COVID is over and it's safe to go out, is when Jehovah's Witnesses start knocking on your doors again!! LOL! LOL! Take care and thanks again:)

Well done! My niece is a school nurse and she gives these little purses to the girls to carry their personal items. Since they can't carry their back packs throughout the day, they needed something they could store in their desk and carry to the restroom. Donating these items to a local school could be a good service project.

Yay! The thought of decorating a new place can be fun! Kind of like having a big dollhouse. And that new and improved sewing space will be a fun thing to plan and occupy. I'm on my 4th dedicated sewing room and this one is the best yet. Yes, onward. The hopes and dreams continue and the bumps and valleys are just a part of the ride, as it turns out. Not easy, sometimes very painful. Best wishes for all the Trueloves ❤ x 12

[@nicolek963]

I made that little pouch today, yes so very easy, it's not perfect like yours but it came out very nice for my first one, I did a little quilting after I fused the fusible fleece to the fabric, I will make more using different fabrics for the lining, I made pouches before not doing French seems but I always have problems with the lining these pouches will have great stocking stuffers, you are a great teacher, thank you again Jean.

[@busybeaver793]

Hi Jean ~ Jen had a marvelous thought! They would be perfect to use to hold Epi-pens, etc. for students with allergies. I worked as a school secretary and was responsible to keep track of students with medical issues. I would have a huge binder with medical information in the office. Plus a smaller binder for listing students with life threatening medical information. I could have used these pouches for the student/teacher to take with them on Field trips. I would purchase the plastic label sleeve though to hold the card on the outside of the pouch with the student`s name and instructions on dosage, etc. Medicines were always kept in the office. It would mean more work for me but it would contain the medication and in an emergency on a class trip they would know exactly where to look. Bravo Jen.
