If you double up the height of the initial size then when you cut the diagonal you have 2 pouches at a time. I don't know if I explained myself well. Great project.

[@sewbecca]

You did! A few others suggested the same thing, I'm going to try it!

[@leahholland6272]

That is an awesome idea

[@kimlauder6899]

Love this idea ❤

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤❤thanks! I don’t even have my pattern yet, but I think I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the great tip!!😊

[@niccolealdrich4890]

@@sewbecca I'd love to see you do this 💗

[@carolwoods253]

I love how you honor the patternmaker. Thank you. Your instructions are spot on. I am truly inspired.

[@JenSutton2023]

Brilliant teacher. Thank you so much.

[@ChristineKrannich]

My mother is heading into Assisted Living, likely after Christmas. She requested (10min before I started watching this video!!!) a pouch big enough for her iPad. I need to figure out how to add handles but that’s not too hard once the first one is made. Thanks for the tutorial. I like that you don’t give cutting measurements out of respect to the designer :)

[@sewbecca]

I’d recommend the large or xl for the iPad! Adding handle should be easy - I’d just do it coming out of the side! Make the handle, and when you turn the bag inside out to add binding, before you add the binding, I’d just attach a little strap by tucking it in between the two exterior pieces in the top-ish area!

[@ChristineKrannich]

@@sewbecca That’s what I was thinking! Thank you :)

[@rebeccasorensen7925]

I agree. I was thinking strap added to carry it would be perfect.

[@barbarahillegass2135]

I am so happy that your instructions always show challenges and how to overcome them. Such as putting zipper pull on. Helps me realize I am not alone. Excellent job ❤ Thank you.

[@rachelallen5534]

The 'discard' portion could defintely be 1/2 a coin purse, at least. :) Or made into a short cup/tall bowl for change, paperclips, binding clips, and more! Lots of options alone or by combining it with the discards from the other bags to make another unique gift!

[@sewbecca]

OOh, I like the idea of combining several discards into a single super scrappy bag!

[@eileenjones5427]

Bind the extra piece & sew to front as a pocket. For phone, pens, etc. 😊

[@sewbecca]

oooh, I LOVE that idea!!!

[@LilMissMaker]

Came here to say exactly this 😊

[@candacefife6763]

I just bought this pattern this morning. Glad I stumbled onto this tutorial.

[@sewbecca]

I absolutely loved the pattern - hope you get a few made before Christmas!

[@KumaSews]

Cute pouch. You can also stitch over the zipper ends to prevent accidentally pulling off the zipper head while turning inside out. Also, running a stitch all around before attaching the binding will squish down the foam and binding will go on without the bulk. Great tutorial! Off to get the pattern

[@sewbecca]

Thanks for those extra tips - those would definitely make this EVEN easier!

[@jackietowsley6927]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I’m a visual learner as well. Can’t thank you enough.

[@sewbecca]

You're very welcome!

[@sewbecca]

You're very welcome!

[@Zombiepixiestitches1981]

I learn better from watching someone make it too. This one I have seen it looked much more complicated than it actually is. I love this one, the Tula print one is my favorite.

[@paulajohnson752]

Yes yes yes love it

[@irmafloresgonzalez]

Love this!!!❤

[@wandawalker4191]

Those are really cool!!!

[@kathleenlambert5904]

The top leftover piece for the large pouch makes up to be a small travel tissue case

[@karlettamyers2133]

I purchased the pattern and have made two for my grandkids. After I quilted them I used my brand new embroidery machine and put their names on them. I am a visual learner too so I really appreciated your video walking me thru it. I was able to pause and rewind when necessary. Now I am going to make me one. Thanks again. It was fun to make.

[@teresaallen4933]

Love the pouch.

[@klparker76401]

This is so cleaver!

[@marthascreativelife]

Love love love!!!

[@carolynestrella3866]

Love the way you explain. Thank you

[@sewbecca]

You are so welcome!

[@yapper80]

How cool that is❤

[@sshirleyks]

You could use the extra quilted piece to make quilted hearts for ornaments or for I Found A Quilted Heart. Cut with pinking shears. It’s really cute.

[@sewbecca]

Oh, cute idea

[@nancydenny3127]

I love that idea. I have found one of those hearts but never made and placed one. I just might do that!

[@shellydicey9454]

Cute bag!!!

[@beckiekettle3637]

I absolutely love this project. Thank you for sharing!

[@sewbecca]

You are so welcome!

[@user-cv2ct4cj8h]

I didn't want to throw out the small scrap triangle so I used it to make a mini pouch! 😍 thanks for an awesome walkthrough.

[@gloriagandy9721]

Great tutorial! Thank you Becca! ❤

[@sewbecca]

You are so welcome!

[@carlabattle8301]

I made this and it was so much fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@starfishsewing4158]

[@TheSewingChannel]

💥Wowser!!! AWESOME Tutorial Girl! You hit this one out of the park! WAY TO GO💥

[@sewbecca]

That means a LOT coming from you, Ms. Tracy! Thank you, my friend!

[@susiepudwill5582]

Oh my happiness. I bought this pattern and love that I have another video to watch for making these!

[@sewbecca]

Looks like happiness is just a pattern away! I'm glad you're loving it and I hope the video helps you create something amazing. Enjoy!

[@opheliacalderone4189]

Bought the pattern last night. Working on it now thanks for the video

[@kbray78me]

Love this Becca I’m making every one and they will be great gifts for family and friends

[@JG-yh8wz]

Bought my pattern this morning and will be making one for my daughter soon! I love it and I really appreciate the tutorial!

[@colleenjolicoeur6059]

I just picked up this pattern, I like your idea of crediting the creator of this pattern for their hard work and creative skill. This looks so fun!!! Making one from an art print rectangle of linen that deserves to be highlighted and used every day. It's a gorgeous deep turquoise and indigo.

[@anitathomas8208]

@colleenjolicoeur6059 We would love to see a pic of your finished project!

[@Cassandra-..-]

Ooooh! That sounds so pretty!😍

[@jennyburden444]

You explain everything so clearly. I too learn as you do (visually). I feel like jumping up and making one right away, thank you.😊

[@jeanlewis9533]

bought the pattern - Thanks Becca

[@btamwen]

Thank you for the tutorial! Looks great!

[@sewbecca]

[@conniekirby851]

[@cathyclaycomb6319]

[@HazelCormack]

Would like to buy pattern how do I do this . Loved your video

[@patriciabrowning5741]

Thank you for the great instructions!

[@sewbecca]

You are so welcome!

[@nancyraymond837]

It helps to find something new- I look through my patterns and kits and can usually find something that excites me. It doesn’t happen very often that I don’t feel like sewing!

[@sewbecca]

It's like a treasure hunt in my sewing room! Who knows what hidden gems I'll find in my patterns and kits that will get me excited to sew again.

[@susanfricks429]

I love this project it is beautiful. I usually start in the middle of the fabric when quilting and work my way outward to make sure it comes out smooth.

[@sewbecca]

That's a great idea!

[@septemberbaby0903]

I bought this pattern last week and have made a few .. easy peasy!

[@suemacfarlane7372]

I've made a few of these, I love them. Thanks for the video.

[@mcr6528]

“Maymay sewed it” has a great solution. No wasted fabrics at all.
