Step-by-step pouch tutorial. Zipper tabs and boxed bottom!

[@laurielbk]

I've watched this video like 4 times now and I love the way you teach. I like your soft-spoken manner and I also like that you don't rush through things and I like the way you show us everything that you sew on the machine. Very great teaching techniques! Thank you so much!

[@DandelionStitches]

Thanks, Laurie! xo

[@Dianah1952]

Thank you Holly! You have helped me very much and I appreciate it. Blessings to you!

[@keithnowicki6319]

Thank you so much for this wonderful detailed instructional video!! I have made 4 pouches so far and all turned out great. I personalized each by embroidering the recipient’s name on outside fabric before starting construction. Especially appreciate you reminding us to change the stitch length at the appropriate time. I would have forgotten!😊

[@mollyfahlin6380]

Thanks for this! I paused and played and sewed right along with you. Wonderful!

[@janecarter9502]

I love your quiet, positive approach and especially your slow and easy-to-follow demonstrations! You take your time! The videos that cover sewing steps at warp speed do not impress. (btw I've been sewing for over sixty years --- true! And I'm still alive and still sewing!) Plus, your links to helpful online sources, like Annie's zippers, are wonderfully helpful.

[@DandelionStitches]

Thanks, Jane. I appreciate the kind words, especially from such a skilled sewer!

[@kathleensaldana1839]

You are a lovely person and do a great job teaching others. Thank you!

[@DandelionStitches]

You're so welcome!

[@cathynuytten798]

I’m using your video as a sew along. I watch you do something, press pause, then do that step and then continue on. This is a perfect video! Thank you for sharing your time and expertise!

[@DandelionStitches]

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

[@omasharonie1]

Of all the ones I've watched on making pouches yours is the easiest to follow. Thank you

Thank you for the long tutorial lol it’s exactly what I needed I kept getting confused when adding the second exterior and lining pieces and you helped me to finally figure it out. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤

Thank you for the super helpful tutorial! And now I've got a cute little bag. Thanks!

You are so welcome!

[@vforvargon]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I couldn’t be happier with the make-up bag I made for my aunt by following your clear and easy steps. Watching and sewing along with you really felt like hanging out with a friend. I also love that you left in some parts where you made mistakes, because it made me feel like even the pros do the same flubs as relative beginners like me!

[@sabrinayuma9289]

I thought you were so thorough. Appreciate it all, giving all the examples of stabilizer options etc. I passed it on to two of my friends after we did it as a group. So fun!

[@DandelionStitches]

Thanks so much for watching, Sabrina, an for sharing with your friends! I really appreciate it.

It was worth every minute watching you make this pouch. You make it look pretty easy. Thank you/.

[@IMOO1896]

It’s amazing just the difference in the fabric, makes the project look totally different. The red and yellow is such a cute bag.

[@dianehuntley2493]

You are a very patient teacher! Thank you😊

I love the way mine turned out thanks to the way you guided us. I will keep practicing with this video. Thank you so much!

This is such a great tutorial. I revisit every time I make a pouch. I’ve made a variety of sizes and different batting and quilting which gives different looks too. Thank you ❤

[@Tracya102469]

Oh my goodness!! Perfect video!! You make it so easy to follow! ❤

[@royyeo2909]

I have just finished making this pouch and I am over the moon with how it turned out. Thank you so much for your super tutorial. I paused it and did the steps and then watched some more. Terrific teacher! Thank you.

You are so welcome!

[@barbarahillegass2135]

Absolutely the BEST tutorial I have watched and I have watched many! Thank you. I now understand why my bag looked as it did. I was not adding fabric ends. I certainly will now. Cannot wait to try your technique ❣️

So glad you found it helpful!!

[@elizabethmohr8752]

I have a hard time making bags. This bag turned out perfect. Excellent tutorial! I really like the extra fabric over the zipper ends-gives it a professional touch 👌

[@DandelionStitches]

So happy to hear it was helpful!

[@marymanolis9131]

I just found this channel and this video was perfect! I had some leftover fabric from a tote and watching your video helped me realize I just need the top of the pouch and the zipper to sync up in size and everything else can be free form. Thank you! I have a great pouch to go with the tote as a holiday gift and I can't wait to make more. You are a great teacher 🙂

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have struggled making a zipper pouch for the past 3 days. Thanks to your video, I was able to clearly see where to align the zipper foot.
