WIP Wednesday #12: The quickest zipper pouch!

[@martibrown2520]

I've been sewing since I was in 4th grade. I'm 72 now. You are my go-to-girl. If I'm struggling, I look you up and I have learned volumes from you. YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. Excellent.

[@twirlingtuesdayswithkim1015]

I have to say that this is by far THE best zipper pouch tutorial. After I watched this video, I whipped out 6 pouches in an hour. They are perfect! The pattern is very forgiving if you are new to working with zippers. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😍🥳👏🏽

[@gerriebell2128]

Many years ago I wanted to learn how to make a zipper pouch. Yours was the video I followed to make my first pouch:) I had made lots of clothing for my children for many years, but not accessory type things. I think one of your kids was 3 years old at the time. Even though Ive been sewing since I was 16 (I’m 70 now), I still learn things from you:)

[@marthascott292]

She makes her videos easy to follow. Very easy to understand.

[@reginabaillie2535]

Thank you so much for showing us how to make these pouch bags I am making two for my granddaughters for their birthdays I hope it turns out as well as yours. Thank you so much again. I am watching from Tasmania Australia❤❤❤

[@nancygross9422]

Jenny, this pouch tutorial is the one I come back to over and over! I have made several of them already. I just love them, especially the zipper end tabs! That just makes the pouch look so much neater. Thank you...

[@jennyreynolds30]

hi Vanessa , Jenny from England here, I loved making this. used faux leather, added a little lobster clasp, and gave it boxy bottoms on the bottom and the top. thankyou so much x

[@LauraFL9]

I have watched sooooooooo many videos and this by far is the one that helped me the most. Thanks soooooo very much.

[@sgault973]

Love how you explain so thoroughly-not just straight tutorial-more like a discussion with instruction. Thank you.

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Yay! So glad you enjoy it. 🥳❤️

[@marthascott292]

Yes! She has a gift of teaching. She's good at what she does.

[@Kellycreator]

Love this tutorial! I’ve never sewn a zip but have made many projects, I’ve got my pack of zips and am looking forward to trying this out. Thanks so much for your time recording your videos. I’m hoping to make some appliqué name pouches.

[@francesmassey4137]

Working on Pencil bags for Samaritan Purse Christmas Boxes; Having been watching you on youtube for years. First time commenting, so thank God for your gift.

[@deliaramirez6044]

You made me smile when you said if you have your serger still in the box or closet. My sewing machines and serger are in the closet because my husband turned a closet into a sewing room with shelves and storage peg boards. 😀😄

[@lindahoffman2129]

I'm a new at sewing and this came out perfectly, I will be able to make them in different sizes and use up my different pieces of fabric. Thanks!

[@5eagans]

I just figured out what I want to make this year for the kids who come trick or treating at my house. I'll use my cute Halloween fabric to make them these little pouches and put a few pieces of candy or a small toy in them. The kids love getting treats like this! Thank you for sharing!

[@lindashaw18]

I love this pouch. The first thing I made, following your instructions was a bag that you and Jenny Doan taught. It was so simple. Cut out a base out of Bosal double sided fusible and a jelly roll. I’ve got a lot of compliments on it. Thank you.

Thanks for great tutorial. I love your very cute projects! Thanks for your time!

[@kimberlykaufman]

Just came across this video. Super great idea for a cute handmade gift. Will be making some for holiday gifts. Thanks for such great tutorials; your teaching style is wonderful. I’ve watched so many of your videos and didnt realize you were in FLORIDA. Greetings from Ft Lauderdale!!

[@lynetterene]

I just love watching you Vanessa. I may not get a chance to catch live shows or to comment often, but I really, really love the way you teach. I am definitely going to order the interfacing 😉

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Thanks so much, Lynette! 🥰❤️

[@lynetterene]

@@TheCraftyGemini Vanessa....may I ask you a fast question....didn't realize how many different zippers there are...lol. The one for this project is #3, is it a plastic zipper?

[@prudencepatnoad3165]

Can't wait to try it! Making your Christmas stockings first. Thank you for your great directions.

[@kaybaertlein541]

I've always been afraid to do zippers but you explained this very well. I am excited to make my pouch,. Thank you so much!

[@idareandevers9211]

I love watching you make this little pouch bag, Thanks

[@alliemendez5655]

[@shirleynoble774]

Love your tutorials!!! Thank you bunches

[@geraniaceae4470]

the glue stick or lapel stick was a wonderful suggestion. It's helped me so much with my mask making projects.

[@madeleincoetzee5636]

I wish I could live in the States, you guys just have all the best accessories and patterns.. I'm from South Africa and we struggle to just get a normal sewing pattern... I love Crafty Gemini wish I was closer to get those rulers... Thanks for these awesome tutorials.

[@ruthcline5465]

Love your tutorials! 🥰

[@barbarasaracini1271]

Don't you have Amazon where you live?

[@madeleincoetzee5636]

It's just too expensive for us and it take months to get here now with the pandemic we have a lot of problems getting stuff to South Africa...and not everything are available for shipping to South Africa.

[@lorrainedupre6164]

You are so amazing, and you explain so well, that anyone can follow you. I’ll let you know how my pouches turn out. Thank you.

[@lauracook2011]

I would love to make one of these lined!

[@anamariagil2898]

I have to laugh when you talk about us ppl who "have a serger...in a box...in a closet...". I honestly purchased the tights course from you just cuz you were including serger lessons & I knew I'd be able to finally learn serging from you. 🤗

[@ginaroberts1880]

Love all your videos

[@leapscrafts1488]

I just made this pouch and it turned out great. Thank you so much!

[@gaylewilliams1140]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. My first time seeing the use of an longer zipper to the item. Very clever.

[@joanhaggerty5177]

I have learned so much from you! Thank you!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! 🥳❤️

[@scm330]

I’m very glad I found you 2 months ago. I prefer your teaching method to anything else that I’ve found. Thank you! I really like the bag tutorials. Do you have one for backpacks? Sometimes I find myself wanting to carry a sling backpack vs my purse!

[@janesavage4733]

Thank you for the tutorial on the quick zipper pouch. Just wondering why there was print on both sides of the fabric.

You are my go to for instructions. Thank you for your help. 87 year old Grammy 45:01

[@ROMEKBNY]

If you wanted a lining, what would be the best time and way to do it? After you fuse the interfacing? Just sew it on facing out before adding the zipper?

[@cherylparker2007]

Hi fist time tuning in from Perry Fla.

[@marialevick9437]

Hi I'm looking forward to your classes,from Maria in the UK

[@strangenesscharm1230]

Hi Vanessa! Can you post a video on how to line this pouch? I know I can sew it in but could use seeing you do it. Lol . Also, I have bought so many items from your store. Thank you so much for shipping so quickly in these crazy times! I love the DecoFuse. I buy it all the time from your store. ❤️

[@lindamacdonell1704]

So. How about a server day

[@lindamacdonell1704]

That's server day.

[@lindamacdonell1704]

Tablet won't let me have serger. Really!

[@ljtilmon]

Miami is my hometown, too. Are you still on the Knit and Crochet Now! Channel? I haven't seen you lately.

[@hajalpatel4376]

Hello :) How do you add a lining? Such a nice tutorial and very detailed!

[@kimberlykaufman]

Question- can this be made out of cotton fabric with a lining? Do you have a tutorial for that? Again- love your tutorials!💚💚💚

[@donnasitton3408]

Hi on the road from Mississippi to Texas.

[@sherrybuskirk6312]

Hi. Luv the tutorial. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how that little Juki sews thru the cork and the faux leather for the pouches. How well or not so well does it handle the heavier fabric.

Found you recently and have watched many of your videos. You are a fabulous instructor! Love your family and your animals, too. Question: do you prefer metal zippers for specific projects? Wish I had your energy!

Hello from Jacksonville

[@candlesoftheearthbestcandl995]

Can you use 1 whole sheet of vinyl or cork to do this pouch? And if so is it hard to work with and can you ad a liner with that? Thank you
