If you are a newbie and dread any project that requires a zipper... don't! This is really easy to make and I designed my video tutorial especially thorough just for you! The video is over 13 minutes long but trust me.... I walk you through every step! Just grab your supplies, laptop/iPad and make it alongside me.To complete this box pouch you'll need:
- 2 fabric pieces measuring 14" x 15"
- 1 batting piece measuring ~15" x 16"
- One 12 zipper
- Pins or Lapel Stick
- coordinating thread
- rotary cutter + mat + rulers
- sewing machine with zipper foot attachment
When you finish yours upload a picture to my Facebook page so we can see your cute little box pouch! We have at least five of these in my house already. My son loves the one I made for him to keep his markers and crayons in. What are you going to use yours for?

DeleteHey Vanessa.
DeleteOn your video, the grey polka dot pouch has a red tab at the end. I would like to add this to the pouch that I am making, so I can attach the pouch to my daughter's violin case. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks.
Great Job, I love your work!!!!!

I have not sewn in a zipper since high school when they used to teach Home Economics which consisted of a sewing class and a cooking class...only sewed in one zipper then and hated it....just made your zipper box pouch and it came out pretty good...can't upload pictures but I am pretty proud of it! Thank you very much...will be checking your blog every now and again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super tutorial!! Thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteHave just made one of the these boxes - only took around 90 minutes (or two episodes of Star Trek:Next Generation < smile >). Have made several zippered pouches in the past but sewing the second side of the zip was always such a "pig in a poke" as we say here in England.
ReplyDeleteSadly, it never occured to me to open the zip - bit of an idiot moment there. May make a few for my house group's Christmas presents.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. It was so easy to follow. I added a little handle and a ribbon to the zipper pull. I'm making the little bags for my grandchildren for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI've been sewing for twenty years and I STILL learn something from your tutorials. You are a very good teacher! Thank you for putting these up!
ReplyDeleteJust ran across this video on YouTube looking for info on installing zippers into pouch items. Your tute is fantastic! Very easy to follow and your directions are very clear. I'm looking forward to doing this soon, as my sewing space recovers from the pre-Thanksgiving purge. lol
