Adding a Zipper Closure to the Teloujay Bag - Country Cow Designs

In this video I'll show how to add a zipper closure to the Teloujay bag. Please read the safety information at the bottom before beginning.
You'll need to own the Teloujay pattern, which can be purchased from my website: countrycowdesigns.com/product...
.
To add the zipper panel, you'll need the following:
11" zipper tape & 1 zipper pull
Exterior fabric to match the top of your Teloujay, cut:
2 measuring 11 1/4" x 1 1/4"
2 measuring 7 3/4" x 1 5/8"
Lining fabric, cut:
2 measuring 7 3/4" x 1 5/8"
SAFETY
In this video I use various tools and equipment. Please ensure you only attempt this at home if you are experienced at using the tools and have read and followed the necessary safety instructions provided by the manufacturer of each tool. This video is a very quick overview and I do not cover the full safety precautions in this video. Carry it out at your own risk. I cannot be held accountable for injuries or mistakes made when following this tutorial.

    Thanks for this great method for adding the zipper top. Already finished my lining section. Now have to wait for my hardware to arrive in the mail. Love this bag already.

    This is a great tutorial! 💖 I only had to rip it out 3 times - 😊 - but I finally got it right! I will definitely be using this for other bags because I love to have the zipper closing. Thank you so much for doing this!!! Just one question pertaining to attaching it to the outer bag, everything gets folded in (zipper top), correct?

    Thank you so much for doing this awesome video. I really like the look of recessed zippers. I’ve been waiting for this to start my Teloujay. Sorry about your finger...🩹 I am constantly hurting my hands in some way 😏

    awesome-I've made 3 Teloujay bags without the zip-will be fun to make more bags with-thanks for explaining it so well!! Do you have a link to buy the metal end? I do like that look! I'm in the states-maybe Amazon has it?

    The bag in this video appears to be the larger version. If so, what zipper length & fabric measurements are used for the smaller size? Thanks

  • @CountryCowDesigns

    @CountryCowDesigns

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hey, it’s the same measurements for both sizes because the large and small are only different in height so the same zip panel fits both sizes 😁

  • @beckyezra1

    thank you very much. small question (i am a beginner so may b it is stupid but I don't understand yet:) if you do this only after you add it to the outside of the bag, or do you connect the sides of the lining to the outside of the bag and then do the zipper the way you show on the video? ( i hope it is clear).

  • @CountryCowDesigns

    So after this, you connect the top of the lining to the top of the exterior and sew the tops together. Then when you turn it right sides out and the lining is inside, the zipper panel will be inside too, just a little lower than the top of the lining. I have a full tutorial for the Teloujay if it helps - you can see how it’s constructed after this because it’s constructed exactly the same at the end, whether you have the zipper panel or not. Hope that makes sense?

    What do you mean? The idea to add a zipper panel? No, it’s something I’ve been doing since I started writing patterns. There was a zipper panel like this in my first pattern 👍🏻

    Hi, could you let me know which bit is not visible? I usually find that the overhead camera shot is best overall but if there’s a problem with it then it’s probably the same in all my videos as I use the same angle for all my videos now 😬 in which case, we need to make a change. Thanks!
