Love your sense of humor while working through this tutorial. It's a great reminder that this should be FUN, not a chore - something to enjoy, mistakes and all. Thank you for sharing.

Hands-down, this is the best zipper overlay Video I’ve seen yet! Obviously, the other ones didn’t work for me because I was still searching videos on how to sew a zipper overlay😂. I love your sense of humor, you crack me up😊

I love that the YT community doesn't have this weird competition between creators. We all have different ways of teaching and explaining how things work. Everyone benefits from the differing perspectives! On Twitch, there's a lot more "drama" when streamers do the same or similar things as it's a fight for live viewers.

I love your videos!! I love the way you teach and your sense of humor!!! You are amazing and talented!!

You seriously crack me up! Get another cricket cutter! 😆 I wish people were more like you!

I really want the Brother Scan-n-Cut, but after I sold the Cricut from barely using it for over a year, I'm not sure I can convinced the family that it's a sound decision :P

That was a terrific video, as always, fun and really clear so, thank you

Thank you sew very much for the clear (and funny) zipper overlay instructions! This video helped me to understand exactly how to do this and it made me laugh out loud! 🤣

You are such an AMAZING teacher and too funny!!! Love this video!

I appreciate it when you have to move or alter what you’re making so don’t apologize!

That was a great, clearly explained tutorial- I’m excited to try this

I used my Cricut with the slice feature to remove the middle section from the zipper overlay. It was so easy.

The Pemberley Pouch pattern uses this technique. I was very happy to find your video to make sure I install the zipper correctly. Great video!

Hi, first of all I love your tutorials. They are very informative. I have a question. I made my whole bag and I am finding that the zipper is too wide. Can I do an overlay ,when the bag is already done and put the overlay on top of zipper

Very nice!

I don't think it'll look weird! If there's enough room for it on the sides, give it a try? Usually when I'm not sure, I'll make it first out of some super cheap vinyl or canvas.

Doesn’t this leave the zipper only supported by the vinyl overlay? What prevents that from tearing?

@fiercekittenz

Жыл бұрын

No, it is also sewn into the panel of the bag when you topstitch both inner and outer portions.

Would this work on a large scale? Like putting it over the main zipper of a duffle bag?

@fiercekittenz

I haven't tried, but I wouldn't see why not - you'd probably just put vinyl strips next to the zipper on either side instead of doing what I've done here though.

That's my secret. I'm always tired.

wondering why you put the tape at the top, doesn't this mean you are sewing over the tape? IAnd doesn't it gum up your needle? it does on mine. would put it in the middle so you do not have to sew either line on the tape. comments?

@fiercekittenz

Жыл бұрын

You can do either! I don’t have issues with gumming of the needle. This is Tandy Leather’s tape so maybe that’s why?

This is a super useful and very amusing tutorial. Could you do another using fabric rather than vinyl? Or at least give some advice? Bunching corners and hours of my life lost trying to make welts look professional. I like this technique and am going to try it today!

@fiercekittenz

Жыл бұрын

So for the overlay you'd definitely want to stick to vinyl or leather. I wouldn't advise doing anything with canvas or wovens in general there. You could put this on top of woven though and not worry about any of the raw edges showing. They'll get encased! In fact, I did several leading up to this tutorial that were in canvas.

@@fiercekittenz not even with some stabiliser and thermo-collant ? I've been doing experiments with fusing fabric to plastic to see how it behaves. I think it's possible but it would have to be very stable and not frey. But I just need to try. That's the part of bag making I really love is solving problems, finding new and better techniques. Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying the tutorials. Let your freak flag fly.

Great technique (as usual). ((Might be me, but from 37:37 - 37:56 on a couple of different devices, the video froze while the audio continued.))
