Your attention to detail is outstanding! Thank you for sharing your talent.

One of your bag dudes here. As you can imagine, I make bags that are utilitarian in nature. Bags and cases to carry important electronic equipment, or safeguard something fragile and irreplaceable. I've been looking for a perfect pattern to make a travel case for my JBL Charge3 bluetooth speaker. This will fit the bill, although the dimensions are almost too tight. And I'll have to make it with a nice durable zipper. I"m a guy. We sometimes like overkill. When I told my ailing mother last year that I wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine, she suggested quilting, and bag making. I figured bags are utilitarian in nature. Sometimes, guys hate to admit it, but we do carry some form of purse. We call it a messenger bag, back pack, man bag, man purse or Murse. It doesn't matter to me. I've carried some kind of bag with my stuff in it since I was in the military. Old habits are hard to break. I've learned so much from watching and following along with your patterns. Thanks for all of your great tutorials.

Steve Graham You can even make a quilted/ foam backed draw string pouch if you find zippers a pain.

Thank you so much. The corners are a bit confusing but will replay & sew one soon.

Hi Sara, I just run into your tutorials. You explain each step so well and how to sew the pattern parts on the machine. Great job!

By far, you give the best tutorials I've ever seen Sara! Love watching you sew!! You are very inspirational and look forward to all your creations! Thanks for sharing!

Love these lace zippers! I am going to use this pattern as my beginner bag. It looks great!

So great to have you back! And thanks for sharing this free pattern and the excellent tutorial.

Thanks so much for the tutorial. It is so helpful to see it in "the flesh" as opposed to just on paper. Your instructions are very clear and make it seem so easy. I always wondered how certain things are done and how you figured out all the steps is impressive. Thanks again.

Thank-you for such a detailed video. Great instructions! I love the way you not only give helpful hints, but also explain why they are important. I noticed you also remind the person watching to re-set the stitch size. Keep up the great work. From the video of your hands and your voice, you are young, but with lots of knowledge about sewing. A great video for beginners and those of us with gray hair.

Thanks sarah for this excellent tutorial. I just finished my first one and gave it to my friend for her birthday. The lace zipper adds such a feminine touch. She absolutely loved it! I appreciate all your great videos, patterns and information. 💕🧵✂️

This bag is fantastic! Thanks for sharing .

You make it look sew easy!!! Thank you for your videos!

Just discovered your tutorial. Presented so well and such a lovely voice. And just the boxy bag I've been looking for. You make it look so easy - hope I do justice by your pattern and instructions. Thank you for being so generous via the pattern and SVG. Look forward to more of your tutorials. Thank you again.

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this

Thanks so much for the tutorial !! Your videos are the best !!

Thank you for this tutorial! ❤️ watching you work. I am a newbie to sewing anything but quilts.

Thanks, great tutorial as always. And I love the cheerful colours of your fabric and zipper. Will make a pouch asap :)

Hey there from a bag dude just learning how to make a bag. Thanks for your videos they are helping me a lot. Your a good teacher in your tutorials. You make me want to learn more. Keep up the great work.

Great video Sara. Thank you 💕

A little extra fussing but the finished inside seams are worth the time. Made many pouches with only served inside seams. This looks much nicer. Thanx

Fab tutorial as always. Thank you Sara ☆

Beautiful. .love it!

Hi there thank you so much, your voice was so clear to understand how to follow, and i just love your free pattern thank you again

Semplicemente perfetta nelle spiegazioni. Complimenti sinceri!

Love the fabric

So good to see you!!

Thank you, thank you. Great teaching.

Really cool pouch!

Hi Sara - Awesome tutorial. I actually have those zippers and have used them in simple projects. Thanks for explaining how to sew them into a complex bag. I made a box pouch a few years ago and wish I had your tutorial back then. It would have been so much easier. Now that I have watched you make it, next one will be a lot better. I am going to use the soft and stable foam to my next one as well. It gives the bag a great shape looking at your bag. Great job. PS - I am a proud bag lady! 😊🧵

SO CUTE THANK YOU!!

beautiful thank you will try it have a bunch of the lace zippers

Hey,thanks for sharing.I have learnt a lot of tips from you.all the best.

Love your demonstrations by far the best on you tube also great you let us have patterns I have always made separate linings for box pouches so an inavative way of attaching linings thanks again

A great tutorial. Thanks for your presentation. I made one with raw seams inside but wasn’t happy with it. Looks like I will be happy with my next one.

Love this pattern and I can't wait to make it. I was unable to download the PDF. Thanks for sharing with us, Sara.

Such attention to detail!

Hello, thank you for your great tutorials

I so need to make one , but may need it longer in length :) My sister needs a knitting needle bag . I love this design and the ease of the sew out. Now to go on a zipper search. I have the cutest pink kitty and yarn ball fabric. Hope my pink zippers are long enough!

Very beautiful 😊thank you

Excellent tutorial! Well done.

Thank you, Sara!!! xox

Thank you for the video and free pattern. I hope I can figure out how to put in a regular zipper for masculine bags.

Thank you for including in your download that all measurements are width X height. Almost no one does that and it is incredibly helpful to me. This is such a great project! I loved the video tutorial as well.

Thanks Sara! I’ve been wanting to use one of those zippers! Hope you are doing well

At about 19:37 in the video, and in the pattern step 8 second paragraph -- I think I will sew the ends of the lining fabric together first and then sew the lining and exterior fabric all the way across. It should have the same result but be a bit easier to handle.

Super chouette ! thanks

So nice to hear your voice and see you back!!! Hello from 104 degree Orangevale, CA.

Very very nice 🌹thank you 🌺

I am SEW happy I found your video Sara! I was wondering what unique hand made gift I could give my sewing/quilting friends and this bag is just PERFECT! I also have an embroidery machine, so I am going to experiment with adding machine embroidered designs to the side of the bag! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you

Thanks.

So EXCITED to do this project!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

A great pattern and tutorial. I can't print the pattern so I would like to know the measurements so I can cut without the paper pattern.

What kind of machine do you have? It looks so easy to work with. Great video!

I struggled with boxing the corners and sewing over the handle. Finally had to hand sew bits of it by hand because I kept breaking needles. But the project turned out well in the end.

I love it!!! But u must tell me where u got the scissors

It’s great to see you back and thank you for this beautiful pattern. Can’t wait to try it! Where do you get the lace zipper from?

You can order them from Amazon

So if I want it a little bigger how big would I have to print it

Could you sew all the way across the lining at the boxed end before sewing to the outer and then do the shorter seam when attaching them instead of those very short seams on the lining?

Wonderful project. Looks amazing when finished. Where do you get your lace zipper from?

I wonder if it would be easier ti sew that 1/2 inch of lining first then sewing the rest of the way on the foam.

Do you ever get any shrinkage after applying the Shape-Flex?

Fantastic tutorial! I love how detailed you are. I have a question. What is the purpose of leaving that half inch unsewn?

@bronwyncarr6714

On step 8 you sew the exterior and lining separately so leaving a gap enables them to be split for sewing

HI. I'm a new subscriber and I'm new to sewing. I want to make bags, and find your tutorials very helpful. My sewing machine struggles with heavier fabrics and seams. What kind/model machine do you use?

Sarah, can i use waterproof fabric for this project and if so, do you iron on shapeflex using a cloth and a cooler iron

Genius! I have made box pouches before, but your method is WAY easier and I think will be a better finished product than those I have previously made. And for all of the bag dudes, wouldn't this be great in a manly fabric like camo or denim to be used for a shaving kit? Thinking about getting a head start on Christmas gifts for family members with toiletries included. Thank you Sara, for another great pattern.
