I am surprised this channel hasn't blown up. Its perfect. I cant even decide which video to watch next....did she just say fat quarter friendly? Love it.

I just love how you film your tutorials!!! They are so straight forward with clear instructions and great camera angles! ❤️💕

I love the clarity of your instructions, always giving the “why” as well as the “what.” It is SO helpful, especially to those of us who are “bag beginners.” Thank you!

This is fantastic. I love how you are organized, efficient and pay attention to details.

I use food safe PUL from Wazoodle and asked their support team about wrong and right side. Was told depends on use. When using the Food safe PUL, the shiny side is the food safe side and used against the food.

Thank you Beth! After your email I reached out to them as well. The food safe said is the shiny side, but the fabric side is also safe to use, just not tested for foods at various temperatures like the shiny side is (it might stain, too, with liquid foods). I really appreciate your help and advice! One day I'll get the ride side of PUL right in a video!

Shiny side if food involved. Cleans easier

I made 15 of these this weekend for my son’s upcoming wedding shower and I plan on doing 15 more before Saturday! It’s truly addicting lol. I am having so much fun coordinating fabrics and zippers!

Top-notch tutorial, as always. Thank Jess for taking the time to teach!

I just stumbled upon your channel and I am so happy I did. I have never seen one person have so many different bag tutorial options. I was tired of the same kind of tote bag and zipper pouch. Your bags are beautiful.

LOVE your videos so much! You do a fantastic job at explaining how to make these awesome projects😊

I have been sewing for years and have made many little pouches like this one so I almost didn't listen to this video BUT I am so glad I did!!! If someone has never made one the instructions are about the best I have ever watched. Plus, I even learned some wonderful tricks I wasn't using that I will definitely use in the future. So impressed I decided to subscribe - you should too.

Finally! A video that doesn't mess around with fiddly little zipper tabs! I have been wondering why nobody does what you just did. When you say, "we," are you talking you and your mom, or the royal we? Just wondering. I have been meaning to make a batch of these, so now you have inspired me! Thanks from Orlando.

Thank you for this tutorial, it was wonderful! I will add though that I hate PUL with an unholy passion. I made 3 pouches - I laughed, I cried, I rage snacked. But, most importantly, I now have 3 cute snack pouches and I feel like making 1000 more. Thank you xx

I’ve been following your videos for quite some time and this is my first comment. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching. I find your videos thoroughly relaxing and very inspiring. You’re very humble, well spoken, prepared, encouraging and organized. I’ve watched other bag makers on KZread but hands down you’re my favourite. All the best from a Canadian fan 😊

So cute! I love that plaid with the pink vinyl! Thanks for this!

Yes this is adorable. You also give good clear instructions!! Thanks

Awesome Tutorial, Jess! Thank you. I am thinking I will swap out insulbright for fusible fleece to make it usable to keep cold snacks in. I need to eat on a regular basis to keep my blood sugars from dropping (I'm hypoglycemic) and I like to have string cheese or Greek yogurt cups on hand for my snacks. 😊 While it wouldn't keep the items cold for hours on end, it would keep them cool for an afternoon trip out to the park or for errands.

I made one!! Yay!! Thank you, I forgot to add the tab for a keyfob, oh well, next one.

I just made my first bag! Using your tutorial for the snack bags it's fabulous my mum will love it!

Gahhh, I just made this bag and it’s so adorable. I didn’t make it as a snack bag but to put wires in and I’m going to make many more and eventually snack ones when I get food grade fabric. I love it so much. I used denim for the bottom and cotton canvas for the top and water proof ripstop for the lining. The tutorial was so helpful.

Thanks for this tutorial… I made a bunch in my own design snack bags for my family with Wazoodle PUL… we all absolutely love them. And no more single use plastic zippy bags. Wazoodle company is in the town I grew up in… it’s MADE IN USA Bensalem, PA!!! PUL tip- use a roller presser foot, or a teflon foot to prevent slipping… also, Janome blue tip sewing machine needle is amazing for sewing this… my Schmetz needles were sticking before a local shop owner suggested it… and I don’t have a Janome- works with any standard machine.

I think you explain things very good. And you show us as you go. I am dyslexic so I have to look very hard to get it right. Thank you very much.

Headed to my sewing machine right now to make some snack bags! Thx for the tutorial!

I just followed your instructions and made myself a lovely little wristlet. I just got my snack bag template and they will be my next big project.

I'll be making these for grandkids going back to school. 👏🏼👏🏼👍😉

As always, a great and thorough tutorial. Actually this is the best one I've watched of many many many on making a small zippered pouch. Covers all the usual questions and gives all the needed reminders!! Thank you:)

Thank you Jessica ! Will be making these ! Your videos make my Mondays

I made one of these for my sewing machines parts with Tula pink sewing machine fabric and I just love it so much !! I will be making more. Thank you Jessica so much

This would be great in my workplace. I work in corrections and we can only bring in clear items. I love your clear pouch items and this will be on my list for my coworkers.

I just bought a heavy duty sewing machine so I'm gonna try this project! Thank you

I've made many bags similar to this over the years. I really like how you do the zipper on this and that was great for me to learn. It was much easier to sew the sides together though, past the zipper end areas with my zipper foot. Thanks for the great tutorial...

This is a really good size pouch, perfect for not to small fabric scraps.

Thank you for the explanation on the Pul material. I thought I was doing something wrong. It was over stretching. I threw the project in the garbage.

I really want to add these to my products of my small business, I currently sell scrunchies and headbands :)

You can also use an M&M bag to make the snack bag!! Carefully cut apart the M&M bag, and apply iron on vinyl on top. Fussy cut to center the design for the upper piece, then use it like regular fabric. You can search KZread and Google for tutorials with videos! 🥰

So cute and fun! They're so nice its hard to believe that they're for snacks🤩 this is truly the best idea and machine washable that's awesome! Thank you and as always stay well🙂

Try making your own beeswax linings for your bags. Just wipe with cool water. Refresh wax about once a year

Awesome snack bags! I will definitely be making some. Love your tutorials, you are always so upbeat.

you are so very informative and so easy to understand. Thank You

What a great tutorial! I'll have to give this a try

I luckily have a Teflon presser foot and zipper foot. Great bag!

Great video, I need to make some of these. And of course I happen to have the blue pul, so thanks for the stretch maintenance tips 😉

just placed my first order for the food approved PUL thanks for the link

What a cute pattern! And great tutorial as always! I wonder if you could use a strip of tearway when you are sewing the pull and then rip it off when you are done.

These are so cute! Thank you so much for your videos! I do love them!! Question, I didn’t think vinyl is washable. Whenever I find it in the fabric store it says spot clean only, or something like that. Is there a certain kind to buy that is machine washable?

Hi Jess, great tutorial as always. Just had a quick question please. Can you machine wash and dry waterproof canvas? I am new at sewing bags and could not find the answer anywhere. I would love to use it inside bags. Thank you!

thank you, like it

I just saw this video a few days ago and I have questions on "food Safe" PUL fabric. I bought some PUL and was alarmed at the chemical smell. How and where did you validate it is "food safe"? Thanks,

Great Project. What kind of zipper tape do you use and where do you purchase it from?

The link for the pul fabric isnt work... dang it! Hopefully, that issue will resolve. I know it's not your doing. Fabulous video, per the usual! 😁❤🙂🥰

Hi, I am new to embroidering. After watching you several times I have decided to make a bag. It was intimidating at first but your description was so easy to watch and understand. I do have a question. Who helped you get your website up and running? TY

Where did u get this rainbow zipper? And can home machine see right over the teeth?

Hi Jess!!!! Love your videos!!!! Thank you so much!!! Are you washing your quilt cotton first for your snack bags?

I love this little bag Jess! Thank you for sharing the measurements. How much do you sell them for ?

Hi. Have you heard of odicoat ? It is painted on fabric to make it waterproof.😃

How about putting your tag on the seam? Lol- half on top, half on bottom. :)

Cute! How much do you charge for them?

Hi Jess. And many of your tutorials you talked about your waterproof canvas. Where do you purchase your waterproof canvas? You have such cute prints and nice colors and anything I have seen online it just looks like industrial strength like for boats and stuff like that. I've looked at a few of your tutorial links and I've not seen it listed in there. Thank you very much. If you don't mind me asking what do you sell your snack bags for? I'm thinking of making some of these to try and sell at craft fairs or just online. If you're not comfortable giving that information I totally understand.

Love these Jess. Thank you for sharing. I don't see them in your shop. Do you have some listed?

I make my tabs longer so joined into seam.always have. I can't comprehend why you are doing it like bias binding.

I have found that it is easier to sew with the PUL on the bottom.

I love love your videos. I use your sewing projects nearly exclusively so I can access your videos. They are the best .Thank you. I have made several of these snack bags and I love them. However, I was uncertain about the PUL fabric. In this video, you instruct to use the fabric-like side as front which means it lies next to the food. I have watched and re-watched and hope I am correct in interpreting your instruction. Since I was confused, I contacted Wazoodle about the PUL fabric and they were very clear that the 'shiny' side should be next to the food. Please let me know where I have confused this issue. Thanks!!!

Love your organization .... where can I get those zippers?

Love this I going to made some.for my shop.how much do you sell them for.thanks God.bless

How does your vinyl hold up in the wash? Anything I don’t have to wash by hand is top notch for me 😅

How do these go when it comes to freshness? Do the chips go stale, do the sandwiches go off? Would love to know. Thanks 😊

Chips and dry snacks would probably be OK for awhile, longer in Denver than in Jacksonville. Peanut butter and jelly would be OK but not stuff that is wet or needs to be kept cold.

A Teflon sewing foot, mine looks like white plastic, works well with vinyl. Should would work with PUL fabric also.

Do you dry this in the dryer after washing in the machine or air dry? Thanks.

It's actually good to throw PUL fabric in the dryer. It actually helps bring it back to life (tightens up the stretch,etc). It was a trick I learned from someone. I'm not sure about the vinyl though.
