  • Was watching another video and yours popped up next. I've sewn for 68 yrs and not used this method. The comments section is correct, you are very thorough and concise with instructions which is much appreciated. I will pop over to see how Amy does it as well. You're never too old to learn new things. I subscribed and can't wait to see more.

    • I am so happy to see a very long time sewist like me commenting! I have been sewing for 67 years myself and always appreciate new tips. (Sometimes I write "really" or "that is not a typo" after the number, as people do wonder." My life would be completely different without sewing, and my daughters are the same way.

  • I really like the two-sided tabs instead of the butler method and I prefer the top stitching so the lining doesn’t get caught in the zip. Thank you for showing us this method.

You explained it well, I just like bilateral tabs and top stitching. I think it is a cleaner look as I box all my bags. Thank you very very very much for the great video. If I take up garment making I will be a step ahead.

  • I think the curved in ends looks nice, but I like both ends to "match", so I would prefer tabs on both ends. You do very nice work

  • Thank you, what a great way to install a zipper but I especially appreciate you technique on doing the tabs. I'm with you on top stitching the lining to keep it from getting in the zipper. Great tutorial, started following and looking forward to checking out your other videos.

  • This is the best tutorial I've seen yet. I completely concur with your thoughts on the lining. I would worry that the lining would shift up into the zipper.

  • The tips to mark the 3/4" on the fabric and to leave the one side of zipper over the edge so the zipper head does not cause problems are most welcome. ( Zippers have gotten easier for me and now with your tips they will be easier still.) Also, the way you did the zipper tab makes so much sense and will avoid all the difficulty I've been having when I've tried to add side tabs.

  • Christine I am so happy I found your channel. I love this method of zipper but I will be topstitching the lining as well I am afraid it will get caught in the zip. also, I want to make the itty bitty bag. I tried to watch another video on making the Itty Bitty bag last night and two ladies were making it they said they made a couple changes from your pattern, I got so nervous watching them I had to stop watching their video. I thank you for your calm voice and easy way of teaching. Evelyn USA

I was having problems with my internet yesterday and couldn't finish my comment. Thank you again for all you do. No one else does it as good as you
