Love your video classes on Craftsy. I’ll be making my first bag this week and looking forward to posting the finished product. Thank you so much for sharing the updated dimensions for different size bags.

Thoroughly enjoyed both classes. I love watching and learning this way. The instructions are clear and concise and a pleasure to follow. I definitely have got the bug to make more… Thank you Kirstin

Thanks so much for this project!! I have really enjoyed making this pouch. I first made the business card size one, then wanted to make one for my ipad mini. I thought I would share the measurements that I figured out with everyone. This size works well for anyone who may want to use this for their ipad mini or e-reader (kindle, nook, etc…). The bag will finish up being 6.5x 9.5 inches
Zipper 6.5 inches
Strap 3×4
Front top exterior and lining= 7.5in x 2.5in/ Fusible fleece = 6.5in x 1.5in
Front bottom exterior and lining= 7.5in x 8.5in/ Fusible fleece= 6.5in x 7.5in
Back= 7.5inx 10.5in/ Fusible fleece= 6.5x 9.5in
I have pictures if anyone wants to see.
Thanks again for the tutorial!!

I just made my first bag in the original size – it looks as nice on the inside as it does on the outside – I love that! I was a bit nervous at the end when I was turning it right sides out – it didn’t look like it was going to work so I thought I had done something wrong, but nope – it was fine I’ve made a lot of zipper bags so I went by the pdf instructions until it was time to sew the side seams – then I had to check the video to see how to orient the fabric. A quick peek showed me what I needed to know, I finished the bag, and now I need to make a set (or two, or three …) in all the sizes – I just love this! It’s easy too – there’s nothing fiddly or fussy about it – it’s a simple bag that looks really well done when it’s finished – THANK YOU!

Still not a real fan of Craftsy, because I’m not a “video learner”. I like to have something in print that I can look at for a long time. Yes, I know that you can get a PDF version of the tutorials, but it’s pretty well hidden. I didn’t expect to find the PDF by going to the Materials Tab of the video. I initially assumed that Materials would be the fabric, notions, etc. that were needed for the pattern. Was I the only one who couldn’t find the PDF – or needed something in print?
