How to Make Triangle Zipper Pouches- Video Tutorial
I’m back this week with a new video tutorial. My most recent video tutorials are longer than some of my older ones but so far it seems like that’s a good thing! No negative comments so far and it seems most viewers are preferring the more detailed and in-depth video tutorials. What do you think? Leave me a comment below and tell me your thoughts!
Let’s give a longer tutorial a go again with these
{Math geek note: Technically, I should call them tetrahedron zipper pouches but I don’t think that is likely to be a popular searchable keyword for search engines.}

This is a beginner friendly project that can be made smaller or bigger depending on the pieces of fabric (and zipper) you start with. I decided to make use of some Cotton Steel 10″ x 10″ squares I had on hand and split them right down the middle. To get two pieces of fabric that measure 5″ x 10″. If you don’t mind having the same fabric for the outside and lining then all you need for fabric is that one 10″ x 10″ square.
I used a 7″ nylon zippers with plastic teeth and metal stops. These are my favorite for small craft projects like this. You can find a big bundle of zippers in an assortment of colors for less than $7 right HERE.
The interfacings I used for this project were Pellon’s Fusible Thermolam Plus and Shape-Flex. You can get these by the yard at your local fabric stores or online HERE and HERE.
I also got a new sewing machine! Well, actually I bought three new machines- a computerized machine, a mechanical straight stitch workhorse and a new air threading serger! I’ve sent back my Janome loaner machines, and I’m selling off some of my older Brother, Janome and Husqvarna Viking machines. Gotta sell some of the collection to cover the costs of my new ones! I had the opportunity to use a Juki TL98Q while I was at a quilting retreat in Iowa a few months ago and I fell in love with the quality of the machine. I’m over the moon with my new babies and will be posting full video reviews of each one soon. So, stay tuned for that!
If you are interested in more info on the Juki Exceed F-600 sewing machine I use in this video tutorial let me tell you it is da bomb.com! I got it from Sew-Mini Things in Mt. Dora, FL. It was a two hour drive for me and totally worth it! Timm, the owner is a sewing machine genius who services any and all sewing machines (mechanical and computerized) and he sells Baby Lock, Juki, Elna, Necchi, and some top of the line Singer sewing machines. There is something for everyone there. If you live in the Central Florida area give him a visit and tell him I sent ya! He gave me some great prices on the machines and the customer service was awesome. Oh, and it’s a quilt shop owned and run by men! Love it! {More on the machines I got coming soon!}
Here is the video tutorial for the triangle zipper pouches! Enjoy! And remember to leave me your thoughts on the longer (10 minutes) video tutorials. Thanks and happy sewing!
