If you wanted one with the exact measurements of the original American Apparel bag it's 12 1/2" x 16 1/4" for the large pouch. Hope I helped :D

[DiLLyi]

inspired to create a laptop and ipad sleeve with furniture fabrics!! thank you so much for the tutorial

[ImmaShiaholic]

I just finished mine, and it didn't turn out so good :/ I think the faux leather fabric bought was too thin and it looks weird when I hold it. Oh well I guess I'll try again

[danniigurl111]

Thanks so much For posting this. I got an brilliant idea!!!

[rahrahritaa]

omg i'm totally going to make one for my macbook!!

[aliceayres26]

I really love watching your videos. especially when you show how to make things by your own. I´m looking forward of what´s coming up next.....no matter what it is ;-))

greetings from Germany

[djmindy]

I tell Anne I love her videos even if I'm 2minutes into her 8 minute or longer videos :)

I love this and I'm going to try it with fabric glue :)

[TeAmo1398]

woww this is so neat! thnx for sharing this w us.only if i had a machine.

[xpeacex9x]

[FrostLagoon]

I'm so gonna use the pouch as a laptop case! :D

Thanks for the video!

[lexitheshopaholic]

I lovee them folded over. Makes an adorable clutch.

[kaosua]

where did u buy ur roller cutting from?

[k1mst3r]

what's your lipcolor in this video? i love it!

[alexhavokk88]

i love this concept but i think if you had folded the seams when you sew the zipper on it would make the pouch seem a lot more professionally done but other wise such a great video <3 oo and then i thought if you wanted to you could add a magnetic closure if you want to make a cute clutch <3 keep up the great video ann <3

[xxamiisaurusxx]

the ones at american apparel are genuine leather. that is why they are 50 bucks and are a good investment. they also don't look cheap and fake..

[kelseywelseyy]

@xxamiisaurusxx well this is a nice alternative for people who don't want to drop 50 dollars on a genuine leather pouch.. and plus its fun to make things like these

[mS3riKa]

Wow! Ur a genius, truly! I wish I had a sawing machine :( great video! U should start am online boutique so I can buy it in all there colors! Hehe thanks love!

[angelic71273]

luv the diy vidz, luv all ur vidz :;+)

[ViciousVixenBaybee]

I would like to try this but I have no sewing machine :(

[itslorussoloveee]

so cute but it kinda reminds me of the money bag you would take to the bank from work... hahah

[princess4eva1193]

this is the best! i think im gonna make it a little bigger and add a strap to make it a bag!

[deemariexoxo]

love love LOVE! thank you :)

[sosorah]

Your DIY videos are always so fun and do-able! I'd like to try this sometime when I get some fabric. Thank you, Anne!

[insoliloquy]

I love this video! I'm so excited to try this out myself! Please do more of these DIY videos :)

[bluclouds9]

The results are look great! Just wondering how you learned how to sew and how long did it take to get good at it? I really want to learn after watching your DIY videos.

[nancylee03]

Thanks for the share, I was so excited I made two for myself. I added cloth on the inside and it looks so cute outside and inside!

[cydangie]

Oh I LOVE your hair :D and looking good gorgeous! That's such a cute simple bag wanna make me one? hahaaha

[blossomloveable]

when you cut it out, what are the fnal dimensions of it? :)

[AmourMode]

WOW you could sell these yourself. and im so going to make myself a couple and change it up a bit and add studs to them. BEST VIDEO EVER. im so excited to make me some !!!

[ticklebun]

I love how you used faux leather. if it was real, I would be so upset because i really hate the fact that people are abusing animals for fashion and stuff. And I'm trying this!! :D

[sweetgalnitz07]

i want a figure like yours.. u look stunning!

[AiA39881]

Amazing!!! That is so great and versatile!! Imagine adding a heavy jewel or metal edging at the top of the pouch and voila!!! It turns into a cute clutch that would cost around thirty or up to hundreds of dollars in store!!!

[pinakellada]

You are awesome!!

[beaaa0125]

You didn't tell us the measurement of the length.. did you use the whole 1/3 yard as the length?.. Anyway, love this! I think it would make a cute laptop bag if I add a little bit of padding on the inside :D

[Eedama96]

My mum has a sewing machine but I don't know how to use it :L I wish I did because hand stiching just takes so long!

[whiterose1885]

I'll try to make it once I get a sewing machine ... Awesome video

[MissMirandee]

I Love all your video's !!

I always want to do "Crafty" things and you give me such great ideas :D

[321haylee]

[dbsk1121]

wow can this tutorial be any more amazing! i want to make this right now! thank u so much for sharing cause i really wanted to get those bags but so dang expenssive

[itzSophia4eva]

isn't 1/3 of a yard 1 feet?

[beaaa0125]

@itzSophia4eva Yes.. but when you go to the fabric store, they don't go by feet, they go by yards.. which is why she's telling us the measurements in yards :)

[33ideas]

Cool ! I like it !

[Boms501]

I loveee that lip colour on youuuuu!! I love the bag...

[kaydee713]

it seems simple, yet complicated because i've never done something like this! but they're SOOO CUTE i love them all :)

[PandaJewels]

Did you find the faux leather at Joann Fabrics?? I couldn't find the colors you bought. I ended buying a brown pleather but I am really loving the colors you picked out. :)

[anneorshine]

@PandaJewels Yes... did u check where they sell curtains etc ?

[PandaJewels]

@anneorshine No I did not. I'll check it out! Thanks!

[misswiltsie]

What kind of sewing machine do you have & where did you get it?

[anneorshine]

@misswiltsie it's a Singer... 5 yrs ago... I think I bought it from hancock on sale =)

[makeupmaniac1000]

4 people sewed their hand to their pouch

[maycil20]

OMG! thank you anne...ive been waiting for a DIY exactly like this. <3

[pinknglitter1]

OMG I MADE IT HAHA I SAW THE VIDEO TODAY! and I went to the fabric store haha it was kind f difficult like the zipper part! I love it

[anneorshine]

@pinknglitter1 awesome!!!!

[MsShamz]

i loveeee your lipstick, what is it??

[anneorshine]

@MsShamz Pixi lip twins in coral =)

[TheJustwatchinggg]

Ok I don't know the how this bag compares to american apparel's but still! Dang if it only costs that much to make, then American Apparel's totally ripping us off! Lol!

[babyv2992010]

this looks sooo easy to make. I just wish i knew how to work my sewing machine LOL

[yzayas10]

I like so much ur DIY's!

[bRE3zYx3]

[nataloie5]

thank you so much for making this tutorial!!! I might make this for my friends for Christmas!!

[Str8UPdork]

this is so cute im always afraid of zippers because i always thought i needed a zipper foot but im not sure. did you do it with or without a zipper foot on your sewing machine???? i always look fwd to your videos crafty and beautiful and stylish all in one :D

[anneorshine]

@Str8UPdork yes... I didn't need the zipper foot. Only on intricate materials I do =) and thanks so much!

[cahbayb]

I LOVE this! its so simple. Did you make any with lining inside?

[anneorshine]

@cahbayb I didn't.. maybe if I was making it for someone I would =)

[Princess87Yuna]

AWESOME!!!

[dimplezpink]

Love it! More videos like this please! :) xxx

[e123rica]

This is the BEST idea EVER! I wish I knew how to sew :(

[pinknglitter1]

omg I am so doing this

[COLOURmehappii]

and if you dont like the bag you can stuff it with cotton and make it a pillow! :D

[PureBeauti007]

wow! beautiful! as always you come up with amazing ideas! =)

[quatiecelebs]

To what occasion would you wear them?

[anneorshine]

@quatiecelebs Any! they look cute w/ casual or sort of dressy outfits =)

[lankangurl123]

this is such an awesome idea Anne!! love it!!

[northernstarlite]

Do you know how to make straps for bags (sling bags)?

[anneorshine]

@northernstarlite they have some pre-made in fabric stores.

[liveloveGlam]

Wow this is geniusss! Love your videos♥♥

[6732352]

Omg these r so cute! :) can u make a video showing how we can wear and style these??

[anneorshine]

@6732352 thanks hun... u will be seeing these in my future videos for sure =)

[Mamii2Fiine]

Btw, what sewing machine do you recommend for beginners?

[anneorshine]

@Mamii2Fiine look for machines within your budget. I would research on amazon or sites w/ reviews. Read the feedback to see the pros n cons before u buy. Get something very basic with a few stitch types and the most for your money... don't be too cheap otherwise u'll get ur money's worth ;)

[lifeispnkislife]

awesome you are so creative!!

[kawaiixamor]

Omg I love you Anne... I was actually considering buying one of these overpriced pouch clutches from AA or Zara and I'm a poor high school student so youve saved me a lot of money haha. I'm going to make one now THANK YOU SO MUCH so many props for this you're really creative.

[Tangylover248]

could you do a video on how to style and carry these?

<3

[anneorshine]

Thanks so much for the loving comments everyone!!! xoxo ^_^

[lovelovemeee]

i like that dress on the manequin in the back :D

[natashaluvsyou]

Thank you so much :)! ♥

[abennezer]

you make the best diy videos!

[wherefashionmatters]

One

[wherefashionmatters]

You should make these and sell them I would buy own

[allsmiles3215]

I dont really get the appeal of these...but its still really cool that you made it for ten bucks!

[momokoxmas]

Awesome Ann, i love this idea, it is simple yet stylish, furthermore the materiel cost is so affordable. but...since it's hard to find leather yard here...how about floral print cloth or felt? but maybe the materiel won't be as stiff as leather :-( 

[anneorshine]

@momokoxmas that sounds amazing! Try the the upholstery fabric with a thick lining... Go for it and tweet or FB me some pics!!!

[momokoxmas]

@anneorshine Thanks for inspiring tutorial. Heading to the newly open fabric store with mission tomorrow (^.*)Y

[thaduchess]

Awesome vid! I've been eyeing these for months just refused to pay the AA price! I can't sew to save my life but if anyone is making these please let me know I'd pay for them!

[Sassymarkrep]

Very cool. 

[litosfera12321]

I loove these! :D Super SUPER cute! <3 xx

[dirofilariasis]

i m so gonna try to make this pouch.very helpful video :)

[zinemo]

Love your diy videos : )

[anneorshine]

@livelovelaugh3116 there's nothing creepy about that... you can certainly add more fun to the bag!

[belleapril]

@anneorshine can laptops fit in that? it's really cute, but i'm afraid that the laptop might fall out..... would it??

[anneorshine]

@belleapril yes... but I would double stitch all sides!

[simplystellarstuff]

Loved the tutorial.

[SabrinaDA79]

Anne, do you need a special needle to sew the faux leather?

[anneorshine]

@SabrinaDA79 I used my regular needle... it wasn't so bad sewing through =)

[teenyMiiMii]

definitely making this ! thank you so much ^^

[SugarGliderGirl]

There is no way you can fix those white edges next to the zipper?

I think it makes the pouch look sloopy and unfinished....

[anneorshine]

@SugarGliderGirl Yes... u can use leather glue... I personally don't think it looks bad or noticable.

[SugarGliderGirl]

@anneorshine It isn't very noticeable, but I know I would be focusing on that detail a lot. Too much of a perfectionist, maybe... I'm in love with this DIY and as soon as I have the time I'll make my own pouch. :)

Thanks for making the video and for answering my question.

[hopefulpotato]

@SugarGliderGirl

If you really don't like it, or want the edges to looks like they are turned over. You can sew the leather, wrong side up, to the right side of the the zipper. (Hope that made sense) So then when you flip the leather over so the right side is showing it looks like the edge near the zipper is turned under and you won't seem the seam.

[SugarGliderGirl]

@hopefulpotato Thank you. I might prefer doing this instead of the leather glue.

[anneorshine]

@hopefulpotato My needle broke doing it that way b/c I had to sew the material another time to fold in down... but that is also a great alternative if you have a nice beefy sewing machine!!! =D

[kaushilopez]

you are so creative!!

[ImJustWatchinHere]

they look SO neat!!! impressive :D

[Doradrummer]

awww man you have the BEST DIY videos every . Seriously I make all your diy videos haha <33 LOOOOOOVE U!

[crushcrushmusicx]

It looks professional, not home-made at all! Love it(: xxx

[quitejaded]

Why do people pay 70 bucks for a square pouch? You can buy that for 5 bucks at walmart.

[Bobateababy18]

What color lipstick are you wearing? it is so pretty on you!!!

[anneorshine]

@Bobateababy18 it's the pixi lip twin in coral =)

[vivianisalegend]

omg i would never tear a leather jacket :O

[bigbellii]

Lol how can something so simple be so expensive. People these days.

[MrTitus93]

[MissKaur527]

[glitterboymakeup]

I will be going to Joanns tomorrow so I can buy stuff to do this! I love the American Apparel bag, but for some reason I never thought to make it myself, and it is so simple! Thank you for this!

[xoxococomademoiselle]

[anneorshine]

@xoxococomademoiselle it's the pixi lip twin in coral =)

[xoxococomademoiselle]

[dasom94]

[xoxococomademoiselle]

[aznbabe9032]

You're so pretty and creative! :) I was wondering which movie editing software did you use for your videos? Thank you.

[parkranger487]

Yep ok. Make me one and send it to me! Lols. Jks. Naw, it does look like a pillow! Ugh. I'm too lazy to get all the equipment. Great video though! Omg. What would be a great idea is that you fill it up with cotton and use it as a pillow! Naw. No. :D Liked!

[ariri]

omg wow! this is TOO cute! sadly i dont have a sowing machine and i have no idea how! i wish i could make this :(

[Mamii2Fiine]

This is really cute. i know you mentioned that we could pick up these materials from our craft store, but where did you pick yours up??

[anneorshine]

@Mamii2Fiine thanks you =) Joanne's fabric store ;)

[mzpinks209]

[drugstorejunkie101]

[hazeldyme]

I wish I could make these. I don't have a sewing machine. : (

[lushevans]

I LOVE these!! I bought a few and now I will make a few. I may add a clasp or button so it can stay folded down to look like an envelope clutch.
