US Tariff and Great News for my US friends

Black and white block print fabric

According to recent updates on U.S. tariff regulations, the de minimis rule will be eliminated effective August 29, 2025. This rule previously allowed low-value shipments to enter the country without incurring import duties and taxes. With its removal, all imported goods—regardless of their value—will now be subject to applicable tariffs and taxes. 

But the good news is CHEZVIES' shipping partner always ship in DDP Mode (Delivered Duty Paid), which means no surprise customs fees or taxes when your package arrives!  We handle it all for you so you can just sit back and wait for the happy mail!

I know how frustrating it is to receive unexpected customs charge after you have already paid for your order. I experienced this myself several times. With the DDP mode, I hope it will make your shopping experience smoother and stress-free.

Multi Zippered Bags - New Video Tutorial

I recently made a small batch of Triple Zipper Bags. The pattern I used is the Doitrei Zipper Pouch. A couple of weeks before, I had prepped the fabrics, which were just sitting in my WIP drawer. Finally, they are now done and I am planning to make more for the shops!

Triple Zipper Bags

This time I was experimenting with different types of fabrics. I used linen, cotton and canvas. When working with different types of fabrics, it's important to adjust the interfacing to get the result that you desire. I explained the interfacing I  used in this video. 

This triple zipper bag is about 8" W x 6" H. It's a perfect size to carry around in your tote as a tote organizer. I recently used one for my short trip to Singapore and used it to keep my digital camera, basic makeup, emergency medicine, charging cable and ear pod. It's just so convenient to keep everything in one bag.

Floral Travel Pouch

As I was making these pouches, I realized I hadn't done a proper video tutorial, so I decided to record one which hopefully will help to better understand the construction process of this multi-zipper bag. 

If you're looking for an easy gift to sew this holiday season, this Doitrei Triple Bag is an easy and quick project to make for your family and friends. You can use your scraps for more added fun. 

A very handy gift to make for everyone in your family and the bag can be used as a wallet, purse, pencil bag/pouch, travel pouch, make-up bag, etc. You can even add tabs on both sides, add a long strap and it will become a stylish crossbody bag. Use coupon CVG20 to get 20% OFF on the PATTERN only. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a nice day,
