So, it is difficult to gauge whether the flushed faces and increasing stress levels were due to the heat or......zip insertion!!
Joking apart, I really wanted to show the class how easy it is for us, as quilters, to produce little useful pieces from next to nothing.
If you would like to have a go - try these blogs for great tutorials -
Noodlehead - brilliant blog, lots of bags, wallets & zips HERE.
and a fun & straightforward tute from Flossie Teacakes, HERE
and last, but not least, from Kelby Sews, a tute that concentrates on the zip ends. HERE
Enjoy.
I am going to face my fear - everywhere I look, people are sewing in zips!!
ReplyDeleteAren't they fab! I get the same 'fear reaction' to zips in my classes, but the sense of achievement afterwards is priceless! Jxo
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I find myself making zippered bags in the summer, maybe because they are so quick to finish. Last year I gave a bunch away at Christmas so I am hoping to stock up for that again this summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Noodlehead - I particularly like their Advent calendar with activity cards rather than chocolates!
