Sewing with Mary

The other night my friend and co-worker Mary came over to sew. She recently received her shipment of 50 beautiful zippers from Zipit on etsy... so she was dying to give zipper sewing a try!

We made (wait for it) box pouches. lol. I think I've made at least a dozen of these in the past year! Mary was using a zebra print plastic coated shopping bag as her fabric, and I was using a bag from Micheal's that featured a more masculine color palate of squares.

um...3am pictures?
Mary did pretty well with her zipper sewing. Really excellent for her first try! She didn't even break a needle!

In all it was a great evening of box pouch sewing!

The only downfall of the evening? Staying up way too late when we both worked the next morning!

  2. I love pouches! They are so quick to make, which is nice when in the midst of bigger/slower projects.

  4. A friend of mine sent me a link to the zipper bag tutorial you posted today so I came over for a peek!

    I get my zippers from Zipit too --- my last batch was 50 bright fun colourful pretty 14 inchers - perfect for boxy bags - it's going to be fun working my way through them, lol! Your bags look great!
