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.

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!
LOL, how fun! Of course by 3am I would have been sewing over my fingers.....
ReplyDeleteI love pouches! They are so quick to make, which is nice when in the midst of bigger/slower projects.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I think maybe this blog shouldn't be Mommy's Nap Time, but Mommy's Bedtime! lol ;)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine sent me a link to the zipper bag tutorial you posted today so I came over for a peek!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
