Here it is. All done. Took me about 2 hours to make. An hour and a half of those two hours was fighting with the zipper. I never did a zipper before. I had and still do have, zipperphobia.
So my zipper challenges...
- I sewed the zipper upside down the first time. NICE JOB!
- I had the zipper closed when I stitched up the sides. Don't do that! I had a heck of a time getting the zipper undone so that I can turn the bag right side out. LOL. But I did it.
- Unsure of zipper placement - front to back - on the bag. I think I positioned it wrong and now I can't zip the bag shut all the way.

Even with all the zipper issues I had, I will make another one since I really like the bag and I'm determined on figuring out the zipper stuff . This one is going to Punkie. She really likes it!
Thank you Vickie for the tutorial! It was very easy to do. Just me the zipper novice had challenges but like I said, I'm going to make more!
Enjoy your day!

Jen, that looks great... you are being too hard on yourself! zippers aren't easy...
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear someone else does things like sew something on completely backwards! I'm with ya sewing sista, I do that stuff all the time. I think it ended well for being your first time and it is super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. I love the colors. That zipper looks professionally done. A+
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Thanks for all your comments on my blog, what did we all do without blogs? Don't you just love that Moda Bake Shop? They are brilliant marketing people! I love your Punkie Pie picture at the beginning of your blog...is that her real name? Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteGood job on your little zipper bag. Watch out they are addictive, you'll have them in every color.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Keep at it with the zippers and don't let them get you down.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with the ironing-board cover. That's one of those projects that's not terribly fun but once finished you'll always be glad you did it!
