My Lil Zipper Bag.... All Done!

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!

Honey Bun... Who Needs the Extra Calories?

I mean, fabric? I would! But I don't have the funds right now and my LQS doesn't have the Moda Honey Buns yet.

BUT I do have fabric in my stash that would be perfect in making Vickie's Lil Zipper bags from her tutorial on the Moda Bake Shop blog.

What do you think? Cute, no? I think so.

I'm starting it tonight. Let's see how long this lil zipper bag takes me. I'm home alone with Punkie tonight so sewing will be at a minimum until she goes down for the night. We'll see if I have the energy to sew after that. Maybe I'll at least get the fabric pressed and strips cut.

Enjoy your day!
