Triple Zip... it worked!



My triple zip pouch worked quite nicely!  Much better than the first one I made.  This time I only finger pressed and avoided issues with irons and zippers.  I found that the trick to getting the top zipper tabs nice is to pinch the tab in half when sewing the side seams.  I think I will try making another one and take a picture of that step.  I also do not use a zipper foot.  I stop and start moving the zipper pull out of the way as needed.  I am much happier without a zipper foot.

So much fun!
