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!

Triple Zip-Along....


I had been waffling about the fabrics for the triple zip pouch for the triple zip along.  Today, I made a decision.  Maybe it is because Valentine's is just around the corner.  Who knows?    \I made a trial version of the triple zip pouch last weekend.  Just to see.  It was okay except for the top zip which was a bit wonky. The zipper tabs were messed up too.  But.  I learned a lot and I know exactly what to do to avoid the issues that happened first time around.  This time, I am going to avoid the iron.  Just finger press.  I'll let you know how that goes.  The fun starts on Monday.
