Sewing Zipper Pouches with Catie Clark - Sunday, November 2, 10:15 AM to 12:15
This step-by-step, hands-on tutorial will walk you through the entire process—from cutting the fabric to installing the finishing seam. These techniques are easy enough for a beginner to master. In less than two hours, you will make three different styles of zipper pouches and leave with functional items to use yourself, or give as gifts.
Supplies needed:
- Two fat quarters (one for the outside of the pouches and one for the inside of the pouches) OR 1/4 yard each of three different fabrics
- Two 9" regular coil zippers (not metal zippers and not invisible zippers) & one 12" or 14" regular coil zipper
- 1/2 yard of fusible fleece
- Coordinating thread for your fabrics
- Jean-a-Mah-Jig
- Sewing machine (staff will be happy to help you carry your machine up to the classroom, also, we have a limited number of sewing machines available for use if you cannot bring one, just let us know when you sign up)
- Zipper foot (recommended but not necessary)
- 80/12 or 90/14 universal sewing machine needle
