Things I Learned From a Pencil Bag



1. I can put in a zipper.
2. Not very well.
3. Next time I need a pencil bag, I might just buy one because of said zipper and the wrestling with it.

But now I have a pencil bag to hold the various items I need for class. I found this fat quarter on sale at JoAnns, and today I was able to pick up that dreaded zipper. But the bag is cute, and overall I am pretty happy with it. It was good practice, too.

Zippers get easier the more you do them. You might check out doing a pick-stitch zipper. I'll never do another one any other way. http://www.taunton.com/threads/pages/t00202.asp

that's very cute. Hope you are feeling better. See you in class tomorrow.

Maybe you did this -- but it might be easier to sew the zipper in before sewing the side and bottom seams on the bag.

Cute bag!
