I have been itching to make some items that so far have not been in my repertoire.  Zippers are not my favorite task.  I always seem to have issues with sewing them in clothes, so was expecting a fight with these.  But I am happy to report it was relatively painless.

I used the open wide zipper pouch tutorial from Noodlehead.   The instructions are very clear, great pictures, (I am very visual) and it went together quite easily.

I ordered an assortment of zippers from Zipit Zipper Supply.  Zipit is a great little Etsy Shop, great selection and great prices!

I plan on making more to give away.  I am also going to try the gathered clutch as well as the lil cutie pouch.

On a side note, my last post (view here) was about the lotion I made…I went to the Dermatologist yesterday for my yearly “spot check”.  She made the comment that I take very good care of my skin, it is very soft!  When I told her I made my own lotion she said I should market it…well I don’t think that will happen but, it confirmed that it was a good idea!

Sewing this afternoon waiting for the washing machine repair guy.  You know the “window”…Then I will tackle the mountain of laundry!

Have a great weekend!
