Zippers are not scary! Zipper bags are quick, fun, and useful. They make lovely personalized gifts and require only a small amount of time and fabric to make.

In class, learn five different ways to insert zippers as you make five kinds of zipper bags, including some with non-traditional materials. Projects include a cork pencil case, a mesh bag to keep things neat in your suitcase or protect lingerie in the washing machine, a small round or rectangular key chain/coin purse, a boxy zipper pouch stabilized with foam, and a lined cosmetic bag or purse.

By the end of the day, you’ll have most of the bags finished, you’ll know how to complete the rest, and you will probably want to start making many more!

$10 pattern fee, payable to instructor on the day of class

Many of the materials can only be found in large quantities, such as mesh, cork, foam, and stabilizers. The instructor is offering an optional materials kit that has the perfect amount of these materials. Optional kit fee is $30 and includes the pattern.

Please indicate on the registration form if you would like to purchase the optional kit in class. 

The instructor will have cork pieces, cut to size available in class for $3 for those who need cork. She will also have 14" and 22" zippers available for purchase in class.

Regardless of the kit option you choose, please be sure to pre-cut your fabric prior to class.
