Don’t be afraid of zippers!  Let Laurie Alice show you how to stitch together smaller pieces of fabric to create a unique pouch, complete with a zipper.   You will also learn how to “box the corners” to create volume inside, utilize fusible interfacing or fleece, install a lining, and top-stitch the exterior to create your one-of-a-kind pouch.  

In this two-session workshop, you will learn how to:  follow written instructions, measure and cut fabric, stitch together smaller squares of fabric to create a larger piece of fabric, install a contrasting colored lining, box the corners, and install a zipper.  Laurie Alice will share various tips to ensure your zippered pouch turns out beautifully!  This will be the perfect pouch to keep your sewing notions handy.  A wide selection of fabrics will be available for you to choose from to make this project uniquely yours!
