Sewing 201: Don't Fear the Zipper!
In this 2.5 hour workshop you'll learn how to sew a professional looking lined zipper pouch.
We'll go over techniques to ensure a high quality finished product. We'll cover how to get nice neat corners that aren't pinched, beautiful top stitching to give your project a professional look, and how to make the best use of your zipper foot.
