I've been thinking for a while now that it was time I tried something new so several weeks ago I bought a zip with the idea that I really should learn how to put one in..
It took me a few more weeks to pluck up the courage and find a tutorial on youtube that I could follow and I finally took the plunge.
I dug out some furnishing fabric I was given thinking that I didn't want to ruin any of my lovely cotton and that it would be a little easier to work with and got to work.
It's far from perfect but I learnt a lot and the zip works :)
I even managed to pattern match the outside although I will admit that it was more by luck than judgement or planning.

Well done, I keep meaning to do another one. The first was made under supervision.......
First of many I hope, has the bug bitten you.
Very useful little bag. well done.
It's good to learn new skills, putting in zips isn't easy and can go wrong for me very quickly. I just avoid doing it these days:-)
It doesn't look like your first effort. Well done.
Woot! Good job!
Very nice! I tried one of these too using YouTube. Yours looks better than mine! I just need to practice...
