Triple Zip-Along

The Triple Zip-Along project

"What has Susie been up to lately ?" some of you may be asking yourselves....
Well, I have been Triple Zipping It!

Debbie,  from A Quilter's Table,  is hosting a sew along,  featuring her tutorial for a pouch with not one, not two, but THREE zippers!  How cute is that?!

Debbie's   Triple Zip Pouch  from A Quilter's Table

The first time I saw her pouch,  I knew that I would be making it eventually!  I can't resist 3 zippers and bright colors!!

My fabrics are from Free Spirt-  Valori Wells    berries, bird, nest

I picked out some cute fabrics, which I had been saving for awhile.  I love the taupe and pinks together.  Then I looked in my zipper basket for the right colors, to make the pinks pop !  I get my zippers from the etsy shop ZipIt! They are economically priced, and I  get 

a variety pack, of 14 inch zippers.  You can always shorten a zipper...
And, I loved this pink fabric so much, that I cut out a heart shape, to applique on the front.

This is the  largest section lining side out, after all of the sections and zippers are put together

I sewed  the sides of each pocket independently, before sewing up the sides of the other pouch fabric

This large pocket  has an opening , for pulling the finished outer bag through this hole

You can see the 2 smaller pockets . I kept them out of the way when I sewed the sides  of the pouch together.

I used  HeatnBond Lite iron-on adhesive, then machine blanket stitched around the outer edge

Here are the THREE zippers!!

I decided to use it for my special buttons , thimbles and embroidery threads

Hop on over to the Triple Zip-Along Flickr group to see everyone's pouches and get inpired!  It's not too late to make one !

And look for the  February  Across The Pond Sew Along   project on Friday!  Amy from eamylove@Amy Made That! blog is launching this month's project.
