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?!
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!! |
