I’ve never been a fan of the zipper! Sure, I’ve made pants and shorts for myself with zippers but generally avoid them. However, last night I decided it was time to overcome my fear…..
So armed with 5 little zippers I measured fabric to the same length as the zipper and made a few little pouches. They’re not perfect but are cute and will be good as a little extra with presents.
ta da…I’m not afraid of the zipper anymore!
ps I’ll draw the fabric giveaways tomorrow!
I think you have done a great job. It is nice to see that the corners of the pouches are so straight too.
love those trees
Zipperific!
You are just too clever for your own good!
Whats the secret? I’m scared of zippers too.
Well done Corrie, it’s a good fear to overcome.
That was a smart idea, just do it on a small project several times. Now you know you can do it. It looks like you did a great job.

I whole hartedly agree. Zippers are not my favourite either. I can – just almost if I try really hard – put a zip in a cushion cover, but always seem to mangle it when I try in a skirt!
zippers are freaky. However, I find them easier than buttons or velcro so I go the zipper every time. I just have to hide the ends.
Congralations Corrie! Zipperific, what a great word
xox
Congratulations Corrie, I always think that once you have mastered the zip you can tackle anything. Your little purses are very cute.
Looks like you have mastered the zipper! I love little pouches too, they are so handy.
Fantastic Corrie!
Those little pouches look fantastic. I love the fabrics you used too. By the way when are you opening your new shop!
Me, me , me! Am so afraid of the zipper…but seeing these cute little pouches makes me want to try!
What’s your zipper secret?? They look so smooth and neat – mine, on the other hand, never do.
OK. OK. OK. OK. Just off to locate a Zippers Aren’t So Evil open mind before giving it a whirl…
