... or tucked onto my neighbour's Christmas tree (outside ready for town pick-up) :D
This was a new to me project - as I mentioned in my last blog post I'm trying to make NEW designs of bags this year - I'm aiming for 1 new bag a week (aka 52 in 16) to finally get to some of the tutorials and patterns I've been hoarding for so long :D This tutorial is from Sew Can She, and is called a 2 Sided Zip. The tutorial is VERY well written and photographed - I was nervous about making it because of the curved zipper but it was no problem - the bag was very easy to make. Next time around I'll add an inch in length and in height to make it a bit bigger (and of course will use a longer zipper). I'll definitely be making more of these - thank you to Caroline for a wonderful tute! And this counts in as 2/52/16 ... HA!
P.S. Sheila Perl - I can't reply to your comments as I can't find your email address - could you leave it for me in a reply (I'll delete it before publishing) or email me through my About Me link - I'm dying to check out your Pinterest boards (and your blog, too, if you have one?) - thank you! :)
I have trouble with curved zips so thank you for sharing this tutorial. It's Pinned for the future. Yours came out lovely. I like how you use novelty prints. I love novelty prints, too!
ReplyDeleteI've had that one pinned for ages, so good to hear it's a great tutorial. Looking at your pics now, I think it might be a solution to storing adaptors and cords, etc when travelling.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am loving your artistic photos, well done! The bag is fantastic. Do you use a zipper that is actually curved or just use a regular one that you then have to sew on a curve??? Sounds very scary to me!!! It looks great and I love the fabric you chose :) Hugs, Mickie
ReplyDeleteHula girls and surfboards. Awesome finish.

Another great pouch Sandra, and well done on using a new pattern too. You are definitely getting to grips with that 52 patterns challenge :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute one! Just what we need to see right now--hula girls. Our vacation will be late this year which seemed okay until now. I could really use a vacation in a nice warm place with some hula dancers. Guess I will settle for seeing my hula dancers here;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be following along as you try all of your new/different patterns :) I'm sure it will "help" me add more things to my list!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bag - perfect on the door and the tree :)
ReplyDeleteLooks fab, off to check the link xxx
ReplyDeleteHow cute, and look at you, taking pics outside!!! Better you than me....
