I started out making this cute little cosmetics pouch because my daughter wanted to make one. I thought it would be easier for me to help her make it if I was making one also.
(How cute is she??)
I have to confess that I am afraid of zippers. I will almost always avoid any sewing project that involves zippers. They freak me out. This cosmetics pouch has a zipper...duh, duh, duh, duh......
It all started out fine. I loved the look of the linen with the solid blues and purples. My corners were matching up nicely.
Surely I could conquer a 7 inch zipper, right?!?
Well, the zipper won.
It didn't completely defeat me. I finished the project. I wish I felt a bit more victorious about that, but I am so bummed that zippers are STILL so difficult for me! Grrr...
I still have to help my daughter finish her bag and I am SO not looking forward to it!
Hmmm...maybe she'll just forget about it.
Not likely.
Sooo...any zipper encouragement for me?
Pretty please?
Oh! Here is a peek at my most recent project:
That orange quilt is really amazing!! I am not a fan of zippers myself. I have won and I have lost, and now I just avoid them all together!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI had a friend encourage me to conquer zippers and I am considering it. lol.
DeleteI have mixed feelings about the chevron quilt. The colors aren't my favorite, but it's for my mom. I still need to decide what to do for the back. In the meantime, I'm working on my Scrappy Stash quilt for the QAL. :)
The zipper is a wily creature. :-) Best of luck on it!
