Prep Requirements: Please see the linked document above/below for your prep work instructions.

Emily suggests cutting all materials from coordinating fabrics in case one of your extra pieces needs to be used in this way.
Ready to dive into the world of zippers? In this hands-on workshop, Emily will guide you through a variety of zipper pouch styles—including flat pouches, boxed bottoms, forward-facing zips, and more. It’s a “choose your own adventure” experience where you pick the designs you want to make!
Along the way, you’ll learn about different types of zippers, including specialty options like zippers by the yard. Whether you’re looking to create one-of-a-kind gifts or expand your sewing skills, this workshop offers endless possibilities for making fun and functional pouches.
