Zippered pouches can be anything you want them to be, but more than anything, they should be fun! In this workshop, Emily will discuss types of zippers and the use of different interfacing options. Students will learn how to make a perfect zippered pouch, with clean zip ends, and tidy boxed corners. Zip pouches are one of the most freeing and useful projects to sew - no need to be afraid! Students will leave this workshop with the skills needed to make their own perfect pouches!
