Another Zipper Pouch

In my last post, I was so excited to show a project that required a zipper.  Wow, I was in a cold sweat wondering how I would pull it off.  Everyone (yes everyone) says zippers are scary and I believed them.  The only way to conquer your fear is face it head on. 

So, yesterday, I pulled a tutorial out that I printed almost two years ago.  It's the Patchwork Pencil Pouch Tutorial by Vanessa Hewell at lbg-studio.

Vanessa uses a walking foot to attach the zipper.  I tried it and it works beautifully.  Please give that technique a try.

I also used linen, just as Vanessa did.  As the last person on earth to try linen, I will say it is lovely to work with.  But, you probably already knew that.
