I’ve heard a lot about zips being a nightmare to sew, and seeing as the dress will need an invisible zip, I needed to learn how to at least sew in a regular one. After having made that card pouch, I realised that I also could do with one to hold my reward cards – that way I can find the one I need a little easier than having to pull them all from my purse when I get to the till!<\/p>\n

\"zipper1\"<\/p>\n

I came across a free pattern at Craft Passion<\/a>\u00a0for a zipper card pouch, which sounded just what I needed. I couldn’t get a 9 inch zip (the store only sold them in even numbered lengths), so I went with an 8 inch plastic zip instead. I had some fabric left over from a fat quarter bag, and that worked perfectly for the pouch, with some starry fabric for the lining.<\/p>\n

\"zipper-inside\"<\/p>\n

Apart from a slight adventure when I accidentally let the zip pull fly off the open end of the zip, and several tense minutes afterwards, trying to put it back together again, it went quite smoothly!<\/p>\n

I will admit my hand sewing skills are relatively non-existent, so I did machine the final seams together, with some top stitching around the outside.<\/p>\n

\"zipper-side\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s slightly wonky, but it works, and for a first zip, I think it looks pretty neat! \ud83d\ude00 I’ve been using the card pouch for a little while, and it’s holding together perfectly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
