This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Beginner Serging: Machine Basics & Techniques »

Instructions

Follow Amy's instructions and you'll be cranking these out on your serger like lightning! She's fabulous!

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Unisex

Style: Classic, Cute


Materials

100% cotton fat quarters. Polyester zipper in dusty rose pink.

What was your inspiration?

Making a boxed zipper bag on a serger, including the zippers, appeared to be easy and a huge time saver over the old sewing machine method I've always used. (it is!)

What are you most proud of?

Aside from some irritating tension problems my serger decided to have for almost an entire evening, once the nasty machine was working properly, the bag was easy and finished perfectly in no time!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just watch and listen to Amy ... She'll get you where you want to go.

Could this be any more perfect?! Those corners and lines are awesome! Did you iron it, or just use some magic powers to make it line up so nicely? ;)

Thank you Amy! I ironed it when it was finished (to get the annoying, but still not gone, wrinkles out of the fabric created by storing my fleece in a very un-fleece-friendly way for the last few months - the wrinkles are here to stay!)
