“A lot of people are daunted at the prospect of inserting a zip. This is a great class to have a practice inserting a standard zipper and then put those skills into practice by making a gorgeous zipped pouch. Choose from 3 styles and a whole host of lovely fabrics. This would make a fantastic project to make for gifts, or even just yourself!!”
