More zippy zip zippers….

I am on a roll with ticking things off my to-do list this week.
If feels good I have to tell you!
But I have found some time to do some more fun sewing too. These fun zipper pouches have been some of the fruits of my labour…

Another fun scrappy pouch. Just because.

Ok just because I may have accidentally sent one of the ones I made for the sample swap on to someone else and had to replace it with something else… oops…
And judging by emails received last night this will not be the last either…

Secondly I finally worked up the courage to try out my lace zippers…

Aren’t they super cute? I am in love with them!
I have been sitting on these for what feels like f.o.r.e.v.e.r. and trying to muster up the brain space to try something new. But I finally kicked myself into gear and tried a couple yesterday and I’m in love with the results…

Cup of tea anyone?

Hmmm wonder where this is going with it’s matching card?!

They are actually SUPER easy! Like, seriously seriously easy.
Kicking myself for putting them off for so long much?!
The only thing wrong with the method that I used is that I didn’t use zipper tabs like I normally do. The finish was still reasonably neat even without those, but moreso than anything it just limits the size of the pouch more because the zippers are not that long.

I got mine from here ages and ages ago and I notice that they have a bunch of other cute pulls available now. I’m already plotting how I can justify buying the ballerina ones. How much would Miss H love those for a ballet bag!!

I’ve also finished my name tag for another FQ Retreat swap. I’ll show you that next week because I haven’t edited the photos yet and I can’t have you knowing who it’s for 😉

This is my outgoing mail pile today…

That’s just the personal stuff not even the business stuff!
Shows I’ve been busy huh…
Could any of it be for you I wonder?
I’m not telling! heheheh
