Zippered pouches can be anything you want them to be, but more than anything, they should be fun! In this workshop, we'll discuss types of zippers, the use of interfacing, creating custom sizes, and different zipper application methods. Zip pouches are one of the most freeing and useful projects to sew - no need to be afraid! Students will leave this workshop with the skills needed to make their own perfect pouches!
