zipper-dee doo dah

Okay, so I realize this is not a big deal for many of the faithful readers of this blog, but this summer I successfully made a project that required a zipper. Nervously following the simple instructions provided by Amy Karol in her new book, Bend the Rules Sewing, I made this little zippered bag. The bag part was very easy-it was the zipper that unnerved me. But you know, the zipper was pretty easy, too!

Ironically, as I look down my list of upcoming sewing and crafting projects, none seem to require the installation of a zipper. But as this petite bag was so simple and has come in rather handy, perhaps I will whip up a few more just to feel like I own the zipper process.

Currently I am finishing a dress for a new baby girl and then it is on to a new skill: snaps. As soon as that dress gets sent off, I plan to make some bibs, a la Amy Karol, for a couple more babies who are on the way. Pictures of these projects and a little blogging from Sunshine about her recent crafting are forthcoming.
