Learn to Sew – OPEN WIDE Zipper Pouch

This zipper pouch has a wide opening and a flat bottom which makes it easier to see what’s inside. There are three (3) sizes. Choose one for the class and you will have the skills to make them all.

This is a CONFIDENT BEGINNER level sewing class. We will be putting in a zipper, using fusible interfacing, and boxing corners. You will need to prepare and cut your fabric prior to class.
