Sewing Zippers in Bags Tutorial 1. (aka Zippered inner bag pocket)
If you want to see the finished bag that features this zipper here it is. This is a tutorial for a nifty bag zipper. What is nifty about this bag zipper is that it makes bags look neat and professional. This is because the zipper is inserted 1" (2.5cm) or more down from the top edge of the bag.

Tutorial: Puffy Pouch
Here comes the tutorial for the puffy pouch ;) As I promised, I am introducing two ways to make this pouch, one made with a 5" flex frame which may not be very accessible and the other made with velcro which is fairly easily found at any craft stores. (The flex frame can be spotted at here , here , and here .) I love this pouch either way. This pouch is like the fabric basket tute and the patchwork drawstring tute combined into one with a little twist, so yeah, it's quick and easy again!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll like it....!!!

Lets get this tutorial started then! After making Oishii and then the abundance of zippered pouches that followed I had so many people write to me saying that they are scared of zips!

Honestly, I'll stop banging on about these bias tape gizmos eventually .... but I HAVE to let you know this trick. When you want to make a simple button closure for a bag (or garment) and you don't have matching cord or braid for the loop, do you go to the trouble of making rouleaux? I don't. I do THIS!!!........
