In addition to pondering an adventure in intarsia, I think I’m going to take another sewing class. This time, I’ve got my eye on how to connect a zipper to fabric without 1) sewing the zipper shut, and 2) sewing myself to the fabric. (Lofty goals, but a girl can dream.)
For the people out there who aren’t sewing challenged: What are some good “My First Sewing Project” projects that I could tackle? I foresee making more tote bags, and probably some drawstring project bags (sewing for knitting, like that wasn’t predictable). Clothes are probably right out for quite some time. Pillow cases? That seems boring, but good skill-building for that whole ‘straight line’ thing, I guess.
I feel yah. I cant tell you how many parts of my model ive glued to my own fingers….
I wish you luck. I gave up on myself 20 years ago…
For the zipper, something like a coin purse would probably be good.
YAY!!! .. No MeriZipperConnectedToClothing ™!!
Worthy goals!
Thanks, all! Jehanna: I ended up signing up for this class, so you were right on the money! http://www.qualitysewing.com/sewing-classes/beginning-sewing/easy-zipper-pouch-class.html
Post pics when it’s done!
I shall! 🙂 The class isn’t until January, so it’ll be a bit, but I’ll be sure to share.
