\"zipper<\/a><\/p>\n

And when it comes to sewing gifts, I guess I’m not much different.
\nSkirts<\/a>, pillow cases<\/a>, crib sheets<\/a>…zipper pouches<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a>
\n\"easy<\/a><\/p>\n

I love sewing zipper pouches!
\nThey’re so easy, and cute, and yep….they’re perfect inside all those tote bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So I guess the unpredictable part of the Zipper Pouch gift, is the way you mix it up.
\nBecause I love a good surprise fabric inside.
\nLike wearing a red bra?
\nIf I ever did that.
\nMaybe I should….<\/p>\n

\"zipper<\/a><\/p>\n

I love fabrics that coordinate with the outside but make you excited to see what’s hiding within.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also adore a good zipper, with metal teeth, and an interesting pull.\u00a0 And the color and size of the zipper often determines which fabric I will use.
\nWho knew there could be such analysis of zipper pouches?<\/p>\n

I buy most of my zippers here<\/a> and here<\/a>.
\nIn fact a bundle of zippers makes a really fun gift.\u00a0 I gave some to one of Lucy’s friends who’s gotten into sewing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I just stuffed them in a little zipper pouch.\u00a0 Done!<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

Because the stuffing and gifting is also the fun part.
\nAnd there are so many fantastic things to stuff inside!—handmade bias tape<\/a>, piping<\/a>, candy, fruit, recipes, jewelry, note cards.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>
\n\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

I made this stripey pouch for a good photography friend who doesn’t sew much. So I thought these sample swatches would be an easy way for her to get crafty and make a garland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course there are my favorite Wonder Clips.<\/a>
\nPerfect for any sewing friend.<\/p>\n

\"Wonder<\/a><\/p>\n

And if you’re feeling extra punchy, tie some vinyl or a pom pom<\/a> on the end.\u00a0 It will only make you happy.
