Zippers can be tricky, that’s why we are always offering classes that involve them. Keep learning and practising zipper installations with this super cute canvas pencil pouch. Sew it up with a heavier weight fabric on the exterior and line it with an interesting and fun quilting cotton. You’ll also get the chance to learn about different styles of interfacing, how to colour block the piece and go wild with some zipper tape. This functional little project is a great practice piece to use up some fabric scraps. It would also make a great gift!

This class has no prerequisites!! Knowing the very basics of how a sewing machine works would be a benefit, but it’s not necessary.
