Join Andrea and your fellow sewing club friends, Tuesday, June 30 at 9 a.m. MT to learn how to install a recessed zipper top closure in a basic two handle tote bag.
Andrea stitched up the tote shown using four 18" squares of fabric with 2.5" corners notched at the base of each panel. The straps are crafted from 6" x 30" strips of material + a 3" channel of batting as demonstrated last week in our Removable Messenger Strap - Sewing Skill Share. She will be using an 18" purse zipper and two panels of twill fabric which measure 8" x 20" to craft a fabric frame that will house the zipper. We hope to see you then; but, if you miss out you can always watch the replay of this or any other live sewing club event here on our "on demand" page. Did you know Tuesday is Skill Share day here at the Sewing Club? Every member is invited to share their sewing related super power with the group. This can be accomplished via live or recorded video, photo tutorial or in a blog post.
