Watch my Free Video Course for Designer Zipper Bags!

UPDATE: Start watching the Designer Zipper Bags Video Course now here!

I’m so excited to share with you something that I have been working on all year… a video course!

I get ‘sew’ annoyed at most zipper bag tutorials because I end up with pinched corners at the top that never look right.

I have to admit that it bothered me so much I couldn’t sleep one night. I layed in bed trying to picture how to make a zipper pouch that had beautifully sewn top corners.

I woke up the next morning and made it work!

At the same time, I have been experimenting with ways to set up my sewing machine and camera in order to make better how-to videos.

This video course that I wrote, filmed, and edited is the marriage of those two processes that I have been experimenting with all year. Okay, all year just means all of 2019, but still.

The Designer Zipper Bag video course includes the following 3 lessons that will be released over 3 days next week:

If you gather together your materials now, you’ll be ready to spend just a few minutes sewing each day and you’ll have a beautiful designer zipper bag finished by Thursday!

Make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter so you don’t miss a single lesson!

To sew along with the video course next week, you will need:

2 rectangles of fabric at least 12 1/2’’ x 10 1/2’’ (I’ve been breaking into my Tula Pink All-Stars bundle and coordinates bundle)
a piece of foam stabilizer (such as Soft and Stable) at least 12 1/2’’ x 10 1/2’’
a handbag zipper at least 10’’ long (I’ll also show you how to use handbag zippers by the yard)

Are you in? Get ready to sew ad start here!

So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.
