I thought it was great that we had two sessions on sewing a zipper bag. 😁 @Monika Potaszynska showed us how to make the pattern, which was a great new skill for me. @Carolina Moore walked us through how to actually put the zipper in, which was a valuable demonstration for those of us who aren't too experienced at sewing. I watched both sessions and was glad to have both. I have a pattern and fabric, just need to go pick up a zipper!
Yarny morning
Thanks to @Lisa Toppin and @Christine Mullen for my yarn themed morning here. I've never tried Tunisian crochet OR knitted from a chart before. Tunisian turns out to be really fun. Maybe I'll try knitting from a chart!

@Cheryl Torrez Two ideas for you... one, YouTube has a lot of free lessons if you search "How to knit for beginners" or "How to crochet for beginners" you can find some videos and choose one you like. Second idea, the crafty people in this group probably have a lot of great resources, and more of them will see your question if you start a new thread. We are talking right now in the comments/replies to my thread, so I got notified that you had replied, but most people won't see your question here. If you start a new thread and ask again, it will be at the top and everyone will see it. šŸ™‚
Carolina Moore’s Boxed Cornered Zipper Pouch
I just watched Carolina’s class and it was fantastic! I want to start making a bunch of them. I have almost everything I need to get going but have to check for fusible interfacing. I even have a supply of colored nylon zippers! Thank you Caroline. Your instructions were precise and your presentation was inspiring 🄰

I watched that today too and got inspired! I was wondering if I could try it with nonfusible interfacing if I pinned it. Probably more of a pain to work around the pins, but I already have some nonfusible... šŸ¤”
Monika Potaszynska's zipper pouch!
The box corner zipper pouch lesson was so great! Absolutely packed with information. But easy to follow even though I have never made my own pattern before. I have a pattern all drawn out down and ready now, just have to choose some fabric.

The Art of Handmade Summit (Sept 15–18) is right around the corner, and the workshops we have lined up are seriously inspiring.
