I took a second sewing class today that involved sewing a zipper and ending up with a nifty bag for toiletries or whatever else you want to store. This project was much more complicated than the pillow I made last week but was still very do-able.

I chose three different fabrics (red, dots, and corduroy), used interfacing to give the fabric some stiffness, made a handle, made an inner liner (still needs to be handsewn later), and used some contrasting thread for my top stitching detail. I tried to find a “snazzy” fabric combination so that I could give it to Brother but this may not be what he had in mind. It was the best combination that I was comfortable with. Everything else was either a solid color or had a flower print on it. I guess I may have to keep this one for myself…that is unless you still want it, Brother.
