Today I have been sewing - well let me rephrase that, I have been having a go at putting a zip into the lining of one of the bags I am making. Although I have put a zip in a dress and skirt before, I've never put one in a bag and was a bit daunted so I searched on the internet and found a tutorial which I could follow.
I didn't really manage to clear my desk before I started! You can see a card on the left that is work in progress but not needed until May so plenty of time! Behind that on the little easel is a photo of Holly I am waiting to scrap.
The zip is all lined up ready to sew in.
Sewn in - I have to say I am overjoyed how well it has turned out:)
This is the inside of the pocket which is lined with the material I am using for the outside of the bag.
Happy dancing!!!
Maybe I'll see you next week and I will show you the finished bag. Actually, it's here if you want a peep:)

What did before the web? I'm so grateful to it!
I love your bag! I used to make my own bags and wallets, and it was so nice, because I could have just what I wanted. So many wonderful crafts, and so little time!
Thanks for the visit, and have a wonderful WOYWW! Kathi #109

Never ever tried to do that...scares me :D You have done a super job well done.
Me and sewing machines are not a great combination so I'm mega-impressed with your bag! I also tend to start new projects over the top of other ones ... too impatient to tidy up first I think! Thanks for sharing and Happy Woyww Liz@73
Yay!! Well done for sorting the Zip! Hugs Sarah x x

Love the print and the whole thing looks very professional, you did a super super job on it. And I appreciate you stopping by my desk already and leaving me a sweet comment.
