Lace Zippers


Cindy and I got some lace zippers not too long ago. I'd never sewn with one before but I found a helpful pdf tutorial. I adapted the body size of the pouch but the rest is the same as the tutorial pouch. I've never thought of myself as a "pink" person but it seems to be the color popping up in many of my projects these days! The fabric is Happy Mochi Yum Yum (again) which I never seem to grow tired of. And now I'm in love all over again with Winterkist!

Sneaky Fiesta Ware!


I really wanted to be further along with my Ruby quilt. 


Unfortunately, I pulled a muscle in my back and it's been difficult sitting for long at my sewing machine or traveling in a car. The saddest part of this whole injury episode was having to miss a mini-retreat with Cindy and other friends! :o(

I'm on the mend and expect it to be a great week! I hope you have a great week, too!

I do love that pouch, Deborah. The lace on the zipper is such a fun touch! My husband has been having back issues lately...no fun at all, I know. Rest up and get better soon!

So sorry you missed your buddy-sewing time - hope you are back in full working order soon.
Those zippers look great, I don't think I have ever seen any in real life - I must go searching!

Hi Deborah! I´m sorry to hear, that you have pain in your back! This happened to me too two years ago, when I fell down the stairs. It was really painful! I hope you will feel better very very soon.
Your new pouch is so lovely and the zipper makes it perfect! I love the colour!
Hugs! Barbina

I love lace zippers. I use them the majority of the time these days. I also made a tutorial for using them but it was my first and is rather lengthy... Must learn how to be more concise! Get well soon!

I haven't seen those zippers before Deborah...It looks really pretty and I love the happy colours!
Hope your back is feeling better soon. Sitting at a sewing machine for long periods really doesn't help so make sure you put your feet up and have a good rest.
Love the new header!
