The funk is in full force but I do have two things to show you. More zippered pouches! These were made using this tutorial from Flossie TeaCakes. I followed it exactly as described except I used fusible fleece and quilted the panels with straight lines. I was a bit disappointed with my output because I wanted really square corners by the zippers. I should have shortened my stitch length and probably trimmed my corners a bit closer. My corners will be more square next time!
I was happy, however, with the zipper installations. No issues there! Who would have thought?! I'm excited about that part to be sure! These will probably find their way to my nieces (the youngest is really into guitars) at some point.
I'm so glad to be over my fear of zippers - YES, I can say that! I am going to continue exploring different zippered pouches, working to improve my sewing skills. I love learning new things and thankfully blogs make it really easy to learn. I've always said that I'm inspired by all of you and I truly mean that. I also learn from each of you who share your journey on your blogs. Thank you for that! I really does encourage me to dip my toe in and maybe {hopefully} one day master that skill.

You did a great job. I am no good at sewing.
So glad you've conquered the zipper, Jackie--they both look fabulous. And thanks for the link to the tutorial--I hope to get up my nerve to try them some day, too :)
zippers look scary to me ! your pouches are cool - YGG !!! Mel
Beautiful pouches. We all can learn from each other. I find so many times that I see a new finishing technique or a better way to do something. You never stop learning!

So cute! Your quilt lines are beautiful! Congrats on conquering the dreaded ZIPPER!
These are great! The zippers look all professional and stuffs. Go you!!!!
Very nicely done, Jackie. You've got a Bernina, so you SHOULD be trying all these new things! Glad that zippers are no longer a problem. The bags are cute and your nieces will think you're an awesome aunt, for giving these to them.
Oh, so great, your new little pouches. I have been collecting all the trutorials that you shared lately - thank you so much for this - and as soon as I will have time I'll try each and every one of them. And I'm sure then I'll lose my fear of sewing in zippers as well, lol.
You did a great job on the pouches. Thanks for visiting so I could see your lovely smile yet again.

I love your zipper bags, great job!
These are great Jackie! I love them with the rounded corners. :-) It is always fun to learn things. I love the other little bags you showed a little farther down. Soooooo cute!
Your patchwork is coming along. Red and white always give that nostalgic feeling.
I did not know you are on Ravelry. I need to look you up. Your chevron monster cowl is fabulous! Love chevron...so much that my wood floor is now that pattern.
Hugs from Holland,

They are so nice!
