Zipper Pouch (part 2)

Hmmm

Will not be finishing this project today as I had hoped. Once again, edge binding has (temporarily) defeated me. The short story is that I cut the binding strips too narrow -- only 2 inches. The thickness of the pouch borders kept the binding from wrapping around the edges properly. Could not sew.

The good news is that I received my quarter-inch presser foot, and I love it. This allows me to sew a more consistent quarter-inch seam allowance. Useful when sewing the edge binding to the back of the pouch even though the binding was too narrow to allow stitching on the front.

Probably should have used the walking foot. The layers had a tendency to shift a bit, and I had to trim some edges after sewing. But I really wanted to use that quarter-inch foot....

Again, no photos.

Again, planning to finish up tomorrow after cutting some 3-inch binding strips.

Persistence: I will get a zipper pouch out of this process.
