Ready to tackle zippers?! Zipper pouches are a quick, easy and fun project – once you make one, you’ll make dozens more! During this class, we will make two zipper pouches: we’ll start with a simple flat rectangular pouch, then move on to a slightly more advanced design and make a box bottom pouch.  You’ll leave the class with 2 cute pouches and the skills to make more in any size you desire!
