I spent the best part of yesterday wrestling with the construction of a triple zippy pouch. This project has been on my 'to do' list since I saw this post.
I had bought some zips on the market and picked out my fabric, so I was all ready for the challenge.

| Fabric choices for the Triple Zippy Pouch |
And what a challenge it was… I first of all misread the instructions at the point when the order of the lining was stated. My unpicker was in full employment at this point as I had to unpick every seam that had been stitched. I then managed to get the pouch sewn in the correct order and eagerly read how to finish off. At this point my downfall was complete. I sewed and unpicked for a few hours before I gave up as I had an appointment. This was actually a blessing as I had time to rethink the whole process. I never did follow the finishing instructions but I did think that I could tackle the finishing as if it were a conventional zippy pouch. When I returned to the scene of the crime it actually came together in a matter of minutes. The casualty in the whole debacle were the zipper coverings. I decided to lop them off as I couldn't get the whole pouch lined up in the final seams, however it is FINISHED (Phew!).
Below are photos of the finished result...

Now that I have finished one I think that I will be making some more in the near future. I can see many uses for one of these little bags.

I've been meaning to try this one....but as I suspected it is harder than it looks. Very useful though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nightmare! It looks great though Di, glad you soldiered on x
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever! I am frightened of zips - I can never get them right. Maybe that should be another New Year's Resolution - face my fear of zips head on!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome - I'm picking my fabrics as we speak :)
ReplyDeleteIt might have given you a hard time, but you have mastered it now and it looks lovely Di. It's good to have handy little items like this up your sleeve for all kinds of gifts too!
ReplyDeleteIt might have given you a headache making it, but it looks great finished. I love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteIt may have caused you grief, but it looks amazing! well done for getting there. And I, too, love your choices of fabric.
ReplyDeleteI might have given up in a huff if i was you, well done for the patience, it turned out fabulous. But can we call it a zippy bag, as the word pouch is ick! : )

ReplyDeleteChallenge I'd say but you got it well done!
Love, love, love your triple zippered pouches!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I have made three of these so far and I love them but since I gave them all away it is time to make one for me. Your next one will be so much quicker.
ReplyDeleteTotally love this!! Don't think I will b trying it out though!
ReplyDeleteSometimes a bit of thinking space is all we require! Well done - your next will be easy!
