That's cute! It's a keeper for sure. I have not yet attempted zippers (or buttonholes for that matter) and I'm wondering if that makes the project more complicated for me. I'm into quilting but sewing other than curtains, pillows, and pillow cases, is completely new to me.

It's fun to do something different everynow and then. There are a couple of good tutes on blogs for zipper pockets. I will find them in my favorites if you want the tutes, but only if you want the addy for it. Try something different, Gets you away from the same ol' same ol'. :D

True, DonnaRae. I'll have to add it to the list which is getting SOOOO long LOL. Knowing how to do a zipper will help me in future projects, too.

DonnaRae

Boy do I know about that list. I could not do every thing I have in ten life times, but I sure am trying. LOL. Okay, below are to sites with the zipper pocket tutes. I like the second one better but giving you both in case you like the other one better. :D
