This is why I want some good pics to go with instructions. It's a flowing process which is how I can make so many in a day.
I have my pattern down to where I don't even really have to measure or think too much. I know that it needs to be exactly 6" between the tab ends and the center of the zipper needs to meet the center of the fabric and the rest goes like butter.

The tabs eliminate bulk in the corners so they can be turned with sharp corners.

Is it too early to start stressing about what machine to bring? 221, 222, one that zig-zags, one with fancy stitches, serger so I can do the edges of the fabric I buy?
Does anyone else stress over forgetting something and being left "stitchless" for the entire time?
