Upon deciding I needed practice inserting zippers, I
went to E-bay and ordered 50 assorted zippers. They arrived, I proceeded to
practice with some scrap fabric and then decided I wanted to get some practical
experience. I then logged onto Pinterest and found the pleated pouch pattern and tutorial from Skip to my Lou. Since pleats have quickly become my favorite
things in the world, I couldn't resist.

What I really like about this is that it came with a free
pattern. It just makes everything a lot easier for a newbie like me. If you
read the instructions carefully they're very easy to follow. Did I read the instructions carefully? No, no I didn't. I ended up needing to attempt this thing two times. The first time, I for some reason, sewed the right sides to the wrong sides so
I had a half inside out pouch. But after tearing it out and doing it over, all
went well. A little wobbly but well. This is also my first completely solo sewing project, so I'm pretty pumped about that.
For the last few months I've said I want to make bow
ties. But I think the next thing I'm going to make is a Bow Clutch designed by
Elm Street Life. It looks so fun and relatively simple.
So, I noticed something while looking through pictures for this post. I think I sew on the wrong side of the machine... Am I right about this?
