Coraline is the Swoon pattern name of this wristlet. It went together pretty easily. Maybe I used too stiff an interfacing, I'm not really loving it. Another project to send to the Salvation Army.

Dumplings

 

When snapping this shot, I realized how often I don't get pics of the things I make. There were a couple of these, but the other one was so cute it went into use right away.

This pattern, slightly enlarged to make the most of my 17" zips.

Have I shown you this adorable zippy pouch? I hand embroidered the designs. The fun colors made the project go super-quick.

Gathered zip pouch.

Really loving the dumpling pattern, hand embroidered.

My sister and favorite niece came over one afternoon for an unexpected sewing project. They each made a dumpling zippy pouch. So, now, if a six year old, new to sewing can sew a zipper like a pro- so can you!
P.S. Don't tell them that zippers can be tricky. They don't know since I didn't mention it. As a result, they both did beautiful zippers and topstitched them perfectly!

These are the same zippy pouches from KeykaaLou's Dumpling pattern- enlarged 120%. I really liked some of these fabrics, but really messed up on piecing 2 of them. Maybe I can try again on the next batch.

Here is a new favorite of mine. Not this particular bag, but the mix of sewing, zippers, and hand embroidery. Alas, how many of these can I personally use?

Another Dumpling Pouch. I'll post several pictures of these as I come across the ones I have left. Remember, there are 30. The scissors show size comparison.
