A Zippy Challenge
I am ashamed… for not having the courage to try zippers after sewing for half a year now! After some encouragement from my friend Minh, I finally took the challenge! ^0^
Do you like my shell pouches? I end up making two!
Except that the seams are a bit wiggly when attaching the zippers, I’m quite happy with how they turned out – Puffy & cute!! As a zipper first timer, I probably should have picked a straight opening pouch project, but oh wells
I really like how the bottom is finished off!
The small one is a bit tiny, can be used as a coin purse I think, and the bigger pouch is a good size for anything!!
The shell pouches are based off the pattern from this tutorial – instructions are only in Japanese, but the photos are quite self-explanatory!
PS. I thought I’ll take a break from my crochet posts despite my massive obsession! ^0^ Hope you are having a lovely weekend!


That little one is perfect! I’m in need of a coin pouch, so the fact that you’ll use your little one for that is terrific. Who doesn’t need something to hold all that pesky change in?
Good on your first time! Nicely done!;)
oh wow, they turned out quite well! there must be something in the air if you look here:http://madebyjoel.blogspot.com/
You’ve only been sewing six months?!!! Jo you make the cutest stuff. Yet again I’m in love… The bottom puff/ pleat is gorgeous.
wow, you’ve done well for first zips. i still have trouble with mine!!
love the bottom of the pouch. nice details!
=D keep up the good work!
They are so cute Jo!
I can’t believe that they are the first zippers you did. They are perfect
