Zippered Bags with a Twist- One Way Zip Class

This post contains affiliate links to products that I own, use and love.

Have you seen this new Zippered Bags With A Twist- One Way Zip Class with Joan Hawley on Craftsy? If the answer is no, then my question to you is why not?

Not only did I really enjoy watching Joan teach but the projects are quickly becoming my favs!  (Actually, if you are on my Christmas exchange list please stop reading, this might be a spoiler alert.)

One Way Zip Class

Let’s take a look at the class-

Joan Hawley from Lazy Girls Designs walks you through her signature one-zip technique and shares 3 of her popular patterns.

• The Becca Bag
• Sweetpea Pods
• Fobio

These patterns are valued over $30.00 if bought separately not to mention the 2 hours of video instructions for one low price.

Now, if you are not familiar with Joan and Lazy Girls Designs you might be wondering about this one-zip technique well, let me explain; each project only uses one side of the zipper teeth. This technique makes sewing in zippers a breeze and is just BRILLIANT!

I won’t give all the secrets away but I can tell you that with each project you earn a badge of honor.

My favorite project from the class is the Fobio.

It seriously takes me longer to pick out my fabrics & zipper combo’s than it does to make the Fobio. I LOVE it! No joke, I actually used the stop watch feature on my phone and realized that I from start to finish, this project was under 10 minutes. That’s everything from cutting to finishing details my friends!

I knew instantly after making my first one that this was a winner and went to the scrap stash. It did not take long for me to deplete my zipper stash. Now, I’m keeping all of my half zippers in a bag and ordering the zipper heads to make more in the future.
