Finished or Not Finished Friday!

 

I’ve been sewing crumb blocks. Light neutrals in anticipation of the last two months of RSC20. I had some that looked like this. 

Chunks and  odd size pieces. So I made a zip bag using this pattern. 

The pattern uses string blocks. But I had crumb blocks, no problem. I had a white 9 inch zipper,  so the big bag  happened. 

Then I spied this bright green zipper in my tote. 

It’s called a skirt or neck zipper. 7”. The price was 30 cents. This must have been in my mom’s stuff! So I gathered some green strings and 2 pink ones just because. The pattern suggest paper foundation or interfacing. I decided to use interfacing. I have an old stash of that too. It’s not fusible, but for string piecing it doesn’t need to be. 

This is the result. 

The inside is a yellowish neutral that was already cut to the correct size, because......

The zipper pull tab on this zip is little. So I searched my drawers of buttons and baubles and found this starfish charm.

I couldn’t find my jump rings, but I know I have some. Temporarily it is attached with a gold foil twist tie. I think it closed a gift bag of specialty candy once! 

The bigger bag has a scrap of the cut off nylon zipper teeth. Have you ever used the remains of a zipper for a "pull"?

So two zipper pouches are finished and ready to  be added to my bags for our holiday road trip.
