How to Make a Quilted Zipper Wristlet or Cosmetic Bag

This week’s tutorial features a great beginner project especially for those of you that have never sewn a zipper into any project. I show you step-by-step how to make a quilted zipper wristlet pouch/ cosmetic bag. Great way to practice your sewing and quilting skills and they whip up pretty quick! All you need is fabric for the outside, some batting, lining fabric, one 8″ zipper, coordinating thread and your usual sewing supplies. To hold the fabric and zipper layers together you can use pins or a fabric glue stick. I prefer to use the Lapel Stick. This tutorial has been submitted as my audition video for the My Craft Channel Fresh Faces Talent Search. I hope you’ll consider making this project yourself.
