Hello and welcome to our weekly hop around the desks of the crafting world.
Yesterday afternoon I decided to squeeze in another little project, with a zip, between prom dress sewing sessions.
This time I’m trying out end covers to see if I can get a better finish. I decided I didn’t like the red zip after all…..
…..and changed it (along with the lining fabric) to sunny yellow.
What’s happening in your work space this week?

I'm always impressed when people put zippers in things. It's something I never do :) Happy WOYWW hugs Nikki 2
I'm impressed too, I can barely sew a button (and that's not neatly either!) Love the sunny yellow fabric. Looking forward to lemon drizzle... lol!! See you Saturday. Helen 4
Looks like Helen is hinting at what kind of cake she wants for the crop on Saturday. I think the colors are really adorable, but being able to sew a straight line is something I can't seem to do. Adding a zipper would be a miracle! Glad it's you and not me! Happy last Wed before the crop from #9.
love the fabric please show us what it becomes in the end
Happy WOYWW thanks for sharing

I am not really a sewer...I happened to see how to put end bits on zips on a pin and went to look...it was quite easy to follow. here is the link...it made me want to give it a try! http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=369541.0
Fun fabric and colors. Happy WOYWW and enjoy the fun of your crop.

OOh, daring! Leaving one thing to do a little something else. Of course I love the fabric

Gorgeous fabric :). And I can't believe you took the zip out and re-did it - I'd be so thrilled to actually get a zip in there's no way it'd ever come out!
Oh wow love all of those fabrics - lea number 38
Hi Fiona, what a brilliant fabric. Agree the yellow zip is perfect. See you on Saturday, Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #21 xx
I think either color would have worked nicely - can't wait to see the finished product!
Oh...what lovely fabric.
Thank you again for doing some of the cakes for the Crop...it just makes life a little less frenetic for me on Friday when I'm doing the three things for lunch! Lisa Jane and another friend are also doing some, so we should have sufficient cakes to keep a crafty coven for the day!!!
Looking forward to seeing you again,
Lots of love, LLJ 18 xxx
I'm loving the fabric! Lush. Good luck with prom dress. I'm lucky, Keagan has got his suit from my brother's wedding last Nov so he'll wear that! See you Saturday! Take care Zo xx 51
I am not good at zippers at all...so I need to practice. Love that fabric with the cute buildings! Sandy Leigh #52
What fab colours! I also think people who can put zips in are somehow magic :)

Oh nice idea, the tabs make a real classy finish, and you know I just love that house fabric. Sort of stuff I buy because I love it and then have no practical use for it, I a souls growing out of it!!
What gorgeous fabric. I admire anyone that can sew, it's double dutch to me!!

oooo zips - one day I will have to take the plunge and try to make a make up bag or pencil case. Lovely choice of fabric x
I still have zipper trauma from Home Economics in 9th grade. Love the fabrics and colors! #58
Gorgeous fabric and a great way to practice zips x
Love the fabric and yes a zip colour change is much better in yellow. I am impressed with anyone who can sew especially sew a zip in.
Thanks for sharing and sorry for visiting so late in the week.
