For the rest of the forseeable week, I'll be chained to the sewing machine, buried under a pile of new samples I'm sewing up for the
Australasian Quilt Market and my
classes in Sydney the following week. Not so fancy.
I've finished this new sample, which has somehow been dubbed "The Fancypants Hobo".... it's a bit special with those two exposed zippers in the front. They're there as an example of how to use one of
the techniques in the zipper class I'll be teaching at
Peg's Pieces (and back
at my studio in Melbourne later in the year).
Mind you, the
Hobo was always was a bit fancy. The instructions teach lots of bag-making tricks that bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate bag-making skills - all in a gently, gently sort of way, of course.
I must fly... time to find my way through the wilds of the eastern suburbs to
the serene south. I believe there's
a lemon tart with my name on it there.
Take a scroll through
the Treehouse Blog. (I feel a bit calmer just LOOKING at it...)

fanthy!
but do you have exposed zipper tape edges on the inside or are they hidden behind the pocket bag? hmm?
gosh that looks a nice place to visit, enjoy your tart!
Ms Penguin, I use this pocket method all the time. The zipper ends are hidden between the outer bag and pocket! Mmmm lemon Tart....
ohmygoodgracious, this is a beautiful post!!!!!
Crikey, just checked out the Treehouse blog - how beautiful.
Lucky you!! Hope you have a great class and time to pop the feet up as well.
Buried under fabric and at my machine is my kind of heaven, but I wouldn't say no to being at Treehouse Texiles enjoying lemon tart though. The fancypants hobo bag is gorgeous - great fabric.
Oooh, lemon tart... bag looks good too ;o)
Ooooh, love those front zipper pockets!
