Recessed Zipper How-To I've had a few questions about how to install a recessed zipper closure on a handbag. This has to be the longest tutorial written in the history of tutorials! I did my best to explain, but please let me know if anything is unclear. You Will Need: - (1) 14" zipper- (2) 15.5" x 2.5" inside upper fabric- (2) 15.5" x 16" inside lower fabric (I demonstrate using my own pattern, feel free to experiment!)- (2) 15.5" x 18.25" outer fabric (or your own pattern) * If you use your own tote pattern, be sure to alter your lining pattern to account for the extra fabric above the zipper - you want your outer and inner pieces to match after you install the zipper. 1. 2. Lift the presser foot and pull the zipper to the other side of the foot. Back stitch at the beginning and end, by the zipper stops. 3. 4. 5. Center the 2nd top strip along the zipper and sew. Place last bare side of zipper face down on last lining piece and sew. 6. 7. 8. You should be getting an idea of your finished bag! 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.
How to melt chocolate | Australia's Best Recipes Know your enemies When melting chocolate beware of the two enemies: heat and water. Excessive heat will quickly burn the chocolate, where as even the smallest amount of water will turn the chocolate stiff and grainy. To combat the elements keep your equipment completely dry when handling chocolate and never expose it to extreme heat. Also, don't use a wooden or plastic spoon to stir the melting chocolate as these both retain moisture and can lead to a grainy final product. Break it up Regardless of how you choose to melt your chocolate, breaking it into smaller pieces will help it melt more quickly and evenly. Bain-marie method This method is the easiest to monitor, and is a good choice for temperamental white and milk chocolate. Step 1 Fill the bottom of a small saucepan with water and bring to a gently simmer. Step 2 Place your finely chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl that will fit snugly above the saucepan. Step 3 Using a metal spoon, stir the chocolate until it is melted and glossy.
Tutorial-How to make interesting leather straps for purses I really like to experiment a lot in bag making.I am bored of the plain straps,so I made these chic straps for my new purse & clicked pics so I could belt out a quick tutorial :) Here is what we are going to make. Isn't it yummy looking:) For this you have to first cut strips from your leather/faux leather/rexin or whatever material you choose.The dimensions are 5" wide by whatever length you want.I have used 20".So cut 2 strips of 5" by desired length. Draw a line on the wrong side in the center of the strip lengthwise like this.Ummm.............OK the line is really faint but I hope you got the point,if not I am here:) Now fold one side lengthwise (wrong side together) so it touches the line in the center & sew. This is what you will get. Now fold the other side similarly & sew.Now you will have a strip 2.5" wide.Fold it in half again & sew the entire length.Sew 2 more lines at regular distance lengthwise throughout the strip.This is the result,a 1.25" wide strap.

Knitting project bags and tutorial for lined box bag with no raw seams I made some cute knitting bags, and if you make it through this whole post, there's information on how to do it. There's a particular forum post I have been drawn to a few times over the past year. I guess this is a part II, actually (link here if you're on Ravelry). It's a way for people to get rid of yarn they no longer want (perhaps you had an extra skein leftover after a project and never want to see that yarn again) and get a little package of goodies in return. I'm going to get some of this thick/thin merino wool In exchange, I offered to make the other woman a sock knitting bag, meaning a small bag for sock projects. The pyramid bag is pretty cool, but a bit big for a sock project bag. The square bag came from two tutorials, mainly this one on Drago[knit]fly, but I also borrowed some modifications from this one on 20 Acres and No Sheep. The thing is, all the box bag tutorials I found end up sewing the outer fabric and lining as one piece, and therefore have raw seams inside. What?
Little Betty Bag :: Free Pattern And Tutorial I am so excited with how this little bag turned out! I have made five now, each time being able to prefect the pattern a little more, and it’s finally ready to release for your sewing pleasure. The style is a cross body, which is a personal favorite of mine. It allows for you to put it on and forget it. Especially handy at the grocery store, or any where else I need free hands to chase little ones. It’s fun to sew, and the possibilities for variation are endless. There are many variations that can be made to this bag, but I will let you use your imagination for those, and just go over the steps for the bag I made. Save on ink when printing! If you are new to sewing I have a Sewing Tips Directory that might come in handy. Fabric requirements: A half a yard total is more than enough to make the bag body. A heavier fabric works best, like a canvas, twill, or anything that has a sturdy weight. Supplies: Preparing the Pattern and Fabric Cuts: You will cut as follows: Bag Assembly:
