Serging is one of the quickest and cleanest ways to insert a zipper. You’ll learn just how easy it is as you create this zippered bag with a reversible bow. The bow is outlined with piping, giving the bag a tailored look and feel. A serger capable of doing a 3-thread wide overlock with a piping or cording foot (has a groove running from front to back right next to the left needle) is required for this class. Bring your own fabric; see supply list for details.
