Finally! It's time to officially begin the
Triple-Zip Along! If you haven't already:
- Join the Triple-Zip Along flickr group by clicking this link and 'join this group!'
- Take a pic of the fabric and zips you are planning to use and post it in the group. For those still trying to decide, you'll get some ideas there! Just be sure and choose some fabrics you really enjoy. They can be coordinating prints and solids or all the same. Same with the zips. Use what you like or use what you have - it'll all work!
- Locate the tutorial we will be following and get a copy you can refer to throughout the process. You'll find it in a blog post here, and a pdf version is here.
So to start, let's cut out our fabric and fleece!
Cutting Instructions
1 – main body fabric, 8” x 9 ½”
1 – fusible fleece, 8" x 9 ½”
2 – front accent pieces (can be the same or contrasting), 8" x 1 ¼”
2 – pieces fusible fleece, 8" x 1 ¼”
