Zip-A-Bration!

Join us in celebrating National Zipper Day by serging two festive zipper bags! Yes, we are applying the zippers with our sergers! A simple cosmetic bag will be demonstrated using the optional Viking serger piping/cording foot. We will also be making a roomier box-shaped bag which features a longer zipper.
