Making with Marilyn

Hi, my name is Marilyn and I love to make! Actually, I am obsessed with making, watching videos about making, and thinking about making. I have created this channel so that I can share with others the joy of making. So please join me for a project sometime.

Making with Marilyn

For my Youtube Live tomorrow night at 6:30 PM Central Time, there will be five of us (Patrice, Demps, Eve, Rachel, and myself) sewing a zipper pouch using our sewing machines. You can make any size you want, because the process is the same regardless of the size, but here is what I will be using:
* 2 pieces of outside fabric cut to 9 1/4" wide and 6" tall
* 2 pieces of lining fabric also cut to 9 1/4" wide and 6" tall
* An 8" nylon zipper. The overall length of the zipper tape is about 9 1/4" wide. I'm using a number 3 zipper. Also, you can use a longer nylon zipper and cut it down to the correct size.
* Interfacing of your choice. I am going to use a thin fusible interfacing on my lining and a fusible fleece interfacing on my outside fabric.

I hope you will be able to sew along.

Making with Marilyn

I made this fabric basket recently and it holds my polka dot elastic so perfectly! And then I made the Making with Marilyn branding plaque on live with Patrice of Craftable Things and Angel of Angel B Designs last night on Patrice's Channel. I love it and I can only imagine it will show up in some of my shorts/reels and posts! Link to elastic in case you are interested. amzn.to/4pMgx9J
