facing the zipper head on

Back when the fabulous Polly from polbymade was in Canberra I would often  utilise her skills to help me out of a bind with something I was attempting to make.  I learnt a lot from Polly but the patterns I always chose (and still do!), were from Japanese pattern books and usually shied away from the evil zipper.  Well, in line with my new years resolution to face the zipper head on, I have enrolled in a zipper class in September with the wonderful Nicole Mallalieu from You SEW Girl. Yah!  I will be stacking up zipper projects from now until then.
