This month’s project is Zippy Bags – This is a mostly in-the-hoop project. The Zippy this year has a fun diagonal zipper that allows for easy access, is fully lined, and has an optional applique medallion on the front. I’ve done 6 sizes for hoops from 5” x 7” to 10 ½” x 16”. The finished sizes are from 3 ¼” w x 3 ¾” h to 7 ¾” w x 9 ½” h. Non-directional prints work best.
The Medallion Applique is built into the Zippy Bag designs, but I’ve also included five sizes of the Applique so you can mix and match!

Hi I'm PJ
Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, PJ’s Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.
I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
