Then, you’ll conquer skills for zipper installation—from choosing the right zipper to creating attractive end-tabs—and find out how to create two functional, polished pocket styles. Wondering how to create chic-yet-sturdy handles? Lisa will demonstrate how to sew custom handles and explain how using closures can create a classier bag.
