I used a heavy interfacing which worked better (stays put better) than batting but may be a tad too stiff. Next time maybe I'll use fusible fleece.
I got all those pretty zips from Jennie at Zipit. I need to order more.
Off to work on basting a quilt- ugh! - my least favorite part of quilting!
So I'll leave you with a funny pic- this is what happens in the playroom when I am not looking. :)
Have a great day!

Funny picture! What size zips do you typically order? I see she has lots of different variety packs, but most of them are all the same length. What is the most versatile size in your opinion?
I think that 10" or 11" zips are pretty versatile because you can cut them down if needed but then you can also use them as is. Hope this helps!
Great pouches! Try the fusible fleece, I use it on everything now: pillows, pouches, bags. No icky crinkling or bubbling like the interfacing does when you have to turn the piece right side out!
Haha, when they get too quiet you know that it is time to see what they've gotten into
Fun colours indeed!! Love the zippy pouches.
And your kids....too adorable.
adorable pouches girl. I am tempted to try one
gorgeous colours for the pouches wish i could get my zip ends as neat as yours !!
Ha ha, what cuties (the girls, and the little purses). I am impressed with how neat and lovely your zip ends are... I have had a go at these, and there's definately room for improvement with my zip ends x
I love the picture....she has the dryer while he is holding on to the cars....some things never change :) Great zips!
Cute pouches! And your kids look like they're having fun! And much tamer than what goes on in our playroom when I'm not looking!
Oh yes, the 'salon phase'! Mine are still at it, and it's the only type of hairdressing I get!
I am so jealous of your zipper ends!

Gorgeous pouches....and be glad there were not scissors in her hand! We had an incident like that years ago, and one sibling had quite the "do" when the little stylist was finished! LOL
Love it! What cute kiddos!
He doesn't seem to object to her playing mommy!
Very cute wee pouches. I see wee bro hasn't got to the 'hating all things girl' yet :oD
Oh these are adorable!! And the kids, well what can I say? They're just gorgeous :-)
I have also begun using fusible fleece on all my non blanket/quilt projects, absolutely loving it! Great color choices and fantastic work on the pouches!

That is so cute of her doing his hair! Love it! And I'm with you on the basting thing - I always stall there, but once that's done, I'm super motivated to get the thing quilted!
Such a cute pic of your little darlings: and he's not minding yet, so all's good!! And your pouches art darling!!! You do a great job on them !!
Cute, cute, cute zipper pouches. And I love the picture of the kiddos playing hairdresser.
I have zip end envy!! Although, mine are just starting to look presentable-finally!
I'm dreadfully behind in my blog roll so I was just skimming but had to stop when I saw your kids--hilarious! And exactly what I needed as I finish up grading essays on this looooong night.
Your zip pouches are perfectly beautiful! Love the fabrics and the zip ends!!
Your children are adorable.
Wish I could get my zipper ends on pouches so neat! Love the pic of your girls playing hair dresser and that looks like a gorgeous quilt in the background too!
Could they be more adorable? I had to have my hubby look at the pic and we both were like "awwwww!!!"
Pretty pouches and the kids are too cute!
Cute pouches....would love one of them in my stocking!
Aww-what great kids. Your pouches turned out great. I am still trying to master the zipper. Yours are really nice.
I love your bags. What length zippers do you normally use?
