Thanks Glenna! I think I used a little too much wax this first time though! I’ve also read that you can run it through the dryer to help it even out. I want to find a cheap laundry bag to put it in first to keep the wax from getting all over the dryer.

Great tutorial Kristy! I’ve never seen anything on waxing fabric. So cool!

I’m a wing it girl too! I mean, I hadn’t decided how I was going to do my corners until after I had sewn on the zipper. Maybe I should have figured that out sooner!

And I didn’t end up using the zipper foot. I just pulled the piece out, moved the head of the zipper, and then started the seam back up again (overlapping part of it). Had I used it, I could have just gone right down the length without stopping, but that would have meant taking the time to find it.

So glad you’re a Sherlock fan now! And trust me, if the wait between seasons is anything like it was last time, the 3 episode thing will be the least of your concerns!

Wow Kristy! Still loving the bag. I’m kind of a ‘wing it’ kinda girl when it comes to sewing. But boy am I glad to read through your tutorials! I always learn something new. I’ve sewed zipper before, but never hauled out my zipper foot, you’ve got me dying to try it!

I’m on season two of Sherlock now, gah I love fast talking shows that really make you think. Thanks for getting me hooked! Now only if they’ll film more than 3 episodes per season…
