I am making 3 more Cotton Candy pouches as gifts for people at work. I am also trying to perfect my efforts at sewing this pattern.<\/p>\n

Making 3 requires a lot of cutting time. It took me about two hours to cut out all the pieces, which didn’t include forgetting to cut out the lining side panels! Duh! I guess I have decided that cutting out all the pieces at once is the best way to work.<\/p>\n

One of the things I found was that basting the side panels to a square and cutting the shape out later was really handy. Cutting out the side panel, which is tulip shaped, with the rotary template<\/a> on the Soft & Stable<\/a> is difficult. It is difficult, because the Soft & Stable is so thick. Cutting the shape out after basting it worked really well.<\/p>\n

I also found that basting the pieces to the Soft & Stable<\/a> in advance was really helpful. I know the pattern says to do it, but I hadn’t done it before.<\/p>\n

I am still struggling with veering the zipper. Apparently, I need to make more of these to get that right. I made some annotations to the pattern so I remember what to do next time and where salient points are in the videos.<\/p>\n
