The Atlas Zipper Case is the perfect quilted organizer to keep your items contained and orderly. The inside includes two large vinyl slip pockets, one large zipper pocket, and two small zipper pockets that are great for storing sewing supplies, electronics, jewelry, makeup, art supplies, or everyday essentials. Just pick some of your favorite coordinating fabrics, some matching vinyl and zippers and you're all set to make this trendy case.

During this bag series, students will practice basic quilting skills, as well as using single- and double-fold bias binding, installing zippers, and attaching vinyl pocket panels. This class is suitable for intermediate level students who have prior bag making experience and basic quilting experience, especially sewing with zippers. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
