I promised a finished craft project and craft tutorial every month and it will be slightly delayed this February. Not forgetting today is February 29th, a leap year!! It may not make any difference to our routines but I still feel that today is a special day, especially to those who are born on February 29th! I digress…

I sent my trusty Brother sewing machine to the Brother service center today. My bobbin stopped winding and I used my MagLite and saw that some rubber part had melted (after trying to dismantle and remove the cover, and being unsuccessful, and loosening two nuts that I couldn’t put back without removing the cover). Had to lug it all the way to Beach Road on my own on public transport, the 1-hour bus ride really made me sick. It will cost $30 for servicing + extra money for any parts replacement.

So anyhow, I only have part of a zipper pouch tutorial today.

Step 1: Cut your fabrics
I’m making a rounded pouch today and I’m using a 7″ zipper. You will need something that has a BIG circular base to trace the curved shape of the pouch. Prepare 2 pieces for your “outer fabric” and 2 pieces for your “inner”/lining fabric.

You have the option to recycle or sell your item on the Flea Mart by clicking on the orange button when you’re in the Dress Up section. When you recycle, you will get a Shell to replace your item. Great for those items that aren’t moving or selling for less than 9 shells.

Hilarious Engrish!

Selling Tip
You should sell at 9 shells instead of 10 shells because there will not be a 10% commission (1 shell) charged as they round down the commission. Similarly, you should sell at 19 shells instead of 20 shells because the commission will be 1 shell instead of 2!

Shell Spring Note
I tried tossing in 5 of the same checkered shells but that does not give you a “nicer” or more “unique” item, so don’t bother. You should sell the checkered shells for more as those who do not know seem to think they will get a better item with the checkered shells and are willing to pay more for them.

I also noticed that you will not get any ribbons after posting the 7th consecutive item in a day. I may not be 100% correct, perhaps it’s for the hour or a certain time frame. If you have anything to add, kindly leave a comment!
