    Thanks, Pam, for sharing the link to Josie's tutorial. I've always hated those puckered ends of a zipper on a pouch or tote. Her tutorial will end that for me!

    After reading various tutes on this subject and still having problems with Tabs, I'm happy to say your tute seems to have solved my dilemma. This is the first time I've read that it's important to slip just a small amt of zip into the Tabs. That's the key to success for me. Thanks so much!

      It can sometimes be quite fiddly to insert just a little of the zip end into the tab, in which case put in as much as you like stitch the zip into the tab and then turn the tab inside out and trim zipper excess to required size :)

      Josie explained it really well, didn't she, Lin. I do the same as Josie, and only add a small amount of the zipper in the tab.

    After you very kindly showcased my tutorial Pam, I received an email asking if I could write another one showing how to make the actual lined pouch with contrast panel. I've done it and will share it in your lovely link party!
