If you are having difficulty sewing the pul fabric, don’t hesitate to use a Teflon or a walking foot.
Tips & tricks
Depending on the size you chose, you can shorten your zipper by using a stopper. Feel free to also refer to Valérie’s article on How to shorten a zipper (article in french). She explains everything step by step so you can use her tips in all your future projects !

The only step left is to turn your bag inside out, so your snack bag is ready for use. You can always put them in the washer and dryer whenever you find them getting a little dirty and they will be like new.
