Preparing Pencil Case Fabric and Zips

I like to come in to school during the first week of the school holidays and prepare as much work as I can for the beginning of term. This week I have prepared fabric to be turned into pencil cases for the current group of Year 7's - both TAI students and Outside school students - with a total of 7 groups. I try my best to utilise the fabric, which means minimal wastage. The left over strips of fabric tend to be less than 10cm wide and these are great for seam samples. Each piece of fabric is 33x40cm and overlocked on the two short sides to prepare for a 30cm zip to be attached. Once the five TAI groups were organised, I divided the left over fabric up for the two outside school groups and realised I was short 22 zips. 

 

Update 7/10: We've gone into another lockdown for two weeks. We won't know until Monday 18th if we will be returning to school for the start of Term 4.
