Heavy duty zipper with heavy fabric

I did some experimenting with different kinds of zippers. The uploaded photo (with the red zipper) shows what happens when the zipper is too lightweight for the fabric. The fabric is stiff, but the zipper tape is thin and doesn't lie flat.

I highly recommend using sturdy Klumhouse zippers when working with heavy fabric, especially waxed canvas. Check out the other uploaded photo (with the white zipper). It's an appropriate weight for the fabric and lies flat.

Affordable and convenient

I appreciate being able to buy these zippers from Klumhouse. Great quality and matches the fabric making my life easier. Now all I have to do is sew

Gift Sets

Fremont totes are sturdy, practical gifts. I like to tuck a matching miniature Fremont (or flat pouch) inside each tote I give away to make a set.

The 8-inch zippers are a perfect size for these matching minis. Scaling down the Fremont pattern to fit the 8-inch zipper was also a fun challenge.

Here's a picture of a crimson mini.
