This pattern is suitable for confident beginner to intermediate sewers. You should be comfortable with operating your sewing machine, using a walking foot, how to use a rotary cutter, etc. You’ll be sewing with vinyl and zippers, installing a magnetic snap - Don’t let these things scare you!
I am so thankful for all my lovely long-term loyal customers. New horizons beckon for my retirement and I am ready to share all I know to make your own Bitzy Bob’s.
REQUIRED Equipment:
Sewing Machine with ¼” foot, walking foot and zipper foot.
If you have never sewn with vinyl, check your machine for a silicone foot. No foot? Your machine may sew just fine. See the video tutorial.

Rotary Cutter - 45 or 60mm - my fav is the Olfa 60mm. Treat yourself to a new blade to make the sewing experience so much more enjoyable.

Quilting Rulers - 12”x 24” and 8”x12”
Iron, pressing surface and cloth
Scissors: I wear my 4” curved scissors for trimming threads. Regular scissor for trimming bulk when finishing.
Turning Tool - I use an old craft paint brush to poke my corners.
Seam Ripper - For fixes and to make the holes for the magnetic snap.
