Rogue - Really and Truly Finished
I know I said that Rogue was finished last May, but the sad truth is that it has taken me EIGHT MONTHS to work up the courage to put a zipper in her. What can I say? I had the Zipper Fear. But no more! She's all done. The backstitching is a little wonky on one side (my handsewing was a bit rusty) and it probably zips a little higher than I'd like, but on the plus side I did a really good job of hiding the teeth when it's zipped. I'm calling it a win. (For my fellow zipper virgins, this site was particularly useful - especially the tip about basting the edges together first.) Now I just need to steek the Cabled Jacket of Doom and put the zipper in her...

Yay! Well done. You won't regret the zippering. Now you're no longer a zipper virgin you'll be sticking zippers in everything....
