I've been making more of the great zipper pouches. I started these originally following the FREE online video course from Craftsy – Bag Making Basics – Reversible Tote and Zipper Pouch. These are super quick and easy to make, and I've made a ton of them. I sell them in my Etsy shop – Print or Plain, and in local gift shops here on the island. They sell REALLY well to the tourists. I think because they are so bright and colorful and fit in with island lifestyles. Soft and comfy to carry, big enough for the essentials but not too bulky and obvious. I use one everyday and so do all my friends since I've been making these.
Plus from 20th March I also have them on a 4 day sale at PinkEPromise. Usual price $12.99, but on special sale at PinkEPromise for just $8.70. They are a great daily deals site selling lots of cute things, PLUS they give a proportion of sales to a breast cancer charity so you can feel good about yourself while you shop.
And do check out Craftsy for the free bag making course – you can't get better than free sewing training.
I like the idea of the middle zipper and shape! but would like it larger for a make up bag.
Very cute!
I took this course right before Christmas and made for my mom, sister, and of course had to give one to myself, the tote and zipper pouch. The thing I loved the most was that I have been able to make them out of remnants that I find at the fabric store.
So right Maureen. It uses such small pieces of fabric, interfacing etc that it can be made for free from leftovers, just needs a zip and you are done.
