Here's my little project from yesterday... A little mermaid bag for my cousin's daughter (all grown up with daughters of her own!) who swears that she was a mermaid in a prior life!

Love that bag!
Hugs, Lidia

you did a beautiful job. who did you learn the tabs from? i really like that.

Love your bag. I immediately went and watched a Jenny Doan tutorial on how to do the zipper ends. They look so neat and tidy. Thanks for showing us.

Gorgeous!!!

Excellent -- she will really appreciate it.

Great looking.

This looks very professional and I know it will be utilised well. ❤️ Chris

great zip purse. Love the look of those tabs too. Jenny Doan does some fabulous tutorials doesn't she?

Love the fabric you have chosen, and the design is terrific. Sandra.

Is a cute mermaid bag, hugs Maria

Lovely bag you have created. Well done!/Lillian

OH, this is so darling! Your cousin's daughter will not be the only one who loves that mermaid bag. There is a lot of love in it! Thanks for sharing! Maria

Love your bag esp the lining material. Where can I buy Decor-Bond? thanks.

I bought mine at Hobby Lobby. It's 45 inch wide and about $4.99 a yard but you can get 40% off one item . Either print it before you go or bring it up on your phone and show at register/checkout.

Sharon, my daughter reminded me we have a field trip with Avery's class and she thought it was for March 30th. I said oh no, I can't go if its then! she rechecked and its the 31st..... She asked why couldn't I go. I told her Jo-Ann's is opening that day, in the old Hancock Fabrics store!-lol

Toogie & sjbrower,
thank you for prompt reply. You all are so kind. I will go to Jo Ann's & try to get some. I don't think I have any Hobby Lobby close to me.I have gotten a lot advice thru Toogie in the past. Thanks. phyllis .

Love your bag and the FABRIC!!!! I need to check out the way you did the tab on the zipper ends. They do look neat.
Don't you just love sharing ideas on Cute!!! I cut my tab about 1 1/2 x 4 1/2 then make. I find my 0 split rings at Michaels, to attach size 0.47 in or 12mm for about $2.50 but they have the 40% off coupon on site, use your phone. There are 50 in a pack so you can make lots!!!

Those tabs are from a 1 1/2 in piece as well, so just making that longer will make this as well. I just tried that, but tried stuffing it through the eye of the zipper tab.... major fail! Thanks for answering my question even before I asked!
