Zipped heart purse.


Use the same colour thread throughout.

Hoop tear-away stabiliser and stitch colour 1.

Place zip between the lines (open end at the left) and stitch colour 2.

Colour 3 will stitch the fabric above the zip. (Your choice whether to use double fabric or fabric with lining) Colour 4 will stitch the fabric below the zip.

In the one pictured, I stitched these two colours twice. The first time attaching the contrast fabric and the second time the main fabric.

Open the zip to the half-way point.

Place fabric for the back of the purse, face down, to cover the whole design and stitch the final colour.

Remove from hoop, cut out. Remove stabiliser covering the zip teeth and turn through.

Thanks, Vicki! Did you use a gingham zipper???? Adorable! Thanks

spendlove by spendlove 01 Mar 2013

No - its two strips of bias cut gingham folded double and pressed well.

hightechgrammy by hightechgrammy 02 Mar 2013

OOOPs, I meant Sue!!! Thank you Sue! I love that you made it so we can use folded double fabric! That opens up tons of options! Thanks, Sue!

This is darling!
I wondered, if you would take a quick trip across the pond – and stand watching over my shoulder – so I do it right? The zippers ITH make me so nervous. lol
You do such lovely work!

Hey Rescuer, Why don't you just drive on over the Rocky Mountains to Grand Lake with your machine and we'll make a weekend of stitchin' some of Sue's ITH projects together! Wouldn't that be fun!!!

rescuer by rescuer 28 Feb 2013

I would LOVE that!!!

spendlove by spendlove 01 Mar 2013

Don't be nervous - just use a zip that is longer than the gap and you will be OK!
Or pop over the pond one afternoon and we'll do one together!

rescuer by rescuer 01 Mar 2013

Sue, thank you for the tip. If I cannot get it done right, I will save my pennies to pay for a visit. An afternoon with Sue -- sounds fun! (It also sounds like a TV show lol)
Although, I think you should come here -- you might enjoy a trip or two shopping for fabric in the USA.

hightechgrammy by hightechgrammy 02 Mar 2013

Wouldn't it be sooo much fun to have a big get together and we could all stitch and giggle together! I bet we'd talk as much as we'd sew! Probably nibble on goodie treats too. And pray too. It's amazing how I feel like I know you so well!

Nice one, Sue, love the colours.
I bought a wagon-load of zips from Etsy and when I'm back home I hope they are waiting for me so I can make lots of lovely purses.
