My zippers I ordered from Wawak came in this evening!My quilted zippered purse design was from sewforum,the 'A' I added.The blue one is for my daughter,she wanted to drop down in her purse, for a little makeup,lipstick,eyeliner,etc.The pink has a strap for a little girl to carry on her wrist.I didn't want to go to a lot of expense, so how do you like how I attached the strap? I have enough of these pieces to make 25 bags at a cost of $1.59 at Michaels.(got them 50% off,reg $2.99 plus tax) I want to make some as christmas presents for my bus kids/Avery's girls in her class.Thankfully she only has 3 other girls in her class.LOL....scroll on down this post. I may have to put the last photo there since it is taking so l..o..n..g to upload

I love how you added the little ribbon on the zipper. And the split rings were a neat idea. They look great and I'm sure Avery's friends will love getting such a marvelous gift...

You are very welcome and it only took 3 working days to come in by FedX. I have plenty too.LOL You couldn't find them at a better price, even their regular price isn't bad.I was dissapointed in some quilting pins I ordered,though.They pick/hang on your fabric,uhg.I need to let them know.

You did a wonderful job on these. Very clever idea with the O rings too.

Thanks Karen-I was trying to keep the cost down and those swivel hooks/clips were too expensive, at over a dollar a piece.It may be alright if you just made a few, but it adds up if you make more.

Excellent work! did you make the strap? it matches perfectly.

toogie by toogie 18 Sep 2013

Yes, I made them.I cut one 1 and 1/4 in and the other 1 and 1/2 inch(wasn't sure) by 12inch.Then I folded each long edge in to meet in the middle and pressed.Then I folded edges to meet in the middle again and ironed.Then I stitched both long edges.You probally know this but I was explaining for those who don't. Thanks-Toogie

Good idea to add a strap. They become a lot more practical.

now we will know how to do this, thanks.

toogie by toogie 18 Sep 2013

Yes,I like the strap.I want to make more.It is just big enough for my Iphone,drivers license and a little loose cash.
