Some Sewing Fun

Last weekend I decided that I wanted to have a go at some sewing and make a project bag with a zipper.  I had seen some pins on Pinterest of the kind of bag I wanted but I hadn't sewn a zipper before.  This is the tutorial I used.

The bag turned out really well.  I ended up hand-sewing it rather than machine sewing as I wanted the greater control of going slowly. 

The finished bag is 11 inches x 7 inches because I wanted a nice and roomy project bag and I bought 9 inch zips.  I bought 3 zips from the haberdashery and I have already planned which of my fabrics I want to use for the other two.
