Caroline, that's a beautiful bag. It was a good idea to make it with the Jenny Beyer fabric.

Caroline, That is so pretty. Love the colors and the paisley print. Forget the zippers. I have had 3 zippers break in my purses in the last 2 weeks. Bummer.

I vote for velcro anyday. LOL Besides, zippers can be a real pain to sew into something. That is why some smart person invented velcro. Did you know it came about because of cockle burrs? Someone noticed how they attach to each other.

Great job. Have a wonderful, God blessed day. And give little Natalie a big hug. Love and hugs across the miles, Shirley Mae

Carolyn, you are a wonderful seamstress. I am always amazed at your work but I continue to ask the same question, "Do you ever sleep?"

website for how to insert zipper in top of bag:
