I bought so much fabric last year that I can’t even remember what I have. My eyes light up when I see a piece I had forgotten all about. Like this burgundy “scissors” fabric. I knew I had the Moda scissors in white, black and bright orange.
So, when I saw the burgundy (Cranston Print Works) under layers of other fabric, you should have seen me jumping for joy. They would be my next zip bag.
This one is a little different than the first two. I added some embellishments.
- Black polka dot grosgrain ribbon
- Huge black/white/burgundy buttons
- Ball and chains
I know, I know. I have said it many times. But I am loving this one too.
Here are more photos I took.
Can’t you just see a larger version of this. Maybe one with snaps instead of a zipper.
Do you like working with zippers? They are kind of pricey, aren’t they? Where do you get yours?
I am going to make two more little zip bags and then I will spend some time with my umbrella blocks. Need to decide on mini quilt, lap quilt or bed sized.
Go here for tutorial to make your own little zippy bag.

Absolutely fab!!
I love the bag. The fabrics you used are awesome. You send the bag to me if you want. LOL. Great finish.
I love your bag
I buy my zippers from zipit on etsy. The last batch I bought ended up being about 34 cents a piece with shipping

Thanks, I will check this site out.
Great bag! I just love that feeling when you found something totally awesome in your stash that you completely forgot about, just too much fun!
I’ve NEVER sewn a zipper into anything but for a bag that cute I’ll have to give them a try!
oooh very very nice! Always useful for ladies!
The first one was cute, but I LOVE this one! This would make a great gift to someone who does hair I think.
It would!!
I think I am going to try to make one of these sometime in the next week or so.
You could make a couple with your dress fabrics. That would be cute.
(I forgot to say, thank you)
I was thinking of using some of the “posh” pieces I have that I bought from somewhere that aren’t big enough on their own for anything… I’ve got quite a bit of different satiny type fabrics in various earthy tones.
How awesome is this bag in scissors? I love it. Also buy zippers from Zipit on etsy – it’s a great shop!
Totally fun and cool!!
WOW!! Love that bag Donna. You are always so full of ideas!
Keep up the good work!
This bag is so pretty. I love the fabrics that you used and the way you embellished with buttons.
How cute is that bag? I love the scissors – and your embellishments are perfect! Whoop whoop!!
Thank you, everyone. Love reading your comments!!
I will have another little zippered bag to show you tomorrow. I have been experimenting with zipper insertion and have a look I am finally happy with.
