A while back Elizabeth Hartman updated her Perfect Zip Bag pattern and I finally had a chance to sew a few up just before Christmas. Eh hem, yeah okay it was Christmas Eve...sue me. {wink}
Look at that! A practically perfect zipper pouch corner. That alone made me happy but the way Elizabeth attaches the zipper is different than anything I've ever seen and I was very happy with the results of that too!
I am so proud of the quality of these bags; they really turned out top notch!
I can't say enough good things about the pattern.
Isn't that zipper pull cute? I picked that up at Fabric Nosherie a week ago. Always good stuff there!
I've been pretty much a sewing/crafting slacker with vacation and Christmas in December. It also doesn't help that I've been sick twice this month and this second go-round is particularly sucky. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be flagged on some sort of Illinois DEA list for buying so much medicine.
I can't wait to get well and start some new projects in 2012!

Cute bags!! I think that is one pattern I don't have...need to check that out...zipper bags make such great gifts..
Wow, those zippers do look awesome. Really, really awesome. Glad you were up for some Christmas Eve sewing =)
Ooh... These look great. I think I'm going to have to pick up that pattern myself.
Sorry you've been under the weather. Lots of that here, too, unfortunately. I've been looking forward to all of this time off to sew, and all I've done is lay in bed.
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Hi! I've been working on these bags too, over at http://crafting-a-rainbow.tumblr.com/ ... but I'm really impressed with the tidiness of your corners! How do you get it to tuck so perfectly under the zipper? And can I ask, what fabric are you using for interlining? Thanks!
You did a lovely job with the patchwork - I'm sure everyone who received them was really happy!
Your bags are adorable! I've been thinking of getting that pattern and your zipper testimonial has convinced me!
I hope you're feeling better! (I feel your pain with all the germs going around our house lately!). Those bags are adorable though...I love all the little details!
darling. love the acorn zipper.
