This time I was at home so could do it my way, and I'm so pleased I did. I love this Kaffe Fassett bag, and have already found things to store in it. Now I have two and that will be enough for a while.

| I like to hand sew my bindings down. |
Pattern is Sew Together Bag by Sew Demented on Craftsy.
The tutorial I used is by Quilt Barn and is on her blog here.
And a link back to my blog post about my first bag is here.
If you're keen to use fancy zippers, here what I did.
1. Source some fancy zippers. There are lots on Amazon.
2. Sew a normal seam and press, and then press wrong side together.
3. Place the zip face down, and then the fabric wrong side down. Sew along the zip with the zipper foot on.
4. It will look like this:
5. Turn it over and it will look like this (so use matching thread):
6. Repeat on the other side, and then (and only then), sew the bottom of the pocket together.

love your bags!!
Those bags are delightful! I didn't know there were fancy zips like those.
So pretty! And you were right to use those lacey zippers- they're great!
Those fancy zippers make it so much happier.
These look fabulous. Well done with the fancy zips! You have inspired me to try one.
Bindings have to be hand sewn in my book! Though I must have reversed mine, the hand stitching is on the zipper edge on the two I made.
These look great!
You knew those fancy lace zippers would work! They look great. I only have two, so I might save them for something else. Also, after sewing my sixth sew together bag this weekend, maybe I am finally done. Maybe.
They look gorgeous. I have always meant to make one, this is on my "one day list".
