I have wanted to try to make a handbag with a top zipper closure, but honestly I have been avoiding it. I am all for trying new things, but for some reason I just never did with this. I don’t know if it was something in the air or what but I did it. I bought my zippers, picked out some fabric, came home and went to work. I had planned on finishing it tonight. However after school and allergy testing (which by the way I need to live in a glass bubble) I am so exhausted. I got some of it done and hopefully I will finish it tomorrow. That is, if I can manage to pull off installing the whole top zipper thing. Wish me luck…
I am really liking this bag, I love the pleats. Ill love it even more if I can manage to finish it

Hi Hannah! My goodness you have been productive! And all these beautiful bags you have made! Good luck with the zipper. I used to sew all my own clothes and buttons and zippers were a breeze. Lately I avoid anything with buttons and zippers though. Then last year I made this bag with a zip in the top and screwed it up completely! It is actually very simple, we just need to get over our own worries! I look forward seeing your bag! You can do it!
